Xubuntu: Open Whisker Menu with the Windows key
Apr 5, 2014
Menu: Settings Manager -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts:
_xfce4-popup-whiskermenu_ and click the Windows Key (_Super_L_) How do I completely remove One Ubuntu?
Apr 5, 2014
I'll miss Ubuntu One. It was my unique cloud client. But it's time to move forward and if you have the Ubuntu One client installed you can remove with these commands (source):
sudo killall ubuntuone-login ubuntuone-preferences ubuntuone-syncdaemon mv ~/Ubuntu\ One/ ~/UbuntuOld rm -rf ~/.local/share/ubuntuone/ rm -rf ~/.cache/ubuntuone/ rm -rf ~/.config/ubuntu/ rm -rf ~/.config/ubuntuone/ sudo apt-get purge ubuntuone-* python-ubuntuone-storage* -y
RIP u1! FYI some alternatives with Ubuntu clients: Dropbox, Copy, Wuala, Bitcasa, Hubic or your Owncloud.

+ info: PutoLinux & Ubuntu España. Install transmission daemon in Ubuntu Server and avoid write permission problems
Feb 24, 2014
The tip: Change the user who runs the daemon for your user ;)
sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon ``` /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stopsudo nano /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon # Change USER=your_login_user sudo nano /etc/default/transmission-daemon # Set CONFIG_DIR="/home/username/.config/transmission-daemon" transmission-daemon -f # Ctrl+C ````` `` /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop`` sudo cp /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json sudo chown your_user:`````your_user` ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
nano ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json``
Here, I'll set my parameters:
`"download-dir”
“download-queue-size”: 2,
“incomplete-dir”
“incomplete-dir-enabled”: true,
“rpc-password”
“rpc-whitelist”: “...",
“rpc-whitelist-enabled”: true,
“umask”: 2,
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start
sudo update-rc.
