Re: unbelievable whats on manjaro website!

All strange behaviours I experienced from bootdisk/rootdisk-0.11-days to now were PEBCAK (HIT SHAPPENS!) or "normal" misbehaviour of hardware or software.
May it stay that way.

Posted at 21:14 local time. Post shows 20:25. That's 49 minutes. Maybe I mathed wrong in the earlier post or maybe gravity is fluctuating.

Re: Lower case dirs in home

The config in /etc won't be overwritten, if you don't request overwriting while updating.

Re: Lower case dirs in home

I edited /etc/xdg/user-dirs.* like I want... i think this file is owned by the package, so it will get overwritten on updates. I heavily doubt this. And no package should own stuff in users' home dirs. $ grep ^/home /var/lib/dpkg/info/*list /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.list:/home That really is al...

Re: Lower case dirs in home

SHOULD... :)
I've seen software hard coding these directory names (in English).

Re: Debian Buster release to partially drop non-systemd supp

Many of us knew this day would come. The lock-in is nearly complete. Debian really knows how to scare away old friends. :-( I'm using Debian since some 0.9ish version that did not even have a toystory name but systemd was one step too far in the wrong direction!

Re: Buster - zfs encryption... Will it be enabled?

Re: Gnome Contacts - How to export to vcard?

Start Evolution, switch to its contacts section and look for the "Save Address Book As vCard" in the File menu.

Gnome-Contacts (I saw that for the 1st time today because of your question) seems to be a totally different thing than Evolution's contacts section..

The last time I tried Claws it blocked every other action while fetching mail.
Has that been made multithreaded now?
