Although I haven't specified any email syncing, the Thunderbird sidebar now displays folders, usually empty, with names like "Archive.sdb.U1Conflict" and "Sent.U1Conflict". This is before I have attempted to connect my laptop. Viewing the ~.thunderbird folder and its subfolders in Nautilus shows no indication of syncing, and the only items in the Dashboard lists are the files I have designated to be uploaded.</p>

<p>I've had this happen with fullscreen games, and I usually wind up have to hard-reset to get back. Pretty frustrating.</p>
<p>I googled around and found <code>xkill</code>, but that wont launch on a fullscreen app. I tried ctrl-alt-F2 which puts me to terminal, I can run top but it wouldn't kill freedink and it wouldn't let me start the x server again. I really didn't know what I was doing.</p>
<p>At least in windows 7 you can usually get to the task manager and kill the program, but I haven't found anything like Ubuntu to get me back.</p>
<p>Anything I can do?</p>

I type "xyz", and the browser will guide me to xyz directory, but I realise I also have to check in directory "abc", then I have to press escape, or backspace delete and search again for "abc". In Kubuntu, I simply have to type "abc" after a gap of say a second. That is very handy. I believe this can be achieved without a search box. Please tell me how.</p>

So if I leave it disabled I don't get notified on track change, but can still operate Banshee from the sound menu. The only downside, is that I can't click the close button on Banshee and have it minimise to tray, so you just have to remember to press the minimise button now instead of the close one and keep Banshee open.</p>\n",

One of the PC's here in the office suffered a network hardware failure in the on-motherboard network interface. We've fitted an off-the-shelf PCI NIC from a local PC store, but the machine won't boot with the card installed. It may be a driver issue, but the supplied driver won't compile with the 2.6.35 kernel on that machine. So I'd like to buy a replacement card that will be supported out-of-the-box, but the only HCL I can find is <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWiredNetworkCards" rel="nofollow">this wiki page</a>, last updated in 2009. We can't find any of the devices on that list on sale locally.</p>
<p>Failing a general list, can anyone suggest a good drop-in NIC that will "just work" with Lucid?</p>

However, after having used Opera a couple of times the launcher stops working, and when I open Opera from the Applications menu I either get no Opera launcher, or I get another icon for Opera Widget managemnt. It's like Unity "forgets" Opera and thinks the widget manager/installer is he Opera application. Since Opera works fine in Gnome this seems to be a Unity problem. Any idea how to resolve it? I'm using Opera 11.10 Beta on fully updated Natty Beta x64.</p>

<p>But I think these steps shrink the development communities and the support for each of these programs. It also causes general confusion since in each version something works completely differently.</p>

Before Empathy was developed like crazy Pidgin was the de-facto standard for most distros. Only when Empathy's development boosted, they replaced it. I don't see any chances of it being replaced any soon.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h1>10.10</h1>\n\n<p><strong>F-spot was replaced by Shotwell</strong></p>\n\n<p>F-Spot development was getting stagnant and there were hardly any active maintainers (IIRC). Right now there is only one major developer AFAIK - Ruben Vermeesh</p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, Shotwell is lighter and more actively developed.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h1>11.04</h1>\n\n<p><strong>Gnome Shell was replaced by Unity</strong></p>\n\n<p>Just a small correction. They are not replacing GNOME, but only the traditional gnome-panel which is anyway going to be deprecated in coming days. Means you won't get able to use it for very long. Later in a year or two you will have to choose between Unity or gnome-shell</p>\n\n<p><strong>Rhythmbox was replaced by Banshee</strong></p>\n\n<p>Banshee has faster development as claimed by their developers. My personal experience is that their developers are usually very passionate about the software. I have met their developers on IRC and they are more than ready to help in case of any problems.</p>\n\n<p>Just a good software is not a criteria. Active upstream development, active bug squashing, regular/predictable release schedule are the requirements. </p>\n\n<p>Also Banshee developers tried getting Banshee on the default installation during UDS-N at Florida. This means they are taking up marketing and propagation too. I have always found them to be one of the best people in Free Software.</p>\n\n<p><strong>OpenOffice was replaced by LibreOffice</strong></p>\n\n<p>I think every distro is planning to do so. OpenOffice is still under the clutches of Oracle and LibreOffice development is faster. There is no copyright assignment in LibreOffice as against OpenOffice. </p>\n\n<p>You might want to know that always Ubuntu never shipped with pure OpenOffice but with Goo-org which contains many patches which Sun was not ready to accept in OpenOffice. Goo-org was maintained by Novell primarily. The application was just branded as OpenOffice but was Goo-org</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h1>11.10</h1>\n\n<p><strong>PiTiVi was dropped</strong></p>\n\n<p>Poor reception and low rating in Software Center was cited as the major reason for dropping it. Secondly, it's target userbase was very small since it is a video editing application.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h1>12.04</h1>\n\n<p><strong>Banshee was replaced by Rhythmbox</strong></p>\n\n<p>Space concerns were cited for dropping Banshee which had of late had suffered some regression in quality <em>(controversial debate)</em>. </p>\n\n<p><strong>Tomboy, gBrainy and Mono Dropped</strong></p>\n\n<p>Since Banshee was the biggest user of mono stack, it was decided to drop Mono drop the CD itself and this Tomboy was also dropped. A game named gBrainy which also uses Mono was removed.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p>I can understand that there are confusions, but you cannot just throw an application in default and be sure that it's development is going to be still awesome till next release.\nEvery UDS you have a track called \"Default selection track\" where changes to default applications are discussed. They discuss which application's development is slowing down or getting buggier and the have to be replaced by which applications (if that is better)</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<p>My answer can have factual inaccuracies. Please point them out. I have written the answer to best of my knowledge and memory</p>\n",

<li>how do I find an application?</li>
<li>how do I configure my desktop?</li>
<li>how do I utilize the virtual desktops in a meaningful way?</li>

<li>how do I switch between open applications?</li>
<li>how do I categorize my applications like I was used to do it in the old menu?</li>
<li>how do I assign personal hotkeys (not numbers) to my favourite applications?</li>
<li>and so on ...</li>

<p>What I'm doing right now is using remastersys to create a distributable version of Ubuntu. It creates the iso, but I can't burn to a CD (the file is 1.1gb) and the computers in question don't have DVD drives. So I tried putting the iso onto a USB instead via the included Startup Disk Creator. It boots and installs fine for the most part, but at the very end of the installation, it tells me that it can't install Grub. </p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?</p>

<p>For sufficiently small fonts, pieces are missing.</p>
<p>As an example, here is a render of <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-20976.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-20976.html</a> in Firefox with zoom standard.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/898J3.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>There are a large amount of missing pixels or segments from the characters being displayed.</p>
<p>If I raise the zoom, these issues are still present, but the font is readable.</p>
<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/T83uA.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
<p>This process isn't a long term solution, as then I can't fit as much text on my screen as I need, and it happens in other applications as well, where I can't zoom at will.</p>
<p>I can't find a good resource that covers this, looking up anything with 'font' in the title leads to gnof.font configs (the fonts work though), or adding 'chunks missing' leads to minecraft compatibility on linux systems. :/</p>
<p>How might I fix this issue, and what's the correct term for what's happening here?</p>
<p>It's not just Firefox either, it's anything. I have the same problems in other applications, but they're usually of sufficiently large font to not be readily noticed.</p>

(install in my acer notebook, no partion, no double operating system problem, only istall it)
i've downloaded iso file ( kubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso ), insert usb pen drive,

erased usb pen content, and "make startup disk"
finally, reboot computer with pen inside usb port</p>
<p>normal boot didn't start (as expected) but only black screen with this signal:</p>

<p>i've tried different usb pen stick and different iso files (ubuntu, kubuntu, netbook edition).. always same problem (sometimes only the first line without "unknow keyword in conf file" error)</p>

34123 | 1 | 34698 | 2011-04-08T14:26:45.420 | 5 | 1729 | <p>In gnome, whenever I click on a contextual menu item (eg. right click on a window in the task bar) and then hover over a sub-item (eg. Move to another workspace) that is expandable, the submenu is not shown.</p>
<p>In order to show the submenu, I have to click about 4 times with my left mouse button OR leave the item again and re-hover the item with my mouse.</p>
<p>Why does the submenu item not expand automatically on the initial mouse-over (hover)?</p>
<p>Update: this is a pretty fresh install without any special interface software, just the default gnome installation. Ubuntu 10.10 with latest updates.</p>
<p>Also, this problem has been here since I installed Ubuntu a couple of months ago (the reason it is still a fresh install is because I rarely use Ubuntu, because of bugs like these).</p>
<p>Update:
My visual effects were on "normal". I then set them to "none", and now this issue has been resolved.</p>

<p>I recently upgraded to Natty and reinstalled tracker. I noticed that the most updated version found in <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/tracker" rel="nofollow">Universe</a> (and on the <a href="https://launchpad.net/~tracker-team/+archive/tracker" rel="nofollow">Tracker stable PPA</a>) is of version 0.8.17, yet looking at the <a href="http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/download.html" rel="nofollow">Tracker website</a> apparently the most updated version is 0.10, and they are working on 0.11. WOuld love to know if we should expect updates and if work is being done for integration with Unity.</p>
<p>I would also love to know if there are any real alternatives to have a desktop search tool which cleanly integrates with Unity (which has become default with Natty).</p>

<p>Is there any way to change what programs the icons in the second row point to? (If I were to add new lenses, do they also appear, and can I change the order?)
So far it seems like the Browse the Web and Listen to Music icons respect my preferred applications choices. The first can be either Firefox or Chromium (and perhaps others) and the second can be either Banshee or Rhythmbox. However, I can't change the Check Email icon. It remains pinned to Evolution, even though I have Thunderbird set as my preferred email client. I'd like to change this if I can.</p>
