Slim is a lightweight graphical login manager, for those who don’t know it’s something like GDM and KDM, but a bit less stressing for your hardware, very simple, minimal, easily customizable and skinnable. Also slim can be used with any Desktop Environment and got no heavy dependancies. Fluxbox, well I hope you all have at least heard something about it, is a great lightweight window manager, that combined with a good filemanager (I prefer pcmanfm), its own panel, a light dock (using

After some testing from me and some users I released the sh404 version of my Google news Sitemap Generator for Joomla using Sh404. Even if I prefer OpenSef plugin, lots of people use sh404 for managing url rewrite on Joomla, as it is currently on development. You can find downloads and some instructions on the dedicated page. The script is available for both 1.0.x and 1.5.x versions, however it was tested the most on the newer Joomla.

Here’s how to get a personalized and satisfactory completion on Gentoo installations.. Fisrt of all you need an use flag set widely in your system so that every software you are going to emerge (or re-emerge) if is capable will be added to your completition choices. To do so just open our magic make.conf with your favourite editor (I use vim, you can use emacs, nano, pico…i don’t really care about wars) # vim /etc/make.conf then find the USE variable and add inside it the strin

Just a quick tip to monitor download status and problems while using Amule. On Gnome, the program notify is used to show notifications on the desktop, for example evolution uses it for new messages alerts. Amule does not support it natively but on its configuration panel it is possible to specify a custom command to launch on some events. For example, as you can see from below screenshots I set to launch the command notify-send "Download Completato - %FILE" when a Download finshes. You can set o

Have you ever dreamed about an andvanced IA (I’m ironic) who could understand what browser you opened and open all the links you click on your DE in THAT browser and not in the default one? Well this is asdGB (Automatically set default Gnome browser), a simple bash script which runs in background, checks for opened browsers and sets the default handler for http / https links on the one you prefer. Obviously if you got only one browser opened it will set that one as default. This means memo

I noticed that even upgrading to latest version of autounmask (0.21 on my portage tree) I got the same loop bug of the previous versions. Exactly like for the previous version the problem regards an infinite loop generating when unmasking a package and it’s caused by not understanding the PortageXS function getArch(). To avoid the problem and using this wonderful tool without PortageXS it’s possible to manually set the arch on the bin file. Just open it with your favorite editor as R

A quick pearl to spread an old news about Epiphany to other browser’s users: with Epiphany, when you open a new tab from a link (middle click or right click + open in a new tab) the browser keeps the history of the parent tab!!! Yes, for those who know that’s probably not a big deal, however I like this feature so much I needed to spread! Use Epiphany! You can go back in a just opened tab!

Reading Federico‘s article about the Remember the Milk AIR client get me more interested on RTM ( still Remember the Milk, not Read The Manual ) and curious about the possibilities offered by this Service. Looking around the net I found that this guy created a nice integration beetween RTM and Gnome DE, using the Deskbar Applet. I’m not a Deskbar fan, I thinks it’s quite heavy on loading and I always preferred not adding it to my panel, however I decided to use it only for RTM
