@MarcoCeppi Just writing your testimonial now... I think I should stop with what I've got because I was just about to write "In many ways, Marco is the father I never had; the calm, reassuring hand of authority on your shoulder... blah blah"
@ajmitch Not yet. I had meant to apply but then I moved house and that means when I'm not running around it naked, I'm either doing the work I should have been doing while I was running around the house naked, or moderating Ask Ubuntu.
It's getting colder now so I'll probably have more time to do my work during business hours so I'll have more time to apply.
I'll need to change my testimonial :) "Marco represents the worst of Ask Ubuntu, writing an answer and then demanding that everybody sitting in our chatroom immediately votes for him. If he doesn't get enough reputation, he'll ban the next user to cross his path. He treats the site like his personal kingdom, misappropriating site funds for strippers and drugs. I'll probably have my account deleted for saying this, but somebody needs to know the truth about DictatorCeppi!"
Many users have to decide whether they want to go for Unity or Gnome-Shell. Both new desktops have their pros and cons. For me it feels like splitting the community. Therefore I'm interested to know if there are any efforts going on to combine the best of both worlds.
This is the comment I've been writing so far, what say you community of 8?
> This question is being closed, not because of it's merits as a question, but simply because it's not suitable for our format at Ask Ubuntu. It's hard to say with certainty if it is or not without having the actual authors of such a merge come forward and say so. This question also has a high potential to be flame bait.
I am trying to ask a question about getting my hardware to work but I don't know what information to add to my question to get help, what do I need to do?
Wireless Cards
Wireless connectivity issues are fortunately becoming rarer with each Ubuntu release. However problems still occur.

I know my netbook goes bonkers when I suspend it for too long, or restart it. It requires me to disable/re-enable the Wifi to work. You mentioned doing Fn+F for the touchpad, I assume you've done the same for the Wifi?
@SwapnilNarendra Either way, make sure you put your hardware information into the post. It'll help other users trying to answer the question know if they actually can :D
@MarcoCeppi Yes.. I tried to disable and re-enable but it just doesnt work.. and the interesting part is .. that when its not working.. even the wired connection is not working
@SwapnilNarendra Odd, go ahead and put the hardware information in there from the output of lspci so we know what card you're working with. What will be important to test, when it's not working run lspci again and see if the Ethernet adapter is being recognized.
@SwapnilNarendra RIght, but including that information now, what brand the card is, other hardware information, will be useful to know now - not just when it's not working.
