ffi Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) Taking Ubuntu for a spin... still feels weird to be using Gnome. Hey Foz de Iguacu, right? I once got lost in the jungle over there, after I decided to leave the trail. I wondered through the jungle for hours and finally found the river and had to climb down 30m and then walk to the falls for several kilometres (climbing through many smaller and bigger falls My desktop, did change from last month, so look over in last months thread.

Reiver_Fluffi Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Unfortunately I left me gnome session unlocked, my missus took advantage of this and vandalised my desktop........

ianw1974 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I just killed my desktop system with a BIOS update to a motherboard I just got friday :( Did that to my wife's computer, had to buy a new motherboard, processor, memory and video card (the new board didn't have built-in video like the old one). Ah well, good excuse for an upgrade ;) Unfortunately I left me gnome session unlocked, my missus took advantage of this and vandalised my desktop........ Nice :P I have a habit of always locking my desktop now. After working in London, my colleagues used to take advantage of unlocked systems and send emails to your boss/whoever and say you loved them. Was funny, but everyone knew when such email arrived it was from a compromised system :-) That and we used to put sellotape on the bottom of mouses so the ball didn't work. Or re-arrange the letters on the keyboard so they couldn't find the letters. Moving the Z and the X about was enough to confuse people. Or find a word that contains one of each letter, and spell it out on the keyboard re-arranging the letters. Like "Linux" or something more naughty :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yeah, that was a good one. I remembered trying to implement that one, but it was too late and everyone had their machines locked :P I found a website with loads of tips of things for office pranks. Was pretty cool.

neddie Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 If you need tips for setup eyecandy (or other things), I'll gladly help.Just a quick tip for me, please! Is it possible / easy to add the wobbly windows to (K)ubuntu? Do I need Aiglx / Xgl / Compiz / Quinnstorm / Beryl / something else, and if so is it easy to add? I'm test-driving Kubuntu Edgy which didn't seem to come with the 3d stuff as standard like Mandriva 2007 does. Any help or a pointer would be great!
