The world clock in Ubuntu seems to be behind times little bit.
It shows the city Mumbai by the name of Bombay. Bombay got renamed in 1999. So as you can see the Clock isn't lagging by much!
Also many Indian cities haven't had their names updated. These names were changed even before Ubuntu began.
Tere are many other important world cities whose names havent been updated. Plz do it since it doesnt create a good impression about Ubuntu. It is throurghly unprofessional!

Earlier this year when I tried to install Hardy with wubi it gave an error saying 'atleast 256 MB required for the installer'. Now my PC has 256 MB so, this error seemed fishy.This will keep away new users of Ubuntu who wanted to try Ubuntu because of Wubi.
Wubi can run on less than 256MB Ram so remove the check. If I didn't have internet I wouldn't have been able to use Ubuntu.
To run Wubi on less than 256MB RAM do this:

I have noticed that as compared to other OS (Win + Mac) softwares for Ubuntu always have large size. Eg. Firefox 3 for Win-7.2 Mb; for Ubuntu- 9.5 Mb
Opera for Win- 5to6 Mb; for Ubuntu- 7.5 Mb
Plz use better compression algorithms so that Linux users don't have to download more than there Windows brethen

I read some where that the shut down menu will be changed in Ibex. Plz don't do that. The current one is one of the best looking one. They will replace it with one pland "error message type" box with 3 options.
Plz stop them!!!

We all know Microsoft and Google are at odds. Imagine an allince between 3 of our favourite thing which can power ahead. With Google's support more and more people will be enticed to try Ubuntu. Also Canonical can do with cash to hire more coders to make Ubuntu even better!

In windows people are accustomed to download a single .exe files and double click it to install it. In Ubuntu we use Synaptic. Sure synaptic is good. I have slow speed so I save those .deb files to install things later. I am sure many people do that. Now the problem is, most Ubuntu softwares like VLC, comprise of 4-5 .deb files this makes it tough to install software manually. If there are single source files for Windows and Macs I am sure, single files can be created for Ubuntu too.

In windows while using firefox or any other browser if say I click on the address bar the complete address is selected. In Ubuntu if I click on the adrress bar it doesnt select it completely. Rather it only places the cursor there. Normally this isn't a problem. But I use the awesome bar a lot and I like the windows functionality. I click once on the address bar (this deletes the previous entry) and type what i want. In Ubuntu I have to right click>select all> then type

1 out of 4 times when I login to my Ubuntu (Hardy). It comes to a black screen with the sentence
"type help for a list of commands"
When I type help I get a list of 30 odd words
Ubuntu doesnt load. The problem goes on restart.

Amarok is avaiable in Kubuntu but not in Ubuntu, plz put it in place of Rhythmbox also install Wine too.
