There are two parts here:
It appears that GPass is dropped in oneiric so can anyone recommend a new password manager?
Is there a way to open the file created with GPass, or do I need to recover the passwords in another install of GPass and manually move the passwords into the recommended replacement?
I have a few machines running Ubuntu and often I need to run an application from one machine on another. So I use ssh to do this as I already have it set up and it is simple to do.
For example
ssh -X netbook liferea
This works well for me as I don't have to sync files or install applications on all my machines.
When I try to do this with Tomboy Notes I get errors:
ssh -X netbook tomboy
Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.

Is it possible to launch Tomboy Notes over ssh?
I know it is simple to download and install but so are many other applications such as phpmyadmin, drupal and Zend Framework and they are all just an apt-get away.
Why is there no package for magento in the repositories or apparently from anywhere else?
Is it a licensing issue? The software is dual licensed under a commercial license and Open Software License (OSL 3.0).
Logout, Restart and Shutdown are all self explanatory to me.
What are the differences between Suspend and Hibernate on the shutdown menu?
Is there currently any GUI based application to show currently running services, with buttons to start and stop services?
It doesn't necessarily need to be able to set boot up behaviour.
Apart from those themes in the repository and Gnome-look.org, are there other places to get themes for my Ubuntu Desktop?
Also, are there any 3rd party repositories of themes and other eye-candy?
Is there an equivalent to the yum "whatprovides" option in apt-get?
For example on CentOS
yum whatprovides /usr/share/gdm/themes/TreeFlower/background.png
Tells me
redhat-logos-4.9.99-11.el5.centos.noarch : CentOS-related icons and pictures.
Repo : base
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/share/gdm/themes/TreeFlower/background.png
Can I get similar functionality on the command line in Ubuntu?
I am running 10.04 and I am unable to get a tray applet to appear for Ubuntu One. I am sure there was an applet in 9.04 (Jaunty) and 9.10 (Karmic).
I have the package ubuntuone-client-gnome installed which Synaptic tells me
"This package contains the tray applet and Nautilus extension, providing integration with the GNOME desktop."
The applet is not on the "Add to panel..." list and there doesn't appear to be anything in the menus.
So how do I make the applet appear?
