What package do I have to uninstall to remove the Firefox Extension entry "Unity Websites Integration"?
When using Nautilus and right-clicking on a file > Properties, user is presented with a permissions tab. The default UI for this permissions tab is horribly difficult to understand and calibrate and lacks any sort of user-friendliness. Accordingly, I need Nautilus to display the alternate view: what has always been called "advanced-permissions" view. Here is what the "advanced-permissions" look like:
using dconf Editor I have always been able to go to setting dconf-editor > org > gnome > nautilus > preferences > show-advanced-permissions and change the appearance of the permissions to this "advanced" presentation which makes the permissions much easier to understand and calibrate.
So how do I get Nautilus to display what has always been called "show-advanced-permissions"? Why is this setting missing from 13.04? How do I get it back?
Since ubuntu updated my install to 3.2.0-37-generic, my laptop fan constantly runs. I never had this issue with the previous kernel versions. To fix this problem, I would like to revert back to the previous kernel version. Yet when I use grub and select one of the previous ones, I now have a red error display showing in the panel. the error message makes it sound like there is now some kind of dependency issue/s because I'm using the "old" kernel (it's only two versions back).
How can I revert back to using one of the older kernels and meet all dependencies (not have an error message)?
I'm using fully up to date 12.04.

My friend is using 12.10 and noticed how the command "colord-sane" shows up on lsof every time he plugs in or unplugs a usb-stick. I tried the same thing on 12.04 (what I use) and colord-sane does not show up.
What is colord-sane? Why is it showing up on 12.10? If it doesn't need internet access why is it even showing up at all on the lsof watch? How would my friend go about stopping it from trying to get on internet if it was something he wanted to stop?
On Windows, I would always use TrueCrypt to perform full-disk-encryption and to create encrypted containers that I can put files in.
On 12.10, ubuntu uses dm-crypt to perform full-disk-encryption. I've read online that dm-crypt can also be used to create encrypted containers. I'm interested in using dm-crypt to create encrypted containers on ubuntu. Does dm-crypt use a GUI for this (noob friendly interface)? Or is dm-crypt CLI? I've tried looking for dm-crypt in Synaptic, Dash, BASH: man dm-crypt. But nothing shows up. So I'm not even sure how to access/install it (to see if it has GUI/CLI). I'm using 12.04.
This is a problem I'm having when using Ubuntu: I have two computers that have Ubuntu installed on them (comp1 and comp2). I create a document with Ubuntu on comp1 and then copy the file onto a FAT formatted USB flash drive. Via the flash drive I paste the document onto comp2. The problem is that the file-permissions are never preserved during the transfer. I'm assuming because the FAT is not supporting the permissions.
Is there a solution to this? Should I continue to use FAT file system for USB flash drives (because FAT is best for flash drives) and just live with this permissions issue? Or is it recommended to reformat my flash drive with a more "Ubuntu Friendly" file system that will preserve the permissions?
