This tip is nothing new, and seems to have been featured on dozens of sites recently, but there seems to be a misunderstanding… this mechanism will not turn off Aero or the compositing engine, it simply disables the transparency.

Manually Enable/Disable Aero Transparency

You can achieve the same result by right-clicking on the Desktop and choosing Personalize and then “Window Color and Appearance”

You should see the “Enable transparency” checkbox in this screen, which works immediately.

Create Aero Transparency Shortcut

Right-click anywhere and choose New \ Shortcut, and then enter in one of the following into the Location box to create the new shortcut.

Turn Aero Transparency Off

rundll32.exe dwmApi #104

Turn Aero Transparency On

rundll32.exe dwmApi #102

For purposes of illustration, I’ve got the same screenshot with Aero transparency turned on and off… but I really am just trying to show off the fun Mario wallpaper.

With Aero Transparency On:

And with Aero Transparency Off:

Enjoy!

Record Using VLC

You won’t see the record button in the default view so we need to make it available in the control panel by going to View and selecting Advanced Controls.

Now you can see the Record button along with a couple other handy controls like snapshot and looping.

Now when you start up a DVD or other video simply click on the record button and hit is a second time to end the recording.

While it is recording notice that the record button will be blue.

The recorded video is in MPEG format and stored them in the Documents folder labeled as VLC Record with the date and time.

This is a great way to save entire movies or specific scenes you want to watch later on your hard drive.

Of course VLC won’t burn the recorded MPEG file to DVD but you can certainly use other programs for that.  This is a much different process than “ripping” and you will need to play the video while it records.

I understand that many of you don’t want to use the command line in Linux (or in any operating system, for that matter). But the truth is, to be a good administrator, you have to know the command line. Why? Well, with Windows there are times when the command line is the only thing that can save your skin. With Linux, the command line is vast, reliable, flexible, fast … I could go on and on.

And of the 2119 possible commands from the /usr/bin directory (in Mandriva Spring 2008) and the 388 possible commands from /usr/sbin/, a few are indispensable. Here are 10 of them that might make your Linux admin life — or your introduction to Linux — a whole lot simpler.

I could make this easy and go with the most used commands (cd, ls, rm) but instead, I am going to go with the most useful commands, and I’ll keep it as distribution-neutral as I can.

#1 top
I figured it was fitting to put the top command at the top. Although top is actually responsible for listing currently running tasks, it is also the first command Linux users turn to when they need to know what is using their memory (or even how much memory a system has). I often leave the top tool running on my desktop so I can keep track of what is going on at all times. Sometimes, I will even open up a terminal (usually aterm), place the window where I want it, and then hide the border of the window. Without a border, the terminal can’t be moved, so I always have quick access to the information I need.

Top is a real-time reporting system, so as a process changes, it will immediately be reflected in the terminal window. Top does have some helpful arguments (such as the -p argument, which will have top monitor only user-specified PIDs), but running default, top will give you all the information you need on running tasks.

#2 ln
To many administrators, links are an invaluable tool that not only make users lives simpler, but also drastically reduce disk space usage. If you are unaware of how links can help you, let me pose this simple scenario: you have a number of users who have to access a large directory (filled with large files) on a drive throughout the day. The users are all on the same system, and you don’t want to have to copy the entire directory to each user’s ~/ directory. Instead, just create a link in each user’s ~/ directory to the target. You won’t consume space, and the users will have quick access. Of course when spanning drives, you will have to use symlinks. Another outstanding use for links is linking various directories to the Apache doc root directory. Not only can this save space, it’s often advantageous from a security standpoint.

#3 tar/zip/gzip
Tar, zip and gzip are archival/compression tools that make your administrator life far easier. I bundle these together because the tools can handle similar tasks yet do so with distinct differences (just not different enough to warrant their own entry in this article). Without these tools, installing from source would be less than easy. Without tar/zip/gzip, creating backups would require more space than you might often have.

One of the least used (but often most handy) features of these tools is the ability to extract single files from an archive. Now zip and gzip handle this more easily than tar. With tar, to extract a single file, you have to know the exact size of the file to be extracted. One area where tar/zip/gzip make administration simple is in creating shells scripts that automate a backup process. All three tools can be used with shell scripts and are, hands down, the best, most reliable backup tools you will find.

#4 nano, vi, emacs
I wasn’t about to place just one text editor here, for fear of stoking the fires of the “vi vs. emacs” war. To top that off, I figured it was best to throw my favourite editor — nano — into the mix. Many people would argue that these aren’t so much commands as they are full-blown applications. But all these tools are used within the command line, so I call them “commands”. Without a good text editor, administering a Linux machine can become problematic.

Imagine having to attempt to edit /etc/fstab or /etc/samba/smb.conf with OpenOffice. Some might say this shouldn’t be a problem, but OpenOffice tends to add hidden end-of-line characters to text files, which can really fubar a configuration file. For the editing of configuration or bash files, the only way to go is with an editor such as nano, vi or emacs.

#5 grep
Many people overlook this amazingly useful tool. Grep prints lines that match a user-specified pattern. Say, for instance, that you are looking at an httpd.conf file that’s more than 1000 lines long, and you are searching for the “AccessFileName .htaccess” entry. You could comb through that file only to come across the entry at line 429, or you can issue the command

grep -n "AccessFileName .htaccess" /etc/httpd/conf/http.conf

Upon issuing this command you will be returned "439:AccessFileName .htaccess" which tells you the entry you are looking for is on, surprise of all surprises, line 439.

#6 chmod
Permissions anyone? Linux administration and security would be a tough job without the help of chmod. Imagine not being able to make a shell script executable with chmod u+x filename. Of course, it’s not just about making a file executable. Many web tools require certain permissions before they will even install. To this end, the command chmod -R 666 DIRECTORY/ is one very misused command. Many new users, when faced with permissions issues trying to install an application, will jump immediately to 666 instead of figuring out exactly what permissions a directory or folder should have.

Even though this tool is critical for administration, it should be studied before jumping in blindly. Make sure you understand the ins and outs of chmod before using it at will. Remember w=write, r=read and x=execute. Also remember UGO or User, Group, and Other. UGO is a simple way to remember which permissions belong to whom. So permission rw- rw- rw- means User, Group, and Other all have read and write permissions. It is always best to keep Other highly restricted in their permissions.

#7 dmesg
Call me old-school if you want, but any time I plug a device into a Linux machine, the first thing I do is run the dmesg command. This command displays the messages from the kernel buffer. So, yeah, this is an important one. There is a lot of information to be garnered from the dmesg command. You can find out system architecture, gpu, network device, kernel boot options used, RAM totals, etc.

A nice trick is to pipe dmesg to tail to watch any message that comes to dmesg. To do this, issue the command dmesg | tail -f and the last few lines of dmesg will remain in your terminal. Every time a new entry arrives it will be at the bottom of the “tail”. Keep this window open when doing heavy duty system administration or debugging a system.

#8 kill/killall
One of the greatest benefits of Linux is its stability. But that stability doesn’t always apply to applications outside the kernel. Some applications can actually lock up. And when they do, you want to be able to get rid of them. The quickest way to get rid of locked up applications is with the kill/killall command. The difference between the two commands is that kill requires the PID (process ID number) and killall requires only the executable name.

Let’s say Firefox has locked up. To kill it with the kill command you would first need to locate the PID using the ps aux|grep firefox command. Once you got the PID, you would issue kill PID (where PID is the actual PID number). If you didn’t want to go through finding out the PID, you could issue the command killall firefox (although in some instances it will require killall firefox-bin). Of course, kill/killall do not apply (nor should apply) to daemons like Apache, Samba, etc.

#9 man
How many times have you seen “RTFM”? Many would say that acronym stands for “Read the Fine* Manual” (*This word is open for variation not suitable for publication). In my opinion, it stands for “Read the Fine Manpage”. Manpages are there for a reason — to help you understand how to use a command. Manpages are generally written with the same format, so once you gain an understanding of the format, you will be able to read (and understand) them all. And don’t underestimate the value of the manpage. Even if you can’t completely grasp the information given, you can always scroll down to find out what each command argument does. And the best part of using manpages is that when someone says “RTFM” you can say I have “RTFMd”.

#10 mount/umount
Without these two commands, using removable media or adding external drives wouldn’t happen. The mount/umount command is used to mount a drive (often labelled like /dev/sda) to a directory in the Linux file structure. Both mount and umount take advantage of the /etc/fstab file, which makes using mount/umount much easier. For instance, if there is an entry in the /etc/fstab file for /dev/sda1 that maps it to /data, that drive can be mounted with the command mount /data. Typically mount/umount must have root privileges (unless fstab has an entry allowing standard users to mount and unmount the device). You can also issue the mount command without arguments and you will see all drives that are currently mounted and where they’re mapped to (as well as the type of file system and the permissions).

Can’t live without ‘em
These 10 Linux commands make Linux administration possible. There are other helpful commands, as well as commands that are used a lot more often than these; but the commands outlined here fall into the necessity category. I don’t know about you, but I don’t go a day without using at least half of them. Do you have a Linux command or two that you can’t live without? If so, let us know.

Twitter Translate – Twitter Translate is a greasemonkey script that automatically translate any tweets made by twitter users in other languages, back to your language. The source is currently coded set to “en” for English, but you can set it to any code available. After installing user script ‘Twitter Translate’, the next time you receive a tweet in language other than your native language, you will notice the tweets automatically translated into native language. Beneath the tweet you will also notice a GT icon with the words “translated from …”. This is a link that will expand with the original language if you are interested. Note- to use this script, make sure you are using firefox browser and Greasemonkey installed on it.

Twitlator – It is a Greasemonkey script that translates the tweets automatically. To test it visit the public timeline and find a tweet in a language that is unknown to you. Click the translate! link to translate the tweets. Supports on Firefox 3 or later

TweeTrans It is a twitterbot, a mashup between Google Translate and Twitter. To use it simply use the @Reply feature of twitter. Send a reply to @tweetrans using the following format:

@tweetrans 2en your message here , where “2en” is the code for the language you want to translate to (en = English). Then add a space and enter your message after that. The message can consist of one word, a phrase, or a sentence. Alternatively, you can specify both languages if the language detector does not detect the correct “from language” (i.e., a “translate from” and a “translate to” language) using the following format: @tweetrans en2es your message here where “en2es” is the code for the language pair you want to translate from (en = English) and to (es = Spanish). Then add a space and enter your message after that.

TweeTrans twitter bot runs and sends you an @Reply with the translation in the appropriate language in every 5 minutes after you submit your request.

Twitrans – It allows twitter users to quickly translate any short message to a number of languages. Just send a Twitter message to @twitrans followed by the translation requested (For eg., English to Chinese would be en2zh). A test message I sent: “@twitrans en2zh Hi friends, Twitter is a fantastic service.” Once send you will receive a message – ““Human translation started. You will receive the translation here in a few minutes. Thank you!”. Translation requests are handled manually, so we can expect better results as compared to Google Translate or similar automated translation services.

Available language codes- Arabic-ar, Chinese-zh, Dutch-nl, English-en, French-fr, German-de, Greek-el, Hebrew-he, Hindi-hi, Italian-it, Japanese-jp, Portuguese-pt, Russian-ru, Spanish-es

Twanslate – It is yet another twitter translation service. To translate the multilingual feeds –

Follow @twanslate and then send direct message. For eg., “d twanslate fr Hi friends, Twitter is a fantastic service “. Supports es,fr,de,pt,ja,it,ru

Cybersoc have created a Twitter Tweet Translation Tool using Yahoo Pipes. Twieee is another free service that translates automatically from twitter. Twittervision, transtweet and good-translation are on going twitter translation projects. If you are looking for a tool that can translate your native language to English or some other language then you can go for livetranslate.

Step 1: Connect the hard drive with Computer

Make sure your hard drive have enough size before moving your iTunes library containing both audio and video files.

Step 2: Select a new location

To do so, open your iTunes preferences under the iTunes Edit menu. With the preferences pane open, click under the ‘Advanced’ tab. Click ‘Change…’ button under ‘iTunes music folder location’ to change the location to a desired folder on your external hard drive.

Step 3: Allow iTunes to Copy new media files

Under the ‘Advanced’ tab make sure you check the option ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’. This ensures that any new content you download or rip into iTunes gets transferred to the new location. Click ‘OK’ to continue.

Step 4: Consolidate the iTunes library

Once the preferences are changed, navigate to the iTunes File menu, scroll down to Library, and select ‘Consolidate Library’ from the list of options. This step could take time (depends upon the size of your iTunes library).

Step 5: Confirming the transfer of media files.

Your iTunes library has now migrated to its new location on your external hard drive or flash drive. iTunes have just copied media files to external hard drive and have not deleted from iTunes library Now. To check if the files have been copied to the new location or not, open iTunes, select a song, and select Get Info from the File menu. A window will pop up describing all the attributes of your song file, including the location of the file. If you want that new files should be transferred to external hard drive then make sure the external hard drive is not removed from the computer. If your external hard drive is not connected, iTunes will temporarily default to the original location until your drive is connected again.

It is always a good practice to keep a backup of your iTunes Library in external drive. You can listen to your favourite songs without connecting to the internet anytime and anywhere.

Basically, what we found is that Firefox tends to eat a lot of RAM in exchange for quicker launching and handling of the browser. It’s a pretty steep trade-off, and for those of us with tons of RAM and a broadband connection usually end up seeing no difference or at times, even slower performance than if these restrictions weren’t enabled by default. Here’s how to take them off and harness the full power of Firefox:

Reduce the amount of RAM Firefox uses for it’s cache feature

Try this:1) Type “about:config” (no quotes) in the address bar in the browser.
2) Find “browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers”
3) Set it’s value to “0“;(Zero)

Increase the Speed in Which Firefox loads pages

1) Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit Enter. (Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.)2) Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 10.

This means it will make 10 requests at once.

3) Lastly, right-click anywhere and select New->Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0“;.(Zero)

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages faster now.

Optionally (for even faster web browsing) here are some more options for your about:config (you might have to create some of these entries by Right Click –> New– >Interger or String

“network.dns.disableIPv6”: set “false”
“content.notify.backoffcount”: set “5”; (Five)
“ui.submenuDelay”: set “0”; (Zero)

Reduce RAM usage to 10mb when Firefox is minimized

This little hack will drop Firefox’s RAM usage down to 10 Mb when minimized:1) Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
2) Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
3) In the box that pops up enter “config.trim_on_minimize”. Press Enter.
4) Now select True and then press Enter.
5) Restart Firefox.

These simple tweaks will make your web browsing with Mozilla Firefox at least twice as fast and it’s a pretty simple thing anybody can do. Enjoy and let us know if these steps helped you!

Update: If you’re looking to reverse these settings, try the steps listed here.
