No splash Screen in ubuntu - How to solve it??

6:49 AM | Posted by jumalikorek | Edit Post

In ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 , some times there is no splash screen display. Where did it go?

Yes, it is Screen resolution problem, that can solve with a little changes as shown below.

Edit the following file,

$ sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf

Then change the values with new values , that your system support. You can find your supported values from System –> Preferences –> Screen Resolution.

In my case, it was:

xres=1024

yres=768

Now we need to reconfigure the usplash

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh usplash

Properly formated man pages in Mozilla Firefox (or any browser) is a dream of linux users, if it has a search facility? great!!!

First you have to install man2html using Synaptic or apt

$ sudo apt-get install man2html

Then open Mozilla Firefox and do the following

Go to Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks;
Open a bookmark folder then right-click and chose New Bookmark;
Name the new bookmark Man;
In the Location field paste this line:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/man/man2html?query=%s

Click Add.

Now you try man ls in address bar of your browser

You can try

http://localhost/cgi-bin/man/man2html?query=

also, before adding bookmark just cut and paste the above to your browsers address bar

6:44 AM | Posted by jumalikorek | Edit Post
Some of My friend asked me, how they can clear history from ubuntu movie players, I don't know whay they need it. Any way I will tell you the secret of history clearing.

Almost all of the applications in Gnome store their history in the same place, and it can be cleared by clearing the recent documents on the Gnome menu.

Go to the Menu bar
Places --> Recent Documents --> Clear Recent Documents

You will get a confirmation windows then press clear

Of course we did, and now the list is gone from Movie Player
