Firefox 3 has the ability to add search engines to the Search bar for a wide variety of sites. These widgets let you search the specific site without first going there. Launchpad needs one of these widgets. Otherwise you have to first go to Launchpad, then perform your search.

Also, Firefox 3 allows you to select text and search in the currently selected site which would improve the ability to find things on Launchpad immensely. Imagine coming across something on Brainstorm that you're pretty sure has a bug filed already but it wasn't included in the idea yet. You could highlight the appropriate text, make sure LP was the selected search widget, then right click and search Launchpad for it. The search would open in a new tab, allowing you to still have the Brainstorm tab open. That's what a LP search widget would provide, and if it were referenced in the LP HTML code (which shouldn't be that hard to do once the widget were made) then to discover it all someone would have to do is check their list of search engines while on Launchpad and it's availability would be shown for easy installation.

those ideas that are already implemented about
brainstorm,doesnt make sense to keep them,also increases
space for others,after implementation this idea too

Please write a program for C++ and Java similiar to Deplhi for Pascal.

Automatix is buggy and can even break the system, dispite that, many people still use it because it is a simple and easy way to install many useful stuff...
Sure people can just install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras, but automatix is much more easy to use for people still learning linux, besides, it includes some programs not even in ubuntu repositories...
An alternative made by Canonical would be very nice.

[edit] Automatix is no longer supported on ubuntu!
It was one of the main reasons newbies used ubuntu, I think this makes it even important to develop a good alternative!

Please, make the repositories hold all the applications I like, even if they are proprietary and it is illegal to include them.

The reason I am being downvoted is definitely related to people not deciding the vote correctly, because they focus on aspects of my suggestions that are not the priority. This is the reason Ubuntu ought to ignore all the negative votes I am getting since it is obvious that people are downvoting me for the wrong reason.

I am definitely a perfect example of what every person out there wants in a desktop, this is the reason Ubuntu should specifically implement the theme I want for default, I don't like the current theme to be the default but one with more black for selection and white for the rest.

The theme I am talking about will obviously please everyone, a lot of users go away to other OSes after noticing I don't like the default theme.

Many new users are confused when it comes to the installation of Ubuntu.

They didn't know they need a swap partition, and they're not sure what size it should be, and how to set it up.
They think its difficult to setup partitions and often don't understand how partitions work and the difference between primary and extended partitions.

Swap partitions have limitations, such as a constant size and can't be resized.

Using a swap file instead of a swap partition, would save users lots of hassle by not having them have to setup swap partitions, etc.

As a bonus, it would allow us to resize them anytime we want/need.

I don't know if this is possible/worth it,but at least here in Romania,Yahoo Messenger is being used by absolutely everyone.It's a big pain in the *** to use Pidgin.Sure,it can send (and recieve!)files now,but webcam,photo share and other features are missing.GYachI looks promising,but it's interface scares the user out.

Can't Canonical make a partnership with Yahoo to at least get part of the code,in order to make a compatible Yahoo messenger client for Linux/Unix?

I don't really care if the final product(if it will exist) will be GPL'ed or not,I just want to use it(as I use Skype,but unfortunately that's not so popular,only 3 contacts in my list)

Sorry for my preety crappy english

Totem's design really sucks... The icon, the image showing when nothing's playing, not being able to minimize to tray...

I think totem (or an alternative) should become a simple resource-cheap do-it-all alternative to WMP in Windows (is not the best for anything, but it can do most of things)

At least when it comes to music, video, streaming... Looking nice, mini-player, integration with brasero and cd-ripping soft included in ubuntu...

Add a link to the sidebar showing Brainstorm ideas with the lowest scores, like the Most Popular but in reverse.

Let us all have a laugh, and learn from our mistakes.



(...this is a joke... but go on, vote for it...)

Ubuntu should should branch out its installation mediums with builds featuring built in kernel support and optimizations for newer Intel (Core 2) and AMD (Athlon 64 x2, Turion 64 x2) processors. Installation mediums should be made available for x86 and x86_64 architectures.

An alternative to this would be to add a prompt to the installation process asking (or auto-detecting) basic processor information. For example "Which best describes your computers processor?". Available answers should include newer Intel and AMD processors, or the option to select "I don't know", which will then either install an optimized or basic kernel.

While I realize that the average Ubuntu install is fast, flexable, and will "just work" on nearly any PC, there is a select user base that will benefit from the enhanced instruction sets that an optimized kernel can provide these chipsets.

While users are able to build, customize, and compile their own kernels, this can be very taxing, time consuming, and confusing to the average user and adding to that, bug reports submitted via platforms with custom kernels are rejected.

I'd be nice if ubuntu had an aplication or mode that alowed windows or mac programs to work in ubuntu- I do alot of projects with people who still use windows- it gets difficult to work with them when I can't edit, or even open an office document on ubuntu, this would bridge a gap for more people to use ubuntu

maybe I'd rather switch to root in my terminal session than enter 'sudo' a thousand times.

This is a huge time waster for me, especially since I just came from Gentoo Linux and I've made terminal a part of my daily life. I understand that a user should be protected from one's self. But, come on.

if($totalvote == '0') $totalvote = 1;
$vote = $totalvote-$downvote;
$present = ($vote*100)/$totalvote;


Example :
Total vote:(Unknown) eg: 200
Down vote: 165


Result = 18%

Users almost always move the mouse toward
the center of a menu before continuing. This is a strategy in menu browsing,
and eliminating the need for it could subconsciously make the interface feel
more usable. Why not center menus under the mouse rather than the traditional
method of drawing it right of the mouse? The one exception for this of
course, would be if centering a menu under a mouse would interfere with the
visibility of the menu.

many videos are with subtitles from windows. better choice is set this to default.

Pidgin with Webcam support and Skype and Ekiga. I am well aware this is going to be difficult

When it comes time for a install and you have to do partitioning, it needs to be a lot easier. GRUB also has to go. There is just way to many risk when using it. A Ubuntu developed solution that is bug free would be great.
