How do I correctly bump the version number when building a kernel package from git? Does not work. The kernel.git does not include a debian/changelog so "dch -i" fails. |

Compile 32bit kernel on 64bit machine Please expand on "as you would normally". I would normally follow the instructions at help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but they do not work inside a chroot - the build dies with 'fatal error: linux/compiler.h: No such file or directory' |

How to show full date and time in Nautilus/Files 3.6+ list view? It doesn't show up for me either. I have an unpatched nautilus installed. I don't see how this change could cause a difference in the dash. Can you test with unpatched nautilus please? |

my user ~/bin folder is not working ~/bin appears before /usr/bin in the standard Ubuntu configuration, but only if the directory exists at login time (see my answer). |

Distorted and sped up audio in Wine 1.4 while using Spotify on Ubuntu 12.04 This sounds like the bug when you upgrade wine but have an old wine config which tells it to use the old broken drivers. |

Configuring the dnsmasq instance started by connection sharing in NetworkManager Any chance you could update this answer with an example of using dnsmasq.d in Quantal? Especially how to restart the services after creating configuration files. |

Why am I frequently getting this “Cannot allocate memory” error? Killing the panel will for sure free up the memory no matter what was causing it. Weather applet is high on the list of suspects. xsesion-errors also suggests a problem with update-manager (perhaps it's indicator icon). The weather isn't really part of the same applet as the other stuff, it's just that all indicators are grouped into a single indicator-applet. It sounds like you've removed that - you probably want it back at some point. This is a good way to test anyway. If the problem stops happening we've narrowed it down to an indicator at least. |

Why am I frequently getting this “Cannot allocate memory” error? I think you are right that system monitor is not the problem. I have left it running on max refresh speed overnight and not seen any increase in memory usage. I see you have indicator-weather installed. For me that applet is very buggy indeed. It crashes several times per day here. Also note that there can be logs in your homedir eg ~/.xsession-errors (which would be worth looking at, along with dmesg, when the problem happens again.) |

Why am I frequently getting this “Cannot allocate memory” error? System monitor is non-standard, in that it isn't on the panel by default. I couldn't reproduce any memory leak with a standard setup so I will focus on that. |

Why am I frequently getting this “Cannot allocate memory” error? Although it looks like gnome-panel has allocated an unusual amount of memory, I don't think this is the direct cause of the problem - you still have plenty of swap free and even some memory used for cache. Some other resource must be exhausted, and the high memory use is just the memory used by allocating that resource. Most likely too many open files or too many child processes. Could also be a full disk caused by out of control error logging. |

Why am I frequently getting this “Cannot allocate memory” error? Are you using any non-default applets? Also, how often do you update? Last change on gnome-panel was 4 months ago. |

How to identify the module supposed to claim a device by vendor/product ID only? There isn't really an easy way to get this information. Not all USB devices are claimed based on their IDs. Class based devices (storage, HID, and many serial and networking devices) are identified based on what interface they provide. |

How do I submit a full bug report with crash dump and steps to reproduce? I don't have the crash file any more, plus posting how to reproduce it was the whole point :) |

How to get telnet to localhost working? If you just want to host a MUD, do it old-school. Grab the envymud source code and build it. I would be happy to help you do this - it's entirely self contained and does not require PHP, database servers, web server, or any of that jazz. |

How to get telnet to localhost working? MUD server usually does not use telnetd. It runs as a service on a different port. |
