[125005730010] |SSHerminator - Nice split screen terminal emulator and SSH client
[125005730020] |SSHerminator is combination of Terminator and HotSSH
[125005730030] |What is Terminator
[125005730040] |Terminator is to produce an efficient way of filling a large area of screen space with terminals.
[125005730050] |This is done by splitting the window into a resizeable grid of terminals.
[125005730060] |As such, you can produce a very flexible arrangements of terminals for different tasks.
[125005730070] |What is HotSSH
[125005730080] |HotSSH is an interface to Secure Shell, for GNOME and OpenSSH.
[125005730090] |It intends to be a better experience than simply invoking “ssh” from an existing terminal window.
[125005730100] |Fast search-based interface for new connections Also display and search of local (Avahi) SSH servers Tabbed display with automatic session saving (Firefox style) Status bar with information like latency to server and output of remote uptime Close integration with OpenSSH features like connection sharing (near-instant new tabs) NetworkManager integration to easily reconnect after a network change, great for laptops

[125005740010] |How to change the MySQL data default directory
[125005740020] |MySQL is a widely used and fast SQL database server.
[125005740030] |It is a client/server implementation that consists of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client programs/libraries.
[125005740040] |If you want to install Mysql database server in Ubuntu check this tutorial.
[125005740050] |What is Mysql Data Directory?
[125005740060] |Mysql data directory is important part where all the mysql databases storage location.By default MySQL data default directory located in /var/lib/mysql.If you are running out of space in /var partition you need to move this to some other location.
[125005740070] |Note:- This is only for advanced users and before moving default directory make a backup of your mysal databases.
[125005740080] |Procedure to follow
[125005740090] |Open the terminal
[125005740100] |First you need to Stop MySQL using the following command
[125005740110] |sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[125005740120] |Now Copy the existing data directory (default located in /var/lib/mysql) using the following command
[125005740130] |sudo cp -R -p /var/lib/mysql /path/to/new/datadir
[125005740140] |All you need are the data files, so delete the others with the command
[125005740150] |sudo rm /path/to/new/datadir
[125005740160] |Note:- You will get a message about not being able to delete some directories, but that’s what you want.
[125005740170] |Now edit the MySQL configuration file with the following command
[125005740180] |gksu gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[125005740190] |Look for the entry for “datadir”, and change the path (which should be “/var/lib/mysql”) to the new data directory.
[125005740200] |Important Note:-From Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) forward, Ubuntu uses some security software called AppArmor that specifies the areas of your filesystem applications are allowed to access.
[125005740210] |Unless you modify the AppArmor profile for MySQL, you’ll never be able to restart MySQL with the new datadir location.
[125005740220] |In the terminal, enter the command
[125005740230] |sudo gedit /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
[125005740240] |Copy the lines beginning with “/var/lib/mysql”, comment out the originals with hash marks (“#”), and paste the lines below the originals.
[125005740250] |Now change “/var/lib/mysql” in the two new lines with “/path/to/new/datadir”.
[125005740260] |Save and close the file.
[125005740270] |Restart the AppArmor profiles with the command
[125005740280] |sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload
[125005740290] |Restart MySQL with the command
[125005740300] |sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[125005740310] |Now MySQL should start with no errors, and your data will be stored in the new data directory location.
[125005750010] |Apt-Cacher-NG - HTTP download proxy for software packages
[125005750020] |Apt-Cacher-ng is a software package that keeps a cache, on the disk, of Debian/Ubuntu Packages and Release files.When an apt-get like client issues a request for a file, Apt-Cacher intercepts it and if the file is already cached it serves it to the client immediately, otherwise it fetches the file from the Internet, saves it on the cache, and then serves it to the client.
[125005750030] |This means that several Debian machines can be upgraded but each package need to be downloaded only once.
[125005750040] |Apt-Cacher-NG does not require neither an interpreter, nor a web server and not even a huge runtime library.
[125005750050] |It does never fork after server startup, it does not create flag files, flock() files or similar fun.
[125005750060] |Instead, it uses native system functions (mmap, sendfile) to operate with few overhead.
[125005750070] |Apt-cacher-ng caches the repo’s from the different versions of ubuntu quite nicely.
[125005750080] |It even nicely supports the different installs of intrepid in my home with different personal package archives (PPA, you know as in ppa.launchpad.net/*).
[125005750090] |Install Apt-Cacher-NG in Ubuntu Intrepid
[125005750100] |First you need to download the latest version of Apt-Cacher-NG from here or using the following command
[125005750110] |wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher-ng_0.3.3-1_i386.deb
[125005750120] |Install .deb package using the following command
[125005750130] |sudo dpkg -i apt-cacher-ng_0.3.3-1_i386.deb
[125005750140] |or you can use the following command to install
[125005750150] |sudo apt-get install apt-cacher-ng
[125005750160] |Now you need to Add a proxy entry to the apt system
[125005750170] |Configure the apt system (apt-get, aptitude, etc.) to use apt-cacher-ng
[125005750180] |$ echo ‘Acquire::http { Proxy “http://localhost:3142″; };’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy
[125005750190] |Run the following command if you need to disable it
[125005750200] |sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy
[125005750210] |Add a proxy entry to the Synaptic system for this go to: Settings->Preferences->Network->Manual Proxy Configuration and enter
[125005750220] |HTTP Proxy: localhost 3142
[125005750230] |FTP Proxy: localhost 3142
[125005750240] |Click OK
[125005750250] |Click Reload
[125005750260] |Dashboard &manual
[125005750270] |For apt-cacher-ng dashboard use the following URL
[125005750280] |http://localhost:3142/acng-report.html
[125005750290] |For apt-cacher-ng manual: (right click &) open with your browser
[125005750300] |file:///usr/share/doc/apt-cacher-ng/html/index.html
[125005750310] |Import .deb files from the local apt cache
[125005750320] |apt-cacher-ng use the .deb files that are already in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[125005750330] |sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/_import
[125005750340] |sudo chown apt-cacher-ng /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/_import
[125005750350] |Now open browser using the following URL
[125005750360] |http://localhost:3142/acng-report.html
[125005750370] |and click “Start Import”
[125005750380] |Configure Client Machines
[125005750390] |If you want to use apt-cache-ng in ubuntu or debian clients use the following command to use this proxy
[125005750400] |$ echo ‘Acquire::http { Proxy “http://serverip:3142″; };’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy
[125005760010] |Workaround for Thunderbird not starting via profile manager
[125005760020] |When you try to open thunderbird vis profile manager you might see similar to the following error
[125005760030] |The program ‘thunderbird-bin’ received an X Window System error.
[125005760040] |This probably reflects a bug in the program.
[125005760050] |The error was ‘BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)’.
[125005760060] |(Details: serial 5310 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
[125005760070] |To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior.
[125005760080] |You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
[125005760090] |Solution 1
[125005760100] |Step 1
[125005760110] |Make note of the all profile names that you have created.
[125005760120] |Step 2
[125005760130] |Right click on the top panel between clock and System and select “Add to panel” then select “Own program activator” in my version this is the first option on the list.
[125005760140] |Put as follows: Type – Program Name- Thunderbird username Command- thunderbird -p username Comments – username – Thunderbird Click OK
[125005760150] |Step 3
[125005760160] |By now your should have thunderbird activator for required profile next move is to create one for the other profiles.
[125005760170] |To make icons different I would suggest to take thunderbird icon and turn it red using Gimp so you can easily distinguish which is which.
[125005760180] |Once this is completed repeat step 2 but before you click OK do the following:
[125005760190] |click on the thunderbird icon and select your modified icon then click OK
[125005760200] |Solution 2
[125005760210] |Make sure you have the following package installed
[125005760220] |sudo aptitude install thunderbird-gnome-support

[125005780010] |Howto get Wii Remote working in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)
[125005780020] |This tutorial will explain howto get a Wii remote working as a mouse / keyboard / joystick in Ubuntu intrepid Ibex 8.10.
[125005780030] |Requirements
[125005780040] |Your computer must have a known working bluetooth adapter, a Wii remote.
[125005780050] |An infra-red light source is required if you wish to use your Wii remote to behave like a mouse from an IR light source, such as the Wii sensor bar, some candles, an incandescent light, etc.
[125005780060] |An IR LED pen is required if you wish to setup a whiteboard with your Wii remote.
[125005780070] |Preparing your System
[125005780080] |Open up a terminal (Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal) and enter the following command
[125005780090] |sudo aptitude install wminput wmgui lswm
[125005780100] |Next, we need to find the bluetooth device address of your Wii remote, this will allow you to connect to your Wii remote faster in future, and will let you know if your system can connect to your Wii remote via bluetooth.
[125005780110] |In a terminal type the following command
[125005780120] |lswm
[125005780130] |And press buttons 1 &2 on your wiimote to put it in discovery mode.
[125005780140] |If you don’t see something that looks like 00:2A:34:95:FE:B0 then keep on running lswm / pressing buttons 1 + 2 on your Wii remote until you do.
[125005780150] |Please note down the number that lswm returns (that looks similar to 00:2A:34:95:FE:B0), this is your Wii remote bluetooth address (Keep in mind that the number given here is an example).
[125005780160] |Check to see if all the capabilities of your Wii Remote (and extra controllers) work
[125005780170] |Start up wmgui (Applications --> Accessories --> Wmgui).
[125005780180] |wmgui is an easy application that’s good to use for simple diagnostics on your wiimote, nunchuk and classic controller.
[125005780190] |Allow your Wii remote to be a keyboard / mouse / joystick
[125005780200] |Unless you want to run sudo modprobe uinput every time you start Ubuntu, it’s recommended that you make it automatically run upon Ubuntu start up.
[125005780210] |Open a terminal and type
[125005780220] |gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[125005780230] |Insert this line at the end of the file
[125005780240] |uinput
[125005780250] |So the whole file should look exactly like this
[125005780260] |# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded # at boot time, one per line.
[125005780270] |Lines beginning with “#” are ignored.
[125005780280] |fuse lp sbp2 uinput
[125005780290] |You have to restart your computer for the settings to take effect.
[125005780300] |Using your Wii remote as a mouse using acceleration data
[125005780310] |If you want to use your Wii remote as a mouse by tilting your Wii remote, then press buttons 1 + 2 on your Wii remote and from a terminal run this
[125005780320] |gksudo wminput [your wiimote's bluetooth address]
[125005780330] |Please use your bluetooth device address for your Wii remote (the one that lswm returned).
[125005780340] |Using your Wii remote as a mouse using an Infra-Red light source
[125005780350] |There’s a configuration file that you must first edit before this is possible.
[125005780360] |From a terminal, type the following command
[125005780370] |gksudo gedit /etc/cwiid/wminput/ir_ptr
[125005780380] |Find these lines
[125005780390] |Plugin.ir_ptr.X = ~ABS_X Plugin.ir_ptr.Y = ~ABS_Y
[125005780400] |and replace it with
[125005780410] |Plugin.ir_ptr.X = ABS_X Plugin.ir_ptr.Y = ABS_Y
[125005780420] |To get your Wii remote to track IR light sources, press buttons 1 + 2 on your Wii remote and from a terminal run this
[125005780430] |gksudo wminput -c ir_ptr [your wiimote's bluetooth address]
[125005780440] |Please use your bluetooth device address for your Wii remote.
[125005780450] |Swapping default left and right mouse buttons
[125005780460] |If you prefer the left mouse button to be button B (the trigger) on your Wii remote, and the right mouse button to be button A on your Wii remote, then from a terminal run this
[125005780470] |gksudo gedit /etc/cwiid/wminput/buttons
[125005780480] |Find these lines
[125005780490] |Wiimote.A = BTN_LEFT Wiimote.B = BTN_RIGHT
[125005780500] |and replace it with
[125005780510] |Wiimote.A = BTN_RIGHT Wiimote.B = BTN_LEFT
[125005780520] |Using your Wii remote and IR LED pen as a whiteboard
[125005780530] |First you need to download latest .deb from here or using the following command
[125005780540] |wget http://linux-whiteboard.googlecode.com/files/whiteboard_0.3.4.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[125005780550] |install this .deb file using the following command
[125005780560] |sudo dpkg -i whiteboard_0.3.4.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[125005780570] |Using your Wii remote for watching DVDs, Elisa Media Center, Music players, etc
[125005780580] |I’ve setup on my system 2 icons in my gnome panel that I can click on if I want to connect to my Wii Remote and use it’s IR light tracking ability as a mouse, and the other to turn off the wminput daemon that I started on the other icon.
[125005780590] |Right click on an empty part of the Gnome panel and select “Add to Panel…”, then “Custom Application Launcher” then press the “+Add” button.
[125005780600] |Type in a name for it, for the command, use this
[125005780610] |gksudo wminput -d -c ir_ptr [your wiimote's bluetooth address here]
[125005780620] |For IR mode.
[125005780630] |If you want to use ACC (accelerometer mode) the command should be:
[125005780640] |gksudo wminput [your wiimote's bluetooth address here]
[125005780650] |The gksudo is important because if you use sudo only you won’t see any prompt to type in your password, and in Intrepid it IS necessary to be root to activate wminput.
[125005780660] |Select a nice icon for it if you wish, then press close.
[125005780670] |To create another icon to kill all running wminput processes, do the same as above, but for the command use this
[125005780680] |gksudo killall wminput
[125005780690] |Use gksudo here too because you might need to type in your password again.
[125005780700] |The advantage of using these two icons to run wminput, is that you can turn off your Wii remote (by pressing and holding the power button on your Wii remote) when you start watching a DVD / listening to music to save battery power, then if you wish to start using your Wii remote again, simply press buttons 1 + 2 on your Wii remote and Ubuntu will automatically connect to your Wii remote again as before without having to pick up a keyboard or mouse to do so.

[125005790010] |Howto Reinstall all of currently installed packages in fresh Ubuntu install
[125005790020] |People sometimes have to do a reinstall of their Ubuntu system for various reasons (been playing/experimenting with configuration/drivers/other packages or just because something is badly broken) but remembering all the extra packages you have installed can be a chore - but here is the simple solution: On your old system (assuming it is still working), start up Synaptic and go:
[125005790030] |File-Save Markings and choose a file name along with a location (like a USB drive) that you can use when you have installed your new system and make sure you have checked “save full state, not just changes” option click on Save.
[125005790040] |This file contains a list of all your currently installed packages, and when you have installed and booted up your new system (and configured your repositories to the best for your location ) then start up Synaptic and go
[125005790050] |File-Read Markings and point it at your saved file, and after that has completed then select Apply to kick off the download &installation of all of those packages you had installed previously!
[125005790060] |There are also apt-get command line functions that achieve the same outcome, so those who don’t have/use Synaptic can still do this.
[125005790070] |You will still have to do any special configuration changes that you had on the old system, but at least all of the packages are now in the new system.
[125005790080] |This is also very handy for moving to new hardware/duplicating setups etc.
[125005790090] |Be aware that doing this between different Ubuntu versions may cause complications because some packages may not be in a later version or have different names.
[125005790100] |Note:- Don’t forget to backup your sources before you reinstall.
[125005790110] |sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/sources.list.backup
[125005790120] |Otherwise if you have added any PPAs or other sources, this tip won’t work.

[125005800090] |Next we are going to have to edit the azureus script in order to point it to the location we are going to move the core files to.
[125005800100] |cd vuze
[125005800110] |gedit azureus
[125005800120] |Now find this line in the file:
[125005800130] |#PROGRAM_DIR=”/home/username/apps/azureus” # use full path to Azureus bin dir
[125005800140] |and replace it with this:
[125005800150] |PROGRAM_DIR=”/usr/share/vuze”
[125005800160] |Remember to remove the # or else it won’t work.
[125005800170] |Now it is time to move everything where it needs to be.
[125005800180] |While still in the vuze directory in the terminal type:
[125005800190] |sudo mv “azureus” “/usr/bin/azureus”
[125005800200] |sudo mv “vuze” “/usr/bin/vuze”
[125005800210] |cd ..

[125005800230] |That’s it your done!
[125005800240] |Happy torrenting
[125005800250] |Optional Steps:
[125005800260] |Make it so Vuze can update itself now:
[125005800270] |sudo chown -R 777 /usr/share/vuze
[125005800280] |Add icon to applications menu:
[125005800290] |Goto System->Main Menu->Internet->New Item
[125005800300] |Type:Application
[125005800310] |Name: Vuze
[125005800320] |Command: vuze
[125005800330] |In order to get the frog icon for it click the spring board looking icon on this dialog to the left.
[125005800340] |Where it says browse type in /usr/share/vuze and wait a second for it to load.
[125005800350] |You should now see something called vuze.png.

[125005850010] |Creating an adhoc host with Ubuntu
[125005850020] |Have you ever needed to wirelessly network a Windows PC’s directly to a Ubuntu machine?
[125005850030] |In other words, you lack a router, switch, or other networking mechanism, each PC has a wireless device and you need to trade a file or play a network game?
[125005850040] |Read on.
[125005850050] |Ubuntu’s NetworkManager 0.7.0 contains the necessary features for creating an Ubuntu adhoc network host.
[125005850060] |In Ubuntu:
[125005850070] |Left click on the NetworkManager icon and select Create New Wireless Network
[125005850080] |Specify an adhoc network name, i.e. UbuntuAdhoc
[125005850090] |Select your favorite security method (this example specifies None)
[125005850100] |Click the Create button
[125005850110] |As of Ubuntu 8.10, NetworkManager pretends to connect to the newly created UbuntuAdhoc wireless network but inevitably fails and the NetworkManager defaults back to the last successful network connection.
[125005850120] |See below to rectify.
[125005850130] |Editing Network Connections:
[125005850140] |Click on the NetworkManager icon, select Edit Connections.
[125005850150] |Select the Wireless tab, select the UbuntuAdhoc network and click the edit button.
[125005850160] |Editing the UbuntAhoc network:
[125005850170] |Click the Connect automatically check-box
[125005850180] |On the Wireless tab, ensure the mode is set to Ad-hoc
[125005850190] |Select the Ipv4 Settings tab
[125005850200] |Select the Manual method in the drop down
[125005850210] |Click the Add button and enter a local IP address, Netmask and Gateway, i.e. 192.255.0.1, 255.255.255.0, and 1.1.1.1 respectively.
[125005850220] |Leave DNS Servers and Search Domains blank
[125005850230] |Click OK.
[125005850240] |Connecting your Ubuntu session to the new adhoc Network:
[125005850250] |Left click on the NetworkManager icon and select Connect to Hidden Wireless Network…
[125005850260] |Select UbuntuAdhoc on the connection dropdown and click Connect.
[125005850270] |Voila, your Ubuntu session should be connected to itself.
[125005850280] |Hover over NetworkManager icon, and you should see the yellow message: Wireless network connection to ‘UbuntuAdhoc‘ (0%).
[125005850290] |Note: the NetworkManager bars will appear empty since the network adapter technically is not connected to any network.
[125005850300] |These bars remain empty even when another computer joins the network.
[125005850310] |Regardless, the connection will work fine.
[125005850320] |In Windows XP:
[125005850330] |Wireless Connection Properties:
[125005850340] |Right click the Wireless Connection icon (either from the Windows tray or via the control panel) and select Properties.
[125005850350] |Ensure to right click on the the windows network icon and not the icon specific to the hardware driver.
[125005850360] |Select TCP/IP option in The connection uses the following items: window, and click the Properties button.
[125005850370] |(In this image, I was lazy as I used a Lan connection properties window as my virtual XP session did not have a wireless option to capture, but TCP/IP example is identical).
[125005850380] |Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties:
[125005850390] |Specify an IP address within a few increments of the Ubuntu IP address, i.e. 192.255.0.2.
[125005850400] |Ensure to match the subnet mask and gateway to the ones specified in UbuntuAdhoc (255.255.255.0 and 1.1.1.1, respectively).
[125005850410] |Click OK in the both the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window and then Wireless Internet Connection Properties window.
[125005850420] |Click on your respective window wireless connection icon, select UbuntuAdhoc from list of connections and connect.
[125005850430] |Note: Assuming the original IP address was auto selected, ensure to set the Inernet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties back to Obtain an IP address automatically when reconnecting to another wireless network.

[125005930010] |How to Adjust screen resolution on Ubuntu
[125005930020] |If you set a resolution inappropriate for your monitor in the Screen Resolution GUI tool, you can reset it by running rm ~/.config/monitors.xml from a terminal.
[125005930030] |Dynamically testing different resolutions
[125005930040] |You can either use the Screen Resolution GUI tool to experiment with different resolutions, or the more powerful xrandr command-line tool this shows you the names of different outputs available on your system (LVDS, VGA-0, etc.) and resolutions available on each.
[125005930050] |xrandr
[125005930060] |or
[125005930070] |You can direct xrandr to set a different resolution using the following command
[125005930080] |xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024×768 --rate 75
[125005930090] |Add undetected resolutions
[125005930100] |Due to buggy hardware or drivers, your monitor’s correct resolutions may not always be detected
[125005930110] |If the mode already exists, but just isn’t associated for the particular output using the following command
[125005930120] |xrandr --addmode VGA 1024×768
[125005930130] |Note:-These changes you make using xrandr only last through the current session.
[125005930140] |Set xrandr changes persistently
[125005930150] |There are several ways to make xrandr customizations permanent from session to session:
[125005930160] |a) .xprofile
[125005930170] |A user’s ~/.xprofile file is executed on Xorg startup if it exists and is executable.
[125005930180] |You can copy and paste xrandr command line strings into this file so they’re executed when you log in
[125005930190] |b) kdm/gdm
[125005930200] |Both KDM and GDM have startup scripts that are executed when X is initiated.
[125005930210] |For GDM, these are in /etc/gdm/, while for KDM this is done at /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup.
[125005930220] |In either case, you can paste in an xrandr command line string into one of these scripts.
[125005930230] |This process requires root access and mucking around in system config files, but will take effect earlier in the startup process than using .xprofile, and will apply to all users including the login screen.
[125005930240] |c) xorg.conf

[125005940060] |Required Packages
[125005940070] |First you need to get some missing packages with Synaptic.
[125005940080] |These packages were not installed by default but are important for getting your sound working properly:
[125005940090] |asoundconf-gtk
[125005940100] |This is a little Default Sound Card application for choosing the default sound card for alsa.
[125005940110] |gnome-alsamixer
[125005940120] |This is a gui mixer, far easier to use than the command line alsamixer.
[125005940130] |alsa-oss
[125005940140] |This is the wrapper for oss applications so they will use alsa instead of grabbing the sound card all for themselves
[125005940150] |libasound2 libasound2-plugins
[125005940160] |These are the plugins for alsa
[125005940170] |padevchooser
[125005940180] |This is the Pulse Audio device chooser and will pull in the pavucontrol which is the Pulse Audio Volume Control and papref which is the Pulse Audio Preferences along with the Pulse Audio Volume Meters.
[125005940190] |gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
[125005940200] |This is the gstreamer plugin for pulseaudio
[125005940210] |ubuntu-restricted-extras
[125005940220] |This is the package with all the restricted codecs and java and flashplayer so you can watch youtube and play your mp3s,etc..
[125005940230] |If you have other applications like mplayer, vlc, amarok, or audacious be sure to get any extra packages available for them also.
[125005940240] |Single command to install
[125005940250] |sudo apt-get install asoundconf-gtk alsa-oss libasound2 libasound2-plugins padevchooser gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio ubuntu-restricted-extras
[125005940260] |Setting things up
[125005940270] |Once you have all these packages installed, close any application that may be trying to use sound and go to System/Preferences/Sound and set all the preferences from automatic to PulseAudio except Default Mixer Tracks which you should set to your sound card.
[125005940280] |Go to System/Preferences/Default Sound Card and choose pulseaudio.
[125005940290] |Next, right click on the little speaker on the top panel, that is the Panel Volume Control.
[125005940300] |Click Open Volume Control and make sure it is set to the same thing as the Default Mixer Tracks.
[125005940310] |Click on Preferences and make sure that Master and PCM and whatever else you want to control are selected.
[125005940320] |Make sure that any boxes labeled SPDIF or IEC958 are not checked.
[125005940330] |Close the Preferences box.
[125005940340] |Push up the sliders in the volume control and make sure the little speakers do not have little red mute marks on them.
[125005940350] |Go to Applications/Sound and Video/GNOME ALSA Mixer and see if there is anything you missed because sometimes, for some cards, not all the options are in the Panel Volume Control.
[125005940360] |Go to Applications/Sound and Video and select Pulse Audio Device Chooser.
[125005940370] |This will put a little icon on the panel near the Panel Volume Control.
[125005940380] |Click on the new icon and choose Volume Control.
[125005940390] |This will open the Pulse Audio Volume Control.
[125005940400] |Go to Output Devices and see if your sound card is there, it will be listed as ALSA PCM on front:…(ALC8 via DMA or whatever your sound card is.
[125005940410] |If you have a usb device it will be listed as ALSA PCM on front:…(USB Audio) via DMA or something like that.
[125005940420] |Make sure the sliders are up and the device is not muted.
[125005940430] |If any of the above is giving you problems, try rebooting.
[125005940440] |Now, open Rythmbox and play something.
[125005940450] |If you have nothing handy just play one of the radio stations, you should hear something.
[125005940460] |In the Pulse Audio Volume Control/Playback you should see something like this Rythmbox: Playback Stream and some Volume sliders that you can adjust.
[125005940470] |More than one Device
[125005940480] |If you have more than one device listed in Output Devices, Rythmbox may be playing in the wrong one if you do not hear anything so right click on the stream and choose move stream and move it to another device.
[125005940490] |If you have more than one device and you want to use them all, like a usb headset and your speakers, go back to the Pulse Audio Device chooser on the panel and select Configure Local Sound Server/Simultaneous Output and click the box:
[125005940500] |“Add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local sound cards”
[125005940510] |Now you can right click on the stream and move it to your new device.
[125005940520] |You should have sound from all your sound devices now or at least a clue about how it is supposed to work.
[125005940530] |Other stuff
[125005940540] |Another thing you may need to do, Check in System/Administration/Users and Groups that your users and root are enabled as members of the following groups:

[125005970030] |It includes a new consumer-friendly interface that allows users to quickly and easily get on-line and use their favourite applications.
[125005970040] |This interface is optimised for a retail sales environment.
[125005970050] |The Ubuntu Netbook Remix interface is designed to make Ubuntu Linux easy to use on mini-laptops with small, low resolution displays.
[125005970060] |It comes with a custom program launcher that replaces the normal Ubuntu desktop and panels with a series of tabs and program shortcuts.Netbook Remix is not another edition of Ubuntu, like Kubuntu, or Edubuntu, but rather a collection of seven packages that are installed on top of a standard Ubuntu image.
[125005970070] |These packages are available for both Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10
[125005970080] |For Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) users
[125005970090] |Edit your sources.list file using the following command
[125005970100] |sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[125005970110] |Now add these two lines to the end of your source list
[125005970120] |deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu intrepid main
[125005970130] |Save and exit the file.
[125005970140] |Update the sourcelist using the following command
[125005970150] |sudo apt-get update
[125005970160] |Install the Netbook Remix packages
[125005970170] |sudo apt-get install go-home-applet human-netbook-theme maximus netbook-launcher window-picker-applet
[125005970180] |For Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) users
[125005970190] |Edit your sources.list file using the following command
[125005970200] |sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[125005970210] |Now add these two lines to the end of your source list
[125005970220] |deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main
[125005970230] |Save and exit the file.
[125005970240] |Update the sourcelist using the following command
[125005970250] |sudo apt-get update
[125005970260] |Now Install the Netbook Remix packages
[125005970270] |sudo apt-get install go-home-applet human-netbook-theme maximus ume-launcher window-picker-applet
[125005970280] |To Start Ubuntu Netbook Remix Simply reboot your machine
[125005970290] |Configuring Netbook Remix
[125005970300] |For Netbook Remix to work you need to set maximus and ume-launcher (For 8.04 users) or netbook-launcher (For 8.10 Users) to your startup programs.
[125005970310] |Go to System>Preferences>Sessions and add entries for both of these commands.
[125005970320] |Switch between desktop options
[125005970330] |If you want to switch between default desktop and Netbook Remix you need to install Desktop-Switcher utility using the following command
[125005970340] |sudo apt-get install Desktop-Switcher
[125005970350] |The desktop switcher will show up in your System Preferences menu, and it will let you toggle between the ubuntu netbook remix desktop mode or a classic desktop with the click of a button.
[125005980010] |Ubuntu Package management Using dpkg
[125005980020] |Dpkg is the Ubuntu package manager dpkg is a medium-level tool to install, build, remove and manage Ubuntu packages.
[125005980030] |The primary and more user-friendly front-end for dpkg is dselect.dpkg itself is controlled entirely via command line parameters,which consist of exactly one action and zero or more options.
[125005980040] |The action-parameter tells dpkg what to do and options control the behavior of the action in some way.

[125005990010] |Ubuntu 9.04(Jaunty) and Virtualbox video driver for X(Guest Additions)
[125005990020] |When you try to install Guest Additions in Ubuntu 9.04 alpha6 .
[125005990030] |After executing the installer
[125005990040] |sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run x11
[125005990050] |You might see similar to the following error
[125005990060] |Warning: unknown version of the X Window System installed.
[125005990070] |Not installing X Window System drivers.
[125005990080] |One possible explanation to this is that the 2.1.4 vbox video drivers do not yet support Xorg version which ships with Alpha 6.
[125005990090] |Work around for this problem
[125005990100] |Mount the VirtualBox Guest Additions CD.
[125005990110] |You can do this from Devices >Install Guest Additions
[125005990120] |Applications >Accessories >Terminal and enter the following command to enter in to you cdrom
[125005990130] |$cd /media/cdrom/
[125005990140] |Extract the the installer
[125005990150] |sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86/amd46.run --target /vbox
[125005990160] |Note:- Select your hardware architecture file to extract i.e x86/amd64 and vbox is sample directory you can choose where ever you want to extract.
[125005990170] |Now you need to edit the install.sh file (Inthis case i am in vbox directory)
[125005990180] |sudo gedit install.sh
[125005990190] |In Line 415 change
[125005990200] |1.5.99.* | 1.6 )
[125005990210] |to
[125005990220] |1.5.99.* | 1.6.0 )
[125005990230] |Save and exit the file
[125005990240] |Note:- This is needed, because the version that is returned by X -version is 1.6.0, not 1.6.
[125005990250] |Now run your installer using the following command
[125005990260] |sudo ./install.sh
[125005990270] |After completing installation Reboot your system.
[125005990280] |That’s it enjoy your virtualbox

[125006000010] |Ubuntu Package Management from Command line using apt (Advanced Packaging Tool)
[125006000020] |Using apt (Advanced Packaging Tool) in Ubuntu
[125006000030] |The Advanced Packaging Tool, which has since been ported by Conectiva for use with rpm and has been adopted by some other distributions.
[125006000040] |The apt-get command is a powerful command-line tool used to work with Ubuntu’s Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) performing such functions as installation of new software packages, upgrade of existing software packages, updating of the package list index, and even upgrading the entire Ubuntu system.
[125006000050] |APT uses a file that lists the ‘sources’ from which packages can be obtained.
[125006000060] |This file is /etc/apt/sources.list.
[125006000070] |The entries in this file follow this format
[125006000080] |deb http://host/ubuntu distribution section1 section2 section3 deb-src http://host/ubuntu distribution section1 section2 section3
[125006000090] |The first word on each line, deb or deb-src, indicates the type of archive: whether it contains binary packages (deb), that is, the pre-compiled packages that we normally use, or source packages (deb-src),
[125006000100] |Now we will see available commands for apt-get
[125006000110] |Update the list of available packages
[125006000120] |The packaging system uses a private database to keep track of which packages are installed, which are not installed and which are available for installation.
[125006000130] |The apt-get program uses this database to find out how to install packages requested by the user and to find out which additional packages are needed in order for a selected package to work properly.
[125006000140] |sudo apt-get update
[125006000150] |The following options to apt-get may be useful
[125006000160] |-h This help text. -d Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives -f Attempt to continue if the integrity check fails -s No-act.
[125006000170] |Perform ordering simulation -y Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt -u Show a list of upgraded packages as well
[125006000180] |Install a Package Using apt-get
[125006000190] |sudo apt-get install packagename
[125006000200] |Example
[125006000210] |sudo apt-get install apache2
[125006000220] |Reinstall a Package Using apt-get
[125006000230] |If you somehow damage an installed package, or simply want the files of a package to be reinstalled with the newest version that is available, you can use the --reinstall option
[125006000240] |sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename
[125006000250] |Example
[125006000260] |sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache2
[125006000270] |Remove a Package Using apt-get
[125006000280] |sudo apt-get remove packagename
[125006000290] |Example
[125006000300] |sudo apt-get remove apache2
[125006000310] |Running apt-get as above will cause the packages to be removed but their configuration files, if any, will remain intact on the system.
[125006000320] |For a complete removal of the package
[125006000330] |sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename
[125006000340] |Example
[125006000350] |sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2
[125006000360] |Just as in the case of the install method, you can use a symbol with remove to invert the meaning for a particular package.
[125006000370] |In the case of removing, if you add a ‘+’ right after the package name, the package will be installed instead of being removed.
[125006000380] |sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename+
[125006000390] |Example
[125006000400] |sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2+
[125006000410] |Upgrade Packages
[125006000420] |You can use this command to upgrade packages within the same distribution, as well as to upgrade to a new distribution
[125006000430] |sudo apt-get -u upgrade
[125006000440] |Upgrade to a new release
[125006000450] |sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade
[125006000460] |If you want to upgrade specific package use the following command
[125006000470] |sudo apt-get -u install packagename
[125006000480] |Example
[125006000490] |sudo apt-get -u install apache2
[125006000500] |Remove unused package files
[125006000510] |When you install a package APT retrieves the needed files from the hosts listed in /etc/apt/sources.list, stores them in a local repository (/var/cache/apt/archives/), and then proceeds with installation.
[125006000520] |In time the local repository can grow and occupy a lot of disk space.
[125006000530] |Fortunately, APT provides tools for managing its local repository.
[125006000540] |apt-get clean removes everything except lock files from /var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/.
[125006000550] |Thus, if you need to reinstall a package APT should retrieve it again.
[125006000560] |sudo apt-get clean
[125006000570] |apt-get autoclean removes only package files that can no longer be downloaded.
[125006000580] |sudo apt-get autoclean
[125006000590] |Search for specific packge
[125006000600] |If you want to search for specific packge use apt-cache.
[125006000610] |This program is used by the APT system for maintaining its database.
[125006000620] |Search specific package
[125006000630] |sudo apt-cache search packagename
[125006000640] |Example
[125006000650] |sudo apt-cache search atari
[125006000660] |If you want to get more information about a specific package use the following commands
[125006000670] |sudo apt-cache show packagename
[125006000680] |Example
[125006000690] |sudo apt-cache show nagios3
[125006000700] |If you want to find out what packages it depends on specific package
[125006000710] |sudo apt-cache depends packagename
[125006000720] |Example
[125006000730] |sudo apt-cache depends nagios3
[125006000740] |How to discover to which package a file belongs
[125006000750] |If you want to install a package, and you can’t find out what it is called by searching with apt-cache, but know the filename of the program itself, or some other filename that belongs to the package, then you can use apt-file to find the package name.
[125006000760] |This is done like this:
[125006000770] |sudo apt-file search filename
[125006000780] |You can also list the contents of a package, by running
[125006000790] |sudo apt-file list packagename
[125006000800] |apt-file keeps a database of which files all packages contain, just like auto-apt does and it needs to be up-to-date.
[125006000810] |This is done by running:
[125006000820] |sudo apt-file update
[125006000830] |Downloading source packages
[125006000840] |To download a source package, you would use the following command:
[125006000850] |sudo apt-get source packagename
[125006000860] |This will download three files: a .orig.tar.gz, a .dsc and a .diff.gz.
[125006000870] |In the case of packages made specifically for ubuntu, the last of these is not downloaded and the first usually won’t have “orig” in the name.
[125006000880] |The .dsc file is used by dpkg-source for unpacking the source package into the directory packagename-version.
[125006000890] |Within each downloaded source package there is a debian/ directory that contains the files needed for creating the .deb package.
[125006000900] |To auto-build the package when it’s been downloaded, just add -b to the command line
[125006000910] |sudo apt-get -b source packagename
[125006000920] |Packages needed for compiling a source package
[125006000930] |Normally, specific headers and shared libraries need to be present in order for a source package to be compiled.
[125006000940] |All source packages have a field in their control files called ‘Build-Depends:’ that indicates which additional packages are needed for the package to be built from source.
[125006000950] |APT has a simple way of downloading these packages.
[125006000960] |sudo apt-get build-dep package
[125006000970] |Example
[125006000980] |sudo apt-get build-dep gmc
