http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com guidelines and check if your idea has been posted already! ]]> en-us Tue, 07-Oct-2008 00:00:00 UTC Tue, 07-Oct-2008 00:00:00 UTC QAPoll module http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/6416/ a)Files have been edited when the system was shutdown.
b)Files in a users home directory have been edited more recently then the last time they logout

a simple message like
"files have been modified since the system was last successful shutdown/logout, click to see details"
would cover the fact that it will be triggered in the event of a crash. clicking for details could then trigger a more detailed analysis.

There are obviously security flaws with this, an attacker can spoof the file edit times, an attacker would be able to disable the reporting system, etc, but some security would be gained against simple attacks (like logging in at recovery mode, or using a live CD)

It seems quite obvious to me, the project is very much focused on one and only distro, its first baby : ubuntu.
And it shows. Kubuntu web site looks quite poor and unprofessional compared to ubuntu. Most graphic choices like the kdm default theme (even if it's supposed to be a matter of taste) look, again, unprofessional. And finally the whole distro doesn't seem to have the same amount of attention when it comes to details (one example among others: the little thing on ubuntu warning the user about the existence of proprietary drivers for display which does not exist on kubuntu).
I've been told once, like a year ago, by an ubuntu dev that the situation is such because the project doesn't feel like fragmenting its market share.
Whatever is the official position of the project, I don't think you should do things half way.
The Kde project is itself in full evolution with Kde 4. It does deserve full support from ubuntu.

Thank you for reading.

As well, I noticed in the forums a way to use Bluetooth from proximity of your cellphone in order to lock and unlock your screen lock, and I think that should be built right into Ubuntu rather than having people do all the manual work to add this. Therefore, one could lock or unlock the screen lock with Bluetooh, the sound technique, or manual password, and they could choose multiple options there or just one option for one kind of action, such as bluetooth or manual password to unlock, but sound to lock.

The counter-argument to this would be that it could cause an element of uncertainty, but I do not feel that avoiding this should come at the expense of being able to change your mind.

This is great when you have a folder with different types of files (JPG, MPG, DOC) and you want see the content of the files quickly without open many applications (Eog, Totem, OpenOffice Writer in this case)
You can look how this work in Mac OS X on here, here and here.

The majority of people use a webmail service, so having a calendar that can sync with major web calendars (eg Google Calendar, Windows Live Calendar), that is easy to add and remove events to, to add alarms and notifications and to be able to do all of this without opening an email application would be fantastic, I think.

Thanks for the oppurtunity to be heard.

These (LVM & MD) should be incorporated into the live installer (Ubiquity) and further there should be an easy option for having a separate root (/) and home (/home) partition on installation.

There are a few significant benefits to this, not least of which is the ability to easily reinstall the OS (or install a different derivative or even different distro) without losing the valuable data in /home.

Other benefits include resilience (from MD), easy partition resizing (from LVM), and better space management, making it so that a full /home partition does not affect the system as a whole (as / would not be full).

web
ssh
mail
database
vpn
dhcp
ldap
dns

Some of these are easier than others but I have seen very little work on this front and I think it will help win over windows admins.
