== Ubuntu 10.04 horrible windows layout ==

The default windows appearence in Ubuntu 10.04 is a SHAME. The golden rule ''"Never change the terrain under user's feets"'' is now totally wiped out from developer's mind.

Tons of problems to fix, and those ''developers'' chose to change the system appearence?!? O_o

To revert back to the default Ubuntu layout: '''System -> Preferences -> Appearence''' and select the Clearlooks Theme.
 
== No icons on desktop in 10.04 ! ==

Where are the Home, System and the Trashcan icons? Is Nautilus broken? Is this a bug?

No.
They choosed to disable them by default.
They are '''GREAT ASSHOLES'''.

It's really incredible how those ''developers'' are happy to change the terrain under user's feets. This is the DUMBEST thing to do while administrating a system.

Just open '''gconf-editor''', go to '''Apps -> Nautilus -> Desktop''' and check every xxxx_icon_visible you need.

== Automatic login without password ==

It's MY computer, in MY house, so why the FUCK i have to type my password to log in X-Windows?!?

{{{
System - Administration - Login and select the damn user
}}}

You can select this while installing the Ubuntu.

== IDIOT keyring password ==

It will be asked again and again. Every time the same FUCKING password. Just to open a thing that contain THE SAME PASSWORD ITSELF.

SOO STUPID!

Delete the folder '''''$home/.gnome2/keyrings''''' which holds the keyring info. Once you do that it wont ask again.

=== Disable the damn Gnome Keyring Manager Password ===

Same SHIT as before.

{{{
Applications - Accessories - Passwords and encryption keys
}}}

Edit that.

=== All other passwords asked again and again ===

First, do an '''apt-get install libpam-gnome-keyring''' (Normally this is not required on latest ubuntu releases)

Create a file named '''/etc/pam.d/common-pamkeyring''' containing:

{{{
Line 17: Line 80:


3. edit /etc/pam.d/gdm adding this line at the bottom of the file:
}}}

adding a line containing:

== The Incredible Idiocy: PolicyKit ==

As I stated in ubuntuforums time ago:

''I'm used to work on MY computer, with MY login, and no other logins; it's in MY home, and it don't run away to search for malicious users. It's MY PC in MY HOUSE. For this I log in automagically with no password asking. I have automagic "su" and "sudo" without password (that is STUPID because I'm root on MY machine, and there are NO other users).

But now I have some very annoying issues about this damn thing called
"System Policy", for which I can't, just to say, do a shutdown of my machine under Gnome because "System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged". And this just because I have some root terminals left open.

This is very, very stupid.

And so on, this damn sys policy crap keep asking me the same damn password for everything: wifi connections, login/ssh to other machines, mounting of devices, and so on.

Please, PLEASE. Does someone know HOW TO KILL this stupid thing? How to get rid of all those unuseful, boring, recursive and idiot password requests?

please somebody help me, I'm going nuts for this.''

I got an official warning and the thread was closed by administrator. The PolicyKit was a so stupid PIECE OF CRAP that now is no more used. But for the unfortunate users that have this stinking corpse running: as stated in the man page, just edit '''/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf''' as here:
Line 61: Line 157:

9. restart the whole X damn thing


AND LIVE IN HAPPINESS
and restart the whole X damn thing


'''NOW LIVE IN HAPPINESS'''


== Other stupid things in Ubuntu ==

=== Totem ===

Totem is installed by default. But it's UNABLE to open ANYTHING. WHY?

NO CODECS INSTALLED!

O_O

=== Close this terminal? ===

Terminal asking "Close this terminal? There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it". This is '''STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.'''.

Launch gconf-editor -> Apps -> gnome-terminal -> global -> untick confirm_window_close

=== 60 seconds delay on shutdown ===

Another STUPID thing.

Launch gconf-editor

Go to apps> indicator-session and check the box next to suppress_logout_restart_shutdown. Or if you wish to do it entirely from terminal:

{{{
gconftool-2 -s '/apps/indicator-session/suppress_logout_restart_shutdown' --type bool true
}}}


=== Sticky Windows at edges ===

The most annoying thing in the entire world. The great stupid thing is that you have '''''compiz installed without the tool for configuring it!'''''

so, '''apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager''' and check out the '''snapping windows''' option in the '''''window management''' section of the compiz config editor, that is under '''''system - preferences''''' menu.

=== Logout - Are you sure you want to logout? ===

YES GODDAMN, I'M FUCKING SURE, HOLY SHIT SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LOG THE FUCK OUT!

=== USEFUL not installed programs ===

 * compizconfig-settings-manager (compiz INSTALLED and NOT CONFIGURABLE? STUPID!)
 * openssh-server (this is SO FUGKING STUPID!)
 * mc
 * gimp
 * joe

=== SHIT to be removed ===

 * f-spot
 * totem (totally unuseful!)
