OK, they look like autobuilt from recipe packages. I don't think that these should necessarily be native packages (packages without a separate upstream tarball)
Generally there's a separate between upstream development & distro packaging - these can sort of fall into a grey area because they're for a site set up for the distro
Before you make those changes I'll check other stuff with them
@GeorgeEdison it would help if you didn't repeat the same long description for every package - I can't make sense of what each package is for from the descriptions
@ajmitch I can definitely fix that if you want - can the audataserver source package at least use the same description for the three binary packages it produces?
Proposal: With Ubuntu 12.04 the disk size is increasing to 750 MB. Why not go full bang and use the rest of the DVD space for drivers, thereby eliminating a lot of compatibility frustrations that are likely to deter new users?

Yesterday I suggested edits with links to Ask Ubuntu to ubuntu tags on other Stack Exchange sites. I don't think it will have any major effect on how many question we get but it might direct a few users here. It might a good practice to do that for any strongly ubuntu related tag on other sites.

And people are going to keep using it for some time because HTML5 doesn't do everything Flash does. Companies that need some sort of control over how their videos are watched have been able to use Adobe FMS to stream, livestream and encrypt bidirection audio and video. The HTML5 spec doesn't even solidify on a single codec (FFS), let alone specify how videos get there (past progressive download).

So if Flash dies completely, and browsers don't improve things for people that require streaming and (shock horror) DRM, that just means people will move onto the next best thing: SilverLight. I don't think I need to spell out why that's worse for us.

Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize the graphics card on my new Samsung rv515. In desktop preferences I cannot chose widescreen resolution (or any alternative resolutions, actually). I saw some supposed solutions posted online, but I cannot use the descriptions because they're written in pure Ubuntu...
anyone know of a good photo manager for itouch / iphone4+ devices that will help delete photos and their thumbnails . shotwell doesn't seem to delete the thumbnails
@MarcoCeppi and @RolandTaylor, I used to use f-spot but dropped it because of some bug but that was a while ago. It will delete the thumbnail files as well as the original photos at the same time?
@RolandTaylor That's true to a point but the only reason (under my comparison with Flash) with why people would need SilverLight is DRM/streamed video. Moonlight can't handle DRM video because it (legally, AFAIK) can't break the DRM that SL uses to handle videos. That might change in the future but it would take a big change in Microsoft's approach to Linux, and probably a licensing change in how Mono works.

What's the easiest way to change my fonts? I would prefer an easy to use graphical way, but answers with command line recommandations are also welcome.

Three male programmers were in the bathroom standing at the urinals. The first programmer finishes, walks over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeds to dry his hands very carefully. He uses paper towel after paper towel and ensures that every single spot of water on his hands is dried. Turning to the other two, he says, âAt Microsoft, we are trained to be extremely thorough.â The second programmer finishes his task at the urinal and he proceeds to wash his hands. He uses a single paper towel and makes sure that he dries his hands using every available portion of the paper towel.

Im wondering if I would be able to install Firefox 6 on Ubuntu 6. So far, I can't find out a way so I might be stuck with a really old version of ff.
