UPDATE ! Please read: jaolt does support almost every auction platform and is NOT only focussed on ebay. !
If you do not like ebay, please suggest another platform to integrate, instead of voting down. Thank you very much :)

The Java Auction Organisation and Listing Tool ("jaolt") allows the users to create and organize their auctions for eBay and Auvito (more to come) offline as well as list the created auctions without using a website.
After the auction is created offline you could send it to Ebay or Auvito whenever you want.

hello,
it just an idea. but I think it should be improved the fire paint.destruct your desktop, when you are moody.
for example make a hole in the desktop or carbonized the icons. when you push super+shift+c that recomposed the desktop and the icons.

and improved the fire

some pictures for example:

This is total pie in the sky but it would be great to see some kind of partnership with the big gaming companies such as EA, Blizzard, Bethesda or some such where we could actually work with them in bringing their outstanding game releases to our platform.

Renew ip address
flush DNS
Etc

On the power management preferences screen it would be nice if the "Blank screen" option actually put the screen to sleep (turn the back-light off).

When I close the lid on my laptop I see no reason for the back-light to stay on. And, for me, having the screen turn off when I close the lid is preferable to putting the laptop into standy or hybernate.

In todays computer systems the main bottleneck is not CPU but disk access which is several orders of magnitude slower than CPU and memory. In such circumstances the way to improve application performance is to prefetch data it needs from disk before it even requests it and it is the point of prefetching techniques. This speeds up boot and decreases the time needed to start programs. This replaces and it is faster than the currently used readahead.

Ubuntu uses a known bad NTFS-3g driver in it's repositories.
Please keep Ubuntu up to date, since this might (and does) cause data loss, especially on mobile, NTFS formatted hard drives.

Here's a link to ntfs-3g forum thread that verifies this
http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/viewtopic.php?t=797

Many games feature the ability to play with other people. However, the first thing the game will check for is to see if it is currently up to date. When Ubuntu enters version freeze, the games fall out of date, and it can be harder to play them online without finding a 3rd party update or compiling it yourself (Freeciv, Scorched3D, and Battle for Wesnoth to name a few). This also creates issues when different distributions freeze at different times, so it can be hard to play with other Linux users.

Ubuntu should provide a repository for up to date games for games that will always need the latest version to play online.

I've got two monitors, and right now if I use the wallpaper settings in gnome it stretches the wallpaper across the two monitors. It does this even for the default ubuntu wallpaper. This can look really bad depending on the image. In order to get around this I had to get two wallpaper images and join them into one large one with the GIMP and set that as my wallpaper.

There should be a way in gnome to set a different wallpaper for each monitor.

==== Merged with ideas of a similar scope: Different wallpapers on different workspace ===

Many workspaces option in Linux allows you to separate your work, why not allow users to have different wallpapers on each workspace. This allows for easier identification of which workspace you are on.
When used with compiz-fusion you can rapidly switch between your workspaces and the different wallapaper will allow you to quickly recognise what desktop you are on.

Currently this is natively available in KDE but not in Gnome. In Gnome you can't even let Compiz take over the wallpaper control because Nautilus doesn't allow for transparent backgrounds.

Other solutions like Wallpapoz are slow and when switching between desktops it takes too long to switch WP.

Include Compiz Fusion Manager by default

When I chat on #ubuntu with Pidgin, and someone say "hey, join #ubuntu-social its nice place", then I want to double-click on #ubuntu-social in his sentence to join it.
So I don't have to type /join #ubuntu-social

Please, add feature, so that channels that people mention on IRC in Pidgin becomes clickable, so you can join them by click on them.

Pleeeeeease make an Ubuntu Media Center. I'd love to move my server over to Ubuntu but there are no good Media Center for it, so I'm stuck on Windows. :(

Audio/Video/Pictures support would be the bare minimum needed, but TV Tuner support/Web Browser/RSS Reader/whatever else you guys want would be excellent as well.

I know theres already an Ubuntu MC project (which is dead I think?), but it was going off in more of a FrontRow direction, where as I was kinda hoping Ubuntu could implement a proper MC like MCE or MediaPortal.

Right-click:
Print content as thumbnails
Print content as documents

While viewing the contents of the directory as thumbnails (specifically images & videos), I often need to print those thumbnails (with various info: file-name, size, dpi, date modified etc.)

Currently, that's not easy with Konqueror or Dolphin.

It would be nice to right-click on an empty area of the folder and select "print folder as thumbnails" and then I can select the level of detail I need printed at that time (image only, or image + file-name + date + size, print)

The next bit is automated batch printing of each individual file

Or right-click "print folder contents" then brings up the options dialog and I can filter by file-type &/or by date or matching a string, click "print" and the OS then prints all files without you having to manually open each file and print.

Because of active development of Netbeans IDE we need more often updates. For example, last patch available for NetBeans 6.0.1 (2008-02-20) but in repository only Netbeans 5.5

Ubuntu is a very nice distribution. But I think Ubuntu would be better when every one who like to develop on it can do this.
I think there must be more developers, who work on Ubuntu.
I think there are very much people who want to be a developer of Ubuntu.
The system must develop from many people and not only from the Canonical developers. Then there can be make more features in new ubuntu versions.
I think Ubuntu has very much good features, but it is very slowly and sometimes I think it could be a Windows OS.
When Ubuntu could be a project like openSuse or Debian, developed from more then the Canonical developers Ubuntu could be a very very good Linux distribution

Is it possible for a computer to have only RAM plus an extremely little HDD and OS, in order to any individual use as HDD a simple stick? I think that any future OS should be able to boot from memory sticks. Also, I think that the next desirable OS's will be very slender. So:
ANY IMPROVEMENT FOR THE NEXT UBUNTU OS MUST BE - FIRST OF ALL - USEFUL, THEN SLENDER AND, FINALLY, IT SHOULD BE EASILY TAKEN AWAY, BOOTABLE ON ANY COMPUTER. Maybe, the next public computers could be used with (any kind of) simple memory stick.

That the Ubuntu Brainstorm was a fantastic idea nobody doubts, the more it is accessible only to people who speak English. I think every parent, or should have yours. China, Germany, France, Brazil, Italy, Arabic, Greek, and other non-English-speaking countries.

That would be great, because everyone could participate suggesting their ideas without the limitation of language. It would also be very good for Canonical know what users think of each country.

If the Ubuntu distro wants to be an international, and be dedicated to all with simplicity. It should eliminate this barrier.

I suggest that initially the countries below has its own Ubuntu Brainstorm.

Brazil
Russia
Japan
Greece
Italy
Spain
Germany
China
Korea
France
Netherlands
Arab Countries

When I first started using Ubuntu, the way I heard about it was several links down in a google search for "linux". This is exemplary of the poor exposure that Ubuntu has. We need to spread public awareness about the operating system, through media outlets, online campaigns, and possible tv/radio/billboard spots.

I think that the best place to start would be online campaigns, especially a series of official videos on youtube and other video sites. These should focus less on technical specs and the benefits of open-source, and more on the benefits of switching from Windows while retaining the ability to preform daily tasks. This will be targeting the main bulk of computer users: Microsoft customers who want to email, type, web browse, and don't like paying for an OS. Other facets of this campaign should include spreading the word about Ubuntu to non-tech oriented, high traffic website (myspace, yahoo), getting Ubuntu back as #1 on distrowatch.com, and creating guides in layman's terms so that non tech-savvy people can understand how to preform simple tasks. For example, don't tell people to open xorg.conf; tell them to type in the terminal 'sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf'.
Doing all of this will require a re-mobilization of the Ubuntu marketing team, several people to design a professional looking marketing video, and structure. Once more momentum is generated, the media will be apt to catch on to the trend. However, we want to make sure at all costs that this is positive exposure. Anything negative (eg. Ubuntu is for geeks only) could immensely hurt our image. Physical advertising is harder to get together, but if someone can find an investor, this could be very possible.
A final idea would be to push for Ubuntu in school systems. I know that where I live, the schools are forced to run Windows 2000 because of slow computers and no funds. Ubuntu could both free funds for education and implant knowledge about the system into children, our future consumer base.
Comment back with any ideas on how to improve this.

edit: We are now #1 on Distrowatch! Also, here is a great example of a promotional video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLHjT5-XM9o

I can't say that I have seen a way to donate money to Ubuntu's development, but there definitely should bee a way too do so..

My idea is to have a button under "About Ubuntu" where you navigate to a web page were donation is possible.
Many Ubuntu fans who don't have time or skills to contribute in other ways would like this option.

Yeah, 'MySQL, Apache, & PHP' installed by default for servers.
