Unity is currently the default window manager on my system, a window manager that's available for many Linux distributions, meaning this question isn't Ubuntu-specific. I have disabled the dock's autohide using debconf, but apart from that I haven't altered any of the default settings. My usage p...
I downloaded Customizer 3.2.1 from ppa:customizer-dev-team/devel and ran the application through the terminal so I could see the output. I have tried both 32 bit and 64 bit isos, but once the isos are selected the file browser closes but all the buttons stay grayed out. I have tried both 32 bit a...
let's say you use school network or some public shared network. If there are multiple users of SE and they occasionally vote each other, how does the network differentiate them?
segregation by IP is a horrible metric, it should be the bottom of hte list. use things like session tokens, browser, operating system, and other public identifiable data
i have a method at work that calculates based on ISP, OS, Browser, network cookie data, and of course, a session id. all three are independent metrics that have weight. IP being the smallest metric but still an important one.
I'm currently banned on Stack Overflow because multiple people in my office use Stack Overflow, and we share an IP address, so I was suspected of being a sockpuppet. Won't this also happen if someone uses a system in a public cafe?
If you're talking about suspicious voting patterns, it only applies on a per account basis, otherwise it simply gets flagged for review. So if a single user triggers it (either serial up or serial down) then the rep is reset, if it's an IP address(es) doing it shows up for review, IIRC
@MarcoCeppi Question... Stack Mobile depends on Stack.PHP for the API - do you think it would be better to have it as an external requirement or include it in the repository?
so i play in my sandbox of what they want and do the best i can :) Funny thing is, the guy that won the scholarship submitted his video literally an hour before it ended. and it was a WOW video
I have Xubuntu 11.10. Today i installed ubuntu-desktop package to install Unity graphical environment. Unity 2d is working fine but 3d is not.
When i log in, I can hear the Ubuntu login sound and then the wallpaper loads for few seconds and then a black screen is shown. I could see still my mous...
something like that is why i'll be forever alone -- because i will some day own a setup with that much visual real estate.
who needs a girlfriend when you have 24 crisp LED monitors setup in a semi-circle that will give you enough radiation poisoning to leave you looking like a mutant from Fallout 3
My 3 monitor setup at home is 2 pc controlled. Twin towers -- i need a 2 port output card to power 4 -- but its coming after i do the monitor upgrade and decide what i'm doing with my pc's. If i'm going to drop the money on a system76 overpriced but basically certified ubuntu laptop, or if i'm going the roll your own route and just update the whole schebang around November.

I've set up sendmail on the virtual host I rent (Ubuntu 10.10 Linux 2.6.35-22-server) and I can't get it to work, or even see any error messages to give me a clue of why it isn't working.
The only anomalous behaviour is after finishing input data it gets stuck instead of instantly receiving deli...
Can you answer this? Replace XFCE Power Manager with Gnome Power Manager http://askubuntu.com/questions/76354/replace-xfce-power-manager-with-gnome-power-manager #powermanagement
You cant do so in a terminal, but you can do so in a tty using fbi. You need a framebuffer to allow this to work
sudo apt-get install fbi
Go to a virtualterminal(TTY) and enter fbi <filname>
It should show your image

I'm pretty sure it's self-nomination only - aka, you can't nominate me. And I'm not cluttering up the chat room with any more moderator related thingies until the election is official and people are asking me serious questions. :P
SO. Got any questions to be closed, in dire need of a major edit, or anything of that nature?
I need one really important package from oneiric to be installed (upgraded) on natty.
How can I extract just single deb file? (64 bit).
Should I use backports? if yes, can you please tell me how to set the backports from oneiric?
@RonanForman can you please point out the points where you question is different from the other, sorry if I am bing ignorant but they sound the same :(
