I just find I can draw with inkskape, and GIMP I feel like I can make bad clip art. It also bothers me that they have a bell pepper (ftw?) brush but not a star.
In this question, the person has noticed something that appears to be a bug. I first wrote an answer describing how to report a bug in the program and PPA he noticed. Then, as I noticed this problem myself, I reported it as a bug.
Should I change my answer to say that this has been reported as a...

I have created a general question (Synonyms for different languages in LibreOffice Writer?) that was closed as a duplicate of a very specific one (How do I add English-UK thesaurus in LibreOffice?).
I think that the reason for this was that the one asking for multiple solution got an answer tha...
I have stumbled into this issue in relation with situations in which a general question is flagged as duplicate of a more specific one. In such cases some answer may be common, but is not definitive in the more general case. (See here and the comments under here).
As I argued here, a more gener...
I am using Ubuntu but will crosspost to Unix/Linux 100% of my questions since I can't be 100% sure it is Ubuntu specific.
So why not merge these sections?
Guys, are 'ffmpeg' and 'avconv' iterchangeable? I mean, are they both the same thing? (and if so, is avconv supposed to replace ffmpeg sooner or later?)
@jokerdino Are you sure? 'coz when you search ffmpeg in ubuntu software center, you'll notice that ffmpeg is provided in a "transitional package" and its description states:
> This package contains the deprecated ffmpeg program. This package also serves as a transitional package to libav-tools. Users are advised to use avconv from the libav-tools package instead of ffmpeg.
when I run ffmpeg on ubuntu, it shows:
ffmpeg
ffmpeg version v0.8, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the Libav developers
built on Feb 28 2012 13:27:36 with gcc 4.6.1

The warning message from the ffmpeg program needs to be updated. It should instead say
"*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***\n"
"This program is only provided for compatibility "
"and will be removed in a future release. Please "
"use avconv instead.\n"
This is patched in Debian. See [1].
[Impact] - Users are seeing a different message everytime they run the ffmpeg program. The original message is causing confusion amongst general users of the ffmpeg who are not aware that the ffmpeg program provided in Ubuntu is the ffmpeg program originally made available from the Libav project.
[Development Fix] - Message just needs to be updated. See [1]. Note that the ffmpeg binary has been dropped completely in the development tree in libav.
[Stable Fix] - See [1].
[Test Case] - Just run the ffmpeg program. Running 'ffmpeg -L' is sufficient to see the warning. The original warning reads,
"This program is not developed anymore and is only "
"provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead "
