Delay in Gnome Panel Drawers

I've been dealing with this annoying bug in Gnome: Panel drawers take 3 seconds to open. This bug is tracked here.

I've found a small help to this bug here:
I found a setting in gconf-editor, but I was only able to set the animation speed to "fast". if I completely disabled animations, the drawer would appear over the top panel, instead of the bottom right where its supposed to be.

To change the speed, open gconf-editor, navigate to apps->panel->toplevels->panel_0

there you can change the key for animation to fast.

(your draw may have a different name, depending on your added panel elements - I think O_o )

Hope that helps.

Black Cursors on Win7/2008 R2 Using rdesktop for Ubuntu 10.04

I recently setup a Win 2008 R2 VM and proceeded to remote connect to it from Ubuntu 10.04. Everything worked perfectly except the mouse cursors were black (and some were corrupt). Solution? Use a newer version of rdesktop that doesn't ship with Ubuntu. There is a handy PPA that can be added using the following command: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ricolai/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install rdesktop [UPDATE] It appears ricolai may have removed the package from his PPA. To remedy the situation, I've uploaded the working binaries for x64. Sorry, I don't have the x86 any longer. More information on the bug can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rdesktop/+bug/385974?comments=all

Long Time, No Write

It's been a loooong time since I last wrote. The past several years have seen a huge shift in my career and technical objectives. I've gone from working almost exclusively on code to selling software as a technical sales engineer to now managing a team of technical gurus doing sales worldwide. As a result, my time for tinkering has slowed considerably. I do want to update everyone by saying that I am now back to Linux after many years stuck in a Windows world for work. My current employer is focused on open source technology and as such encourages us to use Linux and other open source tools in any way we can. I am now the proud owner of a Dell Laptop that has dual-boot setup for Windows and Ubuntu 18.04. I'll try to write up a post here in the next bit about my experiences so far, but my quick and dirty summary is that you should definitely give it a shot. There are a few hiccups to overcome, but, for the most part, it's been really nice transitioning back. Until ...
