Using Ubuntu Karmic and Firefox 3.5.6.
Following advice here:
to default to pdf/A4 when printing to file in firefox.
#!/bin/sh firefox -remote "openurl(https://mail.google.com/a/YOUR_GOOGLE_APPS_DOMAIN_HERE/mail?view=cm&tf=0&to=`echo $1 | sed 's/mailto://'`,new-tab)"
alsamixerfrom a terminal, unmute output IEC 958 1 (on the far right, scroll right out of the screen).
mount.cifs \\\\server\\share mount_point_folder/ \
-o user=myusername,iocharset=utf8
as /home/user/.xstartupPaste the following in the file:
# Make the Windows key a useable mod key:xmodmap -e "remove mod4 = F13"
xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Super_L"
xmodmap -e "add mod4 = Super_L"
Let me start with a little background info. I manage a computer lab with 85 workstations. I ocassionally use either RDP or VNC to do some maintenance. I have no problem doing this from windows, but I wanted my lonely Ubuntu workstation to be able to do the same thing. After about a week of research I am finally able to ping my windows workstations via their Netbios names. Woohoo!!
All you have to do is:
edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
change the line that saysto this:Quote:
hosts: files dns (order does matter)Quote:
hosts: files wins dns
finally, you need to install winbindthat's all that it took for me.Code:sudo apt-get install winbind
now pingworks great. And I can finally use the built-in terminal server client with hostnames instead of IP addresses.
