Good Night,

Sadly (for me) the Scroll bar on Ubuntu 11.10 are still the same as Ubuntu 11.04. I particularly don’t like it. So I tried the same method to disable the overlay scroll bar on Ubuntu 11.04, and it works! (I just tested the disable method.)

Use this:

If you try the other methods, please let us know if it works!

Hello

I’m still setting up my Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). Let’s change the menu buttons (minimize, maximize, close) position to the right (again).

Open your Terminal

Run it

Go to “apps/metacity/general/”
Find “button_layout” and update the value to:

Save, logout, login. Done!

Good Night!

Everybody probably knows that today Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot was released. I just finish my installation and I couldn’t find the Gnome Classic option. Then I remembered somebody told me I need to install “gnome-session-fallback” to get it again.

Use:

Logout. Press the gear and choose Gnome Classic.

That is it!

Hello,

Just installed my Ubuntu 11.04 – 64 bits, and decided to install flash. I thought to install the Romeo-Adrian Cioaba script that I published as
Install Flash in Ubuntu 10.04 – 64 Bits.

I decided to update the script to install the last available flash version. The newer version that I found is Flash Player Square 10.2.p3.

Native Flash Player 10.2 Preview 3 installer
Native Flash Player 10.0.45.2 installer (Recommended, seems more stable)

Give it, execution permission:

$ chmod +x native-64bit-flash-installer.sh

-

Execute it.

$ ./native-64bit-flash-installer.sh

I commented the line that create a symbolic link to XUL-Runner, because I couldn’t find it on my computer. If you have any problem, let me know.

Tested and working!

There is a Flash version on Ubuntu repository. (It is older and I can’t guarantee anything about it. But it is there)

$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Best Regards,
Matheus

Hello,

I like the normal scrollbars. So when I installed Ubuntu 11.04, I didn’t like the new type of scrollbars. If you want to remove it:

$ sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar

If this doesn’t work, try this (tips from Joonas)

$ sudo apt-get remove liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0

Or if you just want to disable it (I think it is betters), do this:

$ sudo echo “export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0″ > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars

Reboot your system.

That is it!

Hello

Why to create a server with a torrent client with web access? I live with other people that uses torrent too. I had a computer running a server with other services, so I decided to add this client (transmission-daemon) with web access, in this way we don’t need to let computers on. Just this one. Everybody have web access to it and it is so simple to use.

But wich client to use? I searched a little bit and found that exists some famous ones as w3btorrent and torrentflux. but they need a web-server running like apache. And I don’t want to setup it too, because I don’t need it. So I choosed transmission the native torrent client in Ubuntu.

So, to install it in Ubuntu server you use:

$ sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon

Now you need to setup it, my configuration file was in /home/user/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

The options are a lot but it is easy to understand them.

Hello,

I was reading my feeds and saw that Firefox 4.0 Beta was available. I verified what happened and I discovered that Mozilla Foundation transformed the version 3.7pre6a in 4.0b1.

I used it and didn’t notice any big improvement. Here a screenshot from it.

So how to use it?
Firefox 4.0 beta – Linux 32 Bits
Firefox 4.0 beta – Linux 64 Bits
Firefox 4.0 beta – others

After the download, close your firefox. Extract. Execute the file firefox. If you want to keep using it, you can create a shortcut to it.

Hello,

If you want to change the position of the buttons in windows. The buttons that I mean is, close, maximize, minimize.

To change it use ALT+F2 and type gconf-editor

Press enter, open the tree APP and search for metacity, search for the button_layout.

Change it to “menu: maximize,minimize,close” remember to update the order of the words to get the default way. “menu:minimize,maximize,close”

Good Night,
