What to say, what to say... I'm currently attempting to either work out which of two senses of self I have is a delusion of the other, or to reconcile them. It's not easy.

Installing ubuntu onto my 13 year old PC Tab will work in debian-installer (i.e. the alternate CD) and to change sections in the BIOS setup tool, but often won't for changing boot order/selecting an item in the boot menu. |

Installing ubuntu onto my 13 year old PC @EdManet "Ubuntu 10"? 10.04? Or 10.10? Or the tenth release (which would be 9.04, and unsupported)? The numbers are not version numbers in the usual sense so much as release dates. Can we be a little more precise about these things? (Sorry, pet peeve. Incidentally, OP, by the same logic it's 12.10 rather than 12.1, but at least we can tell what thou meanest!) |

How to configure the clock date format to ISO 8601? Ah. I seem to recall there was some slightly odd interaction between gconf and dconf in Oneiric, although I could be wrong. The methods I suggested work for me in both Precise and Quantal, though I haven't an Oneiric machine to hand with which to test. |

How to configure the clock date format to ISO 8601? Hmm, that's odd. They show up for me, and the dconf commands take effect immediately, too. Which release art using? |

Get rid of 0.5s latency when playing audio over Bluetooth with A2DP Incidentally, the VLC option is at Tools->Track Synchronisation, or play with the --audio-desync option. I'm afraid I'm not sure what the units are, and which direction is positive, and the help is not forthcoming on the matter, but that's where you want to look. |

Centrino Wireless-N 1000 takes forever to connect and keeps asking for password It's worth tailf-ing /var/log/syslog as it tries to connect; that might give you some idea as to what is going on. |

How to Enhance xinit? Nautilus is not a window manager, but a file manager. What you need is a window manager. I don't know what exactly you need to do about sound, I'm afraid. |

How to Enhance xinit? @Z9iT If you add metacity, you'll get window-management, which will certainly provide alt-tabbing, the ability to raise windows, &c., and possibly mouse-keys, though I'm not sure about that bit. You won't get sound from metacity - as mentioned in the answer, you'll want to look at ALSA packages. In addition, if you really want lightweight, you should seriously consider using *box (fluxbox, openbox...) rather than metacity. |

Execute sudo without Password? s/visudi/visudo/ (for there is no such command as "visudi"), added instructions on closing nano, grammar touch-ups. |

Execute sudo without Password?sudo -s or sudo -i are probably both better ideas than sudo bash, because they ensure the environment is sane and things. |
