Today I accidentally opened disk utility and found out that my HDD has bad sectors and big amount of IO errors. It would be nice if Ubuntu tell me bad news in time when it happens and write something in logs. Because this information is very important for me and now I even don't know when first bad block has appeared.

I am always working on my computer and miss SMS, I have my phone on my desk by my attention is on my computer. I would love to have an app with message menu integration that when I plug my phone in my computer presents notification and alows me to receive and respond to the text messages

The idea came from watching the ubuntu for android promos, there is a big difference though, we need to have some way to pass the info from the phone to the pc. either bluetooth, or usb.

Ubuntu needs a way to install onto non-rooted Android phones, simply by installing an app from Google Play.

There was a lot of fuss about Ubuntu on Android, and there's lot of text here: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android it mostly advertises Ubuntu to cellphone manufacturers, but it misses one point - those guys are driven by money and business, and they are not interested in anything that does not show immediate profits (even if that's something as simple as rooting your device and unpacking tarfile). So, Ubuntu needs an app, a simple app that non-techies can install on a phone with a single click, and it needs to get some resonance among users (1 million downloads would do). Only then manufacturers will recognize Ubuntu as a market trend and a business opportunity, and will possibly make dual-boot phones, because Ubuntu support will bring immediate profit in their eyes.

There are already several Ubuntu installers for rooted phones, they are not insanely popular though, I guess because of the root requirement.

Often I am in need of a little extra display space on my system.
Or I need to display content on a larage screen for others to view.
