It would be nice if a package of it was present in the repositories. It would be greater if it was automatically installed with the Qt4 libraries and KDE4.

It couldn't be worse! We cannot kill this process because cannot open terminal or system monitor.

This situation is very irritating.

When people install Ubuntu, their e-mail client such as Evolution, Thunderbird, KMail and IM clients such Pidgin comes with presets.

So they can login to MSN from Pidgin via address like user@ubuntu.net.
They can also use it to login on Jabber/XMPP.

It also works like an OpenID, so you can use it to login on Brainstorm, Launchpad, and perhaps some bugzillas and perhaps SourceForge.net and Freshmeat.net.

Basically setup an Jabber/XMPP gateway, a e-mail server, and an OpenID provider, so that every Ubuntu/Linux can get a user@ubuntu.net address that he can use to access mail, login to websites and chat on MSN and Jabber/XMPP.

But it would be also useful to have the keywords "Idea #XXXXX" interpreted as a link:
Then I could write just "Idea #10660" or "idea 10660"
and it would automatically appear as "Idea #10660"
without the <a href="...">foo</a> tags.

Same could be done with "bug #XXXX"
I like cross - linking.

http://launchpad.net and http://bugs.kde.org does this fine.

Or there are other ways to get extended characters. A simple C program could print the 256 chars with their codes. Maybe there should be a command 'chars' that does just that. Then you could copy paste the chars you need.

I think it would be good to have additionally the possibility to answer with 'y' and 'n'

or - at least in dialogs where there is no other keyboard interaction possible - let me press JUST the underlined letter, without the Alt key, to speed up my workflow.

This of course should be systemwide, additionally to the normal hot keys, and standardized.
e.g.
y -> yes
n -> no
s -> save
ESC -> Cancel (already works in most of the dialogs)

This feature is really useful in quickly determining if a page into which I enter my personal info (login name, password etc.) is secure. Now I have to be alert enough to always keep an eye on some small icons which don't come to attention easily.

This feature can be restored, but its not straightforward and needs some tweaking of internals. Please bring this feature back, at least on the Ubuntu version.

I bet a lot of users are off-line right now, it is urgent to fix this as soon as possible.

No attachments. ]]> Sat, 05-Jul-2008 00:00:00 UTC http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/10606/ http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/10557/ I know it is possible to use the different desktops, but I like to have things in one screen and drag-and-drop them from left to right on the taskbar.

Next to this, it is not possible to make the taskbar "double". Meaning, that when you have a lot of windows they are in two rows in the taskbar. This is possible with ms windows, but not in gnome.

Something i do miss however, and NEED, is an EQ!!!

I have a razer barracuda sound card, which i can't find drivers for anything but windows, and using the supplied software i cwas able to controll universal EQ and volume, audio inputs and audio outputs, including switching from analog to digital including optical.

To be able to use my home theater system to its full potential, i really need a universal eq additional to the...very limited volume control (really needs some upgrading), and some options to switch from optical to other forms of output etc.


This is really really important as no applications seem to have adequate eq's and a universal eq would make everything simpler, and make ubuntu even more competitive to the other inferior OS's.

Please make EQ's, and...make the world a better place, for you and for me, and the rest of hum...audiophiles around the world.

-rw-r--r-- for a file or
drwxr-xr-x for a directory.
Every user has his own group by default, so the disturbing thing is the file is

world readable.

I suggest setting a safer umask (not the default 0022), to prevent others from reading private files.

Use Case:
You have an older or out-dated Ubuntu CD and with it you can install the latest Ubuntu release. The option is only visible if the LiveCD is able to connect to the internet for downloading the files.

So don't have to burn a new CD with every release. The installation will not take longer than installing an out-dated version and updateing from there.
If a feature like this was included you would be able to boot you Gusty, Feisty (just an example) LiveCD and click the icon on the desktop "Install latest release" an enjoy the installation process on Hardy.

I hope my idea is thoroughly explained - if not, please ask!

(I should perhaps mention that a USB installation tool is planed for 8.10)

I suggest a screensaver that helps brand Ubuntu, like for example the "Floating Ubuntu" screensaver. It could also be a textbased screensaver that could run on older machines witch doesn't support 3D.
