Probably will be back up shortly but I would assume that there will be delays today.

I'm a bit stuck and was hoping someone here would have an idea. I have recently updated to Linux Mint 18 which is great but has a problem with MDM in that autologin no longer works.

So I installed Lightdm and now cannot login, I also cannot switch to a try to fix this and cannot login as guest because I (cleverly) disabled guest login because I didn't want to use it.

I'm about to go and try to fix this with a live USB and chroot but thought it was worth a shot posting here. At least someone might find it funny.

Edit: Worked out why I couldn't switch to ttys, turns out I'd forgotten how much Xmodmapping I'd had to do to get my keyboard working as I expected it to.

Just reinstalled Linux mint 18.1 on my MacBook Pro to try to hunt down this issue. I have been trying to fix hibernation but when I use s2disk the computer never seems to finish shutting down. When I force a reboot (so that I can use my computer again) the boot hangs at the startup screen. I can use recovery mode to boot into root but haven't been able to recover my normal login.

Would love some help. Thanks

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get my MBP to use EFI boot settings that I have setup using efibootmgr in linux mint, rather than just booting straight to Mac OS.

Thanks

I realised that I had a lot of duplicate code for running programs that I was working on in various different interpreters/compilers so I refactored it into a plugin. I'd love your thoughts. https://github.com/Cypher1/nvim-rappel

I'd plan to add proper REPL style send-to-repl bindings but at the moment I just use it to load the code into the interpreter (or to compile and run).

Location: Australia, New South Wales.

I was just sent an employment agreement to look over and sign. There is a clause covering IP and states the usual, the employer owns everything that the employee creates that is remotely related to the employers business for the term of the employment.

The issue is that the next subclause states that this also extends for after the term of the agreement and does not state a limitation on this. The agreement also waives the moral right to ownership and authorship.

I'm worried that this allows the company to take anything I ever create even after firing me and not even have to keep my name on it. What are the rules here? Can I get them to put limits on

Hoping someone else has worked out how to stop this. My OS notified me recently that an update was available. I, being connected to wifi accepted the update which began to download.

Then the wifi must have died because now I have 3GB worth of 4g usage charges...

Anyone now how to fix this? Does Google give any support for this? Cheers
