Comment on Aero Snap effect for Metacity by Brian Szymanski

I take that back – the problem in my case was a conflicting setting for the compose key. What worked for me was changing my compose key to printsc. Cheers.

For whatever reason, on my ubuntu 11.04 machine with a Dell keyboard I have to change for . xev identifies the right windows key correctly as Super_R, but the left windows key as Multi_key. Hope that helps someone.

Comment on OS X Lion Upgrade – Slow Terminal Login by Adam

Awesome! Indeed, losing those logfiles returns Terminal.app to its pre-Lion snappiness.

Of course, I’ve just switched over to using iTerm2, so we’ll see if I switch back. Thanks for pulling the “censorship,” though.

I’ve removed the censoring; I’d intended that to be temporary. Strange it didn’t work for you, that’s more on the backend (that I don’t control).

Links restored.

I was hoping to see the link you referenced in this post, as I’m experiencing the same slow /bin/login after my own Lion upgrade … but the “uncensored” blog post doesn’t preserve the link, so even after sending a heartfelt anti-SOPA note to my reps, I’m left scratching my head and wondering what you found to improve things. I’d award +5 points for the anti-SOPA stance, but -7 points for the implementation.

Comment on Realtek RTL8191SEvA Wireless in Fedora by AdamD.

To be honest I don’t know, as I don’t use Aircrack. A simple Google search and quick rundown of the wiki@Aircrack didn’t bring anything up. My assumption would be you can, but then again you may run into an issue with dropped packets due to flooding.

I really don’t know, you’ll just have to try and see.

Also, if you’re using the latest Ubuntu, this driver is probably already included in the kernel, if it’s >3.0.

A huge thanks for the example. All around were only snippets so you tarball was very welcome.

For information it lasted me around 6 hours to convert a simple C flex-bison to C++.

Comment on Gnome Shell 3.2 and Multiple Monitors by AdamD.

I’m not 100% familiar with that, being mainly a Fedora user, but it seems that’s for gnome-shell-testing. As with anything in a sort of -testing type environment, certain things are bound to be broken at any given moment in time.

Perhaps wait a bit, then do your updates and see if it is fixed. If not, you may want to hunt down and file a bug at the appropriate bugtracker for that PPA.
