The examples folder NEEDS to be replaced. Most of us probably ignore it but have you seen it lately? It doesn't matter because it hasn't really changed! It contains an ancient video that looks like it could have been shot with a handheld camcorder, a speex file which just says "This is a librivox recording" blah blah blah, some ogg file of saxophones which isn't bad but could be better, and a bunch other miscellaneous files.

Fade out audio on stop, pause and exit in audio players such as Rhythmbox (and possibly others).

So I listen to music in Rhythmbox, and I close rhythmbox, or press "stop" button, and instantly the music stops.
Goes from 80 decibels to 0 decibels in an instant!

Now, this isn't nice.

Make it instead "fade it out", so the volume goes down to none over the time of a second.
So it doesn't abrupt so hard. So it gently caresses my ears...

This would enhance the user experience of Ubuntu by making it more tranquil, relaxing and calm.

scrolling with the middle mouse button in Firefox  
Written by jiu the 17 Mar 08 at 11:00. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
In windows, you can scroll by clicking and dragging the middle mouse button in the direction you want to scroll. In Ubuntu, Firefox tries to open a non-existent hyperlink and gives you an error message.

It would be nice to get the scrolling thing working!

Remove orphaned apps via Synaptic  
Synaptic should warn about auto-removable packages (#113247)

Right now when an application is installed in Synaptic, all the dependencies of the application are automatically installed. However, when the same application is uninstalled, only the application itself is uninstalled by Synaptic; all the dependencies of the application that were automatically installed by Synaptic are left intact.

The only way to remove the automatically installed dependencies is to run sudo apt-get autoremove from the command line.

Synaptic should provide an option to remove the automatically installed dependencies that were installed with an application when that application is being uninstalled using Synaptic.

Having a user drop to the command line to achieve this is not acceptable especially for new users.

apt-get autoremove command completion  
Written by rumli the 19 Mar 08 at 14:07. Category: Installation. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
We have command completion for "apt-get remove", but not yet for "apt-get autoremove" (which I use more that "apt-get remove"). Should be easy to fix since it should have the same behavior as "apt-get remove".

Clarification: I am talking about completing the package name, not the word "autoremove". For example, when Bob types "sudo apt-get autoremove firef" and then presses TAB, the command should complete the "firef" to "firefox".

Firefox Profile Debianizer  
Written by JYC the 7 Mar 08 at 20:59. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
There should be a program that saves your extensions, themes, bookmarks, and maybe plugins into a .deb file, but it "cleans" the private data so its JUST those (and maybe history if you'd like). You'll also get an option to install for the entire system or for just yourself.

Other name for a Ubuntu versions  
Written by rafa_pradella the 5 Mar 08 at 18:14. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Ok,the next Ubuntu is called Hardy Heron,the others is called
Feisty Fawn (oh,my god) Gusty Gibbon (gosh!) Edgy Eft (blargh!)

It isnt a good marketing for a Ubuntu, it isnt had a security for a user, it isnt had a professional face.
(I am a marketing analisator)

Had better names cause these names is ridiculous

Or some use this codenames for beta versions
