Fixing Modem Manager in 10.04

Hi, I use a Huawei E1260 USB modem (provided by Tata Photon+). This does not work out of the box with a stock 10.04 install. However after installing an updated version (0.3-0ubuntu4) of modemmanager from http://ppa.launchpad.net/hardik-dalwadi/ppa/ubuntu, it started working fine. Is it possibl

Re: Remove OO Draw from the default install

Of all the tools available by default it is the best at handling diagramming. Since most of openoffice is included, it shouldn't add much to the space on the CD. Unless an equivalent or better diagramming tool is included it is not a good idea to remove it from the default install. -- Chandra Se

Including a system-wide pulseaudio equalizer

The default media players in Ubuntu, though quite capable do not have graphical equalizers. Rather than including an equalizer in every application, having a system wide equalizer can be very handy especially when playing online videos. I've been using https://code.launchpad.net/~psyke83/+junk/pu

Re: Why and why.

All icons of default applications are moved from notification area to indicator applet. This applet ensures that you don't perform any action on the icon other than clicking it. It is proposed that from 11.04 the notification area (which allows actions like opening the window with single click an

Removal of notification area

If notification area is going to be removed as mentioned in this post, http://design.canonical.com/2010/04/notification-area/, how will applications which do not target Ubuntu alone and are not maintained by Ubuntu developers work? For example, Skype currently places its icon on the notification a

Making notifications close-able

I understand that notifications are not manually close-able to avoid making the user take a conscious decision about notifications. However, there are certain cases where user might want to immediately close the notification without waiting for it to time-out (certain chat messages, for example).

Politically, I wonder what is so wrong with JCA. Apache software foundation mandates a similar action too. Technically, Oo.o 3 starts faster than go-oo. I cannot comment on Excel formulae. But I doubt whether switching would really provide any benefit to Ubuntu, which is worth the effort involv

PulseAudio integration with OpenAL

Hi, Ever since I upgraded to Intrepid, I have been facing an issue with the sound system, which I have discussed here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=994172 As stated there, I have managed to find the solution with help from guys at LQ. Now I'm wondering why this was not the default set

Inclusion of a mobile management tool

Hi, Now that almost everyone has got a mobile and most of them connect it to their PCs, wouldn't it be a good idea to include a decent mobile management tool like Wammu (there may me better ones but this is what I use)? Even if it is not going to be included in the Live CD due to lack of CD space

Has the Window decoration for Intrepid (Gnome) been finalized?

Re: sound from multiple apps

I had experienced the exact same problem. When Rhythmbox is playing a song, no sound output came from Firefox (Youtube or any Flash site). Also, AFAIK GMail uses Flash for audio alerts (not for other parts). I guess the problem is due to lack of integration of Flash Player with Pulseaudio (not a

Re: Banshee by default in Intrepid

No Banshee by default please. Apart from Mono dependencies, its memory consumption is much higher than Rhythmbox and Audio players are always run in the background when the user is actually doing some other work on the system. Wasting RAM on media player is not a good idea. Apart from that, RB i

Re: making deals with M$

No Java is not in the same boat as .Net. There is no open-source version of .Net released by Microsoft. .Net as a framework is still a proprietary product of Microsoft. They are letting Mono survive only because of their Embrace, Extend and Extinguish scheme. Not so with Java. There is an offi
