That guy is wrong. It can be prevented or treated in some people, but not all people. I know people who were born with Type 1, I know professional cyclists who were not only born with it but live with it & race their bicycles & are some of the healthiest people on this planet. That guys research is BS. But hey, he is a "non-profit". Interesting how that page is updated every few days to keep it relevant in page rankings I guess. Anyways, he says regular diet & exercise, blah blah.

Wait, I believe those guys exercise big time, I mean hell they ride 100+ miles per day on a bicycle in just a few hours of time. I guess they don't diet & exercise enough.

Hello there, I saw this post on the Planet KDE newsfeed.

My question to you is why should I donate money to "stop diabetes" when this guy over here [http://nutritionfacts.org/t...], a non-profit public service researcher, says that diabetes can already be "prevented, treated and cured"? And that the solutions are simple, understandable, and are reproducible?

Nixternal, how I miss ya. Every time I set up dropbox, I'm back here following your clear instructions. And I'm here to say, it works like a charm in Vivid beta. Thanks!

THANK YOU. Invaluable information (and so clearly written) for a noob who just wiped an entire chroot environment with an ill-timed sudo command.

Well, it _used_ to work well. Now I just install Dropbox directly, which is just as easy:

THIS was the best and easiest dropbox installation tutorial i found online. I'm a total Linux and Kubuntu newbie and the step-by-step guidance was super helpful (althought I know Windows and Mac pretty good) And it still works today. Thanks a lot!

I'm sorry but I don't see the point of this article. The Dropbox .deb package works perfectly on Kubuntu and most other distros on KDE.

Dropbox devs preffer GNOME/Nautilus. But that's not a dependency. You don't need all this hassle. Just install Dropbox the normal way. it works out of the box.

I've been doing it like this since I've started using Dropbox on KDE (around 2-3 years ago) .

Simple. Don't have nautilus installed.

This is one of the best and accurate tutor I have seen which guides in installing dropbox. The tutor is still valid in Aug 2013. Thank you for sharing it.

I'm new to KDE (Kubuntu) and am impressed by your thoroughness -- thanks! Loving this over Unity and LXDE.

I have stopped working on kfilebox after some updates in dropbox. Shortly: there is no way to get recent changed files, no more access to config options, cant configure it.

I cannot stand Windoze Ate my computer. Just bought brand new Toshiba i3 with 16GB RAM (gunna upgrade to i5 quad mobile next Fall ;) and it came with Win 8. It barely ran. The touchpad was always working after a clean re-install, but only worked for about a day, forcing me to use an external mouse. This is in the first of week of purchase!

I installed Kubuntu on about half the HDD and loved the look, but the wireless would not function; had to lug in to get internet. Eventually, W8 got so frustrating with the accidental opening of files and having to switch from the goofy tablet interface to the desktop and the mouse issues - I decided to just wipe it out and take a gamble on Kubuntu, vowing to solve the wireless problem by learning the command line., which is knowledge I want anyway, so what better way than just to dive straight in, right?

So I did the wipe out install and ended up not having to deal with the wireless problem because with W8 gone, it suddenly worked! It doesn't work as well at my school's public unsecured network, though; it drops out and I have to restart every 15-30 minutes. Still trying to find a fix for that.

My point is, I'm glad W8 works for you, but my Toy-shiba is lightening faster than it was with W8, and I am so in love with the exploration of the whole thing. :)

Cheers!

As for the powersaving problems - in my case (SONY VAIO VPCZ23A4R) they were indeed caused mostly by the Intel wireless network adapter not using the power-saving options by default. Solved by adding this line to /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

options iwlwifi power_save=1 power_level=3

Higher power-saving levels (4 and 5) unfortunately lead to packet corruption, so don't enable them.

And here is a line for the video driver:

options i915 i915_enable_rc6=7

After that, I have 5.5 hours of battery life out of 7 promised, with medium screen brightness and working wi-fi.
