These are not limited to: blacklists, video quirks tables, built in modules, source changes that are not yet in Linus' tree or the stable queue quite yet etc.</p>\n\n<p>Source patches are what the team uses to introduce configuration options that are required to support the vast array of released software for a specific version of Ubuntu. In many cases they are necessary for those applications to work properly. The fundamental difference between this and the upstream kernel is that the pure upstream kernel is not distribution specific. </p>\n\n<p>Therefore, the configurations are not geared toward ensuring that certain applications work as expected. These configs exist to provide that level of changeability to the kernel for specific things. Additionally, the use of quirks allows us to identify hardware that requires specific things from the kernel that we can set once we detect them. </p>\n\n<p>This is one of the major features of Linux and it is one of the reasons we have been able to run on so many diverse platforms over the years. There are times when the quirks and source patches cause issues between each other. During these times, we work to mitigate the problems with changes to underlying kernel behavior. In many cases these changes don't make it upstream until after the release due in very large part to the need to properly code the fix, document what was done, test the changes and conduct various other tests and stress testing. </p>\n\n<p>In these cases, patches that are headed for upstream are carried as source patches in much the same way pre-stable and patches that are not yet in Linus' tree do. The link to the delta review spec should serve as a reference for what was reviewed for the current Natty release of the Ubuntu kernel.</p>\n",

<p>In other words, always show the appmenu of the current focused window no matter what the app window size is ( like mac osx).</p>

<p>The panel is shown in normal ubuntu and is not here. The are is outlined in the normal shadow, but the side bar and the panel are showing. However if I slide my mouse across there then the normal volume changer and the like show. Also it has infected my normal ubuntu (classic ubuntu) and the unity panel and siding are making it impossible for me to use my 2 application menus that are in the two right hand corners so I had to add one other to the mix in order to easily access my applications. This thing is getting far out of hand. Need a fix here.</p>

Now I want to play around with my old wifi equipment which I need to configure first.
But every time I plug the ethernet cable in and the link on eth0 becomes ready Ubuntu disconnects my WLAN connection. Which is extremely annoying as I can't surf as along as I'm connected via (cable) ethernet.
Or generally speaking: As long as I'm connected with a network from the "wired" tab.</p>
<p>I already checked "Available to all users" for my WLAN and Wired network so that they are available when I log in. But this doesn't affect the problem mentioned above.</p>
<p>Do I need to get rid of the NetworkManager to be able to stay connected to my WLAN and Wired network at the same time?
(They don't share the same network address pool. WLAN is static IP, Wired is DHCP with differenct IP network.)</p>

<p>I'm using ubuntu right now and I think it's really good. Really. But I'm wondering about viruses.

Linux (and Ubuntu) is good for many reasons, but this has nothing to do with viruses.</p>\n\n<p>However, running Ubuntu or Linux in general lets you be statistically <em>less prone</em> to get infected by viruses. Ubuntu encourages users to choose official repositories as the main source of software (which are safe), and running an executable by double-click is less easy than in Windows.</p>\n\n<p>But you can still get into a website that asks you to add a <strong>poisoning repository</strong>, or to install a <strong>malicious .deb</strong> (with double-click) to add some awesome functionality Ubuntu is missing.</p>\n\n<p>So viruses are a problem <strong>because of the user</strong>, not because of the system (which in most cases is an innocent victim), even if in some old Windows systems (95, 98, ME but also old versions of XP) one could get a virus without doing anything unsafe, just through some vulnerability of the system.

Linux has no viruses until you create one, which can be done in minutes, assuming you can convince the victim that it is safe to execute it.</p>\n",

37239 | 1 | null | 2011-04-27T04:51:24.703 | 4 | 1918 | <p>I've added battery-status to the indicator applet, but I am having trouble removing the original battery applet (stuck on "estimating"), and I currently have two battery icons in the indicator applet. Going through the preferences of the original power applet, there is an option to never show the icon, but that options makes both icons disappear and leaves an empty space in the indicator applet, which acts like battery-status, that is its fully functional, but lacks the battery picture. </p>
<p>This website:
<a href="http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/battery-applet-status-ubuntu/" rel="nofollow">http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/battery-applet-status-ubuntu/</a></p>
<p>claims that when I add battery-status to the indicator, I should be prompted to replace the original indicator but no such prompt appeared.</p>
<p>I also removed gnome-power-manager=1 from /usr/share/indicator-application/ordering-override.keyfile but that changed nothing (What exactly does removing that line even do, for curiosity's sake?)</p>
<p>The answer posted by Madhava is no good. I've already mentioned that doing what you are showing me makes the icon disappear for the battery-status as well as the original battery indicator. Here is a video of this: </p>

<p>At the moment to bring up a print queue, I bring up the "Printing" application using the Dash, then go to the Printer -> View Print Queue menu. This seems a little convoluted to me, and I'd like an easier way.</p>
<p>Is there some way to go directly to the printer queue in Natty, like you used to be able to do by clicking on the printer indicator in earlier Ubuntu versions? Alternatively, can we turn the printer indicator icon back on when there are (or have recently been) queued print jobs?</p>

<p>I am getting a couple of strange graphical issues.</p>
<p>1) whenever I press the <em>super key</em>, or try to show the bottom menu I get a strange flickering, the whole screen gets munched up while it animates to show/hide.</p>
<p>2) The top bar has an awful effect: It has rainbow coloured stripes.
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Wyns1.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>3) Some of the tooltips and dropdowns (not all of them, and its not application specific) are horribly skewed, They will have a massive angle on the text and the extreme right of the tooltip is cut off and appears on the extreme left of the tooltip.</p>
<p>How can I fix these?</p>

<p>Drag media file onto Totem's playlist to enqueue</p>
<h2>Bug in Compiz</h2>
<p>Especially for Unity (formerly Netbook Edition, being intended for small screens) this is quite a vital feature, as applications most often are run fullscreen, and dragging with the touchpad can be cumbersome.</p>
<p><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/624810">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/624810</a></p>
<p>Any hint on where to start fixing the bug? Which file/line in compiz source code?</p>
<h2>Usability background</h2>
<p>According to Fitts, Accot, and Zhai, the <strong>time required</strong> to rapidly move to a <strong>target area</strong> is a function of the <strong>distance to</strong> and the <strong>size</strong> of the target
(cf. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law">Fitts's law</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accot-Zhai_steering_law">Steering law</a>).</p>
<h3>Drag'n'Drop <em>without</em> Alt-Tab across fullscreen windows requires</h3>
<ol>
<li>start to drag object</li>
<li>move to launcher/taskbar</li>
<li>steer to target app icon -- <strong><em>small and distant target!</em></strong></li>
<li>wait for app to become focused</li>
<li>steer onto window -- <em>(huge target)</em><br>
optionally: steer onto intended area of window, e.g. playlist (<em>fairly large target)</em></li>
<li>drop object</li>
</ol>
<h3>Drag'n'Drop <em>with</em> Alt-Tab on the other hand only requires</h3>
<ol>
<li>start to drag object</li>
<li>Alt-Tab to other app<br>
optionally: steer onto intended area of window, e.g. playlist (<em>fairly large target)</em></li>
<li>drop object</li>
</ol>
<p>Thus, no small and distant target required for Drag'n'Drop whilst Alt-tabbing</p>
<h2>Workarounds</h2>
<p>Interesting and probably for many users useful alternative approaches are presented in the answers below. Great many thanks to the community!</p>
<h2>Correct answer</h2>
<p>... seems to be available only when the bug is fixed, though.</p>

However when i tried to boot using my pen drive, kubuntu is recognised but i get a console (similar to DOS) rather than any GUI that we usually get. I guess thats the GRUB console, it supports certain commands like ls (which gives 7 HD0,1 2 3 etc. like o/p) halt (shut down) and exit (gets hanged!)
So please tell me what to do, i tried out all commands in the help section! But i didnt get directed to the customary GUI of kubuntu, is my PD not installed properly or any other reason, i tried it a hundred times and over!</p>

When I pressed the "close" button on Rhythmbox title bar, the Rhythmbox window disappears, but the application does not close, and I can still listen to music and control it via the sound menu.</p>
<p>Is there any similar way to <strong>hide</strong> (<em>not</em> close and <em>not</em> minimize) Banshee? I know I can do that by running <code>banshee --hide</code>, but I would love to get that result from within Banshee, for example by "closing" it's window. Is that possible? If yes, then how do I do that?</p>

37402 | 1 | 41844 | 2011-04-27T22:21:27.080 | 1 | 1821 | <p>I have a HDSPA USB stick from Vodafone for mobile broadband, a <a href="http://www.business.vodafone.com/site/bus/public/enuk/support/10_productsupport/usb_stick/01_vodafone/05_vodafone_k3520/05_summary/p_summary.jsp" rel="nofollow">HUAWEI model K3520</a> (in some places also designated E169 I think) which works just fine in Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" (<em>amd64</em>). This device is automatically mounted as a CD-ROM device by Ubuntu -- supposedly by the HAL daemon, <em>hald</em> -- namely the "partition" containing the device-specific software. </p>
<p>The contents of the auto-mounted partition (upon inserting the stick in a USB port):</p>
<pre><code>ubuntu@lucid:~$ ls -lh /media/VMC\ LITE*/
total 37M
-r-------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 70 2008-03-13 19:39 Autorun.inf
-r-------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 36M 2008-04-14 19:28 helper.exe
-r-------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 316K 2008-03-13 17:33 setup.exe
ubuntu@lucid:~$
</code></pre>
<p>The symlink <code>/dev/cdrom</code> gets assigned from the CD-ROM device at <code>/dev/sr0</code> to the device <code>/dev/sr1</code> upon detection of the USB stick, </p>
<pre><code>ubuntu@lucid:~$ ls -lh /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2011-04-27 22:48 /dev/cdrom -> sr1
ubuntu@lucid:~$ ls -lh /dev/sr*
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2011-04-27 22:34 /dev/sr0
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 1 2011-04-27 22:48 /dev/sr1
ubuntu@lucid:~$
</code></pre>
<p>which although not a serious impediment it is nevertheless an annoyance. For example, in the console this forces specifying <code>eject -d /dev/sr0</code> to open the CD-ROM tray, instead of a simple <code>eject</code>; supposedly, other programs wanting to use the genuine CD-ROM drive will require specifying explicitly the device instead of "assuming" the symlink <code>/dev/cdrom</code> to point to the "correct" device.</p>
<p>I have tried to follow instructions from a <a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=25500" rel="nofollow">Arch Linux thread about hald</a>, by creating my own configuration as <code>/etc/hal/fdi/policy/cdrom.fdi</code> with the following contents:</p>
<pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="block.storage_device" string="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_CDDVDW_SH_S223C">
<merge key="volume.policy.should_mount" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point" type="string">cdrom</merge>
</match>
</device>
<device>
<match key="storage.vendor" string="HUAWEI">
<match key="storage.model" string="Mass Storage">
<match key="storage.bus" string="usb">
<match key="storage.drive_type" string="cdrom">
<merge key="volume.policy.should_mount" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</code></pre>
<p>in an unsuccesful attempt to "coherce" <em>hald</em> into always assigning <code>/dev/sr0</code> to <code>/dev/cdrom</code> instead of auto-mounting the USB stick on insertion. </p>
<p>I realize that I could use <code>gconf-editor</code> to toggle the key <code>/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount</code>, but that would affect <em>all</em> media -- which is not quite what I'm looking for, although given the low impact of this "annoyance" it might be an acceptable compromise.</p>
<p>However, I am looking at some insight into what <em>hald</em> configuration might yield the desired results -- ignoring assigning <code>/dev/sr1</code> (the USB stick) to <code>/dev/cdrom</code> and thereby maintaining the symlink of <code>/dev/cdrom</code> to <code>/dev/sr0</code> (the CD-ROM drive).</p>

<p>I <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/26793/enforce-vpn-connection-to-access-the-internet">found this question which is similar</a> but I don't want to force all traffic through the VPN and I haven't been able to find a good guide on how to use firestarter from the command line.</p>
<p>Instead I was thinking of using ufw, but I have little to no experience with firewalls, and I'm hoping the community can help me out.</p>
<p>One idea I had would be to force transmission to use a specific port, say 33442, and then only allow traffic to and from that port from the IP address of the VPN server. I checked out the Ubuntu server guide and I think could do something like this:</p>
<pre><code>sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw deny port tcp from localhost to any port 33442
sudo ufa allow port tcp from localhost to VPNIP port 33442
sudo ufw deny port udp from localhost to any port 33442
sudo ufa allow port udp from localhost to VPNIP port 33442
</code></pre>
<p>Does this logic hold its salt? How would you do it? What would I use for VPNIP, the public IP of the VPN server, or should I specify the local subnet range that the VPN connects me to?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help! </p>

This was very helpful for newbies like me who don't want to play with hard drive partitions.</p>
<p>I would like to install Ubuntu on my laptop as my primary operating system while keeping Windows. When I get to the screen that says "Allocate Disk Space," I click specify partitions manually because I don't want to erase Windows.</p>
<p>Problem is, I don't know how to specify partitions manually. It's all one huge green bar called sda1 (ntfs). What do I do next?</p>
<p>If I press install now, it says no root files system is defined.
I tried the "shrink volume" function in Windows, but it complained telling me to run chkdsk, so I right clicked the c drive and nagivated to the chkdsk utility, told it to run on the next startup, which it didn't.</p>
<p>I am running Windows 7.</p>

Sometimes when I click it to launch, it launches and then other times it doesn't. I can't seem to figure out what is preventing it from launching and what sort of information I need to collect, also where to collect it from to make a bug report. </p>
<p>I have killed the gwibber-service processes in the System Monitor "<em>it loads three processes called gwibber-service, is this normal</em>" several times and tried to launch Gwibber again, but this doesn't seem to work. The process just called gwibber starts, then the three gwibber-service processes start, then the gwibbber process ends and the three gwibber-service processes remain but the application is still not launching.</p>
<p>Generally, I want to know are other people facing the same problem. If someone can give me some guidance on how to triage this problem and get the information need to make a bug report I would be grateful.</p>
<p>The upside to this though is at least when it is not launching it is preventing me from wasting endless hours reading my streams on Identi.ca and Twitter, so it is a bit <a href="http://www.workrave.org/" rel="nofollow">Workrave</a> for microblogging. In which case maybe I shouldn't fix this problem :-)</p>

<p>When you install a package using <code>apt-get install</code>, oftentimes, it will install several dependency packages as well as the main one. I was wondering if there is a way to completely reverse this install. Often, removing the main package will leave several packages behind. For example, I recently installed <code>kubuntu-desktop</code>. Wanting to completely remove it, I had to follow the instructions on this page:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome" rel="nofollow">http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome</a></p>
<p>I would like to know exactly how they obtained that information concerning all the packages to uninstall. </p>
<p>Thanks for any help!</p>
