Loud pop on shutdown/reboot In my case, clicking doesn't occur when shutting down Windows, only when shutting down Ubuntu. Of course, the cause of the click is physical - capacitor or spark, but the pre-cause is possible the disgraceful shutting down of the sound card. |

English as a system language but Russian regional settings All 1-4 agreed. As for 5: since Unity and since gnome2 is no more, I prefer using xfce/lxde. |

English as a system language but Russian regional settings Problem is that /etc/papersize works only for those programs that use libpaper or read and honor it. For example, OpenOffice ignores this file. Also, gnome-language-selector is only relevant to gnome environment. |

How do I install the ethernet drivers in ubuntu 10.04 That kind of installation compromises the package management state. There is a package "compat-wireless-...", install it using the package manager instead. |

Ubuntu 12.04 Dual Monitor Config Problem There's a tweak in xorg.conf for nvidia drivers that forces the detection of an absent monitor as if was plugged in. The exact tweak is described in readme file which is distributed along with the nvidia driver. |

How do I install the ethernet drivers in ubuntu 10.04 Obviously, there's no universal answer to your question. Typical sequence is to look thru the devices list as LnxSlck pointed out, then to find the unclaimed ethernet device, discover it's PCI Vendor IDs and google them. |

DHCP server not routing to connect to internet for clients Do sudo watch -n 1 -d iptables -nvL then try to reach the internet from your client machine while watching the counters. Do they show FORWARD rule increasing? |

DHCP server not routing to connect to internet for clients Also, your gateway address equals to the interface address itself. |

DHCP server not routing to connect to internet for clients You've got damn lots of misprints in your configuration files. First, default configuration file for dhcp is /etc/default/dhcp-server. Second, network configuration file is /etc/network/interfaces. Third, gateway specification keyword is gateway. |

How to prevent “automatic” bold version of a font to be wider than regular having the same pt size? @zetah: I looked thru different font files and looks like that indeed the change of the width only happens when there's no dedicated bold version of the font. I'm going to update the question with more screenshots. |

How to prevent “automatic” bold version of a font to be wider than regular having the same pt size? That's not true. Fonts that have both regular and bold typefaces provided in separate files have same char width in regular and in bold. For example, LetterGothic. |
