Micromax 352g modem in Ubuntu 12.10

In one of my previous blog I have described how to configure Ubuntu 12.04 to use Micromax 352g Usb modem. But unfortunately this method is not working Ubuntu 12.10. But I have found another way to make same usb modem work in Ubuntu 12.10.



First open terminal and run the following command:

 lsusb

The out put will look something like this.



Noter here the device ID for your modem. For my case it is 1c9e:9605 from OMEGA TECHNOLOGY.
Now create a configuration file with above vendor and product id using following command:

 sudo gedit /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e:9605

And add the following line:

 DefaultVendor = 0x1c9e
DefaultProduct = 0x9605
TargetVendor = 0x1c9e
TargetProduct = 0x9605
MessageContent="55534243123456788000000080000606f50402527000000000000000000000"

Save and exit to terminal. Now Run the following command:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605 
usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e\:9605

If commands run without any error, you should see your connection int the network indicator (Just click on it and see name of your mobile broad band is enlisted). You can click on the name and it will connect.
Now if you want a permanent solution of the above problem, so that you don't want to run the above commands in every session you can add the bellow mention lines the /etc/rc.local file. So the command will be automatically execute at the startup.

 sleep 10
 modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605
 usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e\:9605
 sleep 20
 nmcli nm wwan on
 sleep 10
 nmcli con up id "your connection name here"

Hope this will solve your problem.

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

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 ...

Mozilla Thunderbird is one of the best email client available for Windows, Linux and Mac. Here I will tell how to send email in background in Thunderbird, so that when you send any mail that irritating "sending email" popup will not come out in front of you. First go to Preferences window: In windows: tools>options In linux: Edit>preferences Now go to Advance tab > General   and click on Config Editor Button, When asked click on I'll be careful, I promise button.  Then search for mailnews.sendinBackground and then select it. Then right click and toggle it to true. Now Thunderbird should send your email in background. You may need to restart the Thunderbird. Cheers A.Paul
