I've worked a lot on configuring guake to my needs but I can't find a way to export these changes (doesn't seem to be related to gnome-terminal's profiles). Is there a way to backup my "guake profile" and then restore it in another pc?
Ever since I joined the *nix side of the world I've been hearing about mailing lists a lot (especially when it comes to development).
Can someone explain to me what they are and how I can interact with them?
I accidentally deleted my swap partition via gparted.
(I'm still logged in the system so restoring should be easier) Can someone help me please? I'm not sure how to configure it because the Ubuntu installation did it automatically.
There are 3 partitions right now:
/dev/sda1 -> Ubuntu installation root, mounted at '/'
/dev/sda2 -> Windows partition
/dev/sda3 -> Fedora partition
and /dev/sda4 if im not mistaken was the swap partition (4GB size)
I recently moved from win7 to a linux distro so im not sure how exactly things work. What i found weird is while playing music with banshee and after hitting the "X" (close) button, the music that was playing in banshee didnt stop (i also tested this with beatbox getting the same result).
Does this have anything to do with MPRISv2 and is there a way to fix this?

Im using Gnome 3 with Gnome Shell, my problem is some of the applications that have indicators in the top right area dont have icons that fit with the others.
This is how my indicator icons look like:
I want if possible to find the skype and pidgin icons and replace them (i tried searching for pidgins with dpkg -L pidgin but didn't notice any icon-like extensions of the listed files).
Is there a way to embed a website/web app inside a application package? (Something similar to phonegap but for linux distros)
Does anything like this exist? i started modifying the gnome-shell.css file and noticed some none w3c standard attributes in there. Anyone know where i can find some info about it? Also is there an application/helping tool that contains gnome-shell elements (so i can see my changes easily)
i was trying to run
sudo rm -r ./tmp
but instead typed
sudo rm -r /tmp
Will it be fixed by running?
sudo mkdir /tmp
if i do what permissions should i give it?
ps: i didnt log out of my system yet

Does anyone know the name of that file manager? Is it elementary Nautilus?
I changed ownership of /var/www to username:username since im using it only for development but when i try to delete something it wont send the files to the trash but asks me to permanently delete them.
Im currently on Ubuntu 12.04 x86 with Gnome 3.4 installed. Is there a way to update/upgrade it to the 3.5 branch?
I'd like if possible to disable VLC from using the MPRIS interface. I use the Gnome-shell media player extension and it also includes VLC in it which i dont want to. Does anyone know how to do that? (disable vlc's mpris support or hide vlc from the media player gnome-shell extension)
Ok so i moved from windows to ubuntu 12.04 32bit yesterday and im still learning the folder structure etc of *nix systems. What im trying to do is create a symlink from my 2nd hard drive's, which is supposed to be mounted in every boot on /media/media, folder named Music (so /media/media/Music) to ~/Music.
Even though it works while im logged when i reboot the symlink breaks. Any ideas why? Thanks in advance
I've heard many people complain about the ATI drivers on Ubuntu 12.04. So should i stay with radeon drivers (which im not sure if they are good enough) or try install fglrx and risk getting a buggy system?
