I have been using Github Atom quite a bit. The more I work in it, the more I feel the need to tweak it. Not out of boredom, but rather that some of its usability is actually annoying. One of the things I just was able to adjust to my satisfaction is the vertical scrollbars while using the One Dark theme. On a Linux Mint install, Atom's scrollbars were frustratingly difficult to use. It is not a problem when you're working with smaller text files, but if you work in large ones you will find yourself spending inordinate amounts of time trying to grab the scrollbar with the mouse. Here is a hacked together styles.less (On Linux: Edit menu > Open Your Stylesheet... On Windows: File > Stylesheet...) CSS that will widen the scrollbars in both the tree view and editor with a well contrasted green-on-black color combo. As for a decently readable dark contrast syntax, you could try the Dark Plus ( dark-plus-syntax ) theme, which is neither too dark nor bright for editing H

I have Synology's Mail Server enabled and running, but I couldn't find it in /usr/syno/mailstation like some other blog posts mention.  It turns out that in upgraded versions of DiskStation (I'm currently on DSM 5.2), the directory paths have changed.  In fact there appear to be no recognizable package names in /usr/syno. It looks like they moved it into /usr/syno/etc after I ran some find commands.  Try this path:  /usr/syno/etc/packages/MailServer DiskStation> pwd /usr/syno/etc/packages/MailServer DiskStation> ll drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 25 08:08 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Apr 13 15:33 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 12 2014 OldConf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6144 Apr 8 2015 alias.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3072 May 9 14:56 attachment_filter.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11264 May 25 08:08 log_statistic.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1079 May 2

After installing some alternate window managers and playing around, Linux Mint 17 would freeze or get stuck during the bootup sequence. It looked scary: Anachron... Starting Samba... Stopping Samba... Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the Linux kernel or anything like that, just that the window manager wasn't able to display. These are some hotkeys that might help you get to the console shell. F1 toggles between the Linux splash / loading icon and the console log Ctrl-Alt-F1 through Ctrl-Alt-F6 bring up the terminals (tty1-tty6) Ctrl-Alt-F7 is specifically for the GUI / X session I found some messages like: "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds", and the following in .xsession-errors: /etc/mdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... localuser:user being added to access control list Script for none started at run_im.
