Anders Wallenquist's questions

The user-agent string in the browser for Ubuntu Touch includes information that triggers installation of Android apps instead of viewing content.

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Ubuntu 14.04 like Android 4.4) AppleWebKit/537.36 Chromium/35.0.1870.2 Mobile Safari/537.36

How can I change the user-agent?

I have upgraded my Ubuntu (from anno dazumal) to 14.10 and lost the standard behaviour of Alt key of my old account. The left Alt are now a ISO_Level3_Shift.

A new made account have a correct Alt key.

1. I have tried to find what (old) config file that results in this change of keyboard configuration. I removed almost all .-files and files in .config I could find. (no luck)

2. I have reconfigured the keyboard using xmodmap and a local ~/.xmodmap-file.

   keycode 92 = ALT_L Meta_L ALT_L Meta_L

Gives me an Alt that can activate HUD but combinations with other keys does not work such Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Alt+Left etc.

I would prefer to find and remove the configuration that destroys my Alt key (1) rather than add a new configuration that alter the wrongful configuration (2).

Any ideas?

X clients can be displayed on any X server over the network. This is convenient when working in a complex environment. There are other technologies that address this area as VNC, SPICE and NX, but will MIR do this natively? Or will MIR comply and optimise with other protocols like SPICE?

There are several reports that say that there are serious performance issues using 12.04 and nVidia 7100.

Are there any work-a-round in sight?

I want to wget (or other download batch command) the latest file that is added to a large repository. The latest nightly build thru http. I could mirror all files, but the repository are huge so I want to be able to remove old files and only trigger when there is a new file.

I have a KVM-host with a lot of local disk for virtual machines that I administer using virtmanager. I want an easy solution for addressing disk for my virtual hosts. I also want to be able to add storage to the virtualmachines from time to time.

LVM are nice and have a lot of features for increasing partition size and for snapshots. But since KVM makes its own partition table on LVM-partitions its not so easy to change size for both the partition and the underlying filesystem. Virtmanager are not able to use all LVM-features so if I should continue with LVM I have to use other administrations tools to.

Any thoughts?

What is Ubuntu Desktop USB tasksel alternative in ubuntu server 11.10 edition?

How do I get Network-admin to restrict connection to GSM (Edge) instead of flipping between 3G and Edge and lose connection. Usually it works out-of-the box, but at my current location there are a lot of radio shadows, so the recommendation from my ISP is that I should lock to Edge - which can be done using their own driver in Windows.

How can I do this in Ubuntu

After activating full screen view for a virtual machine in virt-manager there is no obvious way to un-full screen. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a utility that helps me (and my colleagues) to archive documents in a systematic manner (Like Zeitgeist but permanent).

1. The utility have to clean-out old document from desktops and store them on a server (as automatic as possible and consistent) maybe from just a few locations (Document directory)
2. Documents shall be stored on cheap large media for many years to come - hard disk and file system maybe? Easy to maintain and manage for a small organization.
3. Documents have to be easy to find and restore

One systematic manner could be a directory-structure by year, month, user or user, year, month. Its a plus if documents could be linked to a project, if documents could be search-able and if document could also be mail, IM-discussions not only OpenOffice traditional documents.

Any ideas?
