May 17	comment	Experiencing problems with KDE after an upgrade I often have problems after a major upgrades of KDE. Unfortunately this usually means moving `~/.kde4` (or wherever gentoo is putting it these days to `~/.kde4.bak` and then logging back in. KDE basically sucks at migrating configs. You can then pick and choose a few configs to mv back such as ktorrent, konsole, konversation. (note: first login will take some time as it rewrites everything but things should be better on a 2nd login)
Mar 12	comment	How to use xscreensaver's screensavers in kscreensaver probably impossible always, but definitely impossible 4.10+ which has a new screensaver application.
Nov 26	comment	manage unix user settings across multiple machines they are not on the same network, clarified that in my question. rsync really doesn't help the problem of dealing with discrepancies between software versions.
Nov 21	comment	Can I create override dns similar to writing in /etc/hosts without root access really this should be like +10k, unfortunately I can only give you +1
Nov 21	comment	Completely disable GNOME for my user in Ubuntu doesn't really seem like this is going to help with things like guake and the gnome search stuff auto starting
Nov 8	comment	Login screen reappears after login also `/var/log/Xorg.1.log`
Oct 23	comment	Mouse drifts when dragging in Linux Mint KDE on VMWare Fusion the mouse drifts? or the windows? because there is a window setting that snaps to grid. mouse drift seems odd, but window drift not so much.
Oct 9	comment	I specifically want to delete my grep output string from the text file @MichaelMrozek that's cool
Oct 9	comment	I specifically want to delete my grep output string from the text file yes I know I brought it up. Don't ask me where.
Oct 9	comment	I specifically want to delete my grep output string from the text file @sehe note SU is not Unix, and it is appropriate but cross posting is frowned upon. we really don't need people posting a verbatim copy of the same question on SO, SU, SF, AU, and U&L (within 10 minutes) just so they can get points or a faster answer. I didn't vote to close offtopic because it's technically? not. I think there ought to be rules about crossposting and flag as cross site duplicate... but it's a pipe dream.
Oct 9	comment	I specifically want to delete my grep output string from the text file @Clayton please don't cross post, as a Unix SE moderator I'm requesting this be closed here and moved there.
Oct 8	comment	What happens when you delete a hard link? this is true, but not a complete picture
Oct 8	comment	What happens when you delete a hard link? This is not correct.
Oct 4	comment	no root shell freely available sudoers policies well this is why I was asking if there are any downloadable policies... obviously publicly audited tools/policies are more secure than me or someone just coming up with them myself.
Oct 3	comment	no root shell freely available sudoers policies essentially, though more comprehensive
Sep 23	comment	Is it possible to filter duplicate lines from syslog? as @ire_and_curses mentions these messages can be filtered by your logger, but in order to get instructions on how to do that we need to know which logger (or distro if you don't know which logger)
Sep 19	comment	Is it possible to make KDE 4 look like Win98? updated my answer with a suggestion for different themes
Sep 19	comment	Is it possible to make KDE 4 look like Win98? that text looks off, you'll note in my screenshots the text is a little darker... and the background a little lighter, I wonder if fedora modified it.
Aug 24	comment	How do I achieve higher resolution than physical resolution of an LCD? KDE has a way of zooming out... that does something like what you're describing. Though generally you don't do much more than select windows at that level. But I'd say it's possible.
Jul 21	comment	Open Source Politics: How is it produced? Decisions, power and gender in addition to what @gilles has said, this site is not about open source it is about as he says unix and unix like systems. There is, in fact, open source software that does not run on unix.
