Since many years I use midnight commander (mc) on the command line as a file manager and editor. The latest versions of Ubuntu Desktop capture the F10 function key preventing the use of F10 to close midnight commander. You have to use the mouse to close midnight commander which kinda defeats the purpose of using the command line. Here is how I changed the default behavior of F10:
With gconf-editor delete or change the following key to something other then F10: /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/panel_first_menu

Always wanted to be a dj at your own online radio station? Well, spend 15 minutes of your time and start broadcasting. It's really that easy.
I will show you how to build an online streaming server with icecast2 running on ubuntu 10.04. And I will be using ezstream to feed a mp3 playlist to the server.

Connecting to the webdav server of my provider Ziggo is easy. Just use Ubuntu's 'connect to server' function. As you can see from the screenshot you need the following user data:
- Server name: homedrive.ziggo.nl
- Directory: user @ home.nl
- User name: user @ home.nl
It is recommended that you create a bookmark (here: Homedrive). This way you can click the bookmark in Nautilus and enter the given directory.

There are many, many drupal modules out there. Here are some of the most useful modules to add to your standard drupal installation. Many of these modules are also used by sites in the Drupal success stories section.
Optional core modules
- Search: Make your site searchable.
- Contact: Prevent exposing e-mail addresses and use a contact form instead.

Some time ago I wrote about using fusedav to connect to a webdav server. For some reason I could only read from the server. Writing always resulted in an error.
Today I used davfs2 for the first time and writing is working like a charm. Configuration is a little bit of work however. First I installed davfs2 via apt-get, then I ran dpkg-reconfigure to make davfs2 run suid as root. The last step involved an entry in /etc/fstab and creating a directory in /media. Also make sure you are a member of the davfs2 group.
sudo apt-get install davfs2
