When we're talking about applications, it's more like this:
/opt/MyApp: your application's executable and data files go here
/usr/bin: or, if you want it on $PATH or something, your executable...
Error reports are collected by the Ubuntu Error Tracker, which you can see over here:
http://errors.ubuntu.com/
As I understand it, it will help you to create a new bug report in certain cases,...
Gah! When did Gwibber get removed from the repositories? I didn't notice that :( I thought it was just moving to "available but not recommended."
I use Sublime Text for pretty well everything, along with lessc whenever I can (should that count? I think it should). I use Bzr even if I'm the only person working on something. It keeps me focused,...
That's how nicely behaved software operates. Powerful malware, as a general rule, does not do that. Malware on Linux is not limited to asking for privilege escalation the nice way. System calls are...
It doesn't have to mean an empty desktop. KDE hasn't had a file manager drawing its desktop for years, now, and it's worked out great. Plasma does have various file-related widgets, but it's far...
It was a window stacking problem. Unity was doing something strange that led to a lot of its UI (the dash, the launcher) being drawn behind any open windows, unless you had something handling the...
Hooray! Perhaps this will be the kick Unity needs to finally adopt (or create, or be) a lean, polished and stable window manager instead of a compositing plugin system that does window decorations.
They aren't great for games, but neither is 13.04 (yet). The proprietary graphics drivers can be a moving target, so if you want them to be always working I suggest using 12.10 as your main driver...
Sounds like you're using the GNOME Classic session. Might be that it's doing that on its own as a fallback, which it does if your graphics driver doesn't have the necessary support. (Happens a lot at...
You definitely removed everything that was installed from the ibus PPA, right? I'm asking because there was an update in the GNOME 3 PPA which caused this just now on all of my systems. It's probably...
Yeah, I am seeing this on two different computers which I foolishly updated at the same time. Looks a really messed up update :(
I'm guessing the problem is the new gnome-settings-daemon, so I...
Nope, no Inuktitut translation, but there is a translation project on Launchpad:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+lang/iu
It would be interesting to see a push towards...
This doesn't stop anyone else from maintaining gnome-panel and Metacity in the future. It just means the GNOME project won't be devoting any more resources to it, since their focus is elsewhere (and...
This usually happens if a newer version of a package is uploaded, then gets reverted to an older version. It must be done this way because Debian treats the version field as both a functional thing...
I was opposed to this at first but the reasons discussed in the session made me a lot happier. Ubuntu's number one focus needs to be the users, and if we can build a better operating system by...
Things can just take a while to be polished up and uploaded to YouTube. For the sessions that happen at the right time for you, there is a live video stream for the plenaries at...
The best people to talk to are at Canonical. This website is about Ubuntu, not Canonical's business services. While I'm sure there are some people, I don't think there are many people here who could...
Depends on how much of an effect you want. My Das Keyboard has laser-etched lettering, so there's a slight indent. Definitely noticeable, but the letters are small so I can't say for sure whether I'd...
The Torrent download link is in the same place it has always been: under "Alternative options" at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop. The page with the financial contribution stuff is in the same...
Cool! Thanks for posting. I think this demonstrates one of my favourite things about free software: with so much working code in the open, it seems to be quite possible to focus on specific use cases...
Neat! Thanks for passing that on.
As far as I have noticed, GNOME 3 — especially with GNOME Shell — has a vastly improved start time. Quite a lot of work has contributed to this, actually. One...
I agree, and I'm curious why it is the way it is. There might be a clever reason. Maybe you could ask on the gnome-design IRC channel? :)
Dell XPS 13: End of POST to functioning login screen in ~9 seconds :)
Desktop gets to a login screen in about 10.
They both boot from SSDs, of course. I think the desktop used to do 20 or so...
