When typing Esc within an Emacs window under Unity (Emacs 23 standard package), the sound is turned on/off, but Emacs does not receive the key.
How can I change (probably) unity such that the Esc and also the other function keys are interpreted by Emacs?
A very crude workaround that always works in (GNU) Emacs is to use C-[ in place of Esc.
The question Why is the meta key is not working wh
With most programs, context (right-click) menus and other menus have a shadow under them to indicate that they're separate from the rest of the program. This makes them easy to read. In LibreOffice, however, menus don't have shadows, and the top menu (file/edit/view, etc) is still in the program window itself, instead of in the global menu. How can I fix these problems?
Just installed Audacity 2.0 from the Universe repository for Precise. If I select Preferences from the Edit menu, and then ok the dialog, all of the menus except the "Fi" of the File menu are blanked out by a white bar (see attached image). As soon as I resize the Audacity window, the menus reappear.

I have noticed that some colors in LS_COLORS don't work when running a shell inside M-x-ansi-term in Emacs.
For exmaple;
di 00 94
is supposed to turn on bold on light blue on directories on LS_COLORS (see a list of the codes here), but ansi-term in Emacs does not show it in color.
I had some broken package problems, and had to reinstall ubuntu-desktop, libqtgui4 and some other system packages.
I am working through the "Emacs Lisp Intro" book within Emacs 23.4.1 on Debian Wheezy (CrunchBang Waldorf).
Section 4.1 discusses the find-tags command and the TAGS file. Instructions are included to build/install the TAGS file if necessary.
How do I do this in Debian?
Some Web authoring programs are very easy to use, like OpenOffice.org, but produce horrendously complicated HTML files. Other applications are geared toward twiddling every single tag, like Bluefish. Kompozer strikes a good balance with a nice user interface, clean tagging, and built-in publishing features.
Color is not typically a topic of much discussion on the Linux blogs, but in recent weeks, it's been drawing a lot of attention. Why, you ask? Simple: Ubuntu recently announced a major change to its longstanding "Human" earthtone-palette theme and branding.
