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

Ok so im not sure if this is the right place for this..but im just thinking out loud.

a device that will let your torrents downloading but yu can switch off your pc! torrents carry on downloading. External USB hard drives are available freely these days. So maybe something in buntu that will let the juice flow from the USB to the hard drive after the pc has been switched off.

Maybe an option in the shutdown menu..."torrents"...which shuts down everything else but gives the cpu like 3% power consumption compared to normal...

...oh and this has "green" written all over it!

Bragging rights over Windows and Macs? check!!!

While both Evolution and Thunderbird are great applications, Thunderbird should become the default email client available on Ubuntu.

When you login, if you type wrong username/password, there will be a slight delay before it lets you try again. This is a security feature.

I propose that we decrease (or remove) the delay on the first failed login attempt. It would be a convenience.

The other failed attempts (after the first failed attempt) would still have a delay though.

This would make the system more forgiving if you type wrong, yet still maintain security.

every time I used to try and drag something to the trash, I would accidentally drag it to another workspace. It was driving me insane. I eventually decided to move my trash icon away from the right of the screen, so now it is on the other side of my workspace switcher. If a new user is skeptical, it might take one annoying thing to close their mind to change, so I propose we have what I did (which only took a few seconds) as the default setup.

what do YOU think?

I don't understand why pressing the "print screen" button is still doing nothing. Pressing this button is supposed to create a screen capture! and more importantly, this button is build in almost every single keyboard! Please use this valuable resource and actually make it function.

The development of Automatix (at least for Ubuntu) is dead. Please find a way to keep it alive (maybe with a different name?) and improve it!

It would be interesting to add an option to choose between the typical virtual desks and a new cyclic desktop, rendered by compiz fusion, may choose the length.

It's better to understand the concept in the main image:

Already it is a little eye-candy but as option would be great!.

if we must have screensavers give us some useful ones. Educational and Informational.

Make a special video that plays on the first boot up .May be the ones in the examples folder.

Actually that is the feature that I'm missing more in Ubuntu. To be able to preview the content of the documents is very usefull for those who use OpenOffice.org.

If "dive into python" is included in help then why not throw
some more free programming books in?There are plenty of good ones.

Hi,

I suggest to the Ubuntu community, we should have a unique and complete development studio, in order to create great applications very coupled to the Operating System, in order to take advantage of the environment, standardize programming languages and not to fill up the system resources with a lot of interpreters, runtime or whatever frameworks.

For example, on Mac OS they have XCode, in Window$ Visual Studio, inclusive on KDE they have KDeveloper.

From my experience, when I try to make some software for ubuntu, I find great quantity of software development tools which makes difficult the choice.

I know that freedom comes with the liberty to choose too, and is ok, but in this aspect i thought that as a community we need to follow a North, and not everyone go to everywhere without any roadmap, each one going some on foot, some on cars, and in other parts (Mac, Win) going on airplanes...

Currently the Eclipse packages in Ubuntu lack heavily behind other distributions like lets say Fedora.
The packages in ubuntu are outdated and so are the eclipse language plugins like CDT or Pydev.

Properly supporting this top notch IDE should give new linux developers an easier start.

I have a idea to make command line work easier/faster.
I suggest you implement something like the command line on e.g a cisco router.
Now you have to type the complete command every time. It would be easier if you could use only a part of the command.
To make it more clear:
typing apt-g is enough for ubuntu to understand you mean apt-get
apt- however is not good (it could mean more than 1 thing)

I know there is tab-completion but it's just such a useful feature!

a picture viewer similar to the plugin piclens for firefox

Please add the ability to double-click a window's menu icon to close it.

I've been doing it in Windows since 3.1 and it drives be crazy that I can't in Gnome.

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83892

Well,

When I was new to Ubuntu it irritated me A LOT when I accidentally moved to another workspace and didnt really know where all my windows went...

In my opinion this option is not needed BY MOST PEOPLE AT ALL... So I think it should be turned off by default and allow to turn it on as an option.
