1. When I use nautilus I’d like to type addresses by hand. In several Gnome themes this option is disabled. You can fix it:
- Launch gconf-editor
- Go to apps/nautilus/preferences
- Check always_use_location_entry
2. After updating Firestarter stops displaying information about blocked connections.
In order to fix:
- Open /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
-
Uncomment there:
#*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
# auth,authpriv.none;\
# cron,daemon.none;\
# mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
- Type sudo service rsyslog restart
3. In Gnome Unity some tray icons (like Firefox, QuickSynergy or Kadu) are not diplayed.
Type:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']" unity --replace
I’ve noticed a problem with Lightning view panel in Thunderbird. After each restart of Thunderbird it disappears and I must resize it using vertical line on the right.
User Skip Head has solved this problem:
hover your mouse pointer over the line, in the middle of line where the tiny
dots are – your pointer will turn into a hand. Click on the dots and
the today pane will jump out to regular size. Now it will stay the
correct size.
1. If you like having close, maximize and minimize buttons on the right in Nautlius, type :
gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/button_layout -t string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
in your console.
2. If your new Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0 doesn’t read your old e-mails, please change name of .mozilla-thunderbird in your home directory to .thunderbird.
3. If you don’t see your gnome-volume-control-applet, please add Notification applet to your gnome panel.
1. Be sure you have following options checked in your Ubuntu kernel:
File systems -> Miscellaneous filesystems -> UFS file system support (read only) (UFS_FS)
File systems -> Partition Types -> PC BIOS (MSDOS partition tables) support (MSDOS_PARTITION) -> BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support (BSD_DISKLABEL)
Default kernel for Ubuntu has already this options.
2. After rebooting type in console:
dmesg | grep bsd
You shoud receive similar output:
[ 2.108529] sda4: <bsd: sda8 sda9>
It means that you have Freebsd installed on sda4 partition, and sda8 and sda9 are so-called “slices”
3. Use command similar to:
mount -t ufs -r -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sda8 /media/free
For older versions of Freebsd:
mount -t ufs -r -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/sda8 /media/free
or
mount -t ufs -r -o ufstype=ufs /dev/sda8 /media/free
might be more suitable.
Here is a script for generating random alphanumeric passwords:
#!/bin/bash # passwords.sh if [ $# != 2 ]; then echo "usage: $0 <length of passwords> <number of passwords> " exit 1 fi tr -cd '[:graph:]' < /dev/urandom | fold -w $1 | head -$2
