Ubuntu splash screen knowhow

Image
By
------ BOOTSPLASH ---------

1. http://www.64bitjungle.com/tag/boot-screen/

Usplash is the application that controls the boot splash, so I did a quick search in /etc for a conf file. Oddly enough, one exists, and it’s called usplash.conf . Running

$ more /etc/usplash.conf
# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.

xres=1440
yres=900

2. I also edited the menu.lst file, in /boot/grub/

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

and changed the end of the “kernel” line for the default Linux image boot, removing “quiet”, and ensuring “splash” was also included:

title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=[Your UUID] ro splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic



3. Restore splash screen from Kubutu to ubuntu

To get back your familiar Ubuntu usplash image and screen

$sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-386

Change Bootsplash Screen

To install this theme copy .so file to /usr/lib/usplash/ and run
sudo update-usplash-theme ubuntu-round

The other way is to use StartUp-Manager

download usplash .so themes from www.gnome-look.org

Fastest way to send multiple drafts from gmail

By
People claim that the fastest way to send multiple email drafts is to use Gmail IMAP with email client like Outlook or Evolution or Thunderbird. But I have found this is not true. Because Thunderbird and Evolution etc. email clients treats the drafts as emails still to be edited. So it is not just simple select all and hit send. Each email draft has to be opened and sent separately. That is a lot of clicks and mouse movements, wasting precious time and energy. I have a better solution which involves minimum keystrokes and mouse usage. Efficiency booster technique for sending emails. If someone is feeling adventurous and want to try it from the Gmail interface itself, here's how to do it in the fastest possible manner. It involves using the mouse once. Select the first draft. Gmail would open a new email box and put the cursor inside the box to write. Press TAB once to go the Send button. Press ENTER to send. Now Gmail sends it and the box is gone but the highlight goes to the last...

Changing the font size of section headings in LaTex

You have several ways to do so: 1.- A direct redefinition of \section: \makeatletter \renewcommand\section{\@startsection{section}{1}{\z@}%                                   {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%                                   {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%                                   {\normalfont\large\bfseries}} \makeatother 2.- By means of the titlesec package: \usepackage{titlesec} \titleformat{\section}{\large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{} 3.- By means of the sectsty package: \usepackage{sectsty} \sectionfont{\large} source : http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3245   Now, I would explain the titlesec package a bit more (because it seems easier to me and...
