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!

I don't remember on which occasions I was asked, but the question was something like: "Would you like to add this password to your keyring?"
Or different: "Enter a new password to the keyring."

"No, I don't want to enter a new password, I already have a password! Why do I have to create another one?"

I am sure that there is a good reason for keyring to exist but it wasn't explained to me. I know, I am supposed to look it up on the internet but here comes the idea:

It would be great if there was a short explanatory sentence about keyring - what it is good for and why I have to write another password - when I'm being asked for a keyring password.

Can we use this to be the default Firefox for Kubuntu, the GTK one looks out of place in a KDE desktop.

And there is some effects that the users could be use, without use gimp.
It allow to the non-user of gimp to manipulate some images simply.

currently it just tells 'n' number of packages to install and resolve all dependencies but does not tell what is the size of that dependencies to download.

But still, programs that want to use the browser, use firefox. Even .htm and .html files open with firefox.

So it would be nice when setting a web browser as the default to be default for everything that needs a web browser.

I'd love to see an automatic repair of an interrupted dpkg, but I also know that'd take much longer to implement.

In the meantime, the message given to users should be to run

sudo dpkg --configure -a

instead of what they currently get, which is to run

dpkg --configure -a

Of course, when they run dpkg --configure -a, they also get an error message saying they aren't root so can't run the command, which is silly, since Ubuntu doesn't enable the root account by default, and the user just ends up confused.

For example, few months ago i've installed VLC and yesterday i've removed it.
today i opened synaptic which told me "you still have VLC configs!", then a monekey jump on me...

I opened nautilus i went to my home i set hidden files as visible and HORROR!!!! I found .vlc foldere and all the hidden folder of all the apps i had removed.
I deleted those folder manually and so I freed up about 500MB

A dialog for selecting if you want to remove those hidden folders and the configs would be a good thing

If you have suggestions pleae wrote
And sorry for my English

Now why don't do like fedora, make taping crtl + alt + backspace once make a sound so you know that you have pressed it and if you press crtl + alt + backspace twice you restart X11.
