comment How to upgrade kile2.1 beta 4 to kile-2.1.3 in ubuntu 11.04?
There is a Ubuntu Stackexchange sister site askubuntu.org which is better suited for questions about installing and updating Ubuntu packages. (The exeption is (La)TeX, e.g. TeXLive, itself)

comment Disable notifications about new spam emails with indicator app / thunderbird
@MarkRooney: It works, but then I only have notifications about mails in the main Inbox. I sort some mails in sub-folders on the server. However, there seems to be no option to specify specific folders in thunderbird. I guess this can be closed as dup after all.

Changed fixed kernel release to `uname -r`. Removed `shutdown` line for saver cut & paste.

comment Volume and other indicators disappeared in the classic desktop
ALT+Win+Right Click? Why did they change this from a simple right click or made it something easy like CTRL+Right Click. I was under the impression that "Add to Panel" was gone for good.

comment Remove documentation to save hard drive space
I was not aware that the directory names under /usr/share/doc are the packages names. At least of some this seems to be true. I used du -sc * | sort -n in /usr/share/doc. Most space was taken from the TeX Live 2009 documentation files which I don't want anyway, because I have the manually installed TL 2011 ones. Thanks, while I still like to see if there is a way to tell apt-get to get ride of most documentation, this solution worked out fine for this case.

comment How do I set PATH variables for all users on a server?
@frabjous: The symlink option seems to be now missing from the installer. I installed TeXLive 2011 today and could find it anymore. I installed TeXLive in multiple versions at least a dozen times before, so I wondered why it isn't there anymore.
