Makes sense. So it's "fool" proof then. I *was* in a hurry when I installed Debian because I had to get some serious work done, pronto. Fool-ish. No matter, I'll do another fresh install. It's good practice to re-install my entire tool chain, from gcc on up. You see, I formerly had Ubuntu 12.04 on both machines. Then I upgraded to 12.10, and then 13.10, and everything started going haywire. Gnome Classic was hosed, with nothing showing on the top panel or the task bar. Gnome 3 had some problems too. So I had to use Unity. Then suddenly on Sunday evening all the terminal fonts went to hell, looking all blocky and weirdly spaced. With entropy hounding me on every side, I scrambled for a fresh install of a sane operating system, namely Debian, and I left Ubuntu 13's insanity and ad-ware behind. So far so good. I've always used Gnome Classic, but now I'm forcing myself to use Gnome 3, because Gnome Classic is looking a wee bit abandoned. I miss the task bar, but I've got to get over it. -- Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
