In fact the thing that caught my eye was that many of my icons (particularly Spotify and Banshee) in my normally beautifully clear Unity sidebar looked slightly off - that is a little pixelated and a bit rough.

How to Fix Ugly/Pixelated Unity Icons in 15.04
The first thing I noticed upon upgrading to 15.04 wasn't positive.
In fact the thing that caught my eye was that many of my icons (particularly Spotify and Banshee) in my normally beautifully clear Unity sidebar looked slightly off - that is a little pixelated and a bit rough.

After a little browse online, I discovered that I wasn't the only person to have had this problem and that thankfully this problem was patched in a Unity update.
What I did to fix this issue was re-install the package: unity - 7.3.2+15. 10.20151016-0ubuntu1 via the synaptic package manager.
I then restarted Unity via:
sudo service lightdm restart
To find my icons were all back to their original good-looking selves!

How to play a Video with a Vorbis.acm (vo3+) Audio Codec - uBuntu 12.10
Lately I've been getting the following error when trying to play video files:
"No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "vo3+". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."
We'll see about that.
It's an audio codec problem (duh) and the absent codec is vorbis.acm, which if my casual Google searches are correct is a Japanese codec.
My initial thought was simply install the codec but I found a faster method. However, it's available here, if you're willing to go that route.
But here's what I did (this should take about 20-25 minutes)
1. Install Avidemux from the software centre.
2. Open the file and rip the audio.
Open -> File (Open the video file with the vo3+ audio)
Audio -> Save (This'll rip the audio to a location of your choosing)
It's a good idea to save the audio in Home to make the next step easier.
3. Download ogmtools (available from software centre) and run ogmdemux.
ogmdemux -nv -v /home/username/sample.ogg (or wherever your file is located)
(-nv because there's no video stream, -v to show the process in terminal)
The output file should be in your home folder, regardless of where the input file was.
4. Install Sound Converter from the Software centre.
So by now you should now have a working audio file still in .ogg format.
All that's left is to tack it back to the original video.
Open the audio file in Sound Converter then go
Preferences -> Type of Result -> mp3
Then hit convert. This should take a few minutes depending on how big your file is and the quality you want it to be in. Afterwards you should have a working .mp3 audio file.
5. Last step - Open Avidemux again then open the video file.
Audio -> MP3-Lame (Drop down menu - Change from Copy)
Now this time from the top menu:
Audio -> Main Track -> External Mp3 -> (Select mp3 File)
Finally:
File -> Save -> Save Video
And you should now have a video file with working audio.
