It would be very convenient to have something like a "dictionary lens" in the dash for quick reference.

Everytime the user wants to see remaining time for the song, he must open an audioplayer.

Sound menu already contains:
*song name,
*band name,
*album name,
*album art,
*volume control,
*play/pause/previous/next buttons.

But some information is missing:
*Song duration and remaining song time,
*Progress adjuster.

A decentralized sync system, similar to Windows Live Mesh would be quite useful for users. Some users use Ubuntu One, not for backup, but for syncing files between computers. This is slow, and unefficient, as it does

Computer 1 -> Ubuntu One -> (Ubuntu One on Computer 2 notices updated file) -> Download to Computer 2.

Instead, with decentralized sync, we can reduce the storage overhead, and the 5GB storage space can be solely used for backup. Here, Computer 1 directly transfers changed files to Computer 2, and vice versa. This allows for a much faster sync.

Computer 1 -> Computer 2.

When You try open some files in some program - You get "Open file" dialog with list of files. But there is no options like "Icons size", "View mode":
1) It's not customizable, and thus - hard for use.
2) It's not unity-way - Your "Open file" is different from Your file-manager.

Touchpads encourage Lion-style reverse (in which you two-finger drag the document) scroll, as well as inertia, while mice with scrollwheels feel more natural when the wheel moves the viewport (shall we call it "anti-natural scroll"?). touchpads also feel more natural when the scrolling is continuous, as opposed to wheels, where "chunked" (one entity at a time) may be less surprising. The same applies to inertia - the viewport has no mass, so scrolling should stop as soon as the wheel stops turning whereas when you move the document, the larger it is, the more inertia it should have and movement should continue for a while if we release the pad with fingers moving until we touch it again.

When you are on a notebook that gets attached to a mouse from time to time, the two ideas clash and the experience gets miserable, in special because reverse scrolling requires a Xmodmap trick that affects all input devices equally.

This idea was proposed by the the Launchpad user bodhi.zazen, as part of a feature request bug against the update-manager package. Bug Squad members asked that this section be removed from the feature request in order to triage the feature request bug (which contained both minor and major change recommendations initially, with the idea in this post being the major change):

Idea:
Ubiquity looks for a backup of /home and offers to restore /home from backup. If no backup exists, it offers to create one, to be stored on external media or another partition.

Rationale: Many users out there who are not experienced sysadmins either install new versions of Ubuntu on top of older versions, or upgrade using the LiveCD environment. In both cases, people have an (occasionally) unexpected loss of data. This loss of data results in posts going to AskUbuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org for help in recovery, which can be very hard.

The classic desktop with floating windows, mouse and keyboard actually requires 3 hands. 2 for keyboard and 1 for mouse. Instead of having 3 hands we handle the problem by switching between mouse and keyboard. Switching requires a lot of time, we all know it. Its just unproductive.

So that many people prefer console, tilingwm and other keyboardoriented software. Usually those solutions have a steep learning curve and are unpopular for that reason.

Ubuntu HUD is a major step towards a solution.
1. It's cleaning your field of view.
2. Its building bridges between the classic gui-solution and the console fraction. Providing people with productive workflows and flat learning curve.

Sometimes its hard to learn new shortcuts. Its hard to find them and hard to remember them. UbuntuHUD does support learning shortcuts and ive got a suggestions to improve this.

I've installed many programs, and I don't like to clutter my launcher. Then where else should I open apps other than the all apps area?

I love and appreciate Ubuntu's leadership in the Linux community, however I am ultra-hungry for solutions that help Ubuntu deliver real Knock-out punches for market share; so in this spirit here is some food for thought which I hope reaches the right people.

I'd like to share how the decision of replacing XP machines in two years is being processed where I work:

1- Ubuntu Server has made inroads into our company and is well appreciated.

2- Windows is still the 98% deployed OS and Ubuntu Desktop is gaining popularity only among tech people.

3- I am the IT Manager and recently made an evaluation of switching our XPs to Ubuntu.

4- I determined that in-house software could always be re-oriented to run on Ubuntu clients, but it would take energetic selling to peers and execs.

5- I hit a wall when I realized that existing 3rd-party solutions would not be able to run on Ubuntu:

a) Call-center Client Apps
b) IE-dependent Web-based Apps
c) MS-Outlook-dependent Apps

Additionally, The absence of a real-world replacement for MS-Outlook to access MS-Exchange and other servers is notable in the Linux community.

Although this is not a complete analysis, it clearly points to some of the main reasons why Ubuntu is being held back as an enterprise desktop.

Hi, Plain and straight to the point.

While the progress tab is showing. we have a problem (missing feature) of not showing if that progress is on old until we check the tab. For example. A new user is installing the nvidia driver using jocky and installing some software. Jocky would lock and the software center in the progress tab will say that but the user wont know until they actually go to the tab.

The problem escalates when its synaptic or hanged jocky having the lock because software center progress wont tell you but it will not move even if it stayed forever!

Thanks for reading.

P.S. This problem would occurr for alot of reasons not just the mentioned above.
