Work with Google to receive an advanced Linux version of Google Chrome so you can package it and put it in the repositories at the same time of the release.

Guys,

OggConvert is a great app, but it can only convert ONE music at the time .... so If I have a music directory with 100 wma or mp3 musics, I would have to convert then ONE BY ONE ...

please fix this, allow the user to specify a directory as a source (with subdirectory search)

Hi all
Reading some ideas I've seen a lot of request for performance, so why don't support Intel Turbo Memory?

This kind of memory was developed for enhanced Vista's Superfetch and readyboost...
But if is possible to use those memories like an hybrid disk we could have a truly fast system (not only at boot time), time to open applications will become very low, and so on.

This will remove some heavy performance bottleneck.

As always I'm sorry for my english and comments accepted as always!

PS: if you want take a look to my others ideas

yesterday i installed kubuntu on my uncles computer - it was an old machine

it was really painfull to go through liveCD installer,

there is an information on box, that 256MB of ram is required

wouldnt it be good, if installer at the very beginning, choose, or suggest you if you have an older machine - to use alternate install?

if i have 1GB or 2GB of ram, it would be really nice, if i could choose an option at the beginning of liveCD - "load all files to RAM" - this way i wouldnt have to listen to loud CD, also system should work much more better and faster

is it possible to implement?

I think it would be useful if nautilus could show preview of gimp's xcf files in thumbnails like it does with jpeg and png files

I really like to see an option in calculator to switch to tape mode, like in this picture made with gimp:

Images in images folder
video in video folder
etc...

...and delete the examples folder

Please add Kashmir to the country list for Ubuntu.
All Kashmiries want this.

Might be related to this idea :

I would buy it :)

In Pidgin the user can add his IM ID, but what if the user doesn't have IM ID ?
he need to get one from somewhere...

Add "Get ID" link to Pidgin so the user can get IM ID.

HI!.
First of all: apologize for my english.
I'm an user of Ubuntu since 6.10 and i'm very proud of have more than a year with ubuntu.
But i want to propose one interesting goal which could make the diference between UBUNTU and the resting OS.
My proposal is:
Let's try to build new versions of ubuntu making our OS consume less memory each new version is released.
Microsoft and MAC have a horrible mistake: each new version of their SO requires a lot of memory..let's make ubuntu get the opossite way (as much as posible)...with each new version get a lower profile of minium requirements.

I know that programmers and all the staff will call me idiot. But i really think that this should be one of the first goal to take on mind for the new version of ubuntu.

The "Get Ubuntu" page should have a link to purchase Ubuntu pre-installed on machines. It should list System76 and Dell as international providers, and then provide a localized list below that. This will encourage computer buyers to purchase computers with Ubuntu pre-installed and help those already looking for this.

At least link to the wiki page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPre-installed

Also:
http://webapps.ubuntu.com/partners/system/

Right now there are too many brainstorms to be sifted through and made sense of, spreading the votes of any reasonable person too thin.

Brainstorm should select a group of moderators to filter out ideas that are not feasible, not ideas, bug reports, or poorly worded before they are able to be voted on by the general registered user populace.

It will make Brainstorm less cluttered and allow people to decide on a few well-crafted and feasible brainstorms instead of having to make sense of the mess of 10s of thousands of brainstorms that have no hope of ever coming to fruition ("Include all proprietary codecs by default," "Make Ubuntu better," "Fix this upstream Gnome problem").

Originally, i was really against the idea of a dark theme, and maybe i'd still prefer it if Ubuntu would lighten up a little. I understand the organic theme completely, but please...this is an operating system. Anyways, all the dark themes i had seen really turned me off and even the best ones seemed to be loved by some and hated by others. If we're going to have a dark theme, lets have one that we can all agree on. When i saw the Intrepid alpha screenshot, like many others, i gagged a little.

How people interact with their computer is really essential to their satisfaction. This is why aside from features, the software's stability (minimizing annoying bugs), speed (clean code and making everything as efficient and responsive as possible), and interface (look and feel) are the three most important things that should be our focus and be kept at a high priority.
We should really work to increase usability: http://mpt.net.nz/archive/2008/08/01/free-software-usability

I have looked through all the artwork submissions for Intrepid, and of all of them, this is the one dark theme that i would actually like to use: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/Wall-light

I first saw it on this Digg submission: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Intrepid_Ibex_Mockup_Designs

Of course, i'm sure everyone will have input to make it even better. This isn't a final design, but vote for the concept so far!

P.S. Please Digg :) Thanks http://digg.com/linux_unix/Vote_for_a_beautiful_usable_Ubuntu

many people had usb wireless adpter wpn111 of netgear, and is very difficult to work, and wpa did not work with this adapter.Kernel support for this adapter and better wpa support for this?

To create a moving desktop background in Ubuntu (Like in Vista).

If Ubuntu is for human beings, why are the instructions to install KDE 4.1 on the frontpage of the kubuntu website general command line instructions (which skip parts) for advanced users? Do you guys actually WANT people to try KDE4.1?

Why not tell people how to do it on adept/synaptic instead? And clear up any other cryptic instructions on the sites we have (like installing DVD support).

The actual instructions provided are:
http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1

1. Add deb http:ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
2. If you already have the kubuntu-kde4-desktop packages installed, simply type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and answer the questions in which you are prompted. If you do not have kubuntu-kde4-desktop installed, simply type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop and answer the questions. Both of these options are to be typed at the command prompt.

Ubuntu is not (imo) the best looking OS out there, not even close to. I have som ideas to make Ubuntu look great.

Ideas:

* SVG icons.
* A theme that apply to EVERY application.
* More then just human theme.
* Better menus. Like the KDE4 or OpenSUSE menu.
* More then just a brown wallpaper included.
* Fresh up the look of synaptic, make it look like "Install or Uninstall programs", maybe a Apple influenced theme.
* Just one activity bar, like in Windows.
* Not just a blank activity bar, make it look more like Windows or at least make it look better.
* Stop making the screen flicker when starting up, like in Fedora ( think it was called X11 fst or something like that)
* Nicer icon theme, like Crashbit on gnome-look.

Well that just a few of my thoughts about how to make Ubuntu look better.

calling for a merge in sound is a common request but doesnt really make sense since only ALSA is even decent. I wish however if there was an option to force all programs to go through 1 driver or card so firefox flash doesnt do whatever it wants to and I dont have to disable a second sound card in order to get everything out the same speakers
