So far, I get an error, "Sorry Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error". Unity crashed because it could not interpret my locale, en_NG. I just included it and specified the en_GB locale settings for en_NG in the python locales file (/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py), and the error is gone!

henryskywalker2003:
Am getting the same error. How do I add it?

Maleeq:
Open a terminal and enter: gksu gedit /usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py (Enter your password when prompted)
In the editor that opens up, search for "en_gb"
Copy the entire line, and paste onto a new line.
In the newly pasted line, change the "en_gb" to[b] "en_ng"[/b]
save the file and exit....and you are done!

henryskywalker2003:

little problem, there are more than one place where that string occured in the said file. I later pick the one that said "en_gb = english british" and replicated it at the bottom changing the gb to ng but I still get the same error.

Then again, if i dont pick .....1, ......2 for the gateway/server/printer statics does it matter? i used an arbitrary number in the range for the statics

blackweaver: Anybody tried Mageia linux? checked distrowatch and it's currently ranked just below ubuntu; apparently it's based on mandriva. I'm just curious, does anyone know why it's suddenly so popular?

4llerbuntu: Distrowatch is a measure of interest, not adoption or use.

i hear about a new distro, i look it up on distrowatch. may even download it sef, does not mean i use it.

sheruppp: yes in Ubuntu there is no need to install extra supporting software as in Linux

ishika roi: Actually my first installation of ubuntu was not successfull and then i tried for the second time and then it was ok without any hanging problem it got installed. after installing ubuntu my system is ok. now there are no problem with my system. I am having an ubuntu CD.

‘Take the initiative’

“Four years ago we set a challenge for Ubuntu, and we said ‘Okay we want to get into design, we want to really focus on the user experience, we want to innovate, and we want to see if we can get ahead of Apple, ahead of Microsoft,” Shuttleworth told the OSCON audience prior to the Unity WebApps demo.



“We [thought we] should take the initiative and lead.”



Noble ambitions. To do this Canonical assembled a design team in London to take on, what Shuttleworth refers to as ‘a radical goal’ – that of multi-form factor design.

“We said ‘We have this desktop, and it’s a very popular desktop; lots of people love it. But we believe that the future looks like this diverse collection of form factors. We want to have a user experience that spans a range of form-factors, e.g. a desktop, a tablet, and a phone, and, in fact, we even wanted a TV as well!”

“Screw it”



Although convergence of devices and UIs is no longer something that unique – Google’s Android spans Phones, Netbooks, Tablets, TVs, and headless streaming devices – the challenge presented by this ‘strategy’ wasn’t quite so clear cut at the time.

‘Different form factors [have] different constraints and need different interfaces,’ Shuttleworth explains, ‘But they can be, we believe, part of one family.’

“It was a very controversial at the time.”
