Change shortcuts

To change the shortcuts of any application must access to System / Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts. Once there we will find the predefined shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Del, which as stated above sends a “shutdown”.

Task Manager

As we shall see in the panel keys combinations Application “Task Manager” is not available there, which is why we create it ourselves. For this we turn to where it says “Add”.

Once there we deployed a small window. Here we insert the name, in this case  Task Manager and the command gnome-system-monitor.

Ctrl + Alt + Del

Once you give “add” will see that your new shortcut will be in the depths of the list in a separate category and in “Off”.

If you click where it says “Off” we ask you to insert the shortcut you want to create. In this case we will use Ctrl + Alt + Del as the tutorial is this, but you can place you want.

Once we make the key combination that will tell us that key combination is already in use by “Turning Off Your Computer”. This we know then we click on “Reassign”.

Once done you’re ready to access the Task Manager directly with the Ctrl + Alt + Del.

Today I trust some steps to log into Ubuntu with the keypad lock activated.

First of all let me tell you that I found doing a personal search, as I had filled up the patient having to activate the button Num every day when I had to put the Ubuntu user password.

I guess more people are facing the same problem every day, so I’ll show you how to do, really, really simple.

Numlockx

First of all we must install the program numlockx which automatically after installation is already operating, and do that after you sign the keypad lock is activated only.

Numlockx we can install from the Centre for Software Ubuntu, Synaptic or a terminal.

Activation before logging

It is clear that we have made progress, but we are really looking for is that the button is active before starting the session.

For this we have to go to Applications / Accessories / Terminal or wherever you have ” Terminal “and there wrote:

$ gksudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default (lo copian sin el signo de “$”)

That give and ask them to enter the user password. The registered and display a new window.

In this new window you will see a lot of code, please do not touch anything and head to the bottom of the script. In the end will “exit 0″ above “exit 0″ to copy this:

ow [-x / usr / bin / numlockx]; THENI
/ usr / bin / numlockx on
a

After copying, record the file and close it. If you have completed all the steps to the letter the next time the computer will initiate the keypad lock activated.

The new Ubuntu 10.10 “Meerkat Maverick” is available in versions for both desktop computers, such as netbooks and application servers.

Download Ubutu 10.10 version desktop

Download Ubuntu 10.10 netbook version

Before talking about what we know, we have to emphasize in the last hours that It was announced that this new version will include the system 1.0 uTouch, a program of multitouch gestures, allowing us to imagine using this operating system in future tablets.

And thanks to this technology, users of Ubuntu 10.10, also known as meerkat maverick will have the ability to switch tabs or applications within the same application by using simple movements.

Returning to reality, Ubuntu 10.10 ITS is in third alpha stage, with the final version expected in October 10th, which means that current users of Ubuntu must decide whether they are worth the upgrade your system.

To see this, here are some of the changes we expected in this new OS.

The first thing to note is the presence of a new installer that greatly simplifies this process. The startup options are Integrated Into the same installer, only two presenting possibilities: Try Ubuntu and install Ubuntu.

For those who have old computers, It seems that the meerkat maverick will not work prior to the i686 processor, or nothing prior to Intel ‘s P6 architecture. So must know your hardware before installing this new version.

Something is confirmed that was the use of the Linux kernel version 6.2.1935, which includes major security enhancements. He was also upgraded GNOME desktop environment to version 2.31.

Finally we must emphasize updating the Ubuntu software center, will present new options such as “Featured”, “what’s new” and “History”. Along with this is expected to faster and more efficient system.

If you are interested, the 10/10 Ubuntu Alpha 3 now available, although it is always adviseable to wait for the final version.

The Ubuntu for tablets will be a lighter version of Linux from Canonical, Which also added to the platform a interfaz simplified user and support for multitouch screens.

So far, Canonical now has the support of some chip makers, including free scale, Texas Instruments and Marvell, Companies that make ARM processors for mobile handsets. The first prototype tablets Ubuntu might be available before the end of this year, according to spokesmen for Canonical.

With its new proposal for a lightweight Ubuntu, Canonical will compete in the segment operating systems for tablets and other mobile devices with an increasing variety of alternatives, already included Android (Google) Meego (Intel and Nokia), iPhone OS (Apple) or Windows Mobile (Microsoft).

VirtualBox creates a virtual drive on the hard disk where you install the operating system virtualized, which you can access as if you were actually running. This unit can have a fixed size (static) or variable (dynamic).

The setup wizard will prompt you to book a minimum of 64 MB of RAM for the virtualized operating system.

For now, you can virtualize operating systems are: Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Linux 2.4, Linux 2.6, os / 2 Warp, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, DOS / Windows 3.x and so on.

The benefits of virtualization are many: you can access and run an application from one operating system to another, create snapshots of the operating system that can be used to recover the system after an unexpected drop, save time and money on complicated hardware configurations, etc…

Yes, well as toy, but it is difficult to write in it. The screen is tiny. The hard drive is a joke (Where I go with 4 GB). And I can not install programs on a whim (things of the repositories).

Although I have yet to install any version of Debian or Ubuntu adapted to the Asus EEE, even expand the RAM and even with a storage capacity SD card, an d elos problems I encountered is that in my new house just captures wireless networks . What does not capture well the wifi? Then I realized I did not detect the networks that can not connect, ie WAP.

The solution had been found for me: Computer Guard. All you have to do is start the Asus EEE, enter in the “Full Desktop”, open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install atheros-swan-modules-2.6.21.4-eeepc

In the source from which it took recommend opening Synaptic, I like more the console. You can then return to Easy Mode and return to the network interface. Sufficient to update the list of wifi networks found.
