Hi,
I'm new to this list, I joined it because I saw in the archive that
recently you were discussing the problem with running fsck on boot as a
'just in case' filesystem check. I joined the list because I'm the author
of AutoFsck, the script you discussed which effectively moves fsck to
shutdown

"Press enter within 10 seconds to skip"), or would they be able to cancel it
at any point?
Personally, I think having the check at boot is inconvenient, even if it can
be skipped, but what do others think?

If it was moved to shutdown, I would assume that the user would be able to
skip it, or better yet they would be prompted.
I have been contacted by autofsck users who have turned off a laptop and
then closed the lid immediately (or turned off a desktop and immediately
switched off the monitor) and
To try to answer the question of whether we could simply disable the
periodic fsck, I decided to ask Mingming Cao, one of the developers
who has worked on ext3 and later, ext4. I just got the following:

I think it's used widely. And if I think it is, and you think it isn't,
then sensible conclusion to draw is that in some circles it's used widely,
in others it's not. so overall it's used quite a bit. I have to say I don't

That looks good. If we had something like this, could we dispose of the
standard trash and just have this?

Definitely. Sometimes it doesn't even show up, it's a bit random.

Agreed. I don't know why gparted was abandoned, it provided a more user
friendly way to do things. I like the proposal here too!

I'm quite new to this list, but I think it's great. The people here seem to
accurately reflect the users opinions and ideas, and are knowledgeable
enough to discuss and understand software issues, and to contemplate new
features and fixes for the future. There are plenty of lists and forum

KDEnlive is great, but it has two problems (for us). Firstly, it's a KDE
app, and so doesn't integrate as well as it could into Gnome (having said
that, neither does Open Movie Editor). Secondly, it tends to crash quite a
lot at the moment. Despite those drawbacks, it is the best armature video

Doesn't xorg hold some keybindings? I thought Ctrl+Alt+Backspace worked to

One thing we really do need is a way to easily make new keybindings. The
