@matigo 40 OoO messages from the same person suggests your mail servers aren't configured properly. O.o
My boss strongly suggested we all stop using OoO messages unless we are out for an extended period of time (e.g. on leave). Now if we can just get the rest of the company to do that :P
@matigo Download Managers are blocked on my kids computers. Had to adjust that in the firewall.
This points to why Linux on the Desktop is a non-starter for muggles. The default applications app in Ubuntu didn't show Google Chrome, so I tried downloading the .deb file to install. The GUI tried to install but failed because dependencies. No errors to show that, but when I tried doing it via the CLI, it told me that was the reason.
apt-get was also failing with a cryptic message as well. Ended up Googling for a debug command on the CLI, which when I ran it, told me exactly what was happening (my firewall was blocking access to apt-get).
Granted, this entire thing was caused by something I did, but if something fails, and you're using the GUI, the system should indicate as such and provide enough details to figure out what's going on. >_<
I guess I never thought of apt-get as a Download Manager, but my firewall apparently does. Time to whitelist that :P
@matigo At least Apple's OS is based on Unix. Will agree that HFS+ is just icky. :P
Finally repurposing my daughter's old computer as an Ubuntu workstation. Amazing how much better old hardware works when you install something that doesn't come from Microsoft.
@kdfrawg after two years, I get that. Seems like my kids average one every two months, though.
