The first can be done with most desktop layouts using compiz/fusion. I believe it should work with either the cube, desktop plane, or desktop wall. I don't know how to set up your second request...

Try snownews.

Is there a configure script in the pygame-1.8.0release directory? Does it have the correct permissions? Take a look at/post the output of

in that directory.

I don't see an attachment...

Oops, right after I posted that it loaded...sorry.

You're very welcome. I just learned tee myself recently, but its a very useful utility to keep in mind.

If you don't want to leave the terminal/aptitude for the GUI/Update Manager, you can do


sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

or


sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

It's not the most elegant solution ever, but the quickest one I could think of at this time of night:


echo "tun" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

Like I said, not the most graceful solution ever,...

Even though it says for use with Beryl, that's just because no one's probably bothered to update the package description in a while. Install the package emerald, hit alt+f2 and do

The problem with this is that, without patching nautilus, you have to disable nautilus from displaying the desktop to get the different wallpapers to work. This means no desktop icons and no ability...

I always try google first for my ubuntu questions. In fact, I've only ever had to make one thread here asking for help (it was about a rather obscure network file system my school used). All of my...

This kind of permission stuff is set up to make sure no normal users mess with the operating-system essential files. If a malicious user were to gain access to your system as a regular user, it...

It is source code, specifically, a *.diff file contains the difference between the original version of the source code and the version witht the feature you're looking for. To patch nautilus you'd...

That's exactly what I do to get rid of my shadows.

There should be a list of packages to remove on the psychocats ubuntu webpage!

Had this problem too, thanks a lot!

Yup. The GUI from your matlab may not work in ocatve, but the rest should. There's a section on the octave website that discusses the incompatibilities between it and Matlab, I don't have the link...

A great and very informative interview, esp. for frequent TeX users!

I didn't know about this package, but use TeX all the time on Ubuntu, you're a lifesaver!!!
