Brand New Hard Drive

I picked up the replacement hard drive this afternoon at PCdepot. I
bought a 40 GB Intel SSD for 4,350.00.

The Ubuntu 12.04 installation went very well and took only 15 minutes
from boot to opening the desktop for updates. I created a separate Home
directory. I chose to encrypt the Home directory this time. I figured
I'm going to stay with this setup for a very long time this time.

I decided to split the 40 GB Intel SSD into two equal parts for Ubuntu
and Arch. I haven't installed Arch yet. I'll do it tomorrow.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.
