Viber For Linux Desktop Looks Huge

Well, I installed Viber for the Linux desktop today. Yet again. I remember installing it not so long ago only to end up uninstalling it straight away because the application window looked disproportionately huge on my Ubuntu 16.04. The issue is still present now. Describing it, below are a few of what I noticed when…

Bug #1592669

First encountered this bug in 2017. It is almost 2 years now and they still have not gotten to fix it. Well, somebody actually said they already have a fix for it but have not committed it yet since according to them, and I quote: “We’ve had a fix for this in review for a…

Run Pipelight On Firefox

Netflix is perhaps one of the biggest users of Microsoft Silverlight. Based on my browsing habits, I rarely encounter websites using Pipelight technology.  Most other sites are either using the good old Adobe Flash or HTML5 for streaming. Besides, most of my online streaming needs are quite satiated by YouTube. While Netflix is not available…

Restrict Linux User to SCP or SFTP Only

Here’s a neat little program to restrict server access of Linux user accounts to SCP and/or SFTP only. It is called rssh. What it does is, and I quote: rssh is a restricted shell for use with OpenSSH, allowing only scp and/or sftp. It now also includes support for rdist, rsync, and cvs. For example,…

Save A File When Not Opened With Root Permission On Vim

This is the scenario.. . You open a file using `vim` (or `vi`), let us say /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, and start editing furiously. A couple of minutes later you try to save it only to be greeted with an error saying – “E45: ‘readonly’ option is set (add ! to override)”. What a bummer! You have already…

Elementary OS Freya

Needed something new and fresh. Despite the fact that I despise anything that even remotely resembles a Mac OS X look, I do not have too much options (?) on Linux desktop-land. I have Ubuntu 14.04 running smoothly on my 4 year old laptop. KDE is what I have for my work PC. That leaves…

Ubuntu Phones Soon To Be A Reality

Following the announcement of Canonical that they have partnered with 2 mobile device manufacturers to finally bring Ubuntu Phones to reality, I’ve kept on visiting popular Ubuntu-centric sites and Ubuntu’s official site itself for more juicy news. I’m pretty much excited about this new development! From the limited info that is out there, the manufacturers…

Keyboard Not Functioning Properly After Ubuntu 13.10 Upgrade

This might happen to you as it did to me when I upgraded my Ubuntu 13.04 to Ubuntu 13.10, so let me write down the steps that was taken to fix the issue. Issue: Keyboard not functioning 100% after login. It does not output any characters when typing something on most of the applications. Description:…

Faenza Icon Theme And Numix GTK Theme On Ubuntu 13.10

If like me you use either, or both, Faenza and Numix as your icon and GTK themes, respectively, and you recently upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, chances are you might have some issues. During the upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10, the installer suggested that I remove some packages. There were a lot and I…

How To Force Disconnect A Login Session That Is No Longer In Use

Usually when I connect to a remote server via SSH, I am very fond of opening 2 or more connections to that server on several terminal windows. Often I close the terminal window before doing a proper `logout` from the SSH session. In most cases, the SSH connection should disconnect and the corresponding process will…

Notes On Nagios Configurations

The last 2 days I was setting up Nagios to monitor a few local and public servers on both Linux and Windows OS. For Linux, everything was smooth-sailing. Other than some typos in the configuration file, I hardly encountered any issues at all. Most of the issues I’ve encountered so far were on Windows servers….

When Remmina Can No Longer Connect To Remote Server

Ubuntu Edge Crowdfunding Campaign For $32 Million

Ubuntu Edge Crowdfunding Campaign For $32 Million

It is certainly something ambitious. Very ambitious. Not only does it attempt to break crowdfunding campaign records across all the boards, it is also like aiming for the moon. Even if the Ubuntu Edge campaign is far from its $32 million goal, it already has broken a few crowdfunding records since the first week that…

Printer Driver For Fuji-Xerox DocuCentre-II C3300

Today, I was trying to print something at work and found out that our old Brother MFC 8840D printer was now replaced with a Fuji-Xerox DocuCentre-II C3300. The printer comes up in the network and is successfully identified (full printer name), but the driver is not listed anywhere. At least I didn’t find one that…

Steam Client For Ubuntu Enters Closed Beta

6th Nov 2012 is a memorable day for Ubuntu/Linux users. It is the day that Valve has started the Steam For Linux closed beta testing. For many gamers out there, casual or hardcore, I’m sure they are familiar with Steam. Who wouldn’t be? And for Linux users, particularly those who use Ubuntu, many would be…

Eclipse IDE Global Menu Hack On Ubuntu

If you are among the countless people using Eclipse IDE as your platform for software development in Java (or other supported languages) on Ubuntu, then you may have noticed that it does not integrate at all into the global menu on Unity. Not a deal breaker actually, right. This does not even hamper you with…

Torchlight: How To Get Fullscreen On Ubuntu 12.04

The 6th installment of the very successful Humble Indie Bundle (HIB) includes the acclaimed Adventure RPG (ARPG) Torchlight. Released back in 2009, this is the first part of the franchise from Runic Games. This particular game (well actually it was Torchlight 2, the sequel) has caught my eye, and interest, for the past month since…

GRUB2 Issues With Ubuntu 12.04 Installation

This is by far the weirdest Ubuntu install I have had so far in my more than 2+ years of using the said Linux distro. You see, I started using Ubuntu with version 10.04 Lucid Lynx. It’s not that I’ve not had my share of experiences with weird Linux installs and failed Linux installs. On…

Black Screen On Logout On Ubuntu 11.10

About 2 weeks ago I started noticing something different with Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop. During shutdown none of the ugly boot messages were showing. I was elated. Since the days when boot splash was introduced into Linux nothing much has developed over the course of, more or less, a decade. Sure the names are…

When Adobe Flash Settings Isn’t Clickable On Ubuntu 11.10

Adobe Flash Settings always worked fine back when I was still using Ubuntu Natty Narwhal in that whenever a Flash application needs permission to access my laptop’s camera and microphone, I can click on the Allow/Deny options. On Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot Flash settings is unclickable and it will eventually hang and crash whenever it asks…

This is a fix on how to access the files on your phone via bluetooth on Ubuntu 11.10. I found it recently when I realized that bluetooth on my laptop was not working like it did on Ubuntu 11.04.
