The mariadb repository contains only the beta 10.5 version for 20.04 LTS and in the official ubuntu repository, there is only the old stable 10.3 version. Is there no way to install the current stable 10.4 version for the latest ubuntu?
How can I fix this?

I'm using this method to mute the microphone in Ubuntu 13.04, however I'm missing a visual representation that the action has taken place and is currently in action.
Is it possible to improve this method, or use another method, to have my microphone muted and know for sure that this has happened? A microphone indicator would be enough, probably.
I know how to use xbindkeys, but I don't know what is the xte command for previous/next, when I want to bind my extra mouse buttons to navigate nautilus/web browser to go 1 step back or 1 step forward.
I have recently obtained the MinION USB genome (DNA) sequencer, which to my disappointment doesn't seem to be working in Ubuntu properly.
I'm using the 12.04 release of Ubuntu. The sequencer is properly detected by the script/driver that comes with it, but seems to be unable to detect the sample.
I'm attaching the screenshot of the process. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm currently using Ubuntu Server installed in VirtualBox for running various server services. The only drawback it posses for me is that I cannot use mouse in the terminal and select/copy/paste stuff.
What would be an alternative in this situation to get a better terminal? I guess Ubuntu Server itself doesn't support mouse, so I'd have to go for Ubuntu Desktop, but it seems like a huge waste of resources to run Unity/Gnome3 in VirtualBox only to have a terminal.
So then I'm wondering whether Xubuntu/Lubuntu would be suitable alternatives, although they still take a lot of time to boot up, etc.
Any ideas how to solve this scenario?
I have Ubuntu Server running in virtualbox to which a directory is shared. I need to access this directory, probably even mount it, so that it's easily accessible for me.
When I had Ubuntu Desktop running in virtualbox in the same situation, I could access the folder simply by typing smb://192.168.1.1/ into nautilus. I don't know how to achieve this in Server / terminal.
I was wondering why upgrade sometimes doesn't want to upgrade certain parts of the system, while dist-upgrade does. Here's an example after running apt-get upgrade:
apt-get upgrade:

In other words, why can't this be performed by upgrade?
Something happened to my keyring, I think chrome asked for a new password to create a new keyring and erased the old one, but now the process repeats. I save a few passwords and then it resets it again.
How do I completely swipe/remove/erase the keyring, so that this problem stops?
Oh how I love Ubuntu and all its features, but this "bug" has been making me angry for so long and I've finally decided to ask for help here.
I've assigned all .php files to be opened with gedit whenever I double-click them in nautilus. Now, the behavior is strange.
- I have no gedit running
- I double click a file to be opened
- A gedit window opens and the file loads
- I double click another file to be opened
Now, there are 2 possible outcomes:
5A) The file opens in the same gedit window in a new tab
5B) The file opens in a new gedit window, resulting in 2 gedits running.
Whether A or B happens seems to be totally random and keeps on going infinitely. That means I double click on 100 files and I might end up with 60 gedits, some of which will have 1 tab, some will have 2 tabs, some will have 3 tabs...
This is extremely annoying and a fix for this would be very appreciated. Anyone ever tried to fix this problem?
This has happened in Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.10. All Ubuntu versions I've ever tested.
I was trying to shutdown my PC through SSH. I executed
sudo shutdown now
The user was logged-out and Ubuntu starting turning off, but it froze at the last screen with the Ubuntu logo and the loading dots. Any idea where the problem might be?
Also, what's the difference between shutdown and halt? What other similar commands are there?
I want to re-install the PC my mother uses and since she's not very handy with computers, she has a bunch of passwords stored in Firefox which she probably forgot and won't be able to enter again.
The current system is Ubuntu 10.04. I want to install Lubuntu 11.10. How do I ensure that after re-installing the system, all her stored passwords will remain stored and pre-filled in all the websites she currently uses?
Also, I'd like to install google chrome instead of firefox, so they should be available in google chrome.
In Ubuntu when I hovered my mouse over VirtualBox and held the ALT key, it was sent to VirtualBox OS.
However, in Lubuntu (LXDE), when I hold the ALT key, it wants to switch between desktops and I can't use the ALT key inside VirtualBox.
How do I disable/unbind the ALT in LXDE, so it works in the VirtualBox window?
I've been a Ubuntu user for years now, but since 11.10 will come with GNOME3/Unity, neither of which I like, I've decided to switch to Lubuntu, which uses LXDE as the desktop environment.
The only problem I've come up with so far is that the default text editor, leafpad, doesn't support syntax highlighting. So far I've been using gedit for coding (html/php), I've customized it pretty nicely to work for what I need. Leafpad, however, is not customizable at all.
Thus, I ask:
Is it a good idea to install gedit in Lubuntu?
I know it works, because I tried and all was simple, but since gedit is a GNOME app, I'm not certainly sure whether by using it I'm not breaking the overall system performance (by adding the "GNOME" part into the system).
EDIT

- I have a fast machine - let's say Intel Core i7, SSD drive, Nvidia GTX 560 card.
- I don't need an eye-candy system.
- I still need to perform it properly, that meaning have latest drivers, use my hardware properly.
I think it's strange to say:
Well, this PC is so fast, let's install GNOME3 on it, it will handle, so whatever.
Why wouldn't I install Lubuntu on it, just as I use it on my net-book? In other words is Lubuntu a good choice or not? I mean, does Lubuntu have any disadvantages to it when it comes to new hardware support, or whatever?
Note: This may look like an off-topic question leading only to a discussion, but bear with me for a second here. I don't mean to discuss which of the two is better or whatever, I'd rather hear facts.
To make my question as simple as possible, I'll start with showing my desktop, so that I don't need to describe everything in words:
Basically this is how I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 since it's been released: all ubuntu/gnome panels erased and only AWN (Awant Window Navigator) running on the left side of the screen.
How possible is it to get as close to this look as possible in Ubuntu 11.10 without downgrading to gnome 2?
Possible solutions I can roughly think of, but am not sure how to accomplish them:
1) Use Unity interface, hide the Unity launcher and try to get used to the necessary top panel (I don't think that can be erased, or can it?)
2) Use Gnome interface and somehow erase all the panels/launchers?
I just ordered the Nvidia GTX card. I have a dilemma, though. Should I keep using the driver which is available in "additional drivers" in Ubuntu, or should I install the driver from the Nvidia site?
So which driver is the best for me?

How do I make a Theme from scratch for Unity?
I'm currently running Ubuntu 11.10.
My question is how can I create my own Ubuntu theme. I'm a coder (html/css/php/sql), so I think I'm capable of creating my own theme, I just need to know where/how to start.
I was hoping someone could point me to the right direction. The basic settings in themes/customize aren't enough for what I need to do.
I'm not even sure whether Unity and Gnome shell share the same themes, but if not, I'd probably go for theme-ing the Unity.
