This issue is something I face regularly and thats why I'm posting it here.

I want a right click option on the updates in Update Manager which allows me to lock the version of a software and not update it. I know this functionality exists somewhere in Synaptic Package Manager, but still it would be convenient.

Example:
I have nvidia card on desktop and there was an intel video driver update recently, so it came up in Update Manager. I didn't want to install it obviously, so I unchecked it. But still every time I boot up, it shows new updates are available, and I see only that intel driver. If I get a 'do not update option' it would be handy.

Thanks

Installing a software by double clicking on a .deb is now really simple thanks to gdebi. But a a software installed by this method will not be able to auto update. So I propose that a .deb will be able to propose to the user to add a repository in order to stay up to date.

This can be implemented by doing a renice on any CPU-hogging processes that don't catch SIGXCPU.
This would be easy to implement, would improve responsiveness, and wouldn't break anything.
Similar functionality has been available on W*****s for some time with the ForumWare program "ProcessTamer".
This suggestion is an intentional duplicate, but with a less technical title.

Right now,when I connect an Bluetooth stick or USB Headphones,Ubuntu does nothing to show me that.I suggest something trough libnotify to show me that a bluetooth/usb headphone/ has been connected.

I mean,windows has this,it makes life easier,why couldn`t we have this?

for example i install app A and dependencies B,C and D are installed. it would be nice if synaptic could somehow provide an uninstall script for these packages if i decide not to keep A.
for example when the 'apply' screen pops up there could be a button called 'save uninstall information' or something like that which simply lets you save a file called 'uninstall_app_A.sh' and save it to wherever i want it to be saved. doubleclicking this .sh file then uninstalls A,B,C and D


alternatively in synaptic > file >history > entry
add uninstall checkboxes, something like this http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1xv4.png

or perhaps even better add a 'history' entry in the left pane of synaptic (where it says section,status,origin etc)
with isntall history sorted by date/time with uninstall checkboxes as in the screenshot above
