I realised that Ubuntu (mine is 10.04) has a system wide Socks Proxy setting while kubuntu dont. It is a simple setting from Proxy Server menu. Write your proxy host and port number and apply it to system-wide. In my case because I do a dynamic ssh port forwarding to my localhost at some port, I wrote at Socks server part "localhost" and my forwarded port number.

To be able to access a samba share or printer from Windows Vista, it is not enough just share it on the linux side. One needs to make sudo smbpasswd -a username where username is the username on the vista side. And give him the password of his Vista account.

Recently installed Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 to a machine and tried to use UBuntu One. It is by default installed.But couldnt make the machine connect to Ubuntu One account. Here is the solution u1sync --authorize.

Recently installed php 5.2.10 to Openbsd 4.6. Tried to execute a simple script with failure. Then recognised that the script should begin with <?php not with <?. :)

Yes 10.04 Lucid Lynx didnt recognise my sata hard disk.So the install failed. A quick search revealed that after starting up the live cd and getting live ubuntu system, one needs to "sudo apt-get remove dmraid" to be executed to finally make the installer recognise the hard drive.
