I'm very sorry for the confusing title. Please edit it if you can find a better way to express the question.
So, the basic idea is that Person 1 is the OP, and Person 2 is the answerer.
Let's say the question is:
How do I open Terminal Quickly?
I have been looking for an easy way or short-cut...
Maybe the systemkernel don't work with your wifi-firmware
try it to make a hosyap
and compile the two into the kernel
it's a hell of a job
First install the newest driver and firmware in windows
you can check the compatibility from the wifi chipset and the used kenel of your ubuntu-versions

I used to have a problem with this notebook where I would forcefully power it off and it wouldn't turn back on unless I disconnected the power, removed the battery, and let it sit for a few minutes.
I was told that computers with more than 2 gig's memory need a 64 bit operating system to utilize all RAM.
Is the 64bit Ubuntu download really JUST for AMD processors? I am asking because the disk image I downloaded says AMD64.
So will my new Intel 2.3Ghz Core i3 Dual Core processor work with 6...
What is the difference between standard i386 download and the amd64 download of Ubuntu 11.04? I am currently running the i386 on an amd machine, would my system work better with the amd64 download instead? (my machine was running Windows 7 64bit, but I neglected to look at that prior to installin...
Almost finished writing a super-flexible Qt class that manages the loading/storing/generating of RSA and DSA keys... and it uses a preprocessor definition to determine whether to use any GUI classes (like progress dialogs, etc.) or use the console (prompt the user to unlock the key via STDIN, etc.).
Formatting a SD card using the disk utility fails with an error message

From the drop down menu, select "Format Disk"
maintain the default setting and select Format
Acknowledge warnings
After format process has been going for a while, the error message shown above pops up

@OliveTwist o/ was just confirming if there is such an option under System Settings...
because there's a posted answer that says Go to System Settings then Window Behavior and I don't think there is such a thing but I can't be sure cos I'm not on Quantal, that is why I was asking dino
Go to your System Settings > Window Behavior > Task Switcher
I had this problem with the 12.10 beta 2, although I don't know precisely why it behaved that way, here is how to fix it.
Go to your System Settings > Window Behavior > Task Switcher
Now, on the right side, under the heading "Filter Windows By", the Minimization setting should either be set to...

Please vote more; both up and down.
Why you should all (ok, almost all) vote more:
Admittedly, when it comes to voting, I'm a bit like the porcupine in the Dilbert cartoon at the end of this post...

In Ubuntu, is it possible to attach one window to another window (so that one window becomes the "parent window" of the other window)? I'd like to know if it's possible to do this for any two open windows (for example, a Firefox browser window and a gedit window).
When I pull the swich right, it goes back to left..!

I tried to install Precise from DVD media and got to the point where the Ubuntu logo is on screen indicating the the installer is loading. At that point the screen went dark. After some time I rebooted the machine. To my dismay the machine would no longer start (Powers on but but no bios start up...
By Thursday I had accumulated 60 hours. They gave me Friday off. I've written an app from scratch to finish in 3 days - it has tons of bugs - and launched 4 apps in the last week.
It's been a test of what i'm capable of, and not losing my mind
outside of work, i haven't had a life - so yesterday was nice. I bought a Keureg and am enjoying "designer" coffee
i was looking for a cheaper alternative to the usrp (since it started at a $375 kit at origination, then they keep discontinuing and releasing "new versions" that are now $1300 entry level)
Whenever I use the package manager, it can only ever find really old versions of stuff. Example:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql
The best it can do is version 8.4 (3 years out of date). Trying to get a later version, I get:
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1

As of today I only knew about ubuntu-bug which I could use to report bugs about a specific program. But now I learned about apport-collect and apport-bug which basically are:

@lazyPower anything with an fpga starts at 200 or so...after that i don't really know where the money goes since transmit and receive stuff is on daughterboards...
i still have to reconstitute desktop parts and find meaningful work...not $200 in coffee in my forseeable future. i do know a guy that buys whole bean fair trade coffee in 50lb bags for cheap(it's good, but you wind up with a freezer full of coffee)
:/ i'm going to need quite a few things...i might be starting over if the HD is dead (someone did me the service of removing the HD retaining screws before giving it to ups...)
I could make a statement to that, but i wont feed it. Occupy was a total complete and utter failure on the make a change front, other than raising awareness.
Should this be closed as too localized now? I sort of feel we should keep it open, but it does seem like it's too localized to the extent to which it's on topic.
Fresh install on Asus P7T deluxe. Which has twin NIC's onboard. Both cards have cables attached to a switch with IP's from DHCP and a valid route to the internet.
