Because if you have a duplicate with no answers, it does a redirect to the master dupe for users that aren't logged in, which is the vast majority of our visitors.
Duplicate questions that use different words to describe the same problem are important for people to find the content via search engines. But the user experience when an anonymous user arrives at a duplicate is less than ideal.
They have to notice the duplicate link and understand that the answ...
I'm going with "This question not well suited to the QA format. There could be an entire book written on the topic. The QA format calls for mini-articles bordering on articles."
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is
not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they
are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them
as they fly overhead.
I think the session manager guy is better than this one: I need help on developing a UI for a app. Basically this app will have do panels, left and right, lets say. On the left panel will be displayed customers and when I click on the customer name on the right will appear tabs with information, some kind of form with name, email, picture, etc.
@izx Dear Sir: I will help you with your application. My hourly rates are $50, and they go up by a factor of 10 every 47 hours. Please email me at smart-nigerian-spammer@mwahaha.com
I once replied to a Nigerian scammer (dating themed) nicely with "If you want your spam to be taken seriously, you should change your email body to something that doesn't come up in google"
There really should be a single tutorial that does basic package to uploading signed to PPA (with a local id that doesn't match your launchpad id, as this is USUALLY the case) from start to finish. Sadly you have to piece it all together from a bunch of places. I have a text I'm working on that makes it linear, but it seems I'm too late
Yes, just slightly different invocations: [example](http://askubuntu.com/questions/155997/error-running-quickly-share-ppa-share) Is it a DEBFULLNAME/DEBEMAIL problem?
are you sure it matches the fullname, comment, and email on your associated signing key? i had that issue(my comment is: (no comment)). i thought it would be funny, and I have regretted populating that field to this day
I decided to write my own DE using these instructions here it worked and I can login however I didn't use a panel so I don't have a logout button or a session manager.
I've decided to write my own session manager (instead of using established ones) so I can quit the session and return to the lig...
@jrg I did, and it doesn't jive with his body at all, so I edited the title to be what he said he wanted it to be... (in the sincere hope that someone would look at the title and answer) :/
so sometime tomorrow morning i'll get an email saying my build failed for some reason. yawn
i smell a angry ranty blog post about quickly and vendor lockin coming on...
because that really irks me. yeah, there is little to no competition out there, however that doesn't mean that you should just "Use my APIs and only my APIs!"
I don't think it should be a choice that implies one or the other. I think it should be quickly generate, quickly package, quickly git/quickly bzr. where quickly git makes a local git repo you can push or quickly bzr syncs to launchpad
and maybe because I'm used to Rails, where the only thing that they 'make' you do is follow their strict model-view-controller setup, and they don't even make you do that, it's just more of a "Yo, you should do this".
oh nononono. i'm not forking quickly either. ;P
Maybe it's because I'm really a hipster - I wear plaid, code in rails, use coffeescript, dislike compiled languages, use a "archaic" linux distro, and drink fair trade coffee once a month. zing!
anyway, i'm going to shut up now and go to sleep. night guys. :P
I kind of like the idea of good old debian packaging, but with a simple ./deb folder, a ./filesystem folder (where you put stuff you not smushing in to a makefile/egg/something) like ./filesystem/opt/appname/ and ./filesystem/usr/local/whatever, and a normal ./src

Bounty offered: How to diagnose Ubuntu CPU spikes / IO wait? http://askubuntu.com/questions/116844/how-to-diagnose-ubuntu-cpu-spikes-io-wait?atw=1 #freeze
Is an "AMD NX2100 with 512k" one of those geode thingies? But then he says he's running an FX5200... I'm guessing his CPU has nothing to do with lack of 3D Unity though.
I'm there with you on stressful period. I haven't done it, but I had examined the documentation. The reference to developer portal makes me think there's a setting in there to associate your paypal or provide banking information which they will confirm before sending payment
Well, he's a mysterious fella who [theorized that 10 deg C immediate changes in HD temp](http://askubuntu.com/a/143097/58612) upon switching AC/battery, as reported by smart, were caused by the *battery* releasing heat or somesuch. Anyway, I contributed my bit to restoring some balance in the Force.
nobody wants "balance to the force" didn't you do the math? always 2 sith there are, but there's an entire jedi temple. they WANTED to be annihilated ?
How come the chromium in the software center is behind a whole version. I see 19.xxxxxxx is out. I know that ubuntu does not have new versions out but I think chromium should be updated? Seems like the team that did it for ubuntu is inactive
Was just making sure. I thought it was valid, but when I think I'm nearing grey area I ask in the General Room
I think there should be a game development targeted liveDVD/installable media with some PPAs already enabled. You know, like OGRE with all the plug-ins compiled and demo projects pre-configured in eclipse or codeblocks, blender by default, etc. Any thoughts?
@aking1012 Enabling PPAs in anything even semi-official is like playing with fire, unless they're under "your" control and/or you're prepared to back them up with support
Fair point. I was referring to say, forking PPAs that are testably working. Then migrating changes piece-meal so you can revert them if required, but keeping it PPA based and mainline based
@izx - I just saw the I have an app with say two panels question. Oh god... I had serious trouble not telling them to google callbacks
It would be a simple bit to write: Please phrase your title as a question: "How do I X?" Please refrain from phrasing a complaint as a question: "Why is XYZ slow?" We want to help, but it makes it easier if you help us help you.
Consider questions like "Why doesn't Internet work on my Ubuntu?" Obviously this is too vague and the person is not following the suggestion in the title box to "be specific".
The catch-22 is that telling someone "be specific" is unlikely to help in the majority of cases. It's like telling a st...
i think maybe they were fishing for the "Klingon and Romulan speakers are subsumed by the Scifi cite" to try and make an argument for UL subsumes AU etc...but then I'm often considered paranoid
Hey, that's the OP who thought waiting 16 hours for the "experts" was too long...well lookie, he got experts of all kinds weighing in in the next 16 hours!

@JourneymanGeek just for the record, rep on serverfault should count double on the rest of stack network. it's incredibly difficult to get rep there(the rep i got there was accidental from a migrated question)

@izx not really. i just didn't have a better word to describe my boredom of studying for exams.
@jrg heh sorry for the outburst. the sleep deprivation, anxiety and desperation sort of made me a little upset. i should have been the one backing what mods do. instead of standing against them. do what you think suits the site right. i'll try to keep my mind cleared :)
I have this issue with Lenovo Thinkcentre Edge. Its keyboard has "Fn" key, which acts in my Ubuntu (with Fluxbox) as it is always "active/pressed" -> I can't use standard F1-F12 keys unless I hold down this stupid key. You see, I'm a programmer so it's really pain to me.
So I decided to remap fun...

Some three years ago or so, I got a working IBM PC/AT (286) off the curb; unfortunately had to junk it back when I moved and couldn't take all my junk with me
@JourneymanGeek, so did the "overload" on that question finally resolve or is there still the risk of a short circuit?
When i get teed off and emotional, i bitch, then walk away. Then hopefully come back more clear headed. Else whoever's on the recieving end is toast ;p
Also, checked with someone who's better than me, he's ONLY horrified by my use of octals rather than the letter-mnemonic sytem

i'm newbie in linux,
i'm just wondering if there is any solution to make ubuntu auto login and run the program. and if the program is close, so does the linux.
my goal is to create POS system, but now just because the linux/windows, operator can play the game while working.
thanks
OK, ignore my close vote on that; after comments it emerges that this is what the OP wants: any one know out-of-the-box solutions suitable for newbies or is he better off using a distro designed for being run in kiosk mode?
I want to create a Point-of-Sale (PoS) system with Ubuntu. (i.e. cash register).
The system should start with the PoS application, and shutdown when the PoS app is closed. It must be locked down, and allow no other apps to be run, such as games, etc.
