Hi :)

Desktop is here for now:

http://www.alazanto.org/wrvisuals/screenshots/sgstriped.jpg

Running Feisty with Compiz Fusion and Avant Window Navigator. The fonts have been tweaked with the sub-pixel rendering update in freetype.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343670

Theme is Fawn (tweaked menu bar) and Reuben with the buuf icons and several png dock icons from deviantart.

My modification of Fawn is attached...this version is identical to the publicly available one, but the menus have a brown background. This will not look right without the gtk mac menu hack.

Also employing the mac menu hack. In firefox I installed the hide menu bar add-on to keep things somewhat consistent.

I would kill to have these desktops! I have been trying for about 3 days if not more like 5 hours or more each day trying to get this stupid Compiz crap to work. I feel like I have tried everything and I am probably going to have to wait for Gusty Gibbon :no:

Uninstall: just install the original gtk package back, or use the environment variable GTK_MENUBAR_NO_MAC=1 to temporarily disable it.

Font: Just Bitstream Vera Sans. It's a very nice font when rendered a bit truer to its form.

Making Compiz work: I ended up following this tutorial. http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/art..._ubuntu_feisty/

I'm not sure if I could be of much help to you, but the main hiccup I ran into was in not having the latest nvidia driver. Envy did a nice job in taking care of that part. Beyond that, I am assuming you've posted on the ubuntu forums...

    • Err more info required... Are you using the built-in VPN client? PowerShell > Batch. Either way, the script will most likely use rasdial.
    • The viewing figures in season 2 plummeted after 1 of the main characters died in season 2 episode 1. I think hbo is regretting listening to him so they got rid of him.
    • Google Workspace now lets you use custom AI Gems directly in Docs, Gmail, and more by Paul Hill Google Workspace users can now access Gems from the side panel of Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail. Previously, Gems could only be accessed from the Gemini app directly. For anyone not familiar with Gems, they’re a more advanced feature in Gemini where you can make your own chatbots, powered by Gemini, with custom instructions. If you’re interested in learning more about them, check out my editorial from April, where I argue custom AI bots are the best thing about generative AI and how to create your own bots. The decision to make Gems available across Google Workspace has the potential to significantly speed up people’s workflows if they’ve started using Gems already. If you’ve never made a Gem, Google has several pre-made ones including a Brainstormer, Writing editor, Coding partner, and Learning guide. Google Workspace users can leverage Gems in an almost infinite number of ways. For example, imagine if you’re a teacher in whatever country and you have to make lesson plans for your class that must follow a certain structure, you can use natural language to program a gem to expect certain inputs from you (such as grade, subject, topic etc) and get an output that follows the required guidelines. If you’re a journalist, you could create a gem to quickly strip out the key bits of news from a press release or if you’re a student you can create a bot to break down complicated subjects into something easier to understand. The possibilities are nearly endless and now the Gems you make are even more accessible. Google mentioned that Gems can be accessed via the side panel of all supported Workspace applications and can be used across Workspace capabilities including @ mentioning, accessing files and folders, and more. If you need to create a Gem, you’ll still need to do that on the Gemini website. To get started with Gemini in Google Workspace, just click the “Ask Gemini” (spark button) in the top-right corner. Google said that the Gems feature rollout is an extended rollout which means it might take more than 15 days to get the feature. Admins out there do not need to do anything and there are no specific admin controls in the side panel for Gems or Gemini.
    • Microsoft changes hit Teams Android devices: Disable Entra ID policy to restore sign-in by Paul Hill As part of its Secure Future Initiative, Microsoft has deployed a new Entra ID Conditional Access policy targeting Device Code Flow authentication. Unfortunately, it has led some Microsoft Teams-certified Android devices (Teams Rooms on Android, Teams Phones, Teams Panels, and Teams Displays) to be logged out and signing back in can be a bit fiddly so guidance has been shared. Microsoft said that it shared previous guidance which explained how to exclude Android devices, but it seems some admins didn’t catch this as many devices were not excluded and have been signed out. It’s important to realize that this is not a bug, it’s a security feature. However, the move could have been better communicated. To sign the devices back in, you can do so manually. However, if the devices are remote you’ll need to follow these steps: By disabling the “Block device code flow” policy in step 1, it will change everything back to how it was before Microsoft decided to enable it to boost security. This will allow you to get those affected Android devices logged back in again. Also pay special attention to step 2 which says you might need to reboot your device three times. Once you have your Android devices logged in again, it’s probably a good idea to follow Microsoft’s previous guidance and add these to an exclusion list before re-enabling the “Block device code flow” policy. Microsoft recommends only allowing DCF where it’s absolutely necessary and then blocking it elsewhere. The best thing to do is to add your Teams Android device to the exclusion list - this will allow these devices to operate normally, while boosting overall security. If you’re an admin and have been impacted by this, be sure to take proactive measures to avoid disruptions in the future.
