Encountering the following error message when logging in to Ubuntu (or another Linux)?
Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user-name/.ICEauthority
I had that on my Mom's machine, and it drove us nuts. I tried every trick I could find on the Internet and a bunch more of my own.
Finally found the solution, and it was embarrassingly simple... No auto-login is allowed if you have an encrypted home folder. Makes sense, but if you forget it's encrypted and want a quicker login, you're in for trouble.

It's rather annoying that with Ubuntu GNU/Linux and Gnome desktop manager using Compiz special effects, a screenshot of only a window excludes the window border. That's now fixed!

A collection of How-Tos, software scripts, etc. mostly designed to be useful on GNU / Linux systems & servers.
Sorely neglected, but I'm trying to improve on it. I keep my doc's elsewhere and this publicly accessible and nicely formatted version seems to never get updated. For shame, I know.
