mr. X - SwapBoost v0.1alpha - early testers wanted

mr. X — Tue, 5 Jan 2010 23:03:51 +0000

this script will only make a swap on a flash drive... it's not like readyboost. the real and afaik only clone for linux is here: http://users.cis.fiu.edu/~zhaom/dmcache/index.htm... (gpl source available) and it's a lot more complex thing (it's a kernel module)

I can't wait to see the new layout! Give us some before and afters, would you? =) Also, I'm sure you know how helpful you are already, but sometimes when I try to backread you, I just come across articles that I've already read, having searched for the subject on Google. So, thanks for being such a reliable resource!

AFAIK Just install the package. The files in the package will overwrite the files you installed manually.

matt - Install Flash and Multimedia Support on Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala"

matt — Fri, 1 Jan 2010 18:33:59 +0000

Total newb here. I click the link to install and it says it can't find the packages. I downloaded them (I think) but have zero clue where to put them to be able to access/install them from the terminal. I'm sure this is really obvious to the experts, but I think it's pretty funny that the original post, which is generally helpful, forgets that some people don't know how to acquire and properly locate these "packages" to make them accessible to the OS.

Sigh.

Any light you can shed will be warmly received.

kaffekopp - Disable Ubuntu 9.04 Notification System

kaffekopp — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 14:37:20 +0000

I tried your tip, and while it did disable notifications, it also caused netbook-launcher to refuse starting... guess I'll have to stick with the notifications for a while longer...

I'd rather tell Synaptic/whatever to stop storing kernels from 5 revisions ago. Actually, no, I meant to say: "Who thinks I need to have this as a default setting under Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10?".

Oren - Gnome and Nautilus Keyboard Shortcut Keys

"ok, i just found the shortcut keys for navigating tabs!!
it's ctrl+alt+pageup or pagedown"

For me just ctl+PgUp/PgDwn does the trick, no need for an alt in there.

Two more mouseless tricks:

1) Select non-adjacent files:
hold ctl and navigate up or down and use space to select multiple files (toggles select/deselect).

2) Select adjacent files:
hold shift and navigate up/down (PgUp/PgDwn works by pagefulls too)
