[ghemical-users] Ubuntu usability

[Victor Manuel Rosas-Garcia]

Hello Andreas,

I use Ghemical under Ubuntu, and I had a similar problem with the white screen when I tried to run Ghemical while Compiz was running.  Once I disabled Compiz, the problem went away (I had to lose the rotating cube :| hmph.) and now I can use Ghemical without any problems.

Regarding the problem over Samba, I cannot help you there.  I have no experience with Samba.

Have a nice day!
