I mean, yesterday i had a discussion with my friend, and the topic was my passion for ubuntu. He has a claim. That we are not united by the love towards foss, but because we hate windows...
And few people i met since then shared the same opinion.
@Mahesh No. That could be a unifying force for passion towards open source based systems in some cases, but it's the wrong reason to do the right thing. Also, check the screenshot.
So according to the Gospel of Spolsky 13:4, a core mission of Stack Exchange communities is to stop re-answering the same questions, and instead build a library of canonical answers. When general duplicates (instances of a problem) arise, we close and refer them to one such answer. For example:

I'm talking to a guy who has an old desktop with XP, i think i'll buy that off him for $50 or so, and then i can have a legal, nicely infected XP to play with and then implode with a ubuntu server install
7:34 UDS time! Only a few more hours until the keynote.
Heh. Yeah. I got a gianormous amount of software through the MSDNAA when I was doing the college thing. Just the software would have cancelled out tuition.
@jrg heh that hurts :-( it's not OLD, but kind of :-) my sis has a acer aspire one with original wn 7 but she didn't notice that her 1GB ram was removed and running with 512MB .....lol ...
and @jrg do you know how to fix the choppy sound of ubuntu when clicking buttons and playing music ? I have fixed it before , but do not remember now:-(
@AmithKK I use unity.. :| and btw XFCE didn't really please me. Can you share a screenshot of ur desktop? I guess I've done something wrong in setting XFCE up.
Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04. The clock indicator on the panel is not following my regional settings format. I edited locales and in all applications I have the right format of date and time except clock indicator on the panel. Tried dconfig editor but keys for clock applet cannot be chang...
This might be a weird question, but can you have Samba "proxy" for another server? IE if mount a share on \\server1\someshare the server transparently proxies it to \\otherserver\randomshare.
Note that redirection will not work since \\otherserver is not directly accessible. The servers run Ubu...
@AmithKK just a heads up but I have an answer for your post about empathy themes going to pidgin but please let me know if it doesn't make sense or if you need me to update it with better information.

Over yonder on the GTK site, they have an all-in-one package with all of the dev. files for everything but the Gimp itself.
...and you can get those by generating them with Mingw's dlltool.
Unfortunately it seems like I found a bug in my plugin that only manifests itself on Windows (actually, I haven't tried the plugin on 64-bit Ubuntu so it could be an architectural problem).
Ugh. Why is setting up a puppet server and getting it to talk to another machine A. so poorly documented, and B. such a pain? It's 2012, we have stackoverflow, we have superuser, we have serverfault. This should not be such a issue!
err. I had an issue with an N wireless USB not passing through right if I didn't have both the extensions inside the VM and the extension pack on the ubuntu side
The battery life when using Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro is very bad: 2-3 hours whereas OS X achieves 5-6 hours.
This is due to discrete graphics being used all the time.
The battery life is better when using the proprietary AMD driver, but still far worse than it could be when using integrated gra...
I got a integrated GD, which is Intel, and another discrete GD, AMD Radeon 6490 HD
I am using ubuntu 11.10
1st, when I boot into Windows, my GD is indeed AMD Radeon 6490 HD, but when I boot into Ubuntu, it shows that I have AMD Radeon 6470 instead.
2nd, I try most methods only to install driver...
To check whether your kernel is compiled with the proper option you can examine the file config-2.6.nn-mm-generic in the /boot directory: `grep -i switcheroo /boot/config-2.6.*`
If I run this command, I get:
(translated:) grep: /boot/config-2.6.*: File or directory not found.
