In the "Software & Updates" preferences, there is an option to automatically download and install security updates:
It seems like this is a very reasonable option. I won't have to bother with updates for two weeks and everything will be done automatically in the background. However, I wonder if it is safe, too? What if I logout or reboot at a wrong time during the installation, because I don't even know there is an installation running?
The application preferences in the menu options do not show a shortcut for fast access.
I'd like to have a unified shortcut to access the applications preferences in any application. How can I get a shortcut for the application preferences of the active application?
I am lucky that hard disk space is not an issue however there are applications that come with the Ubuntu distro that I will never use and I have preferences for other packa ges. For example I use K3B not Brasero for burning DVDs. Are there any LTS support or stability issues if I remove unwanted/unused packages from my system?
As most of you know, you can switch between the visual location entry, and the text based one in Nautilus, by hitting Ctrl+L.
When I tried to set this value permanently in gconf-editor, it doesn't exist. When I tried to do it via the terminal, this is the message that I receive:
No value to set for key: /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry
I can still switch between the two via the Ctrl+L, but I'm stumped about the fix.
I have multiple torrent programs installed and when I download a .torrent file (in this case an Ubuntu ISO) using google chrome and open it, it doesn't open in my preferred program. How can I change this?
