Cubicle Denizen: Mount iDisk under Ubuntu

May 10th, 2010 No comments
How to mount your iDisk under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS via cubicledenizen.blogspot.com

In order to connect to it from Ubuntu, simply click on Places>Connect to Server…

The first option you have here is a list of server types, including FTP, Samba, SSH, and WebDAV (HTTP). Select WebDAV from this list, and then enter the information as follows:

Server:     idisk.mac.comPort:       80Folder:     Your user name (without @mac.com)User Name:  (leave blank)

Now enter your username (again, without @mac.com) and password when prompted, and you will find your iDisk mounted with an icon on the Ubuntu desktop.

Ubuntu Auto Maximize

May 10th, 2010 No comments

I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I am loving it.  One of the things that never really bothered me when I was using the 10 inch screen on the netbook was the “feature” to auto-maximize every window.  Now that i am using it on a large display – it was driving me bonkers.

 

If you find yourself needing to turn off the auto-maximize feature, here is how:

 

1. Press Alt + F2 to bring up the Run Application dialog box

2. Type “gconf-editor” without the quotes and press run

That will bring up your Configuration Editor

 

3. Hit the + beside Apps

4. Scroll down and click on Maximus 

5. Check the box next to “no_maximize”

Then close the Configuration Editor.
