Spotify Anleitung der Installation für Ubuntu Es gibt die M�glichkeit Spotify ganz einfach �ber Firefox zu genie�en: https://play.spotify.com/ Die zweite Variante ist Spotify direkt zu installieren. So kann man z.B. Musik auch offline speichern und h�ren. Folgend beschreibe ich die Installation von Spotify f�r Ubuntu. Die Anleitung sollte dennoch f�r alle auf Ubuntu basierenden Distributionen funktionieren, wie z.B. Ubuntu selbst, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu und Mint. Solltet ihr andere Erfahrungen machen, k�nnt ihr mir gerne schreiben. Der einzige Unterschied zwischen den Distributionen ist, wo man das Terminal findet. Auf der Homepage von Spotify steht die Kurzfassung der Anleitung zur Installation. Da ich aber selbst wei� dass ein Linux-Umsteiger wenig damit anfangen kann wie man z.b. die sources.list bearbeitet, habe ich hier detailliert alles genau beschrieben. � � �  � � �   � � �   � � �   � � � ...

Sound Eingang Ausgang HDMI Ubuntu MATE 15 04

Sound Eingang Ausgang HDMI Ubuntu MATE 15 04 Oft gibt es Sound-Probleme unter Ubuntu MATE aber das liegt oft nicht am Treiber sondern an den Einstellungen. Ubuntu w�hlt immer die beste Quelle f�r die Sound-Ausgabe aus. Wer also ein HDMI-Kabel am Rechner hat, der wird auch seinen Sound �ber den HDMI-Port erhalten (wollen die meisten ja gar nicht). Ich will euch zeigen, wie Ihr den Audio-Eingang und Ausgang steuern k�nnt.  Mit der linken Maustaste k�nnt Ihr die Lautst�rke anpassen (k�nnt auch das Mausrad verwenden).  Per Rechtsklick k�nnt Ihr die Audio-Einstellungen aufurufen.  Hier findet Ihr unter Ausgabe alle Ger�te, welche Sound ausgeben k�nnen (in diesem Fall wird nur ein Ger�t angezeigt). W�re ein HDMI-Kabel am Rechner angeschlossen, dann w�ren es zwei Ger�te. Deshalb empfehle ich euch einfach eine Audio-Datei abzuspielen und hin und her zu wechseln, da auch oft der kleine Lautsprecher im Rechner angezeigt wird und viele sich wundern "wie zum Teufel geht das?". ...

Solution Ubuntu 10 04 minimize maximize and close button to right One of the more controversial changes in the Ubuntu 10.04 is the Mac OS-inspired change to have window buttons on the left side. We�ll show you how to move the buttons back to the right. Before While the change may or may not persist through to the April 29 release of Ubuntu 10.04, in the beta version the maximize, minimize, and close buttons appear in the top left of a window. How to move the window buttons The window button locations are dictated by a configuration file. We�ll use the graphical program gconf-editor to change this configuration file.

Startup Manager A Utility to Edit GRUB Boot loader related Options Easily in Ubuntu

Image
Startup Manager A Utility to Edit GRUB Boot loader related Options Easily in Ubuntu Startup-Manager is a graphical tool thats written in the GTK+ toolkit which was developed for letting the users of Debian GNU/Linux OS to easily edit few "boot-related" options such as GRUB menu delay, Splash screen, other security related settings, etc. But since Ubuntu is based on the awesome Debian ;-), SturtupManager can also be installed and used to edit few of those settings in Ubuntu as well. The reason I said, "few of those settings" is because, as you can see with the below screenshots, the first one is the original application image running in Debian with lots of settings (tabs) but the second one is from my Ubuntu 11.04 Laptop and has only two tabs thus fewer options than in Debian. Its running in Debian As you can see, somewhat "reduced" under Ubuntu... But still, even though its a bit "restricted" under Ubuntu, if you want to do things like... *...
