NOTE: this only works for Gnome 2. For Gnome 3, see an update here… What it is: a thumbnail is the little image that Nautilus (the file manager of Gnome) shows to represent the file. Most of file types has a standard thumbnailer, and you see a representation of the file such as a […] 
Just found out that the task of adding a new application for a new file-type on gnome (so that I can run it by double click, or from the mail client on an attachment, is easier than I suspected. The problem: my bank send me my account information in files that are managed by an […] 
I am quite a geek in a lot of thing, but I resisted, till now, to leave my papery books and do the jump at the new technology. I have tons of book on the shelves of my home (and in my mother’s house, and in the office, and in boxes rotting away… they’re just […] 
La domenica, ultimamente, è diventato il giorno classico per preparare una piccola paella di pesce, piatto festivo e (più o meno) facile da fare, anche se il famoso commento spagnolo secondo il quale “si fa sola” non è del tutto corretto.

If you, like me, have problems with multimedia under Ubuntu (Karmic at least), try these little tricks before anything. I hope they will help. First of all, take a look medibuntu repositories. That alone solves a lot of problems.And if are upgrading from old versions of Linux, clean up the audio configuration. After that, try […] I have finally (thanks to a kind of flu, really) found the time to update, quite rewrite, my gksyn plugin, a little gkrellm applet to control the touchpad present in most laptop. In the meantime, I discovered and re-discovered a couple of really nasty details when programming in Unix environment, like the buffering of the […] I have a laptop (a Toshiba one, a 13″ nice thing) which is running more or less happily with Ubuntu Karmic. Lot of good things but some very annoying behaviour sometime. One of them is the fact that it resumes automatically when opening the lid and the AC plug is in. I don’t like it. […] |
