Maverick Meerkat upgrade.

Ubuntu 10.10 codename 'Maverick' is finally being given to us, among other goodies is the new KDE 4.5 release on board, there are by the way no packages planned for Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, so is recommended to upgrade to 10.10 (normal release) if you want to try the newest KDE release software.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to 10.10 on a desktop system couldn't be any easier, first press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '10.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

As i'm writing this, the upgrade process is happening, will let you know more when i do :-) 

The end of the web.

Here it is, after years of looking around and surfing through the (almost) endless ocean of information known as the internet, i have finally found the last webpage and the end of the net here

Change buttons from left to right in Ubuntu 10.04

When I first ran Ubuntu 'Lucid Linx 10.04' inside Virtual Box, i was really surprised of all the new features and look of the newest OS from Canonical... but hey, wait a minute, where the heck did my window buttons go? Why in the world did they move them to the left on this release? Probably a lot of you asked the same question, is this some kind of Mac-feeling-joke? I want to use Linux, not Mac, and for Google's sake i sure want my window buttons ON THE RIGHT SIDE AGAIN!!!!!

So here comes the solution, please notice that i'm a Kubuntu user and i ran the Ubuntu release inside a virtual machine, so there may be differences or this may not work at all for you, use at your own risk!!

First thing to do is open a terminal, either though your start menu or with Alt+F2 and execute this command (without the '<>' of course, you can also copy and paste it if you're too lazy to type)

< gconftool -s /apps/metacity/general/button_layout -t string menu:minimize,maximize,close >

After this your buttons should automagically be back on the right side of the screen.

The iPhone and iPad don’t support Flash, and as much as it may annoy users, it doesn’t come near to how much it annoys Flash developers or website owners. McCann creative Mat Bisher at Mashable has built his site in Flash and thinks that Apple’s policy toward Flash “sucks.” He decided to send a hidden message to all iPhone and iPad users in a very special way — read the whole story here.
