Green Wing!

And if you're not easily offended, Peep Show.

I do a clean install once every 3 months or so for no good reason whatsoever.

I was just perusing YouTube and browsed my way over the Celebrate Ubuntu channel to check out the webapps preview vid and noticed that:

a) all the background music they use on their videos is...

Thanks, but that's not the issue. If I select the same wallpaper (say, the Ubuntu default) on both my desktop and netbook (identical PPAs and update channels) the netbook will show scaling options.

At some point in the past couple of weeks the option to change wallpaper scaling in system settings mas mysteriously disappeared.

I'm running 12.04 with all updates (including anything from...

Nope. I can get Windows Server 2012 for free as a student (Look up Dreamspark if you're interested) but I see no reason whatsoever to upgrade. All I use Windows for nowadays is to play Skyrim, and...

The wallpaper is from the latest Android update which I downloaded from here. Being Android wallpapers they're not really the right resolution for PCs, but that particular one scales up nicely.

If a video of a tree falling is trending on Google+, does it make a sound?

On topic: yes, the 12.10 devs have just rolled out an awesome new web app integration feature which is available to try...

I installed the Unity Glass mod today and replaced the BFB icon and am pleased with how good it looks even with the square icons in the Faenza set. The BFB looks much more at home now.

For anybody...

I'm using Arial 11 pt, which is what my faculty requires all submitted work to be written in. What I'm comparing it to is .pdfs of papers published in journals like J Virol and Nature, who I should...

I've recently started working on my masters' dissertation in LibreOffice (+ Bibus for referencing, LOVE the PubMed search function) but am dissatisfied with the quality of the documents it outputs....

I formatted my /home a week before my undergrad dissertation was due in. I'd last backed up 6 days and 7000 words previously. That was the day I decided to start using a cloud service.

Sadly it provides nothing but a look at what day a certain date is at a glance. I hope Thunderbird gets some love and integration with it and the messaging menu in 12.10.

Does it use the Debian installer and thus still contain that show-stopping CD drive bug which happens when you try to install from USB?

That wallpaper wasn't in 7.04 (just dug out my old 7.04 livecd to take a look!) so it's most likely 7.10.

I'd like new emails in Thunderbird to light up the messaging indicator blue and integrate with the calendar in the clock applet like Evolution does.

I'd also like to see an overhaul of or even the...

HDMI out works flawlessly on ATI cards with the fglrx driver installed rather than the open source one.

This is a known bug in the Faenza iconset - you need to use the "Faenza-Ambiance" variant of the theme.

I concur with Xubuntu, but you need to remove some bloat from it (such as the bluetooth applet, update manager and oneconf, if you aren't going to use any of them) to get it running perfectly on...

The gnome-shell 3.4 update broke a few things in themes. The #gnome-shell group on deviantArt is a great source of information on how to fix these things (link) and maintains a list of themes...

I'm normally an AMD fangirl but for the best "out of the box" experience with Ubuntu you'd be best getting something with an Intel graphics chip (which tend to be in cheap machines), purely so you...

I'd like to see someone come up with a Tux which is more "clean" than Tux-classic but less 90s and covered in ugly shiny gradients than the cross-eyed Tux.

With a name like that I'd be inclined to think he's a bioinformatician at a university or research institute using the idle CPU cycles of a machine which is usually hooked up to a high-throughput...

Magic Desktop, perhaps?
