Ubuntu tip: Turning off tooltips








When you hover over anything in Ubuntu Yellow boxes pop-up (Tooltips) and give you information. Personally it bugs me really badly. If you are like me; turning them off is really simple.


Note: the quotation marks are not part of the names.

First right click on the "Applications" button in the top panel, then click "Edit Menus". e.g:

When the menu editor opens click "System Tools". In the right column you will see: "Configuration Editor" Tick the box next to it, and close the menu editor. e.g:

Now click on "Applications" then "System Tools" then "Configuration Editor". Once the configuration editor opens click the arrow next to "apps", then click the arrow next to "panel". This expands the menus. e.g:

Now select the "global" folder. and in the right column untick the box next to "tooltips_enabled". e.g:

There you have it. Annoying yellow boxes gone :)

Solution: Disable tooltip in Kubuntu 11.10

Are you annoyed of tooltip. you can disable it following the given simple steps

  1. Right-clicking on an empty area of the task bar
  2. Select "Task Manager Settings"
  3. Disabling “show tooltips” 
  4. Select OK


That's it !! now  it won't show any more.

SSH Login Without Password


Follow this step from the machine that you want to get access to remote machine

Step 1: Create public and private keys using ssh-key-gen on local-host

patelm@local-host$ [Note: You are on local-host here]
patelm@local-host$ ssh-keygenGenerating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/jsmith/.ssh/id_rsa):[Enter key]
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Press enter key]
Enter same passphrase again: [Pess enter key]
Your identification has been saved in /home/patelm/.ssh/id_rsa.Your public key has been saved in /home/patelm/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:f3:58:0d:f8:65:d6:8f:95:8B:11:89:1a:e5:d6:b0:64 patelm@local-host
The key's randomart image is:
+--[ RSA 2048]----+
|          .E.oo  |
|         oo.=o+ .|
|        . +++o.o.|
|         o.*   + |
|        S o . . .|
|         =       |
|        . .      |
|                 |
|                 |
+-----------------+

Step 2: Copy the public key to remote-host using ssh-copy-id

patelm@local-host$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remote-host
patelm@remote-host's password:
Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'remote-host'", and check in:

.ssh/authorized_keys

to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting.
Note: ssh-copy-id appends the keys to the remote-host’s .ssh/authorized_key.

Step 3: Login to remote-host without entering the password

patelm@local-host$ ssh remote-host
Last login: Sun Nov 16 17:22:33 2008 from 192.168.1.2
[Note: SSH did not ask for password.]

patelm@remote-host$ [Note: You are on remote-host here]

wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock - nfs

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 10.1.1.1:/home/nfs,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

All of this was because crunchbang does not come with nfs-common installed, so if run into this problem, run:

sudo aptitude install nfs-common

If you are working with Arch Linux, type this:

sudo pacman -S nfs-utils

And the problem will go.

Installing Microsoft Truetype fonts on Ubuntu

You can install the MS core fonts by installing the msttcorefontspackage. To do this, enable the “Universe” component of the repositories. This is done by default in Feisty. After you do that, use the following command from the command line:

$sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

This will give you the core fonts, but if there are other TrueType fonts that you want installed, it is as easy as copying the font files to the~/.fonts/ directory.

After installing new fonts, you will have to log out and log in again to be able to see and use the new fonts. If you want to avoid this, you can regenerate the fonts cache by issuing the following command:
$sudo fc-cache -fv

Solved : Cannot find Joomla XML setup file

If you get the following message while installation of Phoca Gallery: JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file,
then it seems like your server has a limitation in that it can only
extract or create archives with less files than your OS's file handle
limit. Phoca Gallery is large component which includes more files than
your server is able to unpack (due to the limitation). In such case,
please upload extracted files to your server, to e.g. folder: tmp/phocagallery and use Joomla's Install from Directory feature.


1) Create a folder inside tmp folder in your Joomla! root: tmp/phocagallery (with help of FTP client or some file manager).


2) Extract Phoca Gallery Installation ZIP file on your PC and copy all the files (with help of FTP) to your server, to tmp/phocagallery folder.


3) In your Joomla! administration, navigate to Extensions - Extension Manager - Install. Set the right path in form field: Install Directory (in Install from Directory area). E.g. to /your-path/your-joomla/tmp/phocagallery


4) Click on Install. After installation, don't forget to remove the files in folder tmp/phocagallery (include phocagallery folder).

How to Add Custom Alarm Ringtones in Android

android-default alarm ringtoneIf you are a proud owner of an Android phone and also a heavyalarm clock user, you will know that the default alarm clock app in Android phone does not provides you with lot of options, especially the ringtone. If you are looking to choose from a wide range of songs/ringtones that you are going to wake up with, you are going to be disappointed. There are effectively only one option (another is silent mode) and that is the irritating buzzer alarm.
Luckily, it is very easy to add custom ringtones to your alarm clock, so you don’t have to wake up with the irritating buzzer alarm.

1. First connect your Android phone to the computer, via USB cable.
2. Mount your phone’s SD card to the computer.
android-mount-sdcard
3. Create a new folder call “alarms” (without the quotes) in the main directory of the SD card.
4. Copy all your favorite alarm clock ringtones to the folder.
5. Unmount the card.
6. Start the alarm clock app. You should now see your favorite ringtone in the selection field.
android-custom-ringtone
The same trick can also apply to the call ringtone and notification tone. Simply create two folders, “ringtones” and “notifications” and place the songs in them. They will appear in the respective settings of your phone.

How to Add Custom Alarm Ringtones in HTC (Android)

1. Connect your phone to PC in Disk drive mode.
2. Your phone’s SD card is mounted as a drive on your computer.
3. On sd card go to media > audio > notifications and then put the music files in this folder.
4. Disconnect your phone from PC. So, your phone can access SD Card.
5. Go to Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone > (name of the files you copied will show here, select it)

Solution : How to open power point slide in new window

Option 1:


follow steps:

1) Create another Windows XP account to use.

2) Use the shell command RUNAS to run the other instance of PowerPoint under the other account.

Example: having created a special account "xxx", when logged in as "yyy", and already running PowerPoint, use [Start] [Run...] CMD, and then enter a command similar to:

C:\> runas /user:xxx "c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\POWERPNT.EXE"

Pro: you get another instance of PowerPoint.

Con: it's running under the other account, so will save files to the My Documents folder, etc. of that other account. But that could be overcome by changing the MS Office folders locations of where the Dad account saves its files. You need never actually log in to Dad through the front end of Windows XP.

You can make a batch file with a shortcut if you like, so it's as easy as clicking an icon called "Second PowerPoint".
