Working with clipboard can be like a hell. Sometimes Ctrl+C just don't work and if you copy some text on, say, web browser you can't normally paste in somewhere else. Especially between Terminal and other programs. Sometmies you have to paste with Ctrl+Shift+Insert sometimes Ctrl+V.
Is there any way to unify handling clipboard?
I have installed DNSMASQ but it was not starting as 53 port was busy.
I found out that ubuntu already had dnsmasq package and it's working.
Now the problem is...I just want to be able to resolve my hosts in /etc/hosts through it
i.e: nslookup somehostonlan localhost
to be resolved to certain IP taken from /etc/hosts file.
but this is not happening.
Why? BTW, as the caching DNS server it's working fine. I just want it to resolve hosts from /etc/hosts file that's all
On Ubuntu 10.04 there is an old samba 3.4.7 how can I upgrade it to the latest 3.5.13 or 3.6.3?
I have a printer HP LaserJet 1020 installed locally (USB).
In my environment, I am having to sometimes use another printers of the same type/model
on the same machine (i.e. just another HP LaserJet 1020). So printer driver would be 100% the same.
but if I just unplug the first HP LaserJet 1020 and plug another HP LaserJet 1020 (to the same USB port) it wouldn't print.
I am having to either install it as separate printer or modify existing printer to use another connection.
I understand this is rather a "feature" allowing to use multiple printers of the same type simultenously. But I really need to be able to use one connection for the same printer model.
So I could plug the same printers without re configuring them each time I want to use.
I already looked at all possible settings in cupsd.conf and printers.conf and wasn't able to find appropriate setting to achieve this.

Here:https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable it is said:
Aimed at Lucid and Maverick users who want to use a modern browser which starts faster

can you tell me which PPA should I use to have latest stable Firefox all the time? Like for Chrome.
The other Questions are closed but they don't answer the question!
For example here: How do I install the latest stable version of Firefox?
it's about versions prior to 11.04.
I have Oneiric and Firefox 9.0.1, but Firefox 10 was released couple of days ago.
May be I just need to wait?

I know how to set Super_L (WinKey) button to open the menu.
gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu --type string "Super_L"
Currently, in order to close that menu, I am having to mouse click outside the menu area. I need to use the Super_L as a toggle button. (pressing one time would open and pressing second time would close)
So what I need now is to be able to close it when pressing it second time.
My printer is being recognized, installed.
When I am trying to print anything it's saying
"Document Printed"
and
"Documnt has been sent for printing"
but nothing is actually printed.
I've tried CANON LBP printers and HP LaserJet 1020
if I run gconftool-2 it works with my own profile. but I'd like to tweak the other users.
is it possible to use it for other users profiles?
should I "su " and only then run gconftool-2?
May there is another way?

Section "Device" (the driver line)
Hello I have a laptop 15' and was going to use 23' external monitor.
I attached it and they both were working fine. But what I wanted is just to use only one monitor and leave laptop's display to be turned off.
I couldn't find a way to do it and after playing with settings I turned first monitor off hoping that system decides to use the second one as main monitor.
However they both are now showing black.
I am having to detach my second monitor and restart my machine (from another terminal's console)
What I want..is just turn laptops monitor off and use 23' one when it's attached.
I would also be quite happy if you would tell me where does Ubuntu store settings about monitors.
I also would to at least to be able to use two monitors at the same time (i.e revoke my last change)
