Insanity Rediscovered

Ubuntu lacks a startup application folder which enables you to add an application link which would start up automatically on login. Instead you can run this command to add your preferred applications:
gnome-session-properties
It is also available from System > Preferences > Sessions (It is on mine!).

There were initial issues and people were recommending waiting for Pidgin to get included in the official repositories…
However, the version I found here works perfectly on Ubuntu. It installs along with Gaim and imports all the required settings.

Looks neat.

Automatix works of course. But this is supposed to be the official guide!

For the zillionth time today I faced problem accessible Ubuntu servers while using Synaptics.
Especially these two servers:

US.ARCHIVE.UBUNTU.COM
ARCHIVE.UBUNTU.COM

So, I have finally received my ‘free’ Ubuntu CDs. The CDs came along with four stickers. One of which is definitely going on my Car. I hope it brings my car some good karma. The rattling is becoming unbearable!

The process has been hit and trial for me. But this guide definitely works for me. Is quite complicated which makes me think that Opera should have a dedicated section with all the related links and information on their own website. Ubuntu (And Linux) user base is growing and they should help the users as [...]

Here are some command line steps to improve the looks of web control in Gnome Ubuntu:

sudo su

cp /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/res/forms.css /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/res/forms.css.bak
cat firefox-form-widgets/res/forms-extra.css | sudo tee –append /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/res/forms.css > /dev/null
cp -r firefox-form-widgets/res/form-widgets /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/res
rm -rf firefox-form-widgets

Very usable. Acts as a combination of the ping and traceroute command. Incidentally Ubuntu seems to be missing the traceroute command in default installation. At least it was not installed on mine.

Damn. Took me sometime to figure this one out. Helpful when you are playing with .htaccess file.

I have tried a couple of applications I found. I even tried using the Firefox extensions. But frankly, Kflickr has been the most efficient way I have seen to upload images to Flickr from Ubuntu.

If you guys have a better idea, suggest!
