Switch back to pseudo-transparency? @Mik Bang! That did it. Go ahead and put that comment into an answer, and I'll accept it! (It's been long enough that I'm pretty used to this way by now, so I'm not sure if I'll actually use it, but I'm very thankful to know!) |

How to keep processes running after ending ssh session? I will usually name my screen sessions using screen -S name to make it easier to connect to the correct one later. |

What is the difference between “Redirection” and “Pipe”? "Take the output and write it to a file" is a different action than "Take the output and pass it to a different program". I'll edit more thoughts into my answer... |

Thunderbird: enable drag and drop to move email into folder @Mitch That's the opposite of what I want. That addon seems to be made to disable drag and drop. I want to enable it. BTW, I did double check and that add on is not currently installed |

Lost power while upgrading Ubuntu @Brian almost certainly. If not, this question covers how to fix grub so that you can dual-boot :) |

How do I send Alt+Ctrl+F1 through Synergy? Ah. This did switch terminals. HOWEVER, synergy stops working. With a little digging, this is because synergy requires X, so it can't work in a non-X environment, like one of the other virtual TTY's... Thanks for your answer! |

Is it possible or a good idea to run a more or less secure minecraft server without having pre-experience in Ubuntu? Welcome to AU! It is helpful to ask specific questions, focusing on one question per post. Reading your post, I'm not sure what is the main question you want us to help you answer. You do mention security, which this question covers. You also mention looking for a step-by-step guide - do you want a guide for setting up Ubuntu or for setting up Minecraft? |

Computer started crashing during wine/gaming and videos - now crashes at any moment This sounds like either an overheating problem, or a hardware failure problem. Cleaning out the dust, and making sure all your fans work could help with heat. I don't know enough about hardware to know if those temperatures are too high. If you've got a bunch of extra hardware around, you could just try swapping out piece by piece until it stops freezing. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is. GL |

Do themes slow down Ubuntu's performance? This answer is technically correct. However, in most cases, the difference will not be meaningful compared to other things that effect performance (like running more programs at the same time, etc) |

How to save after editting 'vi common.mak' (aircrack-ng) on Ubuntu 12.04 FYI vi is a program, that is editing the file common.mak. To use nano as the answer suggests, type nano common.mak. Or gedit common.mak, etc. FWIW, vi (and vim, which is an improved version) are not intuitive, but if you learn them, they are very powerful. I use vim all the time. |

How to merge and pipe results from two different commands to single command? That does work! Help me learn - what exactly are the curly braces doing in here? What other magical powers do they have? |

How to merge and pipe results from two different commands to single command? The wc -l was just a made up example, i'm actually piping it into something more complicated that doesn't have this option. |

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS keeps crashing and hanging on my company's PC Welcome to AU. Please include more details. What "process keeps increasing to 99%" before it freezes? Does this happen no matter what application you are trying to run? Have you tried booting into recovery mode? |

Unable to login as root from the login screen even though I have a root account @Tapas If you have just recently installed, the easiest way to fix this would be to simply install from scratch. However, if you do already have files you want to save, boot from the CD (or DVD or flash drive) you used for the installation. From there, you should be able to fix whatever is broken. (If you need more help fixing the partition, I'd recommend putting in a new question - I don't know enough to help with that) |

Xubuntu 12.4 upgraded fine but there are everywhere pale grey windows/menus with white fonts! Note - if this does work, you'll still have your configuration files, and you can move the back over (IE from .config/xfce4_backup to .config/xfce4) one at a time to figure out which one is causing the error. That way you don't lose your configuration. |
