Running Ubuntu 14.04 on Asus EeePC 1005PE. System settings says the brightness is all the way up, but the screen is very dim. Brightness buttons don't do anything. Changing the brightness level in system settings doesn't change anything either. Any idea how to fix this?
I run:
~$ gzip -d Mom.img.gz
^C
~$
I created Mom.img.gz by piping a dd to gzip. Should I be seeing output? I tried it with the gui too, and the progress bar didn't move.

Anyone here have isue when changing ethernet speed to 1000, you suddenly lose network connection and you are forced to change it back to 100 to get network connection back? I get that issue when running the following command: sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full
REFInd is a commonly used boot manager developed by Rod Smith. I think that it should be added due to its eminence. I can't add it myself because I don't have the rep. I'd like if someone added the tag to this question (by me) http://askubuntu.com/posts/441514/edit.
I'm trying create a nice playground for Docker in Vagrant based on Vagrant's precise64 box. (Code is available at GitHub: rfkrocktk/docker-vagrant-playground)

I had Ubuntu 12.04 alongside with Windows 7. Then I added some debian distribution on the extended partition. After some time I decided to clean up and reinstall linux (Ubuntu). In Windows disc manager I removed all linux partitions and merged the free space. As a consequence, I couldn't boot Win...
@PeterJ can you tell me how to convert unicoins to bitcoins.I googled it but found it is not possible. you are fooling me :( this is not good — suhail40 mins ago
You should divide the problem into smaller parts and solve each one individually. If you then combine the all the small solutions, you have solved the whole problem.
I want to know the commands that a specific Debian package offers me.
For example lets say I installed a package called x.deb. This package surely contains some commands that i can use.
How to list these commands.
I know I can use compgen bash command to generate list of all available commands...
It probably technically could if you renamed the ISO file but it would start by nuking the entire file and starting over from scratch. There's less than no point to doing it that way.
the point of zsync is to ensure the file being downloaded is absolutely valid - no point in trying to compare apples with oranges. Why? Bandwidth issues?
@RaduRădeanu, I think it influents Close Dialog, making the only valid reason to close "Because Unicoins". I will check that later when have mining enough UC.
I shared a questions with high views more than once but never received the Announcer badge.
I even shared the same question someone had his badge by sharing it and still didn't receive mine!
What is wrong ?
I am new to Linux development. I know some basics of Linux architecture like there are layers such as hardware, Kernel, libraries and GUI. I know kernel and drivers are mostly developed using C and C++. I know this is common for all flavors of Linux. I can browse the source code of Ubuntu kernel ...
Just working out if it's worth the effort. Doesn't sound like the user knows anything about display servers like X (or much about programming in general).
The Issue
I was using python-skydrive to download files to my PC, and I accidentally corrupted a good amount of my PDF files. When I try to view them in Document Viewer, I get the following error message:

To get the success or failure feedback, add the below line to ~/.bashrc file.

@terdon A development release question isn't automatically off-topic. It's comes down to whether or not it can be answered in a way that's still going to be relevant next week.
It was my belief, and the way that previous similar questions were treated, was that once the development version released its last RC version (Beta version in the case of 13.10), questions regarding the development version could be worked on since they were very close to the final release. Not m...
"ubuntu+1" is the developmental release of Ubuntu, so it changes every day so it can cause people to have lots of problems and ask for help. So for example people asking 11.04 (aka natty) questions months before the release, etc.
I think a bunch of us agreed in chat on how we handle these kind q...
@Oli Ah, yes, that is better. Hmm. The help page could be improved though. I had understood that all future versions were off topic, an impression reinforced by the close->off topic menu.
@terdon The whole reasoning behind dev releases being off-topic is in the answers to this question: meta.askubuntu.com/questions/8819/… Particularely Jorge's. So if it doesn't fall into that category it's fine.
@Seth Thanks, I'd read that but thought it was superseded by the Help page (whose link I didn't read like an idiot) and the close dialogue. I'm glad, I always thought that was a ridiculous policy.
I'm using Xubuntu 14.04 and I thought that I can't ask questions about it till it's officially released later this month, but I see many users asking about 14.04. So is it still off topic (Ubuntu +1) or can we start asking about it?

Effective Tags - Bring more attention to your question
Pick tags that show higher counts in the look-ahead prompts, as they are more likely to make your question appear highlighted for a user on the main page or show up in someone's RSS feed.
At a minimum, try to include at least one very broad...

@Braiam And my question is about a change in 14.04. However many times you try to tell me that's a meta tag (or whatever the excuse is this week), I'm going to point out that it's just not. I'm serious. You need to relax your hatred towards tags or you're going to end up banned for vandalism.
@Oli is not hatred, I'm telling you that that question is not only relevant to 14.04. "What has Jockey been replaced with in 14.10?" "What has Jockey been replaced with in 15.04?" "What has Jockey been replaced with in 13.04?" are all valid questions. I was cleaning up the tag since all the questions where getting closed and in fact yours got a close vote
why we need a question for each version of Ubuntu when we could simply get a one-fits-all?
It appears that Unity on Raring only comes with a single virtual desktop (aka workspaces) by default, and CCSM's Wall plugin has no way to add more. Is this configurable at all?
@JorgeCastro there's just one "Don't try to summarize your question using the tags. The point of tags on Stack Overflow (stack exchange) is to help other interested persons find your question by sorting it into clear, specific categories. This is not the same as indexing or summarizing the question. The differences are subtle, but important."
Help me please!
The site is completely messed up! Everything is blue. Do I have a virus? They told me I would not get a virus on UBUNTU!!
Please help me or I switch back to windows! This should work!!!
Thanks you many much
