Tweaking Privacy Settings in Ubuntu 13.04

ubuntucat — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:28:28 +0000

By default, when you do searches in Ubuntu, you'll see online results (from Amazon, as of Ubuntu 13.04—in future versions they may include other online results), too. Some people don't like this. Fortunately, you can turn this behavior off.

Search for Privacy. Select the real result at the top (not the web results below it).

You'll see Include online search results as On.

Click it to turn it Off.

Installing software in Ubuntu 13.04

ubuntucat — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:13:04 +0000

The best way for new users to install software in Ubuntu is using the Ubuntu Software Center. This is a similar process to using Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store to install applications—one central location to manager your applications.

First, find the Ubuntu Software Center icon, which will oddly have an A on it instead of something indicative of the name Ubuntu Software Center. Click it to launch.

Once it's launched, you can search in to the top-right corner for part of the name of the application you're looking to install. In this example, I'm trying to install ubuntu-restricted-extras.

Once you've found what you want, click Install.

Enter your password when prompted.

Wait for the installation packages to download and install.

If you notice a gray question mark appear on the bottom-left corner, you may have to click it to take care of a dialogue (e.g., agreeing to some terms of use).

When you see the green check mark on the application package's name, it's all done installing!

Installing proprietary drivers on Ubuntu 13.04

ubuntucat — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 01:06:03 +0000

Okay, I'm silly and didn't even remember my old tutorial. The additional drivers is part of Software Sources. More details in the old tutorial for Ubuntu 12.10.

For a lot of hardware drivers, Ubuntu will just automatically recognize what you have and have it all set up for you. Some proprietary drivers you may have to get working post-install.

There's a tool for this that in Ubuntu 13.04, unfortunately, through the graphical user interface (GUI) is a bit clunky to get up and running.

It also requires an active internet connection, so if the proprietary driver you need is for a Broadcom wireless card, you will need a wired connection in order for this to work.

From the sidebar, find the icon for the Ubuntu Software Center, and click to launch it.

Once the Ubuntu Software Center launches, search for additional driver in the search box at the top-right corner.

Additional Drivers should show up as a search result.

Click on More Info.

Then click Use This Source.

Enter your password.

Click Install.

Enter your password again.

You'll see that the installation is in progress.

When the installation of the Additional Drivers tool finishes, you'll see this.

The Additional Drivers icon will show up in the side bar. Click it to launch the application.

Find the driver you want to install, and then click Activate.

Enter your password when prompted.

Wait for the driver to download.

When it's finished installing, you may get a message saying the driver won't be useful until you reboot. You may not find this to be the case (e.g., your wireless connection may work without reboot), but you may actually have to reboot, depending on your situation.

Installing Ubuntu 13.04

ubuntucat — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:13:21 +0000

Note:If you are planning to install Ubuntu on a Windows-preinstalled computer built after 2010, please read this first.

If you're installing Ubuntu on a Mac, read this

After you have gotten Ubuntu and made a bootable USB from it, you're ready to install Ubuntu!

If you are using a standard Windows or build-your-own PC, there should be a special key you press to boot via USB or CD/DVD. If you don't know what that is, search for your model computer.

If it's booted up correctly, you should see this mostly dark screen appear. You can just wait or, if you want special boot options, you can press any key during this screen to get those special boot options to appear.

You should get an option to either Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu. I would highly recommend selecting the Try Ubuntu option.

This will allow you to try out Ubuntu without affecting your current Windows installation (assuming you're coming from Windows, as most new Ubuntu uses are).

Once the desktop has loaded up, if you decide you like Ubuntu enough to install it, double-click the Install Ubuntu 13.04 icon to start the installation process.

Select your language and then click Continue.

If Ubuntu recognizes your internet connection (should definitely for a wired connection, might for your wireless), you can choose to Download updates while installing and Install this third-party software.

If you don't know who Richard Stallman is or what the difference is between open source and proprietary software is, you most likely want to select that second option. It will require a working internet connection, though.

If Windows is already on your computer, you'll then be presented with three options

Install Ubuntu next to Windows
Replace Windows with Ubuntu
Do something else

If you are reading this guide, most likely you'll want to install Ubuntu next to Windows.

Before you do this, make sure your Windows installation is fully backed up. In the eight years I've been using and installing Ubuntu, I've never had a dual-boot corrupt or destroy the Windows partition, but this highly unlikely event still could occur. So back up! You should be backing up any way.

Once you've chosen to install Ubuntu alongside Windows as a dual-boot, you'll have the option to drag the division to the left or the right to allocate more space to Windows, more to Ubuntu, or about an even split for both.

After you decide on your changes, this is the real turning point. Once you click Continue here, the Ubuntu installer will begin resizing your existing Windows partition, make space for Ubuntu, and start installing Ubuntu.

Select your time zone.

Select your keyboard layout.

Fill out your first user's information.

Then you just wait for Ubuntu to finish installing. Depending on your computer's specifications, this can take anywhere between ten minutes and a half hour, usually closer to ten minutes.

When the installation is done, you'll have the option to reboot into your permanent Ubuntu installation or continue using the live session.

If you set up Ubuntu alongside Windows, when you reboot, you'll have the option to pick Windows or Ubuntu. The first time you boot into Windows, Windows may do a disk check. Let the disk check complete—don't skip it.

Pure Lubuntu 13.04

ubuntucat — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:35:46 +0000

These removal commands were created based on what Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc. packages were added to a default Lubuntu 13.04 installation. It's possible that the commands might remove some other packages you have since added to the default and want to keep. If that's the case, keep track of which packages those are and reinstall them. Theoretically, your settings should still be there. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your *buntu installation. If you're worried about breaking anything, do a full back up of your *buntu installation.

Pure Xubuntu 13.04

ubuntucat — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:31:23 +0000

These removal commands were created based on what Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc. packages were added to a default Xubuntu 13.04 installation. It's possible that the commands might remove some other packages you have since added to the default and want to keep. If that's the case, keep track of which packages those are and reinstall them. Theoretically, your settings should still be there. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your *buntu installation. If you're worried about breaking anything, do a full back up of your *buntu installation.

Remove Ubuntu
Paste this command into the terminal.

Remove Kubuntu

Pure Kubuntu 13.04

ubuntucat — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:28:05 +0000

These removal commands were created based on what Ubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. packages were added to a default Kubuntu 13.04 installation. It's possible that the commands might remove some other packages you have since added to the default and want to keep. If that's the case, keep track of which packages those are and reinstall them. Theoretically, your settings should still be there. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your *buntu installation. If you're worried about breaking anything, do a full back up of your *buntu installation.

Remove Ubuntu
Paste this command into the terminal.

Remove Xubuntu

Pure Ubuntu 13.04

ubuntucat — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:17:49 +0000

These removal commands were created based on what Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. packages were added to a default Ubuntu 13.04 installation. It's possible that the commands might remove some other packages you have since added to the default and want to keep. If that's the case, keep track of which packages those are and reinstall them. Theoretically, your settings should still be there. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your *buntu installation. If you're worried about breaking anything, do a full back up of your *buntu installation.

Do non-Nexus, non-rooted Android users really have no choice?

ubuntucat — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:39:34 +0000

I get where the ACLU is coming from, but I don't know if I agree that the customers didn't know what they were getting into and now have no recourse: ACLU Seeks Carrier Smackdown Over Android Updates

Maybe back in 2009 or 2010, they could have made a good case. Back then, consumers didn't know that most Android devices wouldn't get timely updates. By now (it's 2013), it's well established that your Android phone will probably not get a timely update unless it is either a Nexus phone or rooted.

Consumers, who now know that non-Nexus, non-rooted Android phones will either A) never get updated or B) get updates extremely late (months or years later) really have no excuse. If they want security updates, they should get a Nexus phone, learn how to root their Android phones, or buy another non-Android phone (e.g., iPhone or Windows phone).

The good news is the now-Google-owned Motorola will soon begin releases vanilla Android devices. Once HTC, Samsung, and LG see Motorola and Nexus phones flying off the shelves, they'll have to either start releasing updates in a more timely fashion... or just install vanilla Android with a different default theme. Vanilla Android is the way to go, people. Vote with your wallets!

Solution to Chromebook won’t wake from sleep problem

ubuntucat — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 04:13:22 +0000

Symptoms
I've greatly enjoyed the new Samsung Chromebook with ChromeOS. The one huge problem I've encountered is it sometimes not waking from sleep. I'd open it and the power light would be on, but the screen would be dead. The only workaround was to force a shutdown and then boot up again. Very annoying.

Dead ends
I did a bit of Google searching and came across some threads that led to nowhere:
Series 3 (ARM) Black screen of near death
New Samsung chromebook not waking up
Does the Chromebook suffer from the sleep of death?
My Chrome book did not wake up when I opened the lid this morning

No real solutions in any of those threads. I thought an update might fix it, so I switched to the beta channel. No updates. I thought perhaps I'd screwed up some setting, so I did a factory reset. Didn't work. Same problem.

Real solution
I don't know how I didn't notice this before, but my time zone was incorrect. I went into my user settings, changed the time zone to the correct time—I haven't had a resume-from-sleep problem since!

I hope this information helps others experiencing this problem.
