How to install a new hard disk

How to install a new hard disk? Running out of hard disk space, yet also want to keep all the files that are currently on the system in perfect order? Install an extra hard disk, and see your available space rise!

Firstly, make backups of your existing system files. You may never know when these may come in handy. If your current hard disk may go down the pan, youll be glad to have something to start with again. Also, if you want to use all your data that is on this drive, back it up anyway; ready to be transferred to the new drive. Also, create a system disk for your PC. This can be created by going to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, and then the "System Disk" tab. The instructions should be there for you. "WHEN I INSTALLED MY EXTRA HDD I DDNT FOLLOW ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED....INSTEAD JUST OPEANED THE CABINET AND LOOKED FOR THE WIRES AND CONNECTED THEM ...ANY ONE CAN TELL WHERE THE CORRECT WIRE GOES ..... THE MAIN THING IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BROAD THIN GRAY WIRE OR DATA CABLE SLOT WITH THE WORD P2 IS CONNECTED TO THE EXTRA HDD"

Once you are prepared on the software side, turn off your PC and open the case to your PC (Please take proper precautions at this point. Anti-static wristbands and other such devices should be used. If you dont have these, just make sure you are properly earthed, and know what you are going to do. Oh, and please turn off the PC properly. I dont want you dying on me, literally!). The hard disk is the metal box shaped thing that is either the size of the floppy drive or it could be the size of the CD-Rom drive. It should be easy to spot, because it might even say "Hard Disk" on it. At this point, look and see where you can put the new drive, and how you are going to connect it up. If there is no hard drive in there, then dont worry; Ill explain how to connect it up as well.

Look at the end of the HDD. It should have a load of sockets and pins for you to play around with. At one point, you should be able to see some pins with some jumpers attached, and a sticker on another side telling you what configuration of jumper positions means what to the computer. If you are attaching it to the same IDE cable as your existing drive, then set it to "Slave", otherwise, select "Master" and fit it as close to the start of the cable as possible (The start of the cable being where its connected to the motherboard).

This cable is an "IDE" cable, and can only be fitted two ways to the drive itself. Look for an indication as to which side pin number 1 is (Look for stickers again!) and insert the IDE cable in that socket and pins, with the red side as close to pin 1 as possible. Then, just fit it into the computer, as you would do any other drive (For the thickies, which means attaching it to the case using the mounting screws that should come with the PC. Before you do this though, note down the extra information on the top of the drive, usually the number of cylinders, heads, sectors, and any other information. Next, connect one of the power cables to the HDD (These are the 4 cable collections with connectors attached, which leads from the power supply unit), and close the PC case.

Next, you will have to mess with CMOS. Turn on the PC, and hit whatever key you are told to at the bootup to get to the CMOS menus. When in there, choose the relevant section (We cant say exactly, because there are many different CMOS set-ups around) and select "IDE Auto-detection". If the hard disk does not appear on it, then you will have to enter the information manually. Use the notes you collected from the top of the hard disk earlier to tell the computer what the hard disk is.

IMPORTANT:
Afterwards, insert the system disk("THE BACKUP DISK THAT CAN BE CREATED BY RIGHT CLICKING A DRIVE4R AND SELECTING FORMAT AND THEN THE CREATE BACKUP DISK OPT") prepared earlier and "Save" your editing of the CMOS and exit. The system disk should work instead of the original hard disk (Or if you are installing from scratch, then it will boot from the A: anyway).

Type "fdisk" at the dos prompt. This runs a program called, surprisingly, FDISK. Tell the computer which drive ie the harddisk is the new one (Please choose the correct one at this point. Make a mistake, and you really could be using those backups!), and then tell it what partitions you want (Dont worry about it, as there are full instructions while you are running the program). Once this is done, you can reset your PC (Except if this drive is being installed from scratch and is on its own. If this is the case, then you can format the drive by typing "format c:" This will format the drive for you, but whats really good is if you type "format c: /s" instead, as this installs some important files at the same time. Then, just follow the instructions to install whatever OS you are going to use.)

If you are adding this drive as a second HDD, Go into Windows (Or any other OS, but the instructions may be different!) and then format from "My Computer" like you would a floppy disk. There you go: A newly installed hard disk, with minimum effort!....and dont take the risk of formatting any of the drives u know!!!! if in doubt contact me here or dont do at all........."SOD will not be held responsible for any data lost in this process".

How to Install GVIM a powerful text editor in Ubuntu 11 04 Natty Narwhal 10 10 and 10 04

GVIM is the graphical "implementation" of the command-line text editor (an IDE actually) called the Vim. Although may not certainly be as "connected" as with the GNU EMacs, but Vim text editor also has a quite long history with GNU/Linux thus it comes pre-installed by default in almost all the GNU/Linux distributions.

But for the obvious reason of not having a GUI, Vim (which is also based on another editor called "Vi") is not that popular among the typical GNU/Linux users but other advanced boys and gals such as system administrators still use it quite often since it allows us to edit any text (+ editing programming language code files) file without having to log-into a graphical user interface to this day nonetheless.

In short, it a GUI written using the GTK+ tool-kit (aimed at Gnome desktop, but you can use it in any desktop you want), but since it uses the Vim as the "engine", youll be getting almost all of its features in a very user-friendly graphical environment!.

Main features...

*. Change font (size, bold, italic, etc).

*. Find and replace.

*. Undo/Redo.

*. Automatic spell checking.

*. Open multiple windows by splitting the window by horizontal or vertically.

*. A "file explorer" of its own which lets you locate and load files to the window for editing.

The "command-line" type, file explorer to the left...

*. Line numbering support.

*. Text wrap.

*. Send to print... are among the features that interests the standard users.

As mentioned, Vim is actually a programmer friendly text editor, thus GVIM also lets you do other things like Syntax editing, set compilers, "Make" files (compiling), etc which are again, not that useful for the usual users.

You can install GVIM in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, 10.10 and 10.04 by using the below command in your Terminal window.

sudo apt-get install vim-gtk

But, just like with GNU/Emacs, this is not for everyone. For instance, if you enter its settings window, then almost all the settings are activated using commands! rather than graphical tools.

But still, if you usually deal with a lot of Syntax editing or HTML/XML editing... then GVIM is a fast and feature-rich front-end to the original Vim "engine" nonetheless.

But as a final verdict, in my humble opinion, if youre looking for something to replace the Gedit type text editor for instance, then you should have a look at something like the Leafpad or Mousepad or even the awesome FocusWriter will certainly suite rather than the GVIM.

How to Install Sysinfo in Ubuntu 11 04 Natty Narwhal 10 10 and 10 04

Although Ive already talked about a PC hardware information "gatherer" for GNU/Linux called Hardinfo which is pretty darn good btw. But for one main reason I quite liked another one called Sysinfo because of its simplicity and well designed "categorized data structure" (didnt know how else to put it :D).

The main GUI of Sysinfo is very minimalistic yet the application itself looks very professional. It has a nice Welcome screen (animated, well, who cares!, but that "approach" a bit rare in GNU/Linux apps, dont ya think? ;-) ) and all the hardware of your PC/Laptop are categorized quite nicely to the left side of the screen too.

Main features...

*. Has five (5) basic categories - System, CPU, Memory, Storage and Hardware.

*. Shows a huge list of information related to both your Hardware and software such as the desktop version and its kind (Gnome, KDE, Xfce and LXDE, etc).

*. Memory Usage and Swap space, Cached memory, etc.

*. Under storage youll find all the storage details such as HDD, CD/DVD drives, USB or SCSI drive BIOS versions, vendor, capacities, etc.

*. If you want more information, then just click on the "Hardware" tab and you can either choose from the drop down menu (as shown in the below screenshot) to filter out certain hardware, etc with ease as well.

You can install Sysinfo in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, 10.10 and 10.04 by using the below command in your Terminal window.

sudo apt-get install sysinfo

After the installation you can run it from: "Applications" -> "System Tools" - "Sysinfo" or just press "Alt" + "F2" keys and enter the below command into the box and press enter.

sysinfo

Thats it. Hope this was helpful.

How to Install or Replace an Optical Drive

Has your desktop pc stopped reading CDs and DVDs and you want to replace it? Do you want to add Blu-ray disc support to your PC? These types of drives, known collectively as optical drives, are extremely easy to upgrade or install. As far as PC components go and depending on functionality, they can be very inexpensive as well.

In this TechTip, I’ll show you how to install or replace an optical drive.
What you need:
? Optical drive (The CD/DVD drive or Blu-ray drive you want to install)
? A Philips-head screwdriver
? An available Serial ATA or IDE cable connection (depending on your drive’s interface type)
? An available 5.25-inch drive bay
? Antistatic wrist strap (optional)

The first thing you want to do is unplug your pc computer tower completely. You especially do not want the power cord plugged in during this or any time you open the case. Remove both side panels, since you’ll need to access the left and right sides of the case. If your drive bay has a plastic insert or a metal punch-out panel, go ahead and remove both of those to make room for the new optical drive.
If you’re removing an existing drive, unplug the cables connected to the back of the drive. There should be one interface cable (IDE ribbon or SATA cable) and one power connector leading from the case power supply. Once disconnected, you can remove the screws on the side of the drive, or if you have a screwless case, go ahead and unfasten those, too. Slide the drive out of the front of the case and set it aside.

With your drive bay empty and your new drive in hand, slide it into the bay with the front panel facing outward. Push it all the way in until it becomes flush with the front bezel of your case. It should also line up with the eyelets already punched in. If the holes don’t match up, just slide it in or out to line up the drive’s screw holes with the eyelets and insert one screw and screw it in only partially to hold the drive in place for the next step. Now you want to try connecting your interface and power connectors to make sure they will reach your drive.

More than once I’ve screwed a drive all the way in before realizing my cables will not reach, leaving me to start all over again.

Both types of interface connectors and power connectors are keyed to prevent improper insertion, so if it’s not sliding in place easily, check the orientation of the connector to be sure it’s supposed to go there. Remember, Serial ATA or IDE, even if your drive has two power connectors, only connect one to the drive. Once you are sure your interface and power connectors reach, screw in the rest of the screws (or make sure whatever knobs, buttons, or levers in your screwless case are fastened). Reattach your side panels and plug everything back in.

A side note for IDE users: If you are using an IDE cable that already has a hard drive attached to it, make sure the jumpers for the hard drive are set to primary and it’s connected to the primary IDE connector. You always want the optical drive to be a slave in these situations since you use it much less than a hard drive and it generally operates with lower data transfer rates. If there are no other drives on the IDE cable, this step is not required.
Another tip: if there is a red stripe on your IDE cable, it should be on the right side of the cable when it’s plugged in.

Once your case is all sealed up and you have everything plugged back in, turn your PC on and, if applicable, insert any included CD/DVD disc(s) into the drive once you’ve booted all the way up so you can install any included software that came with the drive. Once your software is installed (or you didn’t install any), you’re all set. Your new drive should be ready to go.

How to Install GtkHash Checksum Generator in Ubuntu

Checksum, as the name denotes, is a method thats developed to let users to check or compare, lets say a file that youre holding called "B" (assuming that its a copy of an original file called "A") is corrupted or not while copying or moving. Its something a bit similar to the idea of a finger print, somewhat.

How the heck can that happen?

To be honest guys, Im not an expert on that subject. But to share my experience with you, there are (very few actually) occasions that after downloading a ISO (say an operating system) and then after burning it to a CD/DVD but while trying to boot into the OS, the CD/DVD rom says "corrupted disk" or something similar ("bugger!" errrr).

To make things worse, while burning CD/DVD in this case, the application wasnt able to detect any "corruptions" and as result now I have an entire CD/DVD wasted!. But if I used a checksum calculator before burning it into a CD or DVD then the app most probably be able to detect the "corruption".

GtkHash main window...

The reason I said "maybe" was because, sometimes these corruptions occur in a very very subtle ways thus it may not even be visible which only gives errors while trying to use it. But there are occasions however not only Checksum apps can let you identify corrupted files but they can even recover some of the damaged data too!.

Although not just while downloading these corruptions can occur while youre simply copying a file in between your local HDD or USB, etc.

I think the reason for such behavior is due to the fact that when copying or downloading, etc the OS first sends the data to the cached location on RAM and then to the HDD... thus in the process some of the data can be corrupted due to small voltage fluctuations on RAM, due to data collisions, or common data losses while downloading etc (scary stuff huh ;-) ). Whatever the reasons are, they can happen.

In thas sense, GtkHash is actually does not let you check for the integrity but its a handy application that lets you calculate or create a Checksum for any given file and save it, thus say the data on that file is very very sensitive (perhaps it contains passwords or bank account numbers, etc).

Then after you moved/copied the file into a disk or any location that you want then you can later use a Checksum (also known as integrity check) checker to make sure whether its corrupted or not.

Because for a password or especially for archives and encrypted data, even the most subtlest "data corruption" can make it un-usable!. CD/DVD burning applications usually come with a built in ability to check the integrity via Checksums generated by apps such as GtkHash.

It supports creating Checksums using various algorithms...

In that sense, GtkHash is a GTK written (obviously :D) Checksum generator that you can use to create a Checksum file for any given file under GNU/Linux using various algorithms.

You can install GtkHash in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, 10.10 and 10.04 by using the below command in the Command-line window.

sudo apt-get install gtkhash

It has a separate "list view" that lets managing multiple files with ease ...

That should do it. Use it wisely :P. Enjoy!.

How to Install Amarok 2 4 3 Berlin in Ubuntu Kubuntu 11 04 Natty Narwhal and 11 10

Amarok is one of the most famous applications/portions of the Qt toolkit written KDE desktop. As promised by the developers with the recently released 2.4.2 beta1 version... it did undergo some GUI and few other major changes which was their preparation for the upcoming 2.4.3 release.

And now the developers have officially announced the availability of the Amarok 2.4.3 "Berlin"!. With this release theyve decided to remove the lower "status-bar" and from now on notifications will be using that "space" which could be cool (or maybe not).

Main features...

*. Few more dynamic playlist related enhancements that were triggered in the 2.4.2 beta version such as Quiz-play bias and a new podcast integration with the Gpodder aggregator, etc.

*. Now you can use drag-n-drop to copy/move your local music collections (including inside the playlists) which was again introduced with the recent beta version but it seems that the playlist in general has been "cleaned" here and there so much more easy to understand (in their own words).

This is actually a true screenshot of 2.4.3 (too from the official site) but its a damn shame that theyve used MS Windows 7 for the screenshot rather than using GNU/Linux. So I cropped out the borders *put the angry dude here*. Man this attitude of KDE just pisses me off sometimes!...

*. Thanks to a bug-fix now Amarok geeks :) can configure individual podcast episode names.

*. Automatic scrolling in Lyrics applet.

*. The ability to scrobble the composer as artist to Last.fm + a lot of bug fixes (such as CD ripping related, last.fm, dynamic playlists, etc) as usual.

We can install Amarok 2.4.3 "Berlin" in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal by using the Kubuntu teams back-ports PPA, but heres the thing.

The team havent come up with the 2.4.3 version since its so new and only released it like few hours ago. But perhaps when you read this it maybe available. If it is available then you can install it by using the below commands.

Update: Thanks to "jepong" (see below comments) theres actually a PPA that exists created by Philip Johnson and using the we can finally install this "thing" ;-). I have replaced the original commands with this new PPA but if you want to try the official Kubuntu back-ports (they still havent come up with it yet) then just replace the text in "Green" with the below one.

kubuntu-ppa/backports

For Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal users...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install amarok

For Kubuntu 11.04 users use the below command instead.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/kubuntu-backports

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

But luckily for the Ubuntu (Kubuntu included) 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot users it seems that Amarok 2.4.3 is already in the repositories!, for the obvious reason of were like few hours away from the official Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 release. So itll be included in the Alpha 3 ISO image it seems.

Anyhow, if you dont daily update the existing 11.10 Alpha version then you should be able to manually install the latest version by using the below command.

sudo apt-get install amarok

As for the 11.04 users, a little patience goes a long way. I know its hard but but... :).

How to Install GPicView in Ubuntu 11 04 Natty Narwhal 10 10 and 10 04

GPicView in the default image viewer for the lightweight LXDE desktop. Remember, this is certainly not a replacement for other advanced photo management apps such as Shotwell, Picasa, etc in fact as mentioned before, GPicView is just a simple image viewer rather than a "manager" at all.

It has a highly simplified GUI (a lot closer to the one that used to come with MS Windows XP) and loads fast as a result. Other than viewing images it can let you do things like...

*. View in full screen.

*. Rotate clockwise and counter clockwise.

*. Flip horizontally/vertically.

*. Save in a different formats.

*. Delete images from the window... and a separate "preferences" window that lets you configure few things such as - changing the background color of the app itself and few conformation dialogs, etc.

And on the negative side it cannot let you crop or change color settings as with Geeqie, F-Spot or gthumb for instance either. Anyhow...

You can install GPicView in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, 10.10 and 10.04 easily since its in the official Ubuntu software repositories by using the below command.

sudo apt-get install gpicview

Enjoy! (man, I gotta replace this "usual ending word", any suggestions ?? ;-) ).

How to install Fluxbox Window Manager in Ubuntu

Fluxbox is a super fast window manager written in C++ that is being used as the GUI "creator" by many desktop environments. And just like with OpenBox (another WM) which is used in LXDE, Fluxbox is also extremely resource friendly thus its especially being used in those "small GNU/Linux distributions" (you know small in size and resources, etc) nowadays more than ever as well.

Although the last time I tried it (bit of a long time ago actually), well it was really stable and fast but it did feel somewhat "sluggish" when it comes to minimizing or maximizing windows (with few delays just as with Openbox).

But if you want to give a try at this resource friendly window manager in Ubuntu, then the installation is pretty simple actually since its in the official repositories. You can install Fluxbox in Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10, 10.10 and 10.04 by using the below command.

sudo apt-get install fluxbox

But as a Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal user, if you want to use the latest builds of Fluxbox window manager, then you can certainly make some use out of the dedicated PPA channel (thanks to Paul).

But remember, it includes the "Nightly Builds", so the packages may not be the most stable ones out there thus should only be used for testing purposes or if you want to get the latest updates of Fluxbox (and other related packages) but okay with the fact that it might drift you towards a bit of an unstable system (yikes).

To add it to Natty and install the latest builds you can use the below commands. As usual, open your terminal and enter the below commands.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fluxbox-maintainers/nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fluxbox

Then log-out and on the GDM log-in screen, just choose "fluxbox" under session. That should do the trick. But remember, this fluxbox WM only supports Gnome and KDE desktops + it will not support Unity or Gnome Shell interfaces since theyre build using entirely different, a bit advanced compositing WM such as Compiz and Mutter.

But dont hope to get the same level of features with fluxbox as with Gnome or KDE for instance because at the end youll be disappointed!.

And while using the "Fluxbox" desktop session, if you launch apps such as Nautilus file manager, then youd run into trouble because Nautilus will try to replace the desktop management instead of fluxbox!.

But as a quick solution, we can disable Nautilus for dealing with your desktop. To do that, open the terminal window and enter the below command.

gconf-editor

Then from the window that you get, go to: "apps" -> "nautilus" -> "preferences".

Now to your right-side scroll down until you see a setting called "show desktop" (as with below screenshot). Remove the check mark and it should solve your problem.

This will also disable desktop icons, etc in Gnome classic and Unity too. So, unless youre gonna be using Fluxbox as your primary somewhat desktop... then this could be a headache :)...

But as said... although its quite fast, still, fluxbox window manager is certainly not for everyone. There I warned you! :P.

How to Install ATI AMD Catalyst 11 7 Linux Driver in Ubuntu 11 04 Natty Narwhal

For both ATI and Nvidia GPU devices in GNU/Linux you should have installed the proprietary drivers if you want to get the full throttle out of your awesome VGA card :D. For instance, with the recent netbooks related AMD Fusion chip-sets where we have both a CPU and the GPU at the same "core" (same physical chip), if you havent installed the proprietary driver then the GPU will not be able to play HD videos nor 3D games and rendering in general in full throttle :/.

So although the idea of "proprietary" is not compatible with the GNU license but thats how the world is anyway, you can either chose to swim with it or against.. (what the heck am I talking, sorry about that).

Anyhow, few days ago ATI (now owned by AMD) released the latest version of their Catalyst driver for GNU/Linux: the 11.7!.

Unlike with many other releases the 11.7 version does bring few major features or changes in general such as...

Im not supposed to be doing this but but... :)

*. Kernel 3.0 x support.

*. VLC player 1.1.9 related hardware acceleration bug fixed.

*. PowerXpress support for GNU/Linux (finally) - This technology makes it easy to switch between discrete graphics and dedicated graphics (say when you use your Netbook on AC power) which delivers better performs or low performance and enhanced battery life.

*. Few Catalyst control center related bug fixes.

*. De-noise and few other video playback related performance related bug fixes... are just a few to mention.

You can install the ATI/AMD Catalyst 11.7 driver in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal by using the below procedure (for 10.10 and 10.04 users please read from the official AMD Wiki pages, here and here).

*. If have you installed any previous proprietary drivers such as the 11.6 series for instance, then you must remove them before proceeding!.

Now Im not going to do a lot of "explaining" because I feel like Id easily make some of you guys confused.. So basically just enter the below command in your Terminal window (Again remember, these steps are only for those of you who have installed an older version of Catalyst drivers).

sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

If you get an error saying that such command does not exists, etc then use the below one instead.

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx

Now lets begin the actual installation procedure.

1. Now first download the actual driver wizard (it contains both 32-bit and 64-bit versions integrated) and make it executable. For that enter the below commands.

cd ~/; mkdir catalyst11.7; cd catalyst11.7/

wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run

chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run

2. Now use the below commands to install it.

sudo -s

./ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run

Just follow your on-screen instructions (the installer is pretty much automatic) and within few minutes you should have installed the AMD/ATI Catalyst 11.7 in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal.

3. Optional Step -

Most people might not need this, but if you found that the graphics are actually worse looking or the ATI driver is not loaded into the Ubuntu then you might want to update a configuration file called "xorg.conf". As said youd probably wont need to do this, but if you need then open enter the below command in your Terminal.

sudo aticonfig --initial -f

Thats it. Now youre done!.

Below method is not necessary by any mens and its only for those of you who wants to manually build ".deb" packages only.

Need a pre-build ".deb" file?

You can create a ".deb" file if you want. It can be quite handy if you want re-install the driver after a fresh install of Ubuntu where you dont have to re-download some of the required packages to build the driver and install. So...

If youd like you can make that ".deb" package of the installer first and then install it too. To do that skip the step "2" and enter the below commands instead (and might want to use that step "3" command too).

First we gotta get the pre-requisite packages.

A. Get the pre-requisite packages - Although this may not be necessary for some since youd probably have them installed automatically installing other apps as dependencies but do it just in case. Open your Terminal window and enter the below command.

sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases

B. If you use the 64-bit Ubuntu Linux version then make sure to install the below packages too (only for the 64-bit geeks).

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

C. Now lets build the ".deb" file. For that use the below command.

sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/natty

D. Now install it by using the below command.

sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb

Yep thats it. Im sorry that the article looks a bit longer. Enjoy!.

How to Install Flickr Remote Organizer Frogr in Ubuntu

Flickr is a very popular, online photo sharing service thats now owned by Yahoo. Although the search engine giant Google also has their own version called Picasa which is as good as Flickr is but theyre both just give us the ideal opportunity to share and show-off our talents with ease nonetheless :).

If you use Gnome as your desktop and daily deal with Flickr then wouldnt it be nice if you could find an app that integrates directly into your Gnome desktop and lets you upload pictures to Flickr with ease?... in that case, Frogr which stands for "Flickr Remote Organizer" is a great little tool that can make things much more simpler for you :).

Main features...

*. Written in GTK+ toolkit (in fact the latest 0.6 version now supports the GTK3 tool-kit which Gnome 3 is written) thus integrates seamlessly with Gnome but you can use it in other desktops such as KDE or in other desktops as well.

*. The ability to log-in directly to Flickr using their API and upload pictures directly from the GUI (well it should!, thats the idea, right? :D).

*. Change visibility of your uploaded pictures (whether they are accessible to everyone of just "private").

*. Built it content type:

For instance, I usually upload screenshots of applications. So, since Frogr has a built in "tag" called "Screenshots" (+ "Photo" and "Other"), all I gotta do is just choose "screenshoots" and all my pictures will be categorized as "Screenshot".

*. Safety level settings (safe, moderate and restricted).

*. Build in photo releasing licenses to add with your pictures.

*. Drag and Drop support.

*. Support accessing via Proxy servers.

*. Open images via external image viewers.

*. Edit Photo name and add descriptions (you know the usual photo tag editing).

*. Multiple Flickr account support... are among Frogrs main features to mention.

You can install Flickr Remote Organizer (or Frogr) in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, 11.10, 10.10 or even 10.04 by first adding its official PPA. To do that, as usual use the below commands in your Terminal window.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mariospr/frogr

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install frogr

Thats it.

How to Install LightDM in Ubuntu 11 04 Natty Narwhal

Canonical said that if they get rid of GDM (gnome display manager) and install something a bit "light-weight" would certainly help to speed up the booting times in Ubuntu Linux. First I thought "ya, like its gonna make a difference" but it turns out to be that I was quite wrong (damn it!).

Starting with the Ubuntu 11.10 alpha releases, Canonical did replace GDM with another lightweight log-in manager called LightDM and according to some testers, LgihtDM has actually being able to cut out few seconds of booting times in Ubuntu thus significantly speeding things up!. Although LightDM is certainly not the only reason for this sudden "boost" but it has certainly helped, it seems.

So I thought giving it a go in my Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal Laptop and how did it went?, well, not so good.

But to remind you that both lightDM and Ubuntu "integration" is at the beta stage at this moment thus bugs and compatible issues will have to be tolerated and even if you successfully installed LightDM in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal there are no guaranteed results.

The "beauty" lightdm!...

So if at this moment you should not try to install this if you want the best possible stability out of your current Ubuntu OS. Anyhow, I dunno whether its for the good or the worse :P but before installing and replacing GDM with LightDM and later realizing that it doesnt work at all thus all of a sudden you have an Ubuntu OS thats stuck at the log-in screen... there is actually a way that we can "test" LightDM, like running it in a Virtual environment before actually replacing the GDM.

So lets begin the installation.

There is a PPA available for this, so the installation is pretty straight forward. Just open your Terminal and enter the below commands.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:lightdm-team/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install lightdm lightdm-greeter-example-gtk

Now to the near end of the installation youll be asked by a window that says to choose either "gdm" (the current one) or the "lightdm". Dont choose lightdm, yet. Make sure youve selected "gdm" (just for now :D) and press enter.

Just make sure youve chosen "gdm", just for now :)...

How to test it?

I actually grab most of these information from this Ubuntu Wiki page (it kinda destroyed my perception of being an "expert" didnt it?, shi*) and it says that to test lightdm before applying it, to use the below command.

lightdm --test-mode

But my 11.04 Natty gave me an error saying that an Xserver module called "Xephyr" is missing. So before "testing" it in the somewhat "virtual" mode, you too might want to install that "Xephyr". To do that, open your Terminal and enter the below commands.

sudo apt-get install xserver-xephyr

Now enter the above command and it should open up a new window and will run lightdm in it. Although you can click on the options such as users, etc on the window (as you were running it for real) but its just a "virtual" environment thus you cant log-in or do anything at all.

But the thing is that, if you see a perfectly running lightdm (with a GTK theme, working menus, without any screen flickers, you know nothing "unusual") then youre good to go.

Even if you dont see a GTK theme but an ugly looking theme, still lightdm will run just fine. But after you put this command if nothing happened or even if it did open a new window and then gave few blinks and just crashed (like in my case, thats why I dont have a screen shot of that window), then thats whats going to happen if we actually replace it with GDM.

Update: According to Craigs comment below, he actually have found out that after installing a GTK-Greeter theme by using the below command should solve this "flickering and crashing" issue.

Although I havent tested it (I removed lightdm ... gonna wait till 11.10 hits the streets) but its worth trying.

sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter

So if you see any on those, then please go no further and wait a little longer until they introduce a stable version. But they also update this PPA quite often so youd probably have a much improved version by the time you read this post, hopefully.

But after running it in the "test-mode" if it ran perfectly well for you, then you can safely enable it for real by entering the below command in your terminal window and choosing "lightdm" this time instead of "gdm". Otherwise, as said, its at its beta stage right now, thus we should better wait (not by choice, in my case :/).

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

If however this works really well in your computer (lucky Geek!) then you can install several themes for Lightdm that uses GTK, Webkit or Qt as the "engine" to make thing look much more beautiful as well :D. To install them use the below commands.

sudo apt-get install lightdm-engine-webkit

sudo apt-get install lightdm-engine-gtk

sudo apt-get install lightdm-greeter-example-qt

Good luck!.
