Mic only works in sound recorder and although it works there its just a bunch of static underneath the spoken word, but audible. In skype, cheese, and using "arecord test.wav" at the terminal, it's the same static/white noise with nothing I'm saying being recorded. I'm using a Gateway LT2016U (KAV60?) and not sure where to begin. Tweaking alsamixer yields no result, but if it works in one app shouldn't it work in all?
Where can I send feature requests? Both for Ubuntu as a whole and individual (supported) apps?
Is there a good card creating application? Haven't had one in over ten years but used to have one that had all types of easy to use templates designs etc for ton of occasions. Looking for something that can fill this void and do everything from Christmas cards to greeting cards and get well cards. I know this is possible in Gimp/Scribus but I'm looking for something less involved
How can I search for filenames with special characters? I'd like to search this folder for any files or subfolders that contain special characters. I'd also like to do this with one string if possible so that I'm not performing a single search for every special character.

Is there a way to the switch gnome-shell window buttons to the left? I've gotten so used to them being on the left that them being on the right has thrown me way off.

I don't use gwibber at all but when I go to remove gwibber-service it wants to remove indicator-me. I still use empathy so I like the indicator being in place. Is there any way to have this removed and why does it want to remove this?
--indicator-me is the indicator where you can change your online availability and access Ubuntu one
My home directory is on a separate partition. I am on 10.10 from 10.04 via upgrade. How can I perform a clean install of 10.10 while keeping this partition? Will it perform as well as a clean install? What will be lost and what will be kept?
Is there a utility or terminal command to tell you what graphics device and driver you are using?
Changing the sidepane background color in Nautilus
Is it possible to change the sidepane background color for Places? I want it to blend, if i hit the dropdown above the sidepane and select information, this blends with the navigation toolbars. I'd like that same effect for the Places option.
