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!

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!

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!

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

Matheus

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!

This article explain how to manually root your Android. To use it, you must have Android SDK installed. The necessary posts are in the end of the post, I recommend you to read all instructions first.

PS: ROOT YOUR PHONE CAN BREAK YOUR WARRANTY! Responsibility is yours!

Verify if adb recognizes your phone

$ adb devices

Copy the files to the phone

$ adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
$ adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push su /data/local/tmp/su

Change file permissions

$ adb shell
$ chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
$ chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox

Run the exploit

cd /data/local/tmp
./rageagainstthecage

Your adb shell will close, restart the adb, and reopen the shell

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb shell

Your adb shell should change from $ to #. If this not happens, retry the steps.

Mount your file system with read/write permissions

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Install busybox

cd /data/local/tmp
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox

Use busybox to copy and install the other files

busybox cp Superuser.apk /system/app
busybox cp su /system/bin
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Mount your system files to read only

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Done. Your phone is rooted. To try it, reopen adb shell, and type “su”. Then check you phone screen.

Android manual root files.

Best Regards.

Yesterday, I start trying to root my Nexus one, but I had my bootloader locked, I couldn’t root it from Gingerbread version, so I had to restore it to a previous version. If you want to restore a older version use this steps:

PS: BE CAREFUL WITH THE ROM THAT YOU CHOOSE. THERE ARE SOME ROMS THAT JUST WORK IN SOME DEVICES. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RESTORE IT DIRECTLY TO FRG83 USING PASSIMG.ZIP METHOD!

1. Download the ROM version that you want from XDA Nexus One ROMs
2. Rename the zip to PASSIMG.ZIP
3. Copy the PASSIMG.ZIP to your SD card. (Without using any folder.)
4. Turn off the phone
5. Turn on the phone with Volume down button pressed
6. Your phone will show a screen looking for files (WAIT, it could take up to 3 minutes)
7. The phone will ask if you want to start the updates. Press Volume UP button to start it.
8. Your system will start with the ROM that you choosed.

REMEMBER! Be careful with the ROM version

Matheus

Use “File – New catalog from POT file”, select your .pot file and create a new translation for it.

Start translating!

This post is a tip. If you installed Firefox 4, and when you try to close it, you get angry because your “Save and quit button” is not there. Do this:

1. Acess “about:config”
2. Press “I’ll be careful, I promise!”
3. Search for “browser.showQuitWarning”
4. Change it to True
