Why don’t SSH bookmarks ever work when I try to open them with Gnome Do?
If I edit my Wine menu entry for “Mozilla Firefox” to “Mozilla Firefox Wine”, it remembers the change, but it’s still not displayed in the menu. This is because
- The menu entry editor only changes the
Name[en_US]=value in the .desktop file. - Gnome only reads the
Name=value, which does not change when you edit it.
In Sound Preferences, if you turn the volume down to the bottom, it mutes automatically. Ok. OS X does this, too.
But then if you drag the volume slider back up again… it stays muted.

Why does the .deb package installer have to ask me for my password every time? Just remember it for several minutes, like every other program does.
Ubuntu: “Your laptop battery is low. I’m going to shut down in 3 minutes.”
Me: “3 minutes?? Isn’t that a bit… last minute?”
*plugs in computer within 10 seconds*
Ubuntu (plugged in, charging the battery, less than 30 seconds after the last warning): “Battery is critically low, shutting down.”
Me: “FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU”
When you switch the “fallback” from one audio output device to another, and then push the hardware volume buttons, it adjusts the new default device’s volume, as it should.
Instead of adjusting relative to the new device’s current volume, though, it starts adjusting at the old device’s previous volume, resulting in a sudden, deafening increase if the previous device was at full volume.
Thanks, guys.
