  • --break-on-reject should help.

  • Have you ever cared how much tax you pay?

    Jump

  • Me? Not really. The people I hear complaining the most are those that:

    1. have no clue where their tax dollars go.
    2. are most likely to make use of government services, and complain the loudest if those services are changed or removed.
    3. think we pay FAR more taxes than every other country (am in Canada).

  • Does that work for you on this particular link? I tried that, but it seems thestar is doing some trickery to make reader view not work.

  • If you can, try deleting all the partitions and re-create them using GPT instead of DOS (MBR) and see if it then shows the same. Also agree that you should make your boot partition 1G.

  • HiDPI XFCE - use DPI, not scaling and life is good. Better than good.

    Jump

  • FYI you could always make things larger. Just use a number less than 1 in the scaling settings (I use 0.6 on my 4k tv).

  • Been enjoying Rhythmbox, what are your thoughts?

    Jump

  • I just looked up the initial release, it was in August 2001. I don't remember the first time I used it, but it was probably 20 years ago. Still remains my favourite for the reasons you mentioned.

  • Are you better off than your parents at your age?

    Jump

  • Yes and no. I probably am a bit better off than my parents, but they raised 4 kids and I raised none. My Mom was mostly stay at home (went back to work after all us kids moved out). My spouse has a good career, which is an added bonus.

  • If I was a Health Care CEO after Luigi and felt in fear of my life from someone else how would I hire security? What would be a good deal? And does security act like the Secret Service to take a bulle

    Jump

  • Maybe just be a better person and forget the extra security?

  • What keeps me from closing up my Facebook account

    Jump

  • Trouble with easyeffects

    Jump

  • I have not seen any problems (installed via pacman). However, I only use the EQ, and save presets for different speakers/headphones. I have not tried installing any other effects. Also, there was a new release just today (7.2.0-1) that might help.
