Really. You should write a book. Every time you have a problem is some important thing. Next time I'll be reading "Damn it, could not connect to the Curiosity Robot via SSH tunneling".
Changing colors will involve tweaking the LESS files used by Bootstrap.
If it's not a really major change and affects one or two items, you could always use plain CSS and stick !important on the end of declarations as needed.
I have file with name --help.tgz. I want to delete but don't know how.
I tried rm "--help.tgz", rm \-\-help.tgz and it did not work. How can I delete a file with such name?
My understanding of disc partitioning has always been that you partition a disc to install multiple operating systems so you can boot from multiple operating systems on a single disc. However I'm reading a ubuntu server book and it talks about partitioning the /home directory of a ubuntu installa...
when I installed Ubuntu 12.04 it says "we detected you have windows 7 os, do you want ubuntu installed on a separate partition?" And then there is a custom option but what that custom option does is allow you to specify which partition to install ubuntu os, not a particular folder.
@Seth feel free to add an answer ... I'm a little snowed under at the moment with other stuff so I dont have enough time to make a great answer that I'm sure you'll be able to do even better :)
Ubuntu newbie here. I want a different wallpaper for each workspace. I tried CCSM and gconf-editor, and neither worked. And Compiz seems to crash on occasion. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, and I can't find a single tutorial for 12.10 specifically.
I've been going through them and answering them with the solution that worked for me, and then flagging them as duplicate of the one with the solution that worked
@StephenOstermiller - my thoughts on that is that perhaps an edit to the accepted answer linking to the other would perhaps be more appropriate than a copy & paste answer.
ok ... serious now ... I'm going to have a close look Stephen with your answers - if appropriate I will either merge the whole question or I'll edit the accepted answer with a link to the "master" - in that way you'll have one answer to maintain rather than several.
I personally don't like it when something is marked as a dupe and it has other answers, none of which are helpful
I google something and I land on it, then I have to decide whether the answers on it are the ones that I should pay attention to, or where I need to look at the dup.
Guys. If I make a .htaccess file in a directory (under www, with www-data owner), and enable directory listing there.. there SHOULD BE a directory list... right?
I've been noticing this for the last few days, and it seems like a bug.
Here is what the link currently looks like:
Notice the dark purple colored left border which shouldn't be visible. Below is the zoomed image:
While hovering, the border disappears.
There is no such border on meta.

@fossfreedom Thanks @fossfreedom, that looks pretty good. There some answers now that were merged in that don't make sense in this context: askubuntu.com/a/249292/53750askubuntu.com/a/283821/53750 Can they be deleted? I think they were answering other aspects of merged questions.
@Seth Searching questions gave 40 results askubuntu.com/search?q=seperate+home+partition with regard separate home partition. Creating or 'migrating your home directory into its own dedicated partition. Setting up /home on a separate partition is beneficial because your settings, files, and desktop will be maintained if you upgrade, (re)install Ubuntu or another distro.'

@fossfreedom Looking at askubuntu.com/q/208146/102029 the asker is asking about the motd bug but adds his system is not shutting down cleanly. He then comments after rebooting has noticed the motd bug is not an issue. unsalvagable through editing = ask another question? or just change the title?
A few days ago my browser(Firefox) has stopped loading images when using Facebook.com . I tried Google-chrome and it turned out that photos don't load up there too.

@geezanansa Yes I saw most of those, but didn't find a good Q/A on how to set it up during installation. it might be simpler than I thought.. I'll find out soon ;) (help link looks great).
Firstly, let me point out that there is some mention of the top on this post. But I am still confused on how to deal with some of these posts. It's assumed that the community will handle the situation appropriately, but I see conflicting actions taken in incidents involving non-English posters.

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10. I am the only user, and would like to be able to drag files from directory to directory.
1) How can I open up permission to do this? Do I do this from root?
2) Is there a command that I can enter into the terminal? If so, what would an example command be?
...
3) You can set privileges on each file to rwx for everybody (which is really dangerous). The commad for this is something like chmod -R 777 run in the /.
