I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 yesterday, it seems cool except being hard to personalize the GUI.

Using Text Mode Location Bar was disabled like the previous releases but i was able to enable it from preferences. Natty has no option for that. By knowing that in linux there is always an alternative way to solve such problems i have started search the solution for this and i have end up with the following command which permanently enables the text mode location bar for nautilus:

$ gconftool-2 --type=Boolean --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry true

The command changes /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry boolean parameter to be true where nautilus checks whether to always use the location bar in text mode. It’s also possible to switch location bar to text mode for the instance with the shortcut CTRL+L but when the directory changes it returns to its default.

I was uncomfortable with the default configuration but if somehow someone gets lock with text mode location bar and don’t like it to be so the parameter could be set to false with the following command:

$ gconftool-2 --type=Boolean --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry false

Today i needed to emulate the windows Xp, because i needed to use Internet Explorer 6.

I know using explorer 6 stupid but every computer not smart as i am or as the majority. We need to test our project on Ä°nternet Explorer 6. I don’t like Internet Explorer (all the versions), even i don’t like Windows. I did like it someday, but it was really long time (about 9 years) ago.

After saying these all, if i said installing windows xp instead of my beautiful Linux distribution, you could easily say stupid to me. Firstly, i wanted to use Vmware-server but i couldn’t find any installation candidate at repositories. Then i started to download from its site. But i found out there is an alternative virtual machine tool called VirtualBox.

I easily installed from my distro’s add & remove programs, then i installed windows xp from its iso file. It was even faster than installation to real machine. Here is a screenshot :

Türkçesi :

Bugün internet explorerı kullanmam gerektiği için, windows xp yi linux üzerinde emülatörle çalıştırmam gerekti.

İnternet explorer 6 ya ihtiyaç duymanın salakça olduğunu biliyorum ama herkesin benim ve çoğunluk kadar zeki değil. Projemizi internet explorerda test etmemiz gerekiyordu. İnternet explorerı sevmiyorum, hatta windowsuda sevmiyorum. Bir zamanlar severdim ama bayağı bir önceydi bu (yaklaşık 9 yıl önceydi).

EÄŸer bunca ÅŸeyi söyledikten sonra benim güzel linux dağıtımımın yerine windows xp yi kurduÄŸumu söyleseydim, benim hakkımda kolayca salak diyebilirdiniz. Öncelikle Vmware-server’ı kurmak istedim ama depolarda kurmaya aday bir paket bulamadım. Ardından sitesinden indirmeye baÅŸladım. Fakat Virtualbox diye alternatif bir araç olduÄŸunu öğrendim.

Kolayca dağıtımımın program ekleme & kaldırma programından kurdum ve windows xp’yi iso dosyasından kurdum. BoÅŸ bilgisayara kurmaktan bile hızlı kurdu. Ekran görüntümüzde yukarıda…

Belçikada dedikleri bir garip ülke, interneti bile limitli , 12gb limit dayanmıyo ki … Bir gün daha dayansan ya, Ubuntu Alfa user olalım
