Spruce up your firefox with lightweight themes – Personas

Head over to Firefox addons site  for persona <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10900" target="_blank">here. This addon will give you the ability to change the look and feel of the browser without restarting it. Though it is not completely like themes and does not change the look and feel of the buttons and plenty of other things but this does make the browser a lot better. Here are some screenshots to show you how it feels like:

Lock the hardware eject button of the cdrom

$ eject -i 1 This command will lock the hardware eject button of your cdrom drive. Some uses are:

1: If you have a toddler and has discovered the cdrom button

2: If you are carrying a laptop in a bag or case and don&#8217;t want it to eject if the button is inadvertently pressed.

To unlock the button use:

eject -i 0

Upgrade to Fedora 13 from your existing version using yum.

Well. this time it seems to be very simple :

yum –releasever=13 upgrade

update 22/April/2010:
The key file will not be there so there are two options for you in this case:

1. Install the following rpms from the downloaded rpms with &#8221;yum –nogpg localinstall&#8221;
   a) fedora-release
   b) fedora-release-notes
2. Run the whole upgrade with –nogpg option.

Issue observed after the upgrade:
The new kernel was not added in the grub menu and I had to manually add the below entry in the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/gnu_grub" title="GNU GRUB" rel="homepage" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/">menu.lst file:

Liquid rescale and remove objects from the images.

Ever wanted to remove some unwanted object from an image. Wonder how many thinkgs you have to do, clone and delete and what not:)

There is a simpler way, just paint it in foreground color. Does that sound ridiculous, not any more with Liquid Rescale. First install the plugin for liquid rescale for gimp.

yum install gimp-lqr-plugin

Now, just follow simple instructions below:

1. in the menu, choose Layer and then Liquid Rescale
2. click on the New button in the Discard features section on the right: a new layer will be created
3. put the plugin window on one side of the screen without closing it, and go back to work on the gimp main windows
4. choose the paint tool and paint over the area you wish to remove
5. go back to the plugin window
6. click the Refresh button at the bottom: you should see your discard mask appear in the preview
7. optionally, in the Mode box on the left choose Lqr + scale back or Lqr + Lqr back
8. click the Auto size button at the bottom of the Discard features section (optionally choose the scaling direction in the box at the side of the button before clicking it).
9. click OK

Could it get any simpler.
