comment Cannot use super+space as a shortcut in XFCE
That still does not help. I have long uninstalled yakuake and xfce will not let me use super space as a keyboard shortcut for anything. My only reasoning for bringing up yakuake was that it can use super+space whilst any app in xfce cannot (even if all kde apps are uninstalled).

This is entirely not an answer to my question. Not to be rude, but I already have xfce4-terminal with dropdown mode installed. My question is the super+space issue.

@maggotbrain Considering that it's in the man page, yes.

comment AR9285 Wireless (Yet another) on Acer Aspire One 532h-2676
This worked for me. I recently installed ubuntu 12.04 on my Aspire One, and out of the box, the wifi worked fine, but after a particular update, everything went to crap. Constant reconnects every few seconds. This solution worked for me on my Aspire One 532h-2588, though I'd imagine it'd work for anyone with the same series of network with the same wirelesss card.

comment Easily add mount points to Ubuntu
@Zabba, sorry I kinda fell off the site for a while. That'd be the elementary theme on GNOME.

comment How do I display more than 5 bookmarks in gnome-panel “Places” menu?
Since I can't comment (yet), I'll have to post an answer. Just to further Oli's comment, here is an ubuntuforums thread on how to patch gnome-menu to support more bookmarks.

comment How can I reduce the time taken to login by postponing/delaying some startup applications?
@ændrük I always refer to Greycat's wiki when I'm unsure about quoting and other 'best practices'.

I'd be sure to trim startup programs and services too, if you haven't already.

comment What are the common maintenance tasks?
In most cases, I'd avoid computer-janitor as much as possible. It's simply not a good program.

I love aptitude as much as the next guy, but from what I read, using it has no advantages over apt anymore. I still use it though.

I'll add Air apps to the list, though on x64 linux, Air is a tad spotty (and is the sole reason why my case fan kicks into high).

comment Multiple shortcuts for same functionality
Alternatively, you can install it via the Software Center, if we didn't assume that already.

comment Partition advice, how can I stop running out of space on “/” partition?
I would also like to recommend installing something like localepurge. ubuntu-tweak also has an excellent system cleaner (I'd avoid computer-janitor). Of course, there are also system cleaners like bleachbit and fslint.

comment Which app can I use for easily annotating pictures/screenshots?
+1 for shutter. Awesome screenshotting tool. The only thing it's been missing is imgur support.

Hmm... I just don't like that it fills my entire scrollback.

example usage: iostat -d 10 /dev/sda will give you the io utilization in 10 second intervals of /dev/sda. I'd almost use watch iostat -d /dev/sda over its interval option. Edit: beat me to it while I was typing :)
