Just do it?

One day, I stumble across this. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/UxaTesting
I have been playing counterstrike (hehe cannot stop playing) and getting fps around 10 to 50
much better than my old 82835/855GM (5 to 40 fps)
10 fps! how to play properly? That why I had to spray...
My current card is
Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a02] (rev 03)
It is on a Core 2 Duo T6400 (2.0 GHz) Dell 1435 laptop
Hmmm... Keep getting pawned by bots...
Then after doing the UXA tweak...
it greatly improves graphics performance in Open GL mode
I am getting around (20 to 60 fps) Still poor but much better.
Besides that, I also found that Jaunty run much smoother.

This is how you do it,
1st go sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2nd then insert this

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Configured Video Device"
    # ...
    Option        "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

Into the xorg.conf
Don't forget to check

  lspci -nn | grep VGA

So that you can match your controller with the test report in the site.
Remember that this not stable and may cause problems
Other people find it causes corruption, leads to crashes, or locks up their xserver and prevents booting.
Happy testing.

Just do it?

Anbin and Ahlong linked

Hey there people,

Please click here to link to Anbin computer blog!
Anbin and I officially linked our blog together to share knowledge
These blogs are dedicated for computer knowledge


One guy could not achieve what two guy can!

Disable recent documents

Great News!
I had accepted Anbin to join my blog and I had joined his blog
Hope this will increase the knowledge we can share.

In Ubuntu there's a tab called recent document
Some people just don't like the recent document being show there
Because we don't want to tell people what we had just look into
So to disable it,
1. rm ~/.recently-used.xbel - This will remove the /home/username/.recently-used.xbel
2. touch ~/.recently-used.xbel - Recreate it
3. sudo chattr +i ~/.recently-used.xbel - This will lock the file permission

Then, clear the Recent Documents list
Now when you check Places/Recent Documents again, it should now be greyed.

If you do it correctly, it will be something like this.


It will be 0 Kb. To undo the permission use sudo chattr -i ~/.recently-used.xbel

XP is full with holes...

Some virus can even get pass some so called anti virus defences
Such as AVG, Avast... you know there's a virus trying to get in your computer
And you can't do anything...
I spend about 50 Mbyte for the anti-virus and its not doing anything

Most of the virus I deal with are brontok virus.
These virus are so irritating because they always try to conceal themselves
You will notice your folder option or hidden folder always disappear...
These virus are superhidden, you need to activate the superhidden to see them

...but you can't do it
There's always a second option. Use gpedit.msc
Where to find it - in your system32/gpedit.msc
What it can do for you
1. Alter Administrative templates
2. Running scripts or programs at startup/shutdown or user logon/logoff

This is far simple than running regedit. Hehe.

Group Policy editor

Administrative templates

Shutdown and Startup script

*one more way to escape virus problem - Don't even on your computer

Trash can bug

From 8.10 to 9.04 another long 6 month
From 2.76 to 2.75 another long disappointing 4 month
Luck had decided most of my life
As long I remember it had been twice I escaped (or maybe not?)

Well, talk about some serious stuff now...
There's a very strange phenomenon (weird) in Ubuntu 9.04
I thought it may be a mirage but...
When I deleted stuff from my desktop, the file disappeared... WOW
but my disk space still record about the file
And when I look in my trash can... THERE'S NOTHING!
woooooooooo GHOST FILE
Actually is just a small flaw in Ubuntu.

Solution:
1. Go /home/username/.local/share/trash. All your file is in the trash...
2. Delete it
3. Create a file at /home/username/.trash (if it's not there)
4. Create a shortcut of the .trash and put it at /home/username/.local/share/.
5. Try deleting your file now. It should went it your trash can.

No la not ghost file... It's just some mistake?

Finally, there's trash in my bin!! (so excited)

Ubuntu 9.04...What will Koala be?
