Jan 15	comment	How do I change the wallpaper in LightDM? I have two users, each with different (custom) wallpapers. I want one user to display his own wallpapaer on the login screen, but I want the other one to display the default warty-final-ubuntu one. How would I do this? Is it even possible, without an extra program, to set login backgrounds on a per-user basis other than the user's wallpaper?
Jan 15	comment	How To Change Login Screen Background On 11.10 What's weird, is that warty-final-ubuntu.png is actually a Jpeg with a PNG extension. Don't believe me? Open it in Gimp, or right-click, go to the Image tab, and look. (The Summary tab names it as PNG, just because of the extension, but the Image tab actually looks at the data, or at least the header.)

Jan 15	comment	Why does the screen refuse to lock after I installed LXDE? YES! Both users can now be locked without issue.
Jan 15	comment	Why does the screen refuse to lock after I installed LXDE? Aha. `sudo apt-get install gnome-screensaver` fixed it. (I want to keep XScreensaver installed, as that's the only working option for LXDE.) Now I just have to figure out what to add to the startup file: `gnome-screensaver --display=?` I've tried numbers, but that doesn't work. EDIT: @iSeth, I just saw your answer, and tried that. So far, logged into the primary account, all is fine - will reply with info after logging into the LXDE account.

Jan 4	comment	How to manually set color of Unity Panel? Lol, your bug was the opposite of mine: my launcher was 100% opaque, yours was always stuck with some translucency. Well, I found out that MyUnity allows you to change the color w/o any transparency issues (it also allows you to change the transparency without problems!) so I went ahead and posted+accepted an answer.

Jan 2	comment	Wine has dependency issues I'm running 64-bit 12.04 Precise. Do your instructions still apply? If not, please tell me what I need to do.
Jan 2	comment	Wine has dependency issues Okay, after `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade`, I did that, and got nothing important.

Dec 29	comment	How to force installation of incompatible extensions in Chromium/Chrome? YES! THAT ANSWER FIXED IT!!! :D
Dec 29	comment	How to force installation of incompatible extensions in Chromium/Chrome? I'm actually trying to figure out how to upgrade Chromium... It's a real pain, as the only downloads easily available are either useless source code, or outdated. Right now, I'm looking at this question to try to figure it out.
Dec 29	comment	How to force installation of incompatible extensions in Chromium/Chrome? I know, use, and love this extension, and, like I said, I have used it before on Chroumuim on Ubuntu. The "Add to Chrome button" is greyed out, and there is a yellow box saying "This application is not supported on this computer. Installation has been disabled." When installing a Firefox Add-on, you can simply click the button, then tell it that you want to install anyway, but this isn't working here.

Dec 27	comment	How do I install uTorrent? @marcus Ah-ha, turns out I'd made some rather noobish mistakes along the way; fixed it by adding the `-f` flag.

Dec 25	comment	What are the pros and cons of each USB disk format? Lol, maybe you save 1KB of overhead... I don't think that, with today's technology, there are any significant advantages to not partitioning.
Dec 23	comment	What are the pros and cons of each USB disk format? @Kangaroo Well, a non-partitioned hard drive can't be partitioned, obviously, but overall MBR seems like the best: NTFS support, bootable, etc. Unless the whole drive is encrypted, any possible security doesn't really matter.
