Sexy Conky on your Ubuntu or Mint Machine

I know you have much knowledge about 'Conky'. It is a really very sexy, attractive, prity, essential desktop tool for every curious computer user.

See the image I upload above. A list of information is displaying on the wall of desktop. It is not any kind of floating window.

To get my design you must follow my instruction below.

copy past this command at terminal

sudo apt-get install conky-all curl hddtemp lm-sensors python-statgrab

This will install a sensor for watching hard disk drive tempateture.

Now enter both lines below in terminatl and hit enter

$ sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp
$ sudo sensors-detect

As a result you need to select 'Yes' everytime.
Now download "92328-conky_colors.tar.gz" (Source file) file from Gnome-look.org (or get it from my collection, but original source is better for updated information). Now put the newest downloaded conky colors.tar.gz file on desktop and enter the following commands.

$ tar -xvzf 92328-conky_colors.tar.gz
$ cd conky_colors
$ make
$ make install

Now this iconpack will install successfully.

It is time to configure a little. just download this text file from this link and copy all data inside it and paste them on the file named .conky on the home folder.

This method will work on all newer ubuntu version. That means it will work on Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 10.10 both of them.

How to run conky:
First method:Just type 'conky' on terminal. It will start instantly.
Second method: Press 'Alt+F2'. Type 'conky' and hit enter.
Third method: Create an launcher on 'Startup Applications' at 'System>Preferences>Startup Applications'. Adding a customise launcher will start it automatically every times when system start.

Ghost, goblin walking on Google search result

On my last post I told you that A ghost just passing my blog. No, this is not true. I have failed to correct the title when publishing that blogpost. Actually correct answer is, When I searched site:netgator.blogspot.com on Google, then I saw that ghost/ goblin. But, now I can not able to see that Google creature/ animation anywhere. Is it remember IP address? No, because I changed my IP address after restart computer. Then? Is Google remembering my computer, machine's architect number or any hardware code? Who knows?

A ghost just passing my blog

Some seconds ago when I published my last post, I was previewing it on another tab on chromium. I saw that a scary ghost is passing my blogsite from left to right. In that moment electricity has gone in my area. It return after 2 minutes. But that ghost has gone forever. I am trying to see that ghost again and again on google search or blogsearch or google homepage but nowhere it found anymore. (sorry, cant take any snapshot)

I understand that it is an interesting animation from Google itself for the celebration of Halloween. Thank you Google for this tricky, lovely surprise.

Update: I have made a mistake on this post title. Get update on Ghost, goblin walking on Google search result.

Halloween Costume searching

According to official googleblog I have just know that Halloween costume search ranking goes very high within this week. Although searches for halloween costume ideas have been growing hot since last august. I never ever attend any Halloween function. So failed to understand what kind of joyful cheerful custom it is on western countries. Look at the keywords on search query below.

2010 halloween costumes [breakout]
snooki costume [breakout]
avatar costume [+800%]
iron man costume [+200%
lady gaga costume [+150%]
mad hatter costume [+70%]
costume express [+60%]
womens halloween costume [+60%]

The percentage shows that how much those words are favorite and the interest growing fast since the start of 2010.

When I read the article on Googleblog. I understand the lackness of my knowledge.
Actually this is not my fault.

Offline Dictionaries for Ubuntu

I usually install offline dictionary in my computer since my first use. When I converted to Ubuntu then I am looking for a one for it. I found various kind of offline dictionary for Ubuntu. All work fine with ubuntu versions. I am just installing them on my newer Ubuntu 10.10 machine. I think dictionary is a such a study tool that we can not get sufficient information with only one dictionary. I have more then 10 dictionary on my reading table. So, I install several dictionary on my Ubuntu system. Here are a list of them. Wish you also get suggestion and help from this post.

Babiloo
First of all I like to say the name of Babiloo. It is available on 'Ubuntu Software Center'. You need to use dict files for work with it. Get many dictionary from this website.

Artha
It is a cross-platform open source thesaurus based on WordNet. Arthe is really handy & light, easy to use for every user. It is available at 'Ubuntu Software Center'

Default Dictionary
It is a default dictionary on Ubuntu. Normally it use online to search definition of a word. You can make it work offline. It is also available on 'Ubuntu Software Center'. Search for 'dictd'. You will get many files to download. Choose very carefully.
dictd will install dict, dict-wn, dict-gcide, dict-jargon, dict-folder. You can install a thesaurus. Choose dict-moby-thesaurus to install via 'USC'

Now time to configure it to work offline. Go to Edt> Preference and click on Source. Add a new source as below.

Discription: Local Server
Transport: Dictionary Server
Hostname: 127.0.0.1
Port: 2628

You have done configuring it. Now search any word and you will feel the speed.

IBus problem on Ubuntu 10.10 [Solved]

IBus is an Intelligent Input Bus. It is a new input framework for Linux OS. It provides full featured and user friendly input method user interface. It also may help developers to develop input method easily.
But when I want to use it in Ubuntu 10.10, I stoped. There is no any foreign language option there, except Chinese language. I need to use another language keyboard, So I made some change in my machine. Follow the simple instruction below.

If you want to find your language in the 'input method' tab on IBus preference then install ibus-m17n. It is available via Synaptic package manager. After install, restart computer. After getting ibus-m17n with all dependency, you will get many keyboard and language name on ibus preference.
Select your preferred language and click Add. Restart IBus input method system.

Things after Ubuntu 10.10 install

I am just installed Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) on my machine. Installation process takes only 8 minutes to complete. You may check "Ubuntu 10.10 installation guide and gallery" to fly through the process. I am really impressed. It is really fast, I mean fastest operating system. Looks very smart. Icons has changed on many place. But after install I did not found some necessary application.

• A handy internet traffic monitor Netspeed is not available on 'Synaptic package manager' or 'Ubuntu Software Center'.
• My Nokia E50 Mobile device is not detect so fast as 10.04 or older. It takes a long time to detect it. Even after a long wait, when it found my mobile phone it did not start 'Mobile broadband connection wizard' automatically. I need to click network icon several times and I succeed.

I run 'sudo apt-get update' in terminal. My system is updating on background. After completing update I will install 'conky' at first.Then I will install Ubuntu restricted extras. It will install some commonly used applications with restricted copyright. So after install this package will enable ability to play mp3, avi, mpeg, trutype, Java, Flash etc.

I will install Unrar to open rar files in Ubuntu Linux.
I like to install Lugaru and World of Goo, the best physics based puzzle game I ever played. I will install 'Leafpad'. It is my favourite application to write some text. As I know that OpenOffice.org is going to die within short time, then I must use 'Libre Office'. So I will install Libre office on my Ubuntu machine. Oh yes, I will install safely remove USB device applet. and Oh yes... there are various kind of beautiful wallpaper available now on desktop background. In this Ubuntu version they added two auto scroll wallpaper set. This can change wallpaper automaticaly.

I will tell you later about Ubuntu 10.10 more. Until then today I want to stop. Thanks for being with me.

NetSpeed: Internet traffic monitor

You must use a network traffic monitor if you use internet as regular basis. I got a handy slim network traffic monitor years ago and I am using it from then. I love this applet very much. I add it in my top panel and always be active with it when I surf through online. It is a internet connection indicator, speed indicator, download and upload speed checker. It can show download and uploading speed on top panel.

Netspeed is an applet for the GNOME panel that shows how much traffic occurs on a network device (ethernet card, wireless LAN card, or dial-up).

So, It is a very important tool for everyone. You should use it when you love to hangout online whole day.
You will get in 'Ubuntu Software Center' or in 'Synaptic Package Manager'. Search 'netspeed' and install it.

ADesk Bar: Alternative Panel for Ubuntu

Today we will replace our bottom panel with a attractive one. Look at the image below.
It's called 'ADesk Bar', current version 0.4.2
Actually this is a perfect alternate to default bottom panel on Ubuntu Linux (Gnome Desktop). This include some more feature then original one.ADesk Bar preferences. Resize it, Colour it, Hide it automatically or always. You can use it as a replacement of that default bottom bar. Default options are: size, style, icon effect, behavior (fixed mode aka use as a alternative panel).

Safely Remove USB Device on Ubuntu

When we insert an USB device on our computer, we want to safely remove it when work done. When you are on Ubuntu it is a easy task. I know you know it. You just go to 'Computer' then right click on the neme of usb device and click on 'Safely Remove Device'. The picture below publishing of a snapshot of this job.
If you want to do this from directly from Desktop, quite more smartly, then you should use a handy little applet. Look at the image below.
You need to install a little application, you may call it a taskbar applet or an application indicator. Download a tiny (Only 2.8 KB) deb file from this link. Double click the file named : "indicator-usb-0.2.1.deb". It will install an application indicator for easy USB device safe-removal. Version: 0.2.1

This is a installable deb file. So, I think it will work on all Debian based linux, like Debian Ubuntu, LinuxMint, Peppermint etc. Now, eject any usb device in a smart way. This cute and lovely little applet can handle all other device (include harddisk) which is mounted on your machine.

How to run it?
Press 'Alt+F2'. This shortcut will start 'Run Application'. On the command box write 'indicator-usb' and hit enter. It will run this applet.
If you do not want to run this applet every time, then make it start automatically when your PC start.
Add 'indicator-usb' to your Startup Applications

Both time it will start, run and stays hidden on top panel. When you insert or mount any device it will awake from hide mode and appear on top panel right side. You can do the rest clicking on that icon.

Maintainer of this indicator-usb pakage: Eugeny Pankov

Download this applet (Only 2.8 KB, deb file) from this link.

Ubuntu 10.10 installation guide and gallery

Today I am going to publish "Ubuntu 10.10 installation guide and gallery". I added every snapshot (27 Images gallery) of every item on installing Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverik Meerkat) on a harddisk. Step by step information and details description is not much necessary in this time. Every snapshot will tell you much. Ubuntu installation is so much easy that you do not need to do anything. Just follow these snapshot one by one and at last you will get a fully functional Ubuntu desktop within minutes. (Huge image. Tatal image size: 10MB, So this page may take longer time to load completely)

I started with an ISO file. At first, I made a 'Bootable USB Ubuntu 10.10 Disk' with 'Startup Disk creator' found on System> Administration >Startup Disk Creator at the top panel. I restart my PC inserting the newly created Usb drive on a USB slot of computer. I changed booting option. I set it to boot from USB Disk. Everything looks fine. Nothing special happen in this time. I reached to Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop smoothly. It take really very little time to reach here. I double click on the "Install Ubuntu 10.10" link found on the Desktop by default. Look at this first image below. I select that icon. Waiting to press enter (or make a double click).

Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) installation will start now actually within seconds.

Best File Share or Hosting Site Online

Which is the best file sharing or hosting site on internet? Which site do you use usually to store your valuable important files online? What type of service do you want when you trying to share a file online with your friends?

You may think these questions yourself or ask someone several times. But you did not get correct answer yet? Am I right? If your answer is 'yes' then please give me some seconds to explain myself. I am also curious to know it. I also need it. I am not an online geek, so I don't need much. I use only Box.net. I enjoyed it's feature. The best thing of box.net is, it does not allow any illegal item to upload. But there are many better file hosting services are waiting to help us. I like to know their name and weblink. I searched Google and found some name to share. I did not visit all of them but I wish to do it in near future. In this post I am just writing some name of the best file sharing or file hosting site found on internet. Store your file online and share them with us using the hosting services below.

1. Box.net
   
2. Google Sites
3. Google Docs
4. FileDropper
5. WikiSend
6. Streamfile
7. Dropbox
8. Badongo
9. DivShare
10. Drop.io
11. Windows Live SkyDrive
12. 4Shared
13. Mediafire

I wish, this list might help you to find a online file sharing solution. But you may ask which is the best webtool for general user?

Delete "Newer Posts" and "Older Posts" Links from Blogger blog

Today, I will tell you how to delete or remove or hide "Newer Posts" and "Older Posts" links from the bottom of the posts on blogger.com blog. If you want to show your blog like a website then you might looking for this kind of blogger.com blog hack. This hack is very easy to implement. Just add a one line and your desire will comes true.

Log in to your blogger dashboard. Go directly to Design> Edit HTML and search for the text below:

#blog-pager-newer-link {
float: left;
}

#blog-pager-older-link {
float: right;
}

#blog-pager {
text-align: center;
}

Now change a little on the above code with this code I written below:

#blog-pager-newer-link {
float: left;
display: none;
}

#blog-pager-older-link {
float: right;
display: none;

Muslims are burning Bibles

A news published at New york post last 06 october 2010 that "Malawi Muslims burning Bibles". Some days ago when Reverend want to burn a silly qoran, we all know that what muslims said. Then they even threaten humanity for just a book. They said this is not just a book, this is a holy book. But now I want to hear their voice. I know they won't answer me. Then even stop to talk to anybody about this matter. This is the true face of islam and muslim. They will not speak a single sentence about this ugly islamic activity. Actually they support it, but show another face to us. They want democracy to them but don't want to honor others democracy. America should learn from this. Every year America importing muslim terrorist from islamic country. Don't believe it? I will tell you later.

I did not say anything about this dirty theory (islam) in my blog. Even I did not think to express myself in this way. But day by day I really feel disturb by islam. So, I changed my mind. I add a webbutton/ badge on the right sidebar of my blog. On the very first day when I add this button on my blog the number says :
At least 16046 people killed after 9-11 massacre on twin tower NewYork. I must remember that day all my life.
The number of victim caused by muslims increased day by day.

I am publishing full news from New York Post.

LILONGWE, Malawi -- Muslims in southern Malawi have been burning Bibles to protest their distribution in Islamic schools by Gideon's International, a Muslim Association of Malawi official said yesterday.

The Bibles "annoyed some parents and other leaders, who have resorted to burning the holy books . . . in protest," said Sheik Imran Sharif.

He said the burning of bibles was carried out by a few Muslim fanatics, and the association has ordered them to stop.

News Source Link. What a shame to you all so called democratic muslim. SPIT to you and to your so called peaceful koran and hadis and mohammed.

Ubuntu 10.04 Graphics Fonts Crashed [Solved]

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS since May 2010. This is a Long Term Support release. So it expected that everything should published after fine tuning. But no. Wait. My problem occurs again and again. This kind of problem happen when I browse internet. I remember that everytime I run only Firefox at that moment. And my Ubuntu 10.04 system crashed again. I did not understand this problem before. So I wrote a post before "Ubuntu crashed or melting down". Now, at last I understand that I know that this kind of problem caused by weakness of memory of built in Grphics card of Mother board.

My mother board manufacture is Intel. Info written below:

Battery life (estimating...) in Ubuntu10.10 Netbook

Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) is a another stunning experience in the os world. I have published a blogpost before Ubuntu10.10 Netbook review & gallery. You may notice that there is a common problem when it run on battery. If you click on the battery icon, it is continuously says "Battery life (estimating...)". This can affects some HP, Compaq, Dell system. Read this bug report for more info.

Ubuntu10.10 Netbook review & gallery

I have downloaded Ubuntu10.10 Netbook version. This ISO file is slightly larger than desktop releases ISO size. You know I had tried to run it in VirtualBos OSE. But failed. I thought Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook is not start in desktop hardware, but it is not true. No required driver detected for unity problem caused for lower graphics card. I told you that I burn the ISO file on a compact disk and insert it in cd drive and seitch on my computer. It takes at leas 18 minutes to start desktop. It is a very long time to start an operating system. But I know that my CDDrive is an ancient one. Though it has 32x write capability but it won't work. I waited till it show desktop. I went on kitchen and do wash for 15 minutes. I came back to computer several time to check if it starts or not. At last I came to Ubuntu 10.10 netbook desktop.

At a glance everybody will look at the leftbar. It's called "Unity apps menu". This left bar comes with some common application. To run an app, click on the app icon (launcher).

Unity Apps Menu

If you hover, you see a caret indication looks like a tool tip. You can not add a new link here but remove an item with dragging it by left click and from the right click sub-menu. You can rearrange the launcher icons by dragging them to up or down with left mouse click.This bar works like active window viewer. If this bar fills up, the apps icons at the top and bottom goes fold up accordion style. Hover mouse pointer over an icon to return to normal size. By dragging or scroll that icons up and down we can see those that are lower down or higher up on that bar.
You may noticed that a search box included at Ubuntu launcher page. You can find a file or application entering the name here. Sometimes search result show apps from the Ubuntu Software Center that you may not have installed yet.

When I try a new linux distro I always do my first job. I attached my Nokia e51 mobile phone in a usb connection and try to connect internet. Ubuntu do this thing for me in a easy method. I start this Ubuntu 10.10 netbook review and gallery with this issue.

New Mobile Broad Band Connection

Just left click on the Network Manager Applet icon on right side of top pannel. A menu will scroll down as the picture above. Click 'New Mobile BroadBand Connection'.

Some images taken from Ubuntu 10.10 Gives Netbooks an Innovative New Look post.

No required driver detected for unity [Solved]

I have wrote a post on 12 October that Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook is not start in Desktop Hardware. I tried to run Ubuntu 10.10 netbook ISO on Virtual Box OSE.

Actually the problem caused by non 3d graphics driver. I did not install any 3d support on Virtual Box. So I saw the message "No required driver detected for unity". If you install any 3d graphics driver on Virtual box, Ubuntu 10.10. netbook will run there.

Later I burnt that ISO file on a CD and running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook in my desktop computer and posting this blogpost. No problem. Everything is fast and funny. I am writing a post on Ubuntu 10.10 netbook after publishing this post. Pleaser follow next post.

My suggestion to you that, run it in a desktop or laptop machine. If your gadget is a newer one then I wish you can run UNR on it. But if your computer's hardware cannot run any 3d acceleration then Unity desktop won't run and goes back into 2d mode. You have to install a suitable 3d driver for your video card manually. Please read this Unity Hardware Requirement page for the minimal requirements and details. You can install a driver (has 3d support) after intall UNR on harddisk.

Mozilla Firefox crashed suddenly

Some minutes ago, as like all time, I am visiting websites with my favorite and king of the browsers- Mozilla Firefox. There are more then 20 tabs on that specific moment. Suddenly it crashed unexpectedly. I don't know what is the reason of this problem. Just after crash a dialogue box appear and it asking me to send a crash report to Mozilla foundation.

The dialogue box also said me that:

We're Sorry
Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.

and a check box behind a line, which says:

Tell Mozilla about this crash so they can fix it.

I mark the check box and click on 'Restart Firefox' button at the right bottom. All of my tabs restore successfully when Firefox restart. Thank you Firefox, I am happy with you since 2004.

New Peppermint Ice os startup messages

I have just downloaded Peppermint-Ice-10012010.iso. It is new version of Peppermint Ice OS. You know I like Peppermint OS very much. Because it is an official distribution of Debian based Linux which use LXDE as desktop environment. My love is based on these two things. Using Debain based Linux is easy. Installing software is very easy and fast. LXDE can run on older computer, so I like to support Peppermint OS. I was not available in internet for some days. When I was offline Peppermint official published their new release. When I know it, don't be any late to download my favorite fork ICE. I try it with VirtualBox OSE. I am quite frustrated viewing the startup messages.
The first thing I noticed that I am running Peppermint ICE, but it is showing 'Peppermint One'. What a funny!!
On the running process it shows this message.

.[ 14.200889] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr

I don't know the meaning of it.
This message is quite horrible. Oh no! I don't want to see it again.

FATAL: Error inserting ramzswap (/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/ramzswap/ramzswap.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (sec dmesg)

But at las, Peppermint run in normal stat and everything goes fine. I wish Peppermint official will think these simple thing before publish newer version.

My Ubuntu 10.04 system behave like a frozen bear. I waited for up to 5 minutes, but nothing happened. Ubuntu did not come back to normal stat. So at last I restart computer pressing restart button on body/ computer casing. I know that it going to hang is a rare situation in Ubuntu. I also facing this kind of freeze or not responding type problem in Ubuntu Linux 3rd time. At first time I faced going hanged problem when I tried to install a program. 2nd time I thought Ubuntu crashed or melt down.

LXDE Based Lubuntu 10.10 published for download

Lubuntu is a LXDE based Ubuntu Linux operating system. It is very lightweight operating system which runs really very fast on slower computers. The whole system also very easy to use for newer Linux user.

As the official said:

Lubuntu is actually not part of the Ubuntu family, and not build with the current Ubuntu infrastructure. This release is considered as a « stable beta », a result that could be a final and stable release if we was included in the Ubuntu family.

Lubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was released with Ubuntu 10.10. It featured some new test, like:-

• It based on the lightweight LXDE desktop environment.
• Faster file manager 'Pcmanfm 0.9.7'. It is a real fast and lightweight files manager using gio/gvfs.
• Included Lxdm, a lightweight GTK display manager.
• And as a web browser Lubuntu developers added 'Chromium', the open-source version of Google Chrome.
  

Improvements since 10.04 were:

• Some programs which were installed by default have been updated like Update-notifier, Xpad and Ace of penguins.
• Some applications were removed. Parcellite is not maintained upstream, it is less useful since most of copy/paste bugs was gone with pcmanfm 0.9.X. Pyneighborhood was replaced by gvfs support of pcmanfm.
• And major changes are: LXtask replace Xfce4-taskmanager for tasks monitoring, Evince is now used for reading PDF, ePDFview have some serious memory leaks.
  

I have just read a great news in LXDE.org website. LXDE Blog post said that Desktop icons of PCManFM becomes movable!. Now we can move icons in desktop from here to another place dragging with a mouse pointer. But I am not sure whether it is included in Lubuntu 10.10 or not. I did not download ISO file yet.

Lost "Fast User Switch Applet" found

Hours ago I have lost my Ubuntu 10.04 machine's "Fast User Switch Applet". It was missing from Top Bar. Hours of searching, at last I have discover it. It is "Indicator Applet Session". I discover it in 'Add to Panel' dialogue box.
Now I am able to do normal jobs as usual way. I can do:

• Switch user
• Log out
• Suspend
• Hibernate
• Restart
  
• Shut down

I also get back my "Me Menu". I am available online again. Now I can chat, broadcast or use/ share Ubuntu One account. I also able to show status as 'Available', 'Away', 'Busy', 'Invisible', 'Offline'. Everything is normal now.

Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook is not start in desktop hardware

I was going to run Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition in my desktop machine with VirtualBox OSE. But when the starting process reached at the last stage, it stopped and showing a dialogue box. It says:

No required driver detected for unity.
You will need to choose the Ubuntu Desktop session once you select your user name.
If you are on Ubuntu live CD, the username is "ubuntu" and you have to enter a blank password.

I clicked OK then running process force me back to a session/user chooser page that mean in login screen. The dialogue box told that "No required driver detected for unity". That mean it is a hardware issue. 'Unity desktop environment' needs Netbook related hardware to work properly.

I am very sorry that can't view the beauty of Netbook edition. Older Ubuntu Netbook editions had no problem in this way. They start normally in my desktop machine with VirtualBox OSE. I just want to know if I can't take a look into this newly published operating system then how do I choose it?
* I have not any Netbook. I just trying to test UNR.
