Bounty offered: How to create custom installer image from Ubuntu Core? http://askubuntu.com/questions/66059/how-to-create-custom-installer-image-from-ubuntu-core #custominstaller
After an upgrade of desktop and server (both) to Ubuntu 11.10, periodically the desktop is unable to perform publickey authentication with the server (-v option reveals nothing of evidently use). Using the same key from pre-11.10 and Windows partitions is successful.
"Any ideas what gives?" T...
I've done several installations of different Ubuntu versions on my machine one over the other from a CD or live usb, and now I have a mess of swap partitions (something like 10 of them), so I need to eliminate all those and create a new one.
I also need to know how to tell the system that the new...

juju is only for managing services. For the frontend user, they are pretty separated stuff. But for the internals of their working, I guess it must be overlapping
In your home should be a .vimrc file, edit that file:
vim ~/.vimrc
Add this line (or edit it) to change the size of the vim editor when opening:
set lines=80 columns=100
Adjust those values to fit your needs.
For files handling in gnome you will have to use the graphical version of vim calle...
There are people who likes some stuff and are hell-bent on fixing them (like Ubuntu and ourselves), and there are people who just to use things and just dismiss them "why won't it work?"
@htorque This is how it goes: I've got friends Facebook and MSN Messenger, yay! I've got a report to make, Microsoft Office of course! Games only work fine on Windows.
And 70% of the time on games.
Facebook is about 30%, but has moved to mostly mobile phones and stuff now.
Eh, don't tell me. It's my friends who are wasting their time gaming. While I'm wasting my time looking to make Ubuntu perfect for myself (and thinking of how to make an avatar to make a big entry into the community).
And to be honest, I don't game because I'm still stuck on a Pentium 4. Though I do get bored of games pretty easily.
@AmithKK Aw yeah, and don't I hate it! Fan controller's broken, always running at full speed. No integrated Intel. NVIDIA FX 5500, Unity doesn't work even if the blob driver is there and the test says all requirements met. Forcing Unity on and nouveau makes Unity run, but not a single icon shows on launcher.

@je2tom You did the right thing when flagging that question. If a user no longer can replicate the issue (or if they just uninstalled the program) then flagging the question to be closed as too localized is the way to go.
I am considering buying a Dell XPS 15 laptop. The laptop has a nvidia 420m card which should work with linux but I keep reading about the Nvidia optimus technology that isn't supported on Linux. I am not really interested in switching from Nvidia to intel to save power but need to know that the N...
the real problem is, that notebook vendors sell crap. if people were able to disable optimus in the bios and choose either intel or nvidia, everything would be fine.
@brunopereira81 might be a different story, but causes the same issue. if you are running intel, jockey sees nvidia and installs the blob (which creates the xorg.conf with 'nvidia' in it), next boot will be black screen.
@htorque no because the driver that is loaded by jokey in your case is the correct one for your card, in hybrid solutions there is no support yet (nvida whise at least). so the driver says nvidia and loads nvida but doesnt do anything at all.
like what i have now with optimus: intel and nouveau loaded (so the system sees both), but X uses intel. if i start jockey, it tell me to install nvidia-current. that would put 'nvidia' in the xorg.conf and my next boot would result in a new question on Ask Ubuntu :D
