My sad story: few months ago I was looking for a solution to my problem and was about to ask a question on StackOverflow when I found already existing question with slightly different wording. Sadly, this question had almost no answers. Now if I own the question, I would just set up bounty on it ...
I know that all variants of English (American English, British English, etc.) can be generally understood by everybody who knows any of the English variants. But there are some regionalisms that can lead to ambiguity.
What are the things I must be aware of when the target audience (of my writi...
I guess I've got more than one ubuntu installation (either two or three) along with a windows 7 installation. Each of the ubuntu installations also list something extra (maybe like a safe mode?) within grub.
Firstly, how do I remove the ubuntu installations I don't use? (how do I first identify ...

@zpletan's answer lead to a bit of hunting around, which quickly unearthed what seems to be the root cause of my problem. It's detailed in Ubuntu Bug #574296. In summary, my Core i7 system with an SSD starts everything with sufficiently different timings that gnome-settings-daemon runs too early,...
It's an interesting question, but also very hard to answer, among other things since "trouble free" is a quite subjective metric.

I am considering buying a new computer with Windows 7 (64-bit) pre-installed. Would it be possible to install Ubuntu (preferably 64-bit) dual-boot on such a machine, and then, using VirtualBox / VMWare, etc. under Ubuntu, make a virtual machine that "points to" the existing Windows 7 OS (without...
In Good Subjective, Bad Subjective, we made a pretty solid first stab at defining a constructive subjective question, one that I’ve been happy with so far.
Constructive subjective questions:
But the six guidelines above depend partly on the questions, and partly on the answers. They’re a fine starting point for determining what a good subjective question generally looks like — but I couldn’t fully explain what makes a bad subjective question.
