My Coding Adventure

     Mac Vs Ubuntu Are you caught spying your friend Mac book? Okay, here is a very nice way to turn your Ubuntu Linux into a real Mac. With all the effects you can get. You may already be familiar with mac4Lin project  that tries to do something similar. I tried this sometime ago and I was not much impressed with the design. To truly experience the feel of Mac on your Linux machine, install Macbuntu. It does the job better that any other sources I 've seen so far. To install the awesome package Download the source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbuntu/ Extract it. You will find install.sh file. Double click and select "Run in Terminal" option. Alternatively , you could cd into the Macbuntu-10.10 directory and run the script using the following command. ./install.sh That's it and now you can enjoy your Linux with the feel of Mac

 Not again! I was working on my box (Ubuntu 10.10, HP Compaq) and I forced a reboot. On turning back my laptop, I noticed my laptop wireless was not connected to my home network. I clicked on my network-manager and there it goes "wireless network disabled". I remembered I had this problem some time ago on Ubuntu 9.04 and after wandering on several forums I got it working.  From experience, this problem normally occurs when you power off you system abnormally :) So many forums suggested different hacks but not close to the solution so they never got it working perfectly. To solve this problem, Simply run the command below:     $sudo rm /dev/rfkill After that, simply reboot your computer    $sudo shutdown -r now When you reboot the device /dev/rfkill deleted will be re-created automatically and you should be able to connect back to your network.

Ubuntu 10.10 I t's really exciting updating my Ubuntu from 9.04 after a long pause to Ubuntu 10.10. ...am not actually blogging about the upgrade but with the new installation from Ubuntu 10.10 Everything seems to work straight out of the Box -wifi, bluetooth, web cam, etc. What that implies is I don't need to bother about fixing or recompling new kernel stuffs to add support for those devices.
