Ubuntu (Edgy) Starter Guide

http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy

Adding startup service

To ensure a service which exists in /etc/init.d is run on startup, simply run:

sudo update-rc.d <service> defaults

Enabling Printing

  1. /bin/chmod 06555 /usr/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lprm
  2. /sbin/chkconfig lpd on

Hardware

Logitech MX-1000

See http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65471

Although this document describes the steps for a USB mouse, this also works when connected to the PS2 port. Note, however, that a Logitech MX-1000 forward and back keys are 8 and 9, and xvkbd is located in /usr/bin rather than /usr/X11R6/bin. In addition, as stated in the text, part 1.4 is unnecessary.


Convert m4a to mp3

ffmpeg -ab <bitrate in kb/s> -i <inputfile> <outputfile>

Note: the error output buffer too small can be ignored.


Changing default ALSA soundcard

asoundconf list
asoundconf set-default-card <cardname>
