Hey cheesemaker, good to see you here. I don't post often, but view other's post quite often

Linux Mint 11 had FF 5.0 in its updates a few days ago. No problems with it here, so far!

GNOME 3 vs. Unity: A Schism in the Making?

Well, this is going to be interesting. I currently use 10.04 LTS (with Gnome) on my netbook. I looked at 10.04 Netbook Remix (using Unity, if I understand correctly), but I wasn't impressed at the time. On the other hand, I haven't seen the new Gnome 3.

No need for me to change yet, and by the time I have to I'll have a better idea of what's up.

Hi cheesemaker, good to see you here, and hi to you also ravis.

I'm currently using Ubuntu 11.04 myself with the Gnome desktop environment ( gotta' have my Compiz toys! ). I'm also using FF 5 with no problems at all. I've been meaning to try Mint 11 on a partition somewhere, but I'm leary of Gnome3. I took a look at it while it was in beta and didn't care much for it.

Anyhow, I hope to see the two of you posting here a lot. All your information has surely helped me a lot in the past.

Well as I just came into Linux, I would need to say at this point, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. That is the one I have on my machine right now.

I have run into my first glitch if you will. Last night I had no trouble setting up Yahoo chat through Empathy. Now when I try to connect to it, I get the message, unlock login keyring. Apparently my passwords caused a hitch in the git-a-long or something. Either that or I need to do something in Yahoo to allow the connection.

What do you suggest? I could just remove the thing and go directly into Yahoo and use the integrated chat in the email area.

Cast

cast, do you have ubuntu 10.04 set to auto log you in. if so that could be the problem. when i set ubuntu to login without first entering a passward. i get the error message you mentioned. sometimes it takes awhile to receive./cheesemaker

BleachBit 0.8.8 released and installation instructions included

No. I do not allow auto login on anything. If it has a password, you have to put the password in. I have different passwords for everything. Nothing is ever the same and I mark on the cards I have off system a date to change the passwords. I learned that lesson a long time ago. I think the problem is coming from Yahoo. They recently did an update/upgrade and even the email and the groups have changed. Not a big problem, as I can go to yahoo and open a messenger chat in my email to visit with people and family. I was just hoping to be lazy and chat without having to go the the Yahoo site. That's what I get for trying to be a slacker. Vacations have a way of doing that to a person.

this a great program been using it for years. the install instructions are for 10.04 but will work for any ubuntu version you are running
