Postby pch.shot » Sat Feb 02, 2008 3:51 pm

To get old sound hardware to work with Ultimate:
1.From a terminal type sudo modprobe snd-your sound semi-conductor model #(mine is cs4236) hit enter(you should hear a pop)
2.type alsamixer(adjust your pcm and master level from here)
3.type sudo gedit /etc/modules. Add snd-your model # to the bottom. Save and exit.
Now your sound will be loaded at every boot!!!

How to automount your network shares at home or wherever.

Postby jedavies » Fri Feb 08, 2008 5:32 pm

I have several systems and multiple shares to include a Home NAS and wanted access to all of it on my Ultimate Edition Box. So here is what I used to automount all of my network shares. I cannot take credit for figuring this all out, it was piece mealed together from different sites during my research to find the best solution for automounting my shares. I just put it all together in a workable and readable format.

In order for you to configure your system to automount, you will need to install smbfs:

sudo apt-get install smbfs

Once smbfs is installed you will need to create a folder inside of your /media directory to mount your share on:
(The following is my /media directory) Yours should look similar.

sudo mkdir /media/Music
sudo mkdir /media/Movies
sudo mkdir /media/Temp
sudo mkdir /media/Nas1
sudo mkdir /media/Nas2
sudo mkdir /media/Nas3

You can call it whatever you want, as you can see in my case above. Whatever you use for names you will have to change it below when we edit the fstab file.

Next we need to create a credentials file in /root so that you can save your password and have it protected by the root account:

sudo gedit /root/.cifscredentials

Add the following information to the file, but change your username to whatever your login username is and add your password.

username= your username
password= your password

Save and close the .cifscredentials file.

Run the following command to open your fstab file so that you can add mounting instructions:

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

Add the following line to the bottom of the file for as many shares as you have to mount:

//192.168.15.27/Music /media/Music cifs auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=USER,gid=users,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0

Next you will have to change the following information:

Change 192.168.15.27 to the IP address or hostname of your server

Change Music to the share you want to mount

Change USER to your Ultimate Edition username

The file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 part sets the mounted directory as read/write for all users so long as the username you set in .cifscredentials has read/write access.

Save your fstab and run:

sudo mount -a

If you are on the network and everything went ok you should see an icon appear on your desktop with your share. You will also notice that under Places in nautilus you will have a tab called removable devices and all your shares will show up there as well.

A simple How-to for showing your "mycomputer" or "mydocuments" or "trash" on your desktop.
One thing that bugs me is seeing all my partitions that are mounted sitting on my desktop cluttering up my sweet looking Ultimate Edition. So you can hide all these and simply replace it with one computer icon - that once clicked will bring you a nautilus file browser window.
1) ALT+F2
2) enter:
Code: Select all
gconf-editor

3) Go to Aps>>Nautilus>>Desktop and tick or untick check box's for:
computer_icon_visible [make sure you un-tick volumes_visible otherwise you will still see all your mounted paritions], documents_icon_visible, or trash_icon_visible.
Image

You can do a lot of damage within gconf-editor, so be careful. There are lots of little tweeks in there to play with also. Like confirmation of trash and empty trash - simple annoyance to some ;)

nstall this: http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/pool/feisty/ ... 9_i386.deb

64 bit: compile from one of these (yeah i know they're old but they work) http://www.dpb.org.uk/ubuntu

tar -xzvf /path/to/xwinwrap.tar.gz
sudo cp /path/to/xwinwrap /usr/bin

then pick a video, and type this xwinwrap -ni -o 0.6 -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -quiet movie.*** -loop 0

for 64 bit, you might have to type /usr/bin/xwinwrap .................................................................

but it's really good/cool eyecandy, you need to be able to play a fullscreen video in the background 100% of the time though,

Most of you when choosed to enjoy the curved awn in Ultimate Edition encountered an annoying bug in the arrangement of the icons on dock. The awn's applets' icons were standing higher than the others in an asimetric misalinement. First I deactivated all the awn's applets from the awn-manager and seemd to work like this. But I still didn't want to give up to some applets I like very much(like the stacks applet for example) so I keep looking forward for another issue,like a lab rat,more convenient to me:

first I unchecked the Show separator between launchers and tasks,

then I deactivated and reactivated again the Launcher/Taskmanager,because the whole awn just disappeared from the desktop.

I restarted the awn,

and surprise,now the awn was looking perfectly,just by a fortunated accident and luck I guess.The beginer's luck more likely.
