Hi Travis,

I have tried the Jupiter-Applet on my VGN-Z21MN with Ubuntu Precise
(updated from Oneiric) by adding the ppa:webupd8team/jupiter (for
Oneiric) to my sources lists and i found some issues which must be
changed in the Code (I've already filed a bugreport to the developers):

1)
Jupiter makes changes to /etc/sudoers file wich is EVIL!
There should be added a File 'jupiter' to the /etc/sudoers.d/
(include-)directory instead according to `man sudoers` or even use
more integrated mechanisms for that instead of sudoers "ALL:NOPASSWD".
(Very important because users will get a for some people difficult to
understand question when sudoers itself get updated!)

2)
The Sudoers Entry gives sudo rights for a file called
/usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/camera
that in fact does not (more?) exist! (Very unclean package with a lot
of old ore unused code or files like i.e some complete .svn directories)

3)
In the files
/usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/bluetooth
and
/usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/wifi
they use a "hardcoded" path to '/sbin/rfkill'
That is not good. What do they think the `$PATH` is for?
rfkill on Ubuntu is in the /usr/sbin dir and not in /sbin so the
rfkill-part will never work that way on Ubuntu!

I fixed those parts for me and, yes, some of the features are nice but
i am not a fan of c# with mono (*.exe files reminds me too much of
Windows). It is good that mono exists but this could better be done
with python. (Just my personal opinion)
