To install language from terminal you have to first know the code for the language (for example bn is code for Bengali and hi is the code for Hindi). Now first install the basic language packages for your desktop using the following code: sudo apt-get install language-pack-[cod] language-pack-gnome-[cod] language-pack-[cod]-base language-pack-gnome-[cod]-base It is not still done, because every other software may have its won language pack. To know which more package you have to install more you can use the following command check-language-support -l [cod] And then install those packages also. Example: Suppose you want to install language pack for Bengali, so first run the command sudo apt-get install language-pack-bn language-pack-gnome-bn language-pack-bn-base language-pack-gnome-bn-base Then run check-language-support -l bn And then from list install language packs for all applications.

In Windows and Ubuntu dual boot machine you may some time find that the time are different. This is because windows treat BIOS clock time as local time while Ubuntu treat BIOS clock time as GMT. So Windows display same time as BIOS clock but Ubuntu add/subtract time difference from GMT and show. For example Indian standard time is +5:30 hour ahead of GMT. Ubuntu will add 5:30 hour with BIOS clock and show. So there will be always difference in Windows time and Ubuntu time. To solve it just run the following command  sudo gedit /etc/default/rcS and find the portion which says "UTC=yes" and chance it to "UTC=no"  (Without quotes)   Hope this will solve the problem.   Cheers APaul Source: http://ubuntuguide.net/fix-different-time-clock-between-windows-and-ubuntu

Gedit by default show colour highlighting for the gnuplot code. But we can easily make it. We just have to download the language definition file and copy to the proper folder. The language definition file is a .lang file. You can download the gnuplot language definition from the following linke. https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSourceView/LanguageDefinitions Download the file and copy the file to the folder /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ . You can use the following command $ sudo cp /your/download/location/gnuplot.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/  Now if you open any gnuplot code file with gedit you can see all the colours. But there is a problem, it will show colour highlight only for those file having extension .plt , but gnuplot can have extension .gp also. So to add .gp also in colour highlighting you have to add one line in the .lang file. If you check the file carefully you can see that there is a protion like this. <language id= "gnu...

After Updating to Ubuntu 14.04 I have noticed that chromium is showing error message that Flash Player is not installed, even though it is installed and Firefox is working properly with this. Reason for this problem The reason behind this problem is, till now chromium used Netscape Plugin API for flashplayer support. But starting from Ubuntu 14.04 chromium stopped using Netscape Plugin API. Hence there will be a issue. Solution To solve this issue we will use pepper flash player. This is a stable version of flash player from google. There is a paper flashplayer available in Ubuntu repo, which will download and extract flashplayer and set up fro Chromium. To install this flash player run the following command in the terminal. sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install Now restart chromium browser, chromium will now play flashplayer properly. Hope this will be helpful for you. Cheers A.Paul

I generally check departmental mail through IMAP using Thunderbird or using web interface using SquirrelMail . But some time, speciall when I am using someone else's computer, I check mail through pine at the remote server. But from few days I have seen that when ever I am checking any mail using pine, the mails are disappearing from the IMAP or from web interface. So when I tried to find out the reason behind this I have learned that pine moving all mail from /var/spool/mail/$USER to /home/$USER/mbox . All other client are actually looking mail in the previous folder.    You can prevent this by making the following changes to the .pinerc file. Add the following line at the end of the file.  disable-these-drivers=mbox Most probably the above line without mbox may exist some where at the file, just do a search to find out where it is and change the value as above. Now pine will not move any mail but the old mail that already moved will be in the mobox folder so you will not see ...
