I have a Thinkpad T530 with Nvidia Optimus graphics, which has been running Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 flawlessly, using the proprietary nvidia-331 drivers.
Yesterday I bravely decided to update it to...
I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 at work with Cinnamon, and it works very nicely. At home I'm running Saucy with GNOME Shell (gnome3-team PPA, but that's probably not needed anymore as most of 3.8 has landed...
You're worried about the theme? I can't even get Cinnamon to work on Saucy. I've tried both the cinnamon-stable and cinnamon-nightly repos.
I'd like to get Cinnamon working on Saucy, since neither...
I'm currently running GNOME Shell 3.8 from the GNOME 3 PPA (stable, raring) on my saucy install. It works fine, however I've noticed yet another undesirable change to Nautilus. When copying or moving...
I noticed this problem yesterday too. You don't need to do a full reboot. You can just kill pulseaudio and wait for it to respawn a few seconds later, and then your sound should work again.
...
You can see the kernel config with:
less /boot/config-`uname -r`
And to answer your question about SMB2, it looks like it's been enabled:
Most computer slowness these days is caused by waiting for IO (unless you have an SSD), so disk compression makes good sense. The CPU(s) have enough idle time that the computational overhead of...
That would break Firefox.

I'm not quite sure what you want me to report, but here is a screenshot of the gparted main screen, with device info pane enabled.
Well I guess a unicorn must have come riding in on a rainbow and installed my notebook using magic pixie dust.
But I could have sworn that I installed it from a USB stick.
Excuse me? I just installed today's amd64 image to an old Thinkpad T500, without any problems whatsoever.
... or you could just install grub to a suitably large (2GB+) USB stick, copy the ISO file directly to the stick, and set up the necessary grub menu entries.
I've done this on an old USB stick,...
What does apt-cacher offer that a simple caching HTTP proxy like squid wouldn't do?
I used to do a lot of Debian testing netinstalls at a previous job, and we simply had a squid proxy on the...
Nothing, except that it's an unnecessary step as a result of a bug in the installer. The point of a beta testing is to find/classify/fix bugs, is it not?
Besides, if I took your approach, I'd also...
I just tried installing on my old T500 with a fresh daily image from today. The partitioner still warns me that I haven't configured a swap partition, and asks me if I want to go back to the...
Can't say I'm surprised. Phoronix occasionally has some interesting articles, and is often the first to publish breaking news, but the articles get a bit repetitive, and Michael's benchmark/testing...
Nitpick much? Raring doesn't yet have any official alpha releases (not for the Ubuntu flavour anyway), so technically it's not even alpha testing :p
rofl.... the notifications are back to the GS-style, bottom-of-the-screen type.
And I have no idea how that happened. Gotta love beta testing ;-)
This mystery install of Chinese language support is still present in daily builds of Ubuntu 13.04.
Funny, I never had this problem with the old alternative (text mode) installer, but I've seen it...
Since I didn't intentionally enable this, I really have no idea... but once I find out, I'll be adding this to my list of "Things To Do After Installing Ubuntu"... along with disabling overlay...
Exactly... that's why I was kind surprised to see these again. I'm running GNOME Shell 3.6.2.
Did I break something?? In all honesty, I prefer these ones. I never liked the GNOME Shell...
I'm not sure if this is a GNOME Shell only thing, or also affects Unity. I noticed a new style of notification popups yesterday, and don't recall doing anything in particular to get them... is this...
I have a Thinkpad T530 and 12GB RAM... the only reason I even have a swap partition is because the Ubiquity installer seems to have a bug that won't allow you to proceed past disk partitioning...
This sounds suspiciously like Debian's unstable -> testing -> stable flow.
I always wondered when Ubuntu would implement something like that.
I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 beta1 yesterday from the desktop/live CD. I also see what appears to be Chinese shown in the list of supported languages.
However if I click the button...
