After attempting to use a VPN client (Astrill), I can no longer access the internet through my Ubuntu installation.
Its not a network issue, as on the same Wifi and wired network both my Windows install and other comps can connect and use the network.
I can, however, connect to sites via a prox...

On two of my computers running Natty with Gnome 3, I'm having periodic keyboard lag. It happens at a random interval after starting the computer. Basically, the keyboard will stop functioning normally and only register input if you hold a key down for two or more seconds. When you release the ...

Periodic Keyboard Lag/Delay
I had the same problem with my Lenovo x61 laptop running xubuntu 11.04. After some experimentation I found that this only occurs when using xterm. Try using a diff...
We (your moderators) have been mulling over an idea for a good way to deal with old, unanswered and unanswerable posts. We've been in discussion with the StackExchange team and while we're a long way from actually launching this, we feel it's about time we involve the community and let you help s...
Hiya ppl, Is thr any mp3 player which has only "Play, Pause, Next, Prev" with "Enqueue" options.. Simple one.. I don't need any other features.. just as simple as that
Here's what I want: I have a folder with MP3 files. I would like to play all the files in the folder, alphabetically. And I need a way to pause, skip to next file, and that's pretty much it.
I don't want to use my music player to organize my music library, I don't need connection to network serv...
@htorque well you can't do that on LP but you can do that here and tell people that it is not our fault as the servers run on Windows :D
it was a system error hehe
BSOD
\o/ asked Iain Farrell from the design team if there is any special reason that the Ubuntu t-shirt animal logos are not available as SVG. The answer was, no, they will release them. YAY!

well but it is the same plugin for both tools which are commonly used by designers together, it doesn't make sense to have the questions separated so people have to search twice ...
@Alaukik dude that is utterly unnecessary ... two questions for the same answer ... cmon
it is about how fast people can get the information they need. If the plugin is for both tools and people need it for both then they should not have to search twice ... that is wasted time
if people only need it for one tool then they can just install it for one from that one question
Some posts are closed whereas some posts are locked , there must be some difference between them otherwise they would be the same.
what is the dissimilarity amongst closing and locking a post ?
@Alaukik You are apparently not on Stack Overflow to understand why it is needed. Better don't judge before investigating on that! Just checkout older questions on Stack Overflow and you'll find out why it is absolutely necessary.
@Alaukik of course it doesn't make sense to you as you are not involved in the part of the community where the shit hits the fan. Me on the other hand is involved in the most hostile tag (quality wise) in the entire Stack Overflow site, the Android tag. People with rights to clean up simply couldn't keep up with the flood of bad quality stuff
I'm very sensible on this topic as I'm really someone that cares about quality and I've spent hours over hours trying to find a solution for that particular problem. If heard a lot of people like you just nagging that the ideas are not good or that feature is bullshit and so on without them trying to contribute some ideas to solve it.
oh and I've been involved in that hostile environment for over nine months so you can trust me that I know quite exactly what I'm talking about.
@Alaukik yes but the quantity of characters someone uses to describe a question most of the times is directly proportional to the quality of the question. Of course there are exceptions but for people that generally provide quality content it is not a big deal to formulate the question to be a bit longer and maybe contain more information
There are certain quality filters we apply to incoming questions.

How can i upload an image directly from inkscape to deviantArt ?
I've seen people give links to software in their answers on ask-Ubuntu. Seems like a pretty cool feature, how do I do it?
