Wanted to see if I could get my webcam working on ubuntu, to check the LED was coming on when plugged into the USB port - I put it to my ear and was dissapointed II didn't hear anything
I've been using Ubuntu 12.04 since it was released last April. (I upgraded to 12.10 in October.)
Suddenly it began running very very poorly, acting as if I was using too much RAM or saturating my CPU. The system monitor and top did not seem to confirm this; I was only using about 30% of my RAM a...
@Myranda well there you have it. We now have conclusive evidence that the Chinese were here first than the sun, in fact, most likely constructed the sun.
lsb_release gets its information from /etc/lsb-release, provided by package base-files, while gnome-control-center simply displays the PNG file at /usr/share/gnome-control-center/ui/UbuntuLogo.png, which is distributed in package gnome-control-center-data.
Check which gnome-control-center-data ...
The new "damaged" generation has changed so many words to some horrible shorter versions that when talking to some of those younger aliens, I don't even know what the hell they are saying
I came across a user with low rep but a gold famous question badge and was curious. It seems his question (the only one he has) was marked as a duplicate of the actual famous question.
This seems to be some kind of loophole.

I've seen (and answered) quite a few questions on changing key 'A' to do key 'B' or make key 'A' do 'So and so' etc. I was thinking it might be a good idea to have a general canonical question for remapping key bindings.
If it's a good idea, we should get someone to ask the question.
Some pr...
It would be good, I all with any questions that try to simplify and centralize others that are very similar. Like the broadcom one I did, minecraft or nvidia,compiz ones.
The more the better, because users can find the answer quickly instead of reading 100 similar questions and testing each one
@Seth Post your question... I would do the research and if it looks like I can post a decent answer, I would give it a shot.... Anyways, someone else would pitch in and provide the alternative answers...
In the light of some similar questions I have received, I took the liberty of creating a simple question that addresses this which are:
Why does Unity depend on Gnome and to what point is the dependency required?
Why is a specific version of Gnome used for a specific Version of Ubuntu (Let's sa...
So I installed KDE to give it a nice go, and while I enjoyed it for those few days, many parts of it annoyed me, therefore I went back to Unity. I proceeded to remove KDE and all of its apps (at which I was successful) I failed at getting rid of its configs. Now my Firefox looks like it did under...

@EliahKagan Um. Right. ;-) I just was surprised to see my chat comments come up in search. Some sites are a bit more granular in what they allow to index and chat(in all SE) generates a lot of noise. No big deal. Just an observation.
@Seth They're probably violating our copyrights. They're probably not breaking the SE TOS, since they are probably not a party to it, as they probably obtained the data from a data dump torrent. Of course, I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.Related.
There are a number of license-violating clones of Stack Exchange sites popping up that use SE's cc-wiki data without following our Creative Commons attribution terms. Those terms are linked at the bottom of every SE webpage, and are also included as a .txt file in every data dump we produce.

I see 12 Flags "awaiting review", all 22 hours old.
I am in no hurry - I am concerned by the possibility that something might be broken.
