A Linux User in a Windows World

Alla som känner mej vet ju om att jag gillar spel. Och jag spelar EVE Online sedan länge. Och nu har jag även spelat lite StarTrek online, dels för att jag gillar StarTrek och lite för att se var det är.

Alla saker som har med marknaden är mycket utvecklade i EVE eftersom allt görs av spelarna, men i StarTrek är mycket skapat av spelet så man har inte så mycket hjälp när man ska sälja saker. (more…)

Apparently there are some work going on in France to put up taxes on tablet PC. Well this might not be that strange, as we have seen taxes on blank CD’s and on cassette tapes. But now the politisians are going over the deep end I think. The will exclude tablet PC’s that runs Windows. Because then its obviously a computer.

As I said in my post earlier I have upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 from 9.10. As I’m running kde that means that the messenger system you are using is kopete. Installing that is easy but moving over the config files is a bit more hassle as its a bit spread out and its also using kwallet to store some information.

As I said in my post earlier I have upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 from 9.10. I use Openoffice quite a lot to write documents and so, and as I’m quite often sharing documents with windows users, I do use Arial as a standard font. Somewhere during my transition, it went away.

As I said in my post earlier I have upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 from 9.10. In 10.10 the pulseaudio system is more integrated in all applications and is quite good – in my opinion, but that also means that some of the “old” programs are not installed.

As I said in my post earlier I have upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 from 9.10. After getting my browser to work, next thing was to get my mail up and running again. This means installing Thunderbird.

As I said in my post earlier I have upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 from 9.10. One of the first thing I needed to do was to add my second disk. The laptop I have has 2 500 GB disk and the second one was not installed/used during the install. So I need to add that one.

As I said in my post erlier I have upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 from 9.10. And one thing that was driving me crazy was the fact that when moving a windows up to the top left corner – a think I usually do as I’m having 4 virtual desktops for different things going on – make the system think I what to make it full screen. NO I DON’T.

As I said in my post earlier I have upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 from 9.10. When I did the install i thought I did set Swedish as the default except for languages. I hate to have commands replying back in Swedish and so, but I still prefer things to be in Swedish, like money and date format and so on. But apparently I missed something.
