Hi Maurio,
Thank you for your opinion. In regard to your postulate, if my freedom

There have been some pretty specious comparisons in this thread, but having
the gall to mention slavery in the context of an online community for a

If so, where are they and how is the window placement adjusted?

I just installed Debian 8.2, 64-bit, Gnome desktop, using the netinst.iso.
Used Synaptic to install Gufw (and ufw as dependency). Ufw works fine.
But gufw does not show in the application menu or in the favories menu of
Gnome. The only way to run it seems to be in Gnome terminal (non-log

the pointer to /usr/lib/systemd/system/shadow.service. I was
assuming that it might be something that runs on startup and then goes
away. But, you know what happens when you "assume".
Thanks again.

Hello!
I was investigating this boot up error message :
"failed to start verify of integrity of password and group files"
It turned out to be due (apparently) to a faulty (re)installation of
mariadb, which I seem to have fixed. Fine.
But in the process, I came across this in my system:

Well, it's on a laptop, so there's no (external) data cable involved. And
the resolution seems to be set correctly at maximum, 1366 x 768, IIRC.
And the display doesn't look defective or mis-calibrated, just more like
1995 than 2015. I think it just lame fonts in XFCE, not the physical
display.

It's a little technical, but it does work. I have had the Brasero program
do bad cd/dvd burns, that were not obvious, even after more than one
attempt, and then lie to me about it.
This does the job. It's a hassle
Try bittorrent.
Really. Try it.

been reported in Arch as late as 2015-06-02. The rest is over my head.

Hi.
I am running Firefox 38.0.5-1 from the arch "Extra" repository. As up to
date as I can get - I am obsessive about updating.
This display problem started as soon as I installed the system. Of course,
I almost immediately installed firefox-noscript upon install also.

Using Firefox to access http://cnn.com, photos show up, but often have a
superimposed small, hollow rectangle in the center of each. The rectangles
contain the characters "FI" above the characters "33".
Is this a sign of some missing component from Firefox, or just an error at
the cnn.com website
Does anyone here have any inside information on what is happening (or not
happening) with the Devuan project?
It seems to be dead, or at least dying.
I am (more than) starting to think the whole thing was just a sick, sleazy
hoax/disinformation campaign by you-know-who to confuse and disillusion
Well, too late now! Guess I'll just fight with testing, until it breaks.
Or Devuan gets released (Hurry!!)
