Fix Some Ubuntu Jaunty Annoyances

On this blog I always try to give a better Ubuntu experience or give some choices to people unlike Microsoft Windows.This time we will fix a couple of Ubuntu Jaunty annoyances.

1- Renable CTRL+Alt+Backspace Shortcut

I wrote a blog post about this a couple of days ago.You can find the blog post here.

2- Low Sound Volume

I found that Ubuntu Jaunty's default sound is not maxed out.To fix it give this command and open alsamixer (you can find the screenshot below):

$alsamixer

Max out Master channel with the arrow keys, esc to exit.



Save your setting with this command :

$sudo alsactl store

3- Restore Normal Update Manager Behaviour

With Ubuntu Jaunty, the update manager's behaviour is changed.Now you will be informed once a week for available updates.You can change it to old behaviour or the time limit.

Open Gconf-editor with :

$gconf-editor

command and navigate to apps > update-notifier.Tick auto_launch and you can set a regular_auto_launch_interval (0 = launch as soon as updates become available)

4 - The Tool Tip Annoyance

When you are using the Workspace Switcher applet, tool tips might stay up until you press them.To fix it, open Gconf-editor via :

$gconf-editor

command and navigate to apps > panel > global.Untick tooltips_enabled.
