Hi
I'm trying to get skype sound to work but apparently the monkeys at MS removed
alsa support and replaced it with pulse, which is rubbish. Even though I have
pulse enable (pclos - ali's remaster), it still doesn't show up. Is there a
fix to re-enable alsa or the like?

Thanks to Slávek, I've just had the least-painful system upgrade in the
(heavens! can it be?) 20 years I've run Linux exclusively. It wasn't
totally trouble-free, but it was less awful than I usually encounter.
But now I'm encountering a problem that is annoying: menus in Firefox and
some other applications are reversed, white text on black background.
Any quick and easy fix? Am running 14.04 on Ubuntu 14.04 (and preparing to
revel in the new features everyone else has had for three years . . .).
Thanks again.

well. in kcontrol > Appearance & Themes > GTK Styles and Fonts it's
possible to employ different themes for GTK2 and GTK3 applications, and
this fixes the menu color problem.
What I haven't been able to fix is the tiny fonts problem in TDE
applications. Additionally, my cursor, in all its variants, has become
*huge.*
Very strange indeed. And it came about from first unchecking and then
rechecking Appearance & Themes > Colors > Apply colors to non-TDE
applications.
How can this be?

greetings . . .
i've about concluded that i absolutely must upgrade my linux/tde install.
i'm currently running 14.04 atop ubuntu 1204-LTS, which is at its end.
hypothetically i should be able to do use ubuntu's system upgrade tool and
all would be well in moving me from 1204 to 1404; i would not have to
reinstall everything from scratch. but no. it throws this error:
[quote]
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
[/quote]
looking in /var/log/dist-upgrade, i find this error:
[quote
ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'kubuntu-desktop-trinity' is marked
for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'
[/quote]
for some reason i must have added it to that blacklist, but truth be known
i do not remember having done so or even the existence of such a
blacklist, never mind how to add or delete something to or from it.
so, am wondering if there is a way around this that wouldn't (as it appears
would happen here anyway) nuke my TDE install.
am i missing something obvious? do i want to d/l and install a TDE image
and, if so, can i do an upgrade (rather than wipe and reinstall) from
that?
thanks in advance

greets!
yrs ago I thought BIOS was mysterious; I didn't anticipate UEFI!
was travelling, my SSD collapsed - dead - and I had to get another and
get Linux installed fast. put Kubuntu on; back home added tde.
I just resized the partition and added another ext4 with exegnu
installed but I installed the loader to the partition, fearing to
touch /boot/efi.
so there's boot/efi on sda1, kubuntu on sda2 and exegnu on sda3.
there's some crap in my efi because of other misadventures but the
important thing now is I can boot into kubuntu, what do I do so I can
put into exegnu also?
is it simply a matter of grub-install? other magic?
my ultimate goal is to remove kubuntu and install Windows 7 with
exegnu as the default boot.

Dear all,
I have recently set up KMail to fetch a GMail account over IMAP protocol. However, I am
experiencing an issue that does not happen with any of my other IMAP accounts. Very often when I
fetch new email and mark it as read locally, the next time emails are fetched this mail is
locally marked as unread, instead of being marked as read on the server. Is any of you
experiencing similar issues with GMail? Is this just a matter of setting appropriate options in
GMail and, if so, which ones?

Was 5760x1024 (3 "HD" displays). New W/S is 5120x1440 on two displays.
LOVE the resolution ... but ... my eyes are old (they saw Armstrong
and Aldrin walk on the Moon on live TV when they were younger, for
instance) ... so how do I, in one step (I hope!) make everything on my
displays bigger? Is that even doable? It is in that Microsoft OS
(you select a percentage above or below 100% and everything gets
scaled).
