I like Dolphin, but it has gone downhill on my current Arch install after 5 months of use.
2 big issues, maybe interrelated:
1. Directory views are frequently not longer "synced" after file operations. I have to use F5 to reload the tab before it displays the actual current contents. Files used to appear as they were copied or vanish as they were deleted, but that only happens sometimes now.
2. Certain directories with file previews turned on get "stuck" attempted to populate all the thumbnails, causing one CPU to be pegged at 100% until I navigate to a different directory in that tab.
Is there a way to delete Dolphin's internal database and start anew? I suppose deleting everything in ~/.config/dolphin would work, but I wanted to know if there is a more elegant solution.
My issue with this approach is that all this stuff needs to be loaded into RAM, and isn't that exactly the sort of thing portables are lacking compared to a dev workstation?
Arch is all about vanilla packages. I installed Arch/KDE in February and Activities were in the default panel, whereas the Virtual Desktop Pager was not...
I thought this was blatantly obvious, but others apparently did not... or maybe people really do just come to this site for political yelling matches these days.
I find it quite boring. Once you've read one of these threads, you've read them all.
My car gets 60 mpg going UPhill. (It's a 2-door honda insight.) 90mpg on the long flat interstate.
Sure. Just like that Mac you bought in 2004 had a 400MHz processor.
"The 2000 Insight ranks as the most efficient United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified gasoline-fueled vehicle ever, with a highway rating of 61 miles per US gallon (3.9 L/100 km; 73 mpg-imp) and combined city/highway rating of 53 miles per US gallon (4.4 L/100 km; 64 mpg-imp)".
Q for a physic-y person - The earth orbits around the sun's equator, but its own equator is at an angle to the sun-planet plane (hence, seasons). Does the moon, then orbit around earth's equator (at an angle to the sun), or in the same plane as the sun's equator (or some other plane entirely)?
Along with the above answer to your question, I will also mention that Luna is the only sizable moon in the entire Solar System whose orbit is more closely aligned to the ecliptic than to the parent planet's equator.
And there is something comforting about playing a game that has changed very little for the better part of a millennium.
I don't fully agree with that... computers have done a great deal to expand the realm of chess theory, and I expect to see chess become a "solved" game during my lifetime.
It's already the case that even a low-powered computer system can play at the Grandmaster level and beyond.
Chess variants will be able to increase the life of the game, but they are really something other than chess as it was 500 years ago.
He mentioned the F-15 joystick and now you are talking about fly-by-wire controls...
You do know the joystick steering in an F-15 is all hydraulic/mechanical, right? The F-16 was the first to have fly-by-wire... and the original reason for fly-by-wire was the issue of constant computer input being necessary with an dynamically unstable shape, rather than any concerns about weight or complexity.

I have a shower in my basement, you insensitive clod!
Because the US doesn't use the British Imperial system? It's called the American Standard system.
This 7-digit user has been here more than long enough to know you tell a lot of tall tales.
Being banned from /. is indeed possible, however. Just ask Ethanol-fueled.
WASD directionals don't work too well on Dvorak... :/
Registration was open for about 24 hours just before they got DDoSed.
If you intend to use the LTS released for actual long term support, I recommend against doing this.
If you want something closer to the edge, you should use Debian Unstable, Arch, etc.
I always laugh at the guys on ubuntu forums asking about how to install the current kernel on their 10.04 box...

That was just about the first thing I "fixed". :)
I'm amused that you think that a corporately sponsored version of the Olympics would be better.
That is exactly what we have already. Google for the "olympics brand police" and let the eyerolling begin!
Many users manage to make use of Windows Explorer despite the fact that few of them seem to know the actual program name.
Even more interesting when they don't see the obvious analogy with the naming of Internet Explorer vs WIndows Explorer.
That doesn't matter for all of us already sitting at the karma cap.
Still waiting for /. to release an expansion so I can level up past "Excellent".
Blame Twitter.
Scratch an US libertarian...
roman_mir is (apparantly) from Russia.
Where I live, you're allowed to drive faster than the speed limit when overtaking another vehicle. Is that true in the USA too?
No, it is still illegal. Everyone does it in practice, of course.
Successful troll is successful.

What are you trying to imply, AC? Tastecicles is very classy.
P.S. I heard adult film producer's wife has big tits!
sincerely, :D

Have they unbanned you yet bro?
This also addresses the fact that the dedicated box surely has a more reliable connection than the phone does.
Missing a notification of a that a script ran is much preferable to the script not running at all.
Compile kernels? Add extra repos just for XFCE?
Maybe you should actually try using Ubuntu sometime before commenting about how it works.

Conflation of stealing and copying is deliberate propaganda by those who believe in imaginary property.
Corporate doublespeak and nothing more.
