Q: Asus Eee PC Screen Brightness Problem

shrawderRunning 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?

@chaskes Oh yeah? Been on the fence about installing it myself.
bingo. Thanks @chaskes :)
out to run in the sun (while we have it). bbl.
@seth I kept my 13.10 partition of course. but I'm on 14.04 now. intel graphics much, much better. seems faster on same machine than 13.10
@seth ttyl. have a good run

Q: Unzipping appearing to fail

PyRulezI 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.

Somebody is selling shoes here :D

@chaskes I wasn't aware of that bug, but fixing bugs is always cool!
Is Ubuntu Studio supported here?
yep.
We're cool.

Isn't there a "How To Install Ubuntu Studio?" canonical post?
02:20
mm.. the same way you install other distros?
Then we should start linking there
But it also can be "upgraded" using just CLI
I found:
We can write a post "How to ..." and link all there
(merge)
Was this the way @jrg came here?
I think that we all came here due to graphic issues :)
I finally found a good reason to use : askubuntu.com/q/441609/62483

Q: Can we add a rEFInd tag?

rajlegoREFInd 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.

What a helpful answer to all my questions:
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.

How to list these commands. I know I can use compgen bash command to generate list of all available commands...

can zsync upgrade iso images? I know it can update say 14.04 with latest version of 14.04, but can it upgrade 13.10 iso to 14.04 iso?
@AdityaPatil no
Oli
Oli
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.
@fossfreedom I think it can, but it won't be of much use.I am trying with 13.04 and 14.04 at it looks like they are 11.4% same
@Oli ^ and I didn't rename the iso
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?
No, I just wanted to check if it works or not.

How "Because unicorns" power works?
@AdityaPatil How this works?

@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.
@Danatela That was what I thought, but no, I didn't found any change

Every thinclient there was running Ubuntu
Although an outdated version :/
@MinatoNamikaze A customer suggestion box?
(Sorry for the bad image, but when I stood, people were giving me O.o looks xD)
I guess it was 10.04 with gnome2
Because firefox crashed or something and he had to reboot
And it still had the drums login sound when it booted up

Q: How Ubuntu Desktop Graphical user interface developed

user264221I 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 ...

@blade, what's the date on your calendar?

Is this question offtopic, if it is, can we forget the fact that the OP is using Debian instead of Ubuntu?
If there is an answer to it, it would be quite interesting (for me at least)

Anyone see Bing's april fools?
Bing is the joke.
That too.
So.. What new features in Trusty do I need to not notice see?

It only had one minor update :P

@Seth aw, no privileges with unicorn rep
Whoops.
Shutter changed the placement of their imgur links.
hm, yeah.. that dosn't even make sense.

Hi, Good morning.
How to get alien package. what url?
where is ubuntu9.04 repository?

@Seth letting your hair grow out?
or is that a wig...
someone went through a lot of work to get the 14.04 synonyms right.
@Mateo nah
Wigs are so in right now.
Ah good, Oli fixed the 14.04 issue.
16:30
@Seth Do we now accept them as on topic since it's 04/14?
Or do we need to wait for the official release date?
We're mostly ok with them now.
All the freezes have happened.
So, we accept 14.04 Qs?
If it's an obvious bug we'll probably still close but otherwise fine.
@terdon Yes.
@Seth Good.
Oli
Oli
@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.
16:33
@Oli Oh? I thought the policy was close on sight. Good, that makes much more sense.
Oli
Oli
So no bug reports and no speculative "will 15.10 have animated wallpaper?" questions.
Is there a meta about that somewhere?
Oli
Oli
@terdon Yeah, the links in the help about what's on-topic are fairly decent (and explain that more or less)
@Oli Not really, they just state categorically that the next version is off topic

A: Borderline off-topic (development version)

Luis AlvaradoIt 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.

@AvinashRaj Newton. I forgot his first name..
Sir Isac Newton.
That's right!
@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.
@jrg ;P
16:37
Which law of him attracts you the most? @Seth
@AvinashRaj The third I suppose
My favourite one Every action has an equivalent and opposite reaction
@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.
Oli
Oli
@Braiam Say what again. I dare you. (But seriously, don't pick an edit war with a grumpy moderator)
16:39
@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.
@terdon Our policies are... different. but there's a reason behind every one of them :)

Q: Is 14.04 still offtopic?

FischerI'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?

Hah, lol, talk about timing!

16:49
@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?
Eh.. what?
Oli
Oli
It's a change that happened in 14.04. I'd just upgraded to 14.04. Everybody who's going to ask is going to search for 14.04.

Q: How do I turn on workspaces? (Why do I only have one workspace in 13.04?)

Bo Dang RenIt 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?

Oli
Oli
It couldn't be any more about 14.04 if it wanted to be.
we've always preseeded the site with questions before release
@Oli still, doesn't explain the tag "Only use this tag if your question is version-specific."
not version specific
The question is version specific. Versions higher than 14.04 will have this change.
Oli
Oli
It is version specific. It's a change brought in through a specific release.

"How do I turn on workspaces in 14.04?" "How do I turn on workspaces in 13.04?" "How do I turn on workspaces in 13.10?" why add a tag?
I don't understand what the problem is
is the same methodology for each of them
why narrow it down?
Oli
Oli
So what?!
@Oli why narrow it down?
@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."
