make network-manager work with hotspot module in some way, so it would work out of the box, only through GUI.

System should auto regognize enable hotspot, and show it in list of wifi networks. Just click on visible hotpost and it asked for password and then connect.

Imagine you are an Ubuntu user: you have a standard Ubuntu (desktop) installation with Thunderbird and your Ubuntu One free account.

How nice would be if Thunderbird was able to automatically detect large attachments and create a public Ubuntu One share for that file, replacing the attachment with the public Ubuntu One file url?

This could solve both the problem of sharing a file to someone and sending large email attachments. This might boost both Ubuntu One and Thunderbird popularity.

Not a developer, but this seems as easy as a Thunderbird extension (on ubuntu, maybe more difficoult on windows).

There should be an easy to read, pretty dialog that runs some basic troubleshooting steps and displays the results.

The idea is to assist helpdesk type support agents to resolve issues quickly, which would, in turn, help the end user.

I am connected wirelessly to the SSID 'abc123' using WPA2.
I can get an IP address. It is '192.168.10.170'
I can ping my gateway. It is '192.168.10.1'
I can do DNS lookups.
I can ping external ips by ip.
I can ping external ips by hostname.

I'm aware there are tools that provide this information, but providing it in an easy to find, non-scary, low-tech way would be very helpful for anyone who has to call a support department.

We can see the packet information though ifconfig in terminal.

Create a shortcut/alias for this command ,since this would be better than manually clicking through the network manager icon

If evolution could be minimised to the indicator applet once opened (or started minimised with -startminimised option) it would reduce screen clutter but continue checking for mail. Pidgin already does this so surely it wouldn't be too difficult to implement.

p.s. i don't want to have to use alltray anymore.

Maybe it would not be as handy as Solution #1 but it would altough be a great improvment :-)


Many people are searching for the possibility to minimize evoltion.

It's crazy that you have the full evolution suite open just to receive notifications.

I propose the writing of a program that runs in the background, providing new mail and calendar notifications, as well as checking for new mail/calendar items at schedualed times.

The notifications should be "published" to the indicator-applet, and evolution should be opened when the message indicator is clicked.

This solution not only minimizes the clutter presented in the rational, but also eliminates the need for the entire evolution program to be constantly running.

So evolution reduces to displaying the mails if necessary and running the indicator-applet gives you notifications from the data server if new mail arrived.

I submited the same idea some days ago without noticing this one, I was thinking that the main notification should be independent from evolution, I mean the applet should still work as it does, but it also would work if Evolution is closed, there are already a lot of applications that do this it would only be a matter of including the code in the applet.

Though I think it's common sense and strongly agree with making the Notification applet own evolution and I also think the mail notification should work independently from evolution while taking the account information from it, why? it's simple really, I want to be informed of new mails at all times but in order to do it I have to keep evolution constantly running which is a waste of resources. So if there are a thousand applications already made to check mails, couldn't one be integrated with evolution, it would just be a matter of including the code in the applet so it becomes green when you receive new mail but you can still open evolution from it.

Using Ubuntu natty, from a user experience perspective, it would be great to have the same behavior for all social software at the notification applet.
When you open evolution/empathy/gwibber, you get an indicator that it's running.
Empathy shows new messages by user.
Gwibber shows now messages by type.
Evolution shows new messages by account.

When you close Gwibber/Empathy, their systray runs and shows new notifications, but when you close Evolution, the program closes completely.
All should have the same behavior.
The evolution-tray plugin doesn't wrok, alltray doesn't work, we need this integrated with Evolution.

Evolution needs a systray, and should be closed to systray by default.

The network manager should allow you to select the two connections you wish to bridge, and do everything else for you.

When you dig deeper it is possible to find out how to create a bridge in the terminal; I wonder how much work it would take to transfer this to a gui.
