Connecting Bluetooth Headset in Ubuntu

Now a days bluetooth is one of the most common device that people use to listen music, or even talk with some one in phone or in laptop. Most of the recent laptop comes with build in bluetooth adopter. It is pretty easy to connect bluetooth device with head set. It is also very easy to connect bluetooth device with laptop having OS windows XP or Windows vista. But in windows 7 and in any version of Ubuntu it is very difficult.
Actually it is not very difficult to pairing this device with either in Windows 7 or in Ubuntu. But in Windows 7 there is no option to connect the device. So it is bit automatic kind of thing depending on the last connection. if it is not connecting to windows 7 you have to pair it again with the laptop and then you can listen sound through it.
But in Ubuntu the problem is you can pair it and even connect it but you will not listen any audio through your headset. That is because Ubuntu can not redirect audio to your head set. You can solve this problem using following way.
First install Blueman, a graphical bluetooth management system. Now pair your headset. Now right click on the headset icon and chose audio sink. It will connect automatically. Now go to preference > sound > go to hardware tab > here you can see your device > select it and select "High Fidelity playback (A2DP)" > then go to output tab > silect your device. Now you should hear audio through your device.
Hope you can now use your bluetooth head set with Ubuntu.
Cheers

Changing caption width in latex

In this post I will discuss how to change the width of the figure caption. You can use the same technique to change the width of the other caption (like table caption). Here I am using the caption package. In caption package you can specify the width while loading the package or latter using \captionsetup command. Syntax of the both command are as following \usepackage[<option>]{caption} and command for captionsetup is \captionsetup[<float type>]{<option>} In the <option> we can use width=0.8\textwidth to specify width of the caption. If we specify that in the time of loading (i.e. when using with \usepackage command) it will affect all the float (like figure, table) but if you specify it in command \usepackage then you can specify float type. Then the specific float type will only be effected. This way you can specify two different width for different float. You can also specify other kind of formatting (like italic text) usi

Subtitle in latex

Image
There is no direct command to define subtitle in latex. But you can define the \subtitle command using titling package. To do this just insert the following code in the preamble of the latex file. \usepackage{titling} \newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{%   \posttitle{%     \par\end{center}     \begin{center}\large#1\end{center}     \vskip0.5em}% } And then you can define subtitle using the following command. \subtitle{Subtitle Here} This will show the subtitle bellow your title when you use \maketitle command. Minimum working example Code \documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{titling} \newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{% \posttitle{% \par\end{center} \begin{center}\large#1\end{center} \vskip0.1em}}% \title{This is the title of the document} \subtitle{This is subtitle} \author{Apurba Paul} \date{January 08, 2013} \begin{document} \maketitle Body of the document. \lipsum[1] \end{document} Output

Placing float (table or figure) at the top of the page in otherwise empty page in LaTeX

In latex if a table is going to any empty page (page with only that table and no other text), the table is always aligned vertically centre. And that does not look good always. Even the float place holder like [t] or [ht] or [t!] kind of things does not work. But there is a work around, just paste the following code at the preamble of the document (before \begin{document} ); \makeatletter \setlength\@fptop{0\p@} \makeatother Hope this will solve the problem. Cheers APaul
