Yes, it is gnome-disks.

Were you noticing specific issues that made you think the disk might be failing or did you just randomly check and see the Smart Data & Self-Tests FAILING...

I like the idea of using a Self-Encrypting Drive for increased performance, security and simplicity. I have done a number of searches and haven't found any information yet that definitively answers...

I have a Blu-ray drive and some BD-RE DL 50GB discs that I want to use for backup. How do I format a disk so that it is automatically mounted and can be dynamically written to with drag and drop,...

Wow! Thanks for the fix. This has been an issue for every Kubuntu release over the past maybe 5 years now. It affects every laptop I install on, Macbook Air, Lenovo Thinkpad T410S/T420S etc etc...

Gnome has been on a long downhill slide into the abyss of dumbness and decreased user functionality since the release of 3.0 :(

Such a shame when things get dumbed down and useful features are stripped out. Is this Ubuntu or Gnome's fault? I don't see any reason to remove a useful feature like expandable folders when it was...

This worked perfectly for me with Virtualbox installed from repos. Didn't have to reboot or disable anything. There was an error with the network connection on the Appliance I had imported. I set...

Do you know if it is a Synaptic pad? The touchpad on my Macbook Air works pretty well, although not all the gestures are supported and touchegg hasn't been updated for 12.04. When touchegg is...

I own a T410s and a T420s. The Linux compatibility on these machines and other Lenovo systems I have installed on has been fantastic. I am expecting a smooth experience with the X1 Carbon when I get...

I wish Lenovo and other manufacturers would make the option available to have systems shipped WITHOUT Windows and provide feedback functionality during the ordering process where customers could...

I plan on purchasing an X1 Carbon at some point in the near future. I'll report back my findings after I get it.

I am copying a bunch of files from CDs and DVDs to my external hard drive for backup. Is it possible to have the CD/DVD eject automatically once the copy is finished? If this is not possible, is...

Another thing I discovered is that the amd64+mac does not include true EFI booting. If you install with that image, you'll get a hybrid MBR.

It is best to just download the regular ISO. I was able...

Nice! Both suggestions are good.

I attached what the Nautilus config window looks like with option set to run executable text files. Can't beleive I didn't find this :P

I have a bash script I created. When I double-click it, a prompt is displayed with options for "Run in Terminal" "Display" "Cancel" "Run".

I use this script on a regular basis and for convenience...

I also installed 12.04 with Btrfs on my Macbook 4,2. Do you encrypt your filesystem? I'm trying to figure out how to optimize for an SSD that is encrypted.

The easiest way I found to create a bootable USB install disk that works for Mac UEFI is to use dd. I tried several different methods for creating a bootable USB disk for the daily build of Ubuntu...

btw, this does seem to be a hardware issue with most Thinkpad laptops:

So to correct myself, perhaps the volume control is providing...

Okay, I just found a solution.


sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer

Then you can run PulseAudio Equalizer to boost the gain. I find that a range between 5db and 7db across the board is...

I'm looking for the very same option. Some things are recorded at low levels and the volume when listening over my laptop speakers is too quiet. It's silly that the hardware can go louder, but 100%...

Thanks.

with a setting between -0.400 s and -0.700 s works well for me.

Is there any way to keep this setting saved so that it is active every time VLC is opened?

Has anyone tried touchegg (a nice config tool for touchpad gestures) on the 4,1 or 4,2? It works well for me on my other Macs (don't have access to the Air at the moment).

@dfacto

any chance of getting your hacks included in the stable release?

A matter of perspective. Perhaps it was a stroke of luck that it didn't sell. :D

Ubuntu on the new Macbook Air is going to be awesome, considering how much progress has been made before Oneiric...
