Manually Start Ubuntu One Daemon Thanks for the question. Mine said the status was good (u1sdtool -s), but it wasn't. Running u1sdtool -q and then unsdtool -w fixed it :) |

Why did Thunderbird replace Evolution in 11.10? Re: "no exchange support" for thunderbird, what about via IMAP and LDAP this way: ThunderbirdExchange - Community Ubuntu Documentation. Does it work well? |

Weka windows always open in a different workspaces This seems to be a bug in compiz related to either multi-monitor setups (Bug #874146 “New windows open on the wrong monitor” : Bugs : Compiz Core), or the use of modal windows (Bug #754508 “Modal dialogs don't appear on the workspace of thei...” : Bugs : Compiz). So this should probably be closed here in askubuntu since it is a bug and thus out-of-scope. |

Weka windows always open in a different workspaces I have no clue why, but I have the same problem in precise. Until seeing your question I had no idea weka was successfully starting up at all - it just seemed to hang from the command line.... Thanks. FWIW, I'm using two monitors. I note some odd problems with google chrome opening up in the wrong monitor at times also.... |

Rhythmbox (or any music player) doesn't change songs properties Hmm - it looks like I was misled, and Rhythmbox generally can be used to edit id3 tags, at least the version (2.96-0ubuntu4.1) I'm running in Precise. It's just that I didn't see either an "export" option, or any change in the file times after editing the tags in Preferences. But "ls -lc" does show time changes, and id3v2 tags were written to my mp3 files (as shown by the "id3v2" program), which is great. What format were your files? |

Rhythmbox (or any music player) doesn't change songs properties I can certainly edit fields in Preferences for many songs in Rhythmbox. So I think there are two different issues here. One is that rhythmbox doesn't seem to be able to export files with id3 tags that reflect the changes that you make under preferences. That's what nitstorm wrote about. Another is that for some files you can't even change things in Preferences. That sounds to me like your issue, and may be fixable even in Rhythmbox via @Fred's answer. It seems to match your stated symtoms better, and if so you should mark that as the best answer. |

Comparison of backup tools @brillout.com Deja Dup is based on Duplicity, which provides a command line interface. Another choice is duply. |

Comparison of backup tools Note also that it installs apache to run the web site, opening port 80 for outside access. Worse, it requires a password to do web config, but sends the password over the network in the clear by default. See other security issues at SourceForge.net: Configuring BackupPC for secure backups and access controls - backuppc |

Easy backup/restore of installed system? Good point that this is not so much about general backups. Re backuppc, I've run across a bunch of problems with it in Precise, as mentioned briefly at software recommendation - Comparison of backup tools - Ask Ubuntu. |

Comparison of backup tools I'm surprised at how many issues I've run into with backuppc in Precise 12.04. The documentation is geared towards doing config by hand, not via the pretty web interface. It is confusing to configure. They have no convenient upstream bug tracker, just a mailing list, but I've run across many unresolved bugs, including those mentioned at issues with BackupPC on Ubuntu 12.04 | tolaris.com and at bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backuppc/+bug/497732/comments/… |
