Does any one know any way to set up auto-answer for google video calls on an Ubuntu machine? I don't care which client is used (Empathy, Pidgin, in-browser, anything else, etc.), and I don't care how hacky it is (as long as it doesn't take more than a couple of hours to set up).
For concreteness, by auto-answer I mean that all incoming video calls are automatically answered, with a two-way voice and video connection.
Thanks!
On my friend's Ubuntu 12.10 (Unity) laptop, there is no longer an option to connect to a wireless network. It used to work. He doesn't know what caused it to go away, but does anyone know how to get it back?

The software repo in Quantal has version 3.2.1 of texmaker, but texmaker is now up to version 3.5. I would like to have version 3.5.
After downloading the .deb from the website (http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html, Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 package) and trying to install it, it complains about wanting libpoppler-qt4-4.
I can't find libpoppler-qt4-4 in the repos, only libpoppler-qt4-3. How can I install texmaxer 3.5?
A few weeks ago I scp'd some files to my computer from a friend's computer for future use. Now I want to use those files, but I can't remember where I put them and I have looked all over. Is there some sort of history of the scp's made into my computer?
I have looked in /var/log/auth.log with no success.
Is there any way to get texmaker to display the currently open documents in tabs (like every other program) instead of a drop down menu?
I have downloaded the shell script (Workbench_2.0.0_LINUX.sh), I have run it as root with it giving no complaints, relevant looking files have appeared in /usr/local/Wolfram/WolframWorkbench/2.0/ and it has created the executable "WolframWorkbench" in /usr/local/bin.
However, when I run WolframWorkbench from terminal it spits out
/usr/local/bin/WolframWorkbench: 46: exec: /usr/local/Wolfram/WolframWorkbench/2.0/WolframWorkbench: not found
That file does indeed exist, and is executable. I have also tried running it directly, and I have also tried running the /usr/local/Wolfram/WolframWorkbench/2.0/Executables/WolframWorkbench too. Is there something I'm missing?

So in the last couple of releases of Ubuntu (forget when it started), a window will gray out if it is not responsive/thinking too hard. Maybe "gray out" isn't the best term, it just sort of gets darker. I'm not sure what the exact criterion is to set this off.
For one program in particular (Mathematica 8.0) this gets annoying because the program grays out whenever I rotate a 3D plot for more than a couple of seconds.
Is there a way to turn this feature off, and even better, only for specific programs?
Pictures of before I start rotating, and while I'm rotating are below, in case my description is not clear. This only rarely happens with other programs, so I have no idea how to reproduce it if you don't have Mathematica.
In 12.04 (Unity), I would like to assign a shortcut to the "always on top option" for a window. Probably something like Ctrl+Shift+Home to turn on and Ctrl+Shift+End to turn off, or whatever. Is there an option to do this somewhere in the Compiz Settings Manager?
This (old) post claimed that
For compiz, Enable Extra WM Actions. Check the properties, and insert ALT+A to Key field for Toggle Always-On-Top action.
But I couldn't find that.
I was in the process of filing an bug on Launchpad, but I had second thoughts because there were so many threatening warnings of the effect, "Don't file a bug report unless you're sure it's a bug, and you should really provide a package name".
The problem I have, and I've had it for years, is the following:
When I'm installing Ubuntu, it asks me to type in my location before it asks me what my keyboard layout is. Using a QWERTY keyboard with the buttons popped off and in the Dvorak order, this is annoying, because it is assumes I am using a QWERTY keyboard, and so I have to guess at where all the QWERTY keys are to spell my city's name. It seems like it would make more sense to switch the order of these two questions.
(I'll be the first person to admit that this is a very minor problem that has probably wasted less than 2 minutes of my life in total -- but it's the principle of the thing :p)
So my question is: is this order there for a particular reason, and if it isn't, is it appropriate to file it as a bug, and under which package name?
This bug affects me, but it says that it has been fixed in gtk+2.0 - 2.24.8-0ubuntu1. I have version 2.24.6-0ubuntu5. Is there some way for me to upgrade?
