When I try to add repositories, why are ubuntu's keyservers timing-out? Apparently the answer is to spend hours on myriads of troubleshooting only to discover you are blocking yourself via firewalls. Still seems odd that DNS errors would propagate from firewall blockage, but alas... it worked. I'll try to write an appropriate answer to this question by the end of the day. Thanks enzotib. |

When I try to add repositories, why are ubuntu's keyservers timing-out? I was wrong. I mean, it is possible that firewall settings are confusing traceroute, but I still cannot get keys from ubuntu and my router is still logging massive DNS failures. |

When I try to add repositories, why are ubuntu's keyservers timing-out? Same results with different DNS services. However, I think I'm narrowing this down. Considering the possibility, now, that I fixed the problem 2 hours ago and that traceroute is returning false fails due to either UFW or router firewall settings. Rebooting and testing now. |

When I try to add repositories, why are ubuntu's keyservers timing-out? I've also attempted to revert back to dynamic acquisition of DNS via my router and that doesn't even seem to be working. Well, at least not like it should. Something is obviously very messed up here. |

When I try to add repositories, why are ubuntu's keyservers timing-out? No, I haven't solved this at all. I've two nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 -- yet, when I run a traceroute to 8.8.8.8 it completely fails. The router is listed on the first hop and nothing else after that. I've also changed /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to include "prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;". |

Keyboard sticks randomly Your welcome. It should work. What's weird is, I can't think of a personal example as to why I would want this feature on by default. The only time I hold down a key press and expect it to be repeated is when I'm humorously emphasizing things with multiple exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!1 I never hold down a key to make it repeat for any legitimate reasons. Perhaps Ubuntu needs to rethink having this enabled by default. |

Why does “terminal” fail to execute a custom launcher/command in terminal? It's also worth noting that it's a bit dangerous making random scripts found on random blogs executable, but I'm hoping you are already aware of this. |

Why does “terminal” fail to execute a custom launcher/command in terminal? I think you'll get this solved a lot quicker if we can see what you are trying to run. Can you link to the script/blog? (One thing of note: if the script involved multiple files you'd need to make them all executable.) |

Went down for restart, won't come back up "and a set of drivers"... I'm guessing this is the problem if you've already purged gnome3 with no luck. |

How can I type an em-dash (—)? I wasn't aware that the Character Map had a search option until reading this. Not sure if I'll ever use it, but +1 for enlightening us. (Please vote to delete the "answer" I left below... it was supposed to be a comment here.) |
