2013-12-23 Thread Jonathan Stewart
Hi, IDN is not optional on the internet today. The IANA is publishing several IDN top level domains: http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db As it currently stands, I am having a difficult time using Ubuntu as a professional internet operator at an ISP, because my only choice is hacks like this: re

I'm also seeing this an AMD64, on two different machines. 13.04. Happens shortly after login, often when you're launching a program like firefox, but that's not required--the bug is triggered without that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is su

I can also confirm this bug on Ubuntu 9.04 on a PII-450 with a Voodoo 3. I can login to a normal X session, but scrolling an image causes a crash, and in general X is very unstable, with GDM crashing a lot. The workaround, as mentioned above, is to set: Option "NoAccel" "true" in the "Device" se

I want to chime in with my experience. I have 2 machines, one 8.10, one 8.04.1. I have the same problem on both machines. On both of them, I have DHCP working on eth0, and a static alias on eth0:0. They are connected via an ethernet switch. When I start networking, Internet Systems Consortium DH

I want to get to the bottom of this problem, for it has just struck again on my parents' two Ubuntu machines. Here is the summary of the problem, as I currently see it. 1) OpenOffice.org relies on myspell for spell-checking service 2) myspell needs dictionary files for each language-country combin
