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.

If you ever need to make a time lapse video of a series of jpeg images, try this:
mencoder -ovc copy -mf w=320:h=240:fps=6:type=jpg 'mf://*.jpg' -o time_lapse-test.avi
I used a bunch of small webcam images made with motion and it worked like a charm.

For some reason Nautilus refuses to connect to the secure webdav service of my internet provider. Fusedav to the rescue!
sudo apt-get install fusedav
fusedav https://server.nl/directory /home/user/dav
Also see http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/fusedav/ for more information on fusedav.
