If you're using Ubuntu 12.10 with Unity or some other desktop environment and want to switch to a complete GNOME 3 desktop experience without installing Ubuntu GNOME Remix 12.10, you can do this by simply installing a few packages. Using the instructions below, you won't just install GNOME Shell, but also the default settings and applications that come with Ubuntu GNOME Remix. There are also some
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin has been released and many of you have already upgraded or plan on upgrading, so I've made yet another post that you'll hopefully find useful, with things that you may want to tweak, fix or install in Ubuntu 12.04. Some of the tweaks in this article are old, and we've already talked about it in the previous posts about things to tweak after installing Ubuntu 11.10
Indicator-Multiload (or System Load Indicator) is an Ubuntu Application Indicator that displays the network up/down speed as well as CPU, Memory and hard disk usage on the GNOME / Unity panel using a graph, just like the old System Monitor GNOME applet. A new Indicator-Multiload version was available in its daily builds PPA for some time and today this new version seems stable enough so it's final
Unfortunately, system indicators cannot be moved in Ubuntu so you can't move the session indicator, the DateTime indicator and so on. Application Indicators are not easy to move either because you can't simply drag to reorder them, but you can specify their order in the Ubuntu Indicator Applet by editing a configuration file. Read on! Update 7 May 2014: This was tested and works with Ubuntu 14.04!
Despot77 posted a great looking Conky Lua configuration at Gnome-Look that displays some beautiful rings for the cpu, clock, ram, swap, disk, net and also comes with an easy way to display the weather that doesn't involve you register to any website, work with API keys and so on. Another thing I like about this configuration is that it comes with various color themes and distribution logos: Fedora
A while back we wrote how to play YouTube videos without Flash with just one click. The second method (my favourite) used to work with any browser but the latest Flash 10.2 breaks it because the cached files are deleted from /tmp (but are still there). With the help of Reddit, I got it working again and with a minor tweak it works with any browser (I've only tested it with Firefox and Chromium). W
PhotoFilmStrip is an application for Windows and Linux that you can use to create a movie (slideshow) from images. It uses the "Ken Burns" effect for the pictures transitions and you can also add music and captions to your images. You can further customize the video by setting the duration time for each image, the transition and transition time and additionally, the effect (sepia or black and whit
I was just reading our Ubuntu Netbook Remix Optimization Guide and realized there are some things I'd do differently right now so I decided to share this with you. I'll skip the parts in the initial post, so make sure you check out that post too - some things such as Guake are incredibly useful on a netbook (and not only). Before we start, please note that the GNOME panel is locked in Ubuntu Netbo
I couldn't get PulseAudio to work on one of my computers no matter what I do. But removing PulseAudio can be tricky and besides, there is a very easy way to "fix" it (if you're using GStreamer as a backend for music and videos). This is very useful for applications which use GStreamer but do not let you select the sound output module like: Rhythmbox, Totem and so on. To use ALSA or OSS instead of
This is yet another guest post from RKV. We've seen how to get an invitation for free on Spotify UK and now that you have an account, you must log in using a UK proxy every 14 days or your account gets blocked. To log in to Spotify (and while we're here, also for Pandora, with a different set of Exit Nodes) using an UK proxy, you'll have to configure TOR to use some specific exit nodes. Here is th
Yasst is a cross-platform Twitter client which does not run on Adobe Air, this being the reason I first started using it as I really don't like Adobe Air applications. If you are used to Twitter clients such as Tweetdeck, you will find Yasst to look pretty similar, with multiple column view, but Yasst has something extra: tabs! Let's take a look at some important features in Yasst: multiple tabs w
