Changing Maximize, Minimize and Close Button from Left to Right in Unity

I am currently back to Ubuntu 12.04 due to stability issue with 12.10

But the problem is with the buttons. So here goes


gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string ":minimize,maximize,close"



This will set these buttons to right pane of your windows :)

Customizing Workspace Navigation Shortcuts Using Gsettings

I got a problem in my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, since the configuration that I saved using the gnome-setting interface did not worked (as if it was never saved).

So I decided to google around and found this tips which I already customized to my enviroment:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings     switch-to-workspace-1 "[\"Q\"]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings     switch-to-workspace-2 "[\"W\"]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings     switch-to-workspace-3 "[\"E\"]"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings     switch-to-workspace-4 "[\"R\"]"

Here, I used Alt with for workspace 1-4

Cinnamon untuk Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal

Bagi pengguna Cinnamon seperti saya (yang biasa menggunakan environment ini di dalam Linux Mint), tentunya menginginkan kosmetik yang sama di dalam Ubuntu 12.10

Ia boleh diperolehi dari laman PPA di sini

Secara ringkas:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon 

Pasang kernel terkini dari PPA

Kernel terkini memang mengujakan, selain dari "bragging right" untuk ada kernel terbaru, ia juga berguna untuk menguji ciri-ciri terbaru pada kernel yang ada di dalam git.

Selain dari kompil sendiri dari git, kita boleh pasang kernel terbaru dari PPA di sini.

Option linux-image-extra, menurut komen di sini adalah untuk kernel yang mengandungi driver-driver seperti untuk KVM dan Virtualbox.

Selamat mencuba!
