Remember Me

Earlier I showed steps to add Reminder add-in on earlier version of Ubuntu ( http://gusantov.blogspot.com/2008/07/event-reminder.html ). This note is about how to add Reminder add-in on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). I wrote this because there's slightly different in the way the add-in files of Tomboy are stored. In earlier versions of Ubuntu (correct me if I'm wrong), add-in files are stored in ~/tomboy/addins . In Ubuntu 10.04 these files are stored in /usr/lib/tomboy/addins . So, if you want to add Reminder add-in, after you download the dll file (I choose the binary one) ( http://flukkost.nu/blog/tomboy-reminder/) , then move it to /usr/lib/tomboy/addins . You need to enable it (see my previous note) afterward. If you can't see Reminder add-in in there, you need to restart your system (this is what I did to make it appear on the add-ins list). Good luck.

This tutorial is answer question "how to make my dropdown menu transparent?". Here is how to it. 1. Open CCSM (CompizConfig Setting Manager) then enable Opacity, Brightness and Saturation (see picture). 2. If you have nothing underneath, then specify what type of window you want (e.g. dropdownmenu). Add the type of window by clicking NEW (see picture). 3. Adjust the level of transparency you like by cha nging the the "Window values", the value of 90 is pretty good. For more information, follow this link http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/WindowMatching That's it.

Ok, you like Compiz desktop effect with its cool features such as 3D desktop, wobbly effect, etc. Then you play around to explore more features you want to apply. Suddenly your desktop messed up, such as your mouse behave strange, you can't click the menu for instance. Don't get nervous, relax. You tried uninstall Compiz and clean install it but still no luck. Take deep breath. This tip is a special guide if you experience the same problem with me. After clicking here and there setting up your Compiz, then your mouse seem behaves abnormal, it won't click the menu. It happened to me after I enable "window move" feature by setting a particular key binding (I didn't remember what keys I selected). After trying removing then reinstalling the Compiz, I came up an idea to click the menu with combination between "shift" button and mouse click. It worked. So then I setup my Compiz again and click on "window move", I set the key binding to its defau...

What I usually did when a new version of Ubuntu has been released was testing it with the live CD. I want to have an impression before i decide whether or not I will upgrade my system. The same thing I did when Ubuntu 9.04 (code name Jaunty Jackalope) has been released a few days ago. I have been really amazed with the capability that Ubuntu 9.04 has now offer. I tested the live CD on my Sony Vaio VGN-NR120E. From the past versions, I usually have problem with the wireless connection. With this new version, everything is flawless, including the wireless connection, it was working just by inserting the live CD, without installing anything. It detect all available wireless networks including my home network. I really want to upgrade my system to this new version of Ubuntu. Unfortunately I have to wait a little bit longer. Now I'm in the middle of something which is urgent to do,finishing my study. Once this is done, I promise, I will upgrade my Ubuntu 8.10 version with the newest ...

On my previous post regarding wireless problem on my Sony Vaio VGN-NR120E, the problem was fixed using madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz driver version. Though, the driver conflicts with suspend ability so since then my laptop lost its ability to suspend. Both of my wireless and suspend problem have been fixed after following this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792158. (Thanks to bmartin who provides the detail guide). Below is the steps: 1. If you installed another driver, please uninstall (make uninstall) it and clean (make clean) it. 2. Copy and paste these commands onto your terminal sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude -y install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) cd ~ wget -O driver.tar.gz http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz tar xf driver.tar.gz cd madwifi-* make sudo make install echo ath_pci | sudo tee -a /etc/modules sudo modprobe ath_pci 3. Restart you system 4. After that, you'll see your wireless connecti...
