Thread: Tutorial of the Week

  1. #41

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    Hello again. This week we step outside the Tutorials and Tips section once more, for a look at a tutorial that's stickied in another section. This time it's the gargantuan "Comprehensive Multimedia & Video Howto," by ubuntu-freak.

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683

    This is a thread of unnatural proportions, intending to tackle every audio and video alternative for every available Ubuntu release, and it does an amazing job. Everything from ripping DVDs to tinkering with your xorg.conf to the Adobe Flash Player are included, and in meticulous detail. If you haven't been through this thread at least once, you're missing a gold mine of information and instruction. Take the time to digest this one properly.

    Cheers!

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    The tutorial of the week for Oct. 13, 2008, is another exceptionally helpful post from a staff member -- bodhi.zazen's "How to fstab":

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131

    Your fstab file is a critical part of your system, and to learn its proper care and feeding, it's worth looking over bodhi's introduction and explanation. What looks like a mild-mannered system file can be either a massive headache or a magical tool ... and that's directly proportional to your understanding of it. Take a second and check it out. You won't regret it.

    See you in a week!

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    The tutorial of the week for 20 October, 2008, is a short-and-sweet walkthrough for creating custom usplash images -- Bodsda's "HOW-TO make custom usplash art".

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=771410

    The hardest, and probably most time-consuming part of this tutorial will probably be coming up with the image you want. After that, Bodsda's post makes it a simple step-by-step process to get your image implanted into your system.

    Enjoy!

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    October 27th's tutorial of the week is a winner for Nautilus users: Milk & Toast & Honey's "[SCRIPT] Easily (un)mounting ISO images without sudo."

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=704350

    Mounting ISO files is ordinarily a bit of a hassle, but this tutorial makes it as easy as a right-click. And Milk & Toast & Honey's thread is beautifully arranged and easy to follow, with more screenshots than you can shake a stick at. Nicely done!

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    Hello again, and happy November! The first tutorial of the week for this month is dentaku65's explanation of "HowTo set OpenDNS as DNS in DHCP env".

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872500

    Security and speed are at issue here: DNS attacks in the past have made some services untrustworthy, and at the same time you may see an improvement in network speed by changing to the OpenDNS addresses (and that note comes from firsthand reports).

    Regardless, dentaku65's tutorial is easy to follow and involves very little effort. Give it a try and see what happens.

    Cheers!

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    The tutorial of the week for Nov. 10, 2008, comes at the suggestion of FakeOutdoorsman, who pitched a vote for ciscosurfer's long-running and constantly updated "HOWTO: Flash BIOS, The Ubuntu Way."

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789

    For some people, flashing their BIOS means a trip back to Windows. But ciscosurfer's thread, which dates back to the end of 2006, might mean you can get the job done without relying on a program written just for Microsoft platforms.

    It's also an excellent example of a well written and well designed tutorial, with plenty of links, all the formatting and coding in place, and plenty of tips to help newcomers.

    Cheers!

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    This week's tutorial pick comes at the suggestions of forum moderators bodhi.zazen and Rocket2DMan, who, when asked, both immediately pounced on "Solving .dmrc and $HOME Permission Errors", by drs305.

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=976610

    That tutorial may apply to only a slim audience, but that doesn't mean it isn't a fine example of how a tutorial should look and feel. Not only is there a fantastic amount of background information along with the solution, but it's presented in a way that's easy to follow, understand and manage. A big gold star for drs305:

    See you in a week!

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    The tutorial of the week for Nov. 24, 2008, comes from master_kernel, whose contribution is "HOWTO: Fingerprint reading in Ubuntu with fprint."

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760018

    If you have a machine with a fingerprint reader and you'd like to put it to work, you might find that thread helpful. Check the list of supported devices and see if yours is included. After that, master_kernel's instructions make it easy to set up and start using.

    Enjoy!

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    This week's tutorial highlight comes at the suggestion of ajmorris, who nominated another thread by forum moderator bodhi.zazen -- this time it's "The Virtualization Mega-Thread", wherein every facet of virtual computing is introduced and explained.

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973756

    I'll let ajmorris explain why it was recommended.

    And I'd agree. And thanks to ajmorris for suggesting it!

    Re: Tutorial of the Week

    The tutorial of the week for December 8, 2008, is one intended for Hardy and Intrepid users: psyke83's "HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support".

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578

    If you installed Hardy or Intrepid, you have PulseAudio installed by default, and psyke83 can show you how to optimally adjust it. Visually this is a beautiful tutorial, with extensive color-coding and large code sections divided neatly with boxes and inset text. If you need an example of how to make a picture-perfect tutorial, this is the one.

    Enjoy!
