| partialupgrade | <deleted><reply> Partial upgrades offered by update-manager, or excessive removals by "apt-get dist-upgrade" are often due to repository inconsistencies, the best fix is often to simply wait, see http://ubuntuforums.…?t=1751299 for more info. | IdleOne Added on: 2011-05-19 15:13:08 Last edited by Pici Last modified: 2011-05-19 15:31:09 Requested 2 times |

| gnome3 | <reply> GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".

| ubuntutweak | <reply> Ubuntu Tweak is a tool that automates some things; however, it is potentially dangerous, and an informal review of its code is pending. Most of the things it does can be done by the use of other tools. Please don't ask for or provide support for it in Ubuntu support channels. | IdleOne Added on: 2011-04-19 20:41:02 Last edited by Myrtti Last modified: 2012-03-09 22:37:31 Requested 35 times |

| xy | <reply> The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. | jrib Added on: 2011-02-28 20:13:32 Last edited by jrib Last modified: 2011-02-28 20:42:15 Requested 118 times |
