I've been using Ubuntu as my primary OS since Feisty alpha 3 (Dapper was fine, Edgy was just too edgy) and I've run the development release ever since. Initially this meant I was reinstalling every month or so as an update borked by system, but since then I've been able to fix most problems I come across.
I normally hang around in the Testing and Discussion area of ubuntuforums.org, where I track FGLRX and xorg-server changes and patches for the latest and pre-release kernels. I also try to help out with UK English translations on Launchpad, though that has taken a back seat recently.

How do I get Ubuntu to forget all about an old ZPOOL? Wait a second... you're running with a ZFS root. That means the initramfs will be built with information about the current pools. You'll need to do a 'sudo update-initramfs -c -k all' and 'sudo update-grub' before rebooting to rebuild it. |

How do I get Ubuntu to forget all about an old ZPOOL? It may be importing the old zpool rather than the new one when it boots due to having two pools with the same name. You could try importing the new one by its id with a different pool name (sudo zpool import 7033445233439275442 newdata), exporting the old one, then exporting and importing the new one again. |

Diablo 2 Lord of destruction wine shutdown problem This has just started happening on my machine, but with Scrolls. No logs files show any entries at the time of the power failure, which is not surprising as it is exactly like the power has been pulled. Wine 1.5.10, fglrx 9.01, kernel 3.6.6, Intel Core i5. I don't think it's temperature-related; my laptop is running normally up until I run the game in WINE. I'll try a new WINE prefix and see if that makes any difference. |

Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 kernel 3.5 and fglrx I think what you've done there is to disable fglrx and instead enable the open-source driver (which has no problem running under kernel 3.5). Same effect as deleting xorg.conf completely. |

How to access the shared folder between two computers running ubuntu If SSH server is installed then this would indeed be the easiest solution. In this case, you can use ssh://serverip/. |

Can't connect through wired connection You have to have admin rights to edit the file. Use something like gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces |
