Great answer: Does Ubuntu generally post timely security updates? http://askubuntu.com/questions/119274/does-ubuntu-generally-post-timely-security-updates/119287?atw=1#119287 #security
@MarcoCeppi: Just out of curiosity... would you ever use a VNC charm? For example - just now you've asked about testing something on 12.04. If we had a charm for something like TightVNC, then you could simply fire up an instance, and connect to it.
@William - I use 2 tools to recover files all the time, the normal photorec which comes with testdisk and foremost. I use foremost only because it recovers some additional files that for the moment the version of photorec at least the version I am using in 11.10 does not recover. But in general both are good although photore is amazing.

@lazyPower I don't. I "fix" most of the packages to work on mainline. Been tossing about the idea of putting together a repo of packages from BT tweaked to not completely bork the mainline menu-system
i dont either but i tried to make the edit more "help me debug" which in turn could help newbs with update issues.
ICMP isn't port specific
ICMP (ping, trace)is a layer 3 protocol suite within the TCP/IP suite, doesnt test any layer 4 or above functions, therefore, it has no TCP/UDP layer 4 port number. The sub protocols within it do. You can block echo replies by closing port 7. That is how you get to be not pinged on the net.
that last bit was a bit of an extended paste
the first half of that quote is correct. closing port 7 does not block echo requests.

Great answer: What has Ubuntu contributed to the Linux Kernel? http://askubuntu.com/questions/117757/what-has-ubuntu-contributed-to-the-linux-kernel/118007?atw=1#118007 #kernel
@jokerdino - You've been coming back with this same issue over and over again. If you have high latency, things generally are going to fail. I don't know that saying "I can't download diagnostic tools" is the right response to "You need better diagnostic tools"
I've seen your ping fail complaint twice in a day. When people say try this other thing, your answer is I don't have/can't get that because my updates are broken due to latency. It sounds a lot like an intentional circular logic problem
If anyone present thinks I'm out of line please step up and tell me so. I'll just stop. I'm just saying what it looks like to me.

I have Linux Mint 12 Gnome desktop, everything was normal yesterday. I shut my PC down yesterday and went to sleep, I turned it on today, and see what happened
You see how everything is messed up? The desktop normally should look like this. I tried to switch between the classic Gnome and the o...
I believe that appropriately tagging questions that are actually answered are far more important than those that are waiting to be answered. I will list down some of the points on why I think so.
- It makes the questions and answers much more easily discoverable and that is never a bad thing.
- It makes it much easier to track the various duplicates.
- We have quite a huge number of duplicates that are yet to be closed, which we aren't doing the site any good by leaving open. I guess no one disagrees on that.
I'm just posting this as a proxy for jokerdino. He can't post because of internet problems, but we both agree this needs to get out now.

@AmithKK not sure how that would help: if you enter a time machine and you are one age, once you step out you will be that same age... I mean what would be the purpose of a time machine that allows you to travel 1000 years in to the future if that kills you???
