I’ve been very busy with life and work in general and I haven’t blogged for a few months now. I finally get the chance to talk about something I worked on in my spare time. I use Cryptkeeper to decrypt and mount some encrypted directories that I have in my Ubuntu One space but I […]
If you were affected by this bug in the ATI installer on Ubuntu 64bit, the new release of Envy Legacy (envy_0.9.10-0ubuntu8) fixes it. EDIT: please try envy_0.9.10-0ubuntu9 instead
First of all I would like to thank all the ones who contributed to EnvyNG with their icons and logos. You all did an amazing work. I received many works and they were simply beautiful, therefore it was very hard for me to choose only one. My choice is based on my (questionable) personal taste […]
