[125001210010] |How to Export your Mails from Evolution to Thunderbird
[125001210020] |If you want to Export your Mails from Evolution to Thunderbird here is the simple procedure to follow
[125001210030] |Preparing Your Thunderbird
[125001210040] |Create a new mail account in Thunderbird (this is so that if everything goes pear shaped nothing else will be affected).
[125001210050] |In Thunderbird choose Edit -> Account Settings -> Add Account
[125001210060] |Select Email Account and click Next
[125001210070] |Leave identity settings as they are and click next
[125001210080] |Set the Incoming Server to “localhost” and REMOVE the tick from “Use Global Inbox” Click next
[125001210090] |Leave the Incoming user name as it is. Click Next
[125001210100] |Change the Account Name to something relevant such as “Evolution Mail”
[125001210110] |Once the settings are created return to Edit -> Account Settings and select the “Server Settings” option under the “Evolution Mail” account.
[125001210120] |Take note of the “Local Directory” Setting.
[125001210130] |It will be a string like “/home/yourloginname/.mozilla-thunderbird/a2ti6rsz.default/Mail/localhost”.
[125001210140] |This is where all mail is stored for this account.
[125001210150] |Now that the account is created and you know where to find it you can transfer the emails from Evolution.
[125001210160] |Transferring mail from Evolution to Thunderbird
[125001210170] |Open up two windows to your Home Directory.
[125001210180] |Navigate in one of the windows to the path that Thunderbird has assigned for your email storage above.
[125001210190] |HINT: CTRL+h in your home folder will show all hidden files and folders so you will be able to see the “.mozilla-thunderbird” folder.
[125001210200] |Once you are in this folder you will see some files in there with names such as Inbox, Inbox.msf, Junk.msf and so on.
[125001210210] |In the other window from your home folder navigate to “.evolution/mail/local” This is where any locally stored mail from Evolution is placed.
[125001210220] |There are a similar set of files to what you see in the Thunderbird folder, Inbox, Drafts and so on.
[125001210230] |Copy the files named Inbox, Sent, Outbox and Drafts from the evolution folder to the mozilla-thunderbird folder (dragging and dropping while holding down your ctrl key will copy rather than move the files).
[125001210240] |When it asks if its ok to overwrite them just say yes.
[125001210250] |Its ok, nothing bad will happen.
[125001210260] |Its just a copy.
[125001210270] |You can trust me.
[125001210280] |Honest.
[125001210290] |If you have your mail folders organised in evolution under your Inbox there will be a sub directory called “Inbox.sbd” under the .evolution/mail/local/ directory.
[125001210300] |In that directory you will find files named the same as your folders such as Humour, Humour.cmeta, Humour.ev-summary, Humour.ibex.index and so on.
[125001210310] |Of course, this depends on what you’ve called your folders.
[125001210320] |For any of the folders you want to move to Thunderbird chose the file WITHOUT any extension and copy it to the localhost folder where you previously placed the Inbox and other files.
[125001210330] |Thats all there is to it!
[125001210340] |Open Thunderbird and you should see all your mail and the relevant folders under the “Evolution Mail” account.
[125001210350] |You can keep the mail there or move it around in Thunderbird.
[125001210360] |The choices are yours.

[125001260010] |How To Import your mails from Evolution to Thunderbird
[125001260020] |If you want to Import your mails from Evolution to Thunderbird there is very nice utility called MboxImport .
[125001260030] |Thunderbird, like many other email clients, uses the mbox format to archive the emails.It’s curious that Thundebird has not a function that let you import or export files in this format and this lack is sometimes a problem when you want to move the accounts from a pc to another one or when you want to migrate (for example) from Mozilla to Thunderbird.Anyway this kind of import can be made very easily copying the mbox file into the directory “Local Folders” (it is inside the profile directory) with Thunderbird close; restarting the program, the mbox file will be visible as sub folder of Local Folders.To export, you must just copy the email files that are inside the account’s folder.This method can give some troubles, above all for people not very expert with Thunderbird, because the profile’s files are into a hidden directory, whose path changes with the operative systems or also with personal needs.
[125001260040] |First you need to download MboxImport from here
[125001260050] |Install MboxImport in Thunderbird
[125001260060] |In Thunderbird, go in “Tools” --> “Extensions” and click on “Install”;
[125001260070] |pick the xpi file you downloaded and follow the instructions;
[125001260080] |restart Thunderbird.
[125001260090] |To export, it’s sufficient a right-click on the folder or on the account and to choose the voice you want from the menu “Import/export”.
[125001260100] |Once you have saved all the folders/files into the Mbox format, just go into Evolution and select “Import” and follow the wizard using “a single file import” and select your xxxx.mbox file and then select which folder in Evolution you want to import into.
[125001260110] |For importing the address book from Thunderbird to Evolution, use T-birds address book export function and save the address book as a .csv file.After finishing address book check everything is fine or not.
[125001270010] |Securly Clear Free Hard Drive Space with Disk Scrub Utility
[125001270020] |Scrub iteratively writes patterns on files or disk devices to make retrieving the data more difficult.
[125001270030] |Scrub operates in one of three modes:
[125001270040] |The special file corresponding to an entire disk is scrubbed and all data on it is destroyed.
[125001270050] |This mode is selected if file is a character or block special file.
[125001270060] |This is the most effective method.
[125001270070] |A regular file is scrubbed and only the data in the file (and optionally its name in the directory entry) is destroyed.
[125001270080] |The file size is rounded up to fill out the last file system block.
[125001270090] |This mode is selected if file is a regular file.
[125001270100] |A file is created, expanded until the file system is full, then scrubbed as in item 2.
[125001270110] |This mode is selected with the -X option.
[125001270120] |Scrub implements user-selectable pattern algorithms that are compliant with DoD 5520.22-M or NNSA NAP-14.x.

[125001280040] |So here we go!
[125001280050] |You need to put your script(s) in /usr/local/bin In a terminal, run
[125001280060] |sudo gedit /usr/local/bin/en2fr
[125001280070] |The “en2fr” will obviouly allow you to translate an English word to its French equivalent.
[125001280080] |It proves to be quite practical to translate, for instance, words in the ‘man’ pages; however, you can also type “grandmother” and get a decent translation!
[125001280090] |For KDE users
[125001280100] |$ kdesu kate /usr/local/bin/en2frThen copy/paste this:
[125001280110] |#!/bin/bash w3m http://www.wordreference.com/fr/Translation.asp?enfr=$1
[125001280120] |into it.
[125001280130] |Make it executable in a terminal, run

[125001290030] |It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs.
[125001290040] |Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities.
[125001290050] |K3b is a GUI frontend to the cd recording programs cdrdao and cdrecord.
[125001290060] |Its aim is to provide a very user friendly interface to all the tasks that come with cd recording.
[125001290070] |from mp3, ogg vorbis, and wav files (on-the-fly or with images)
[125001290080] |* cd-text support
[125001290090] |* ID3-tag support
[125001290100] |* little gimmick: hide the first track (so that you have to search back from the beginning of the cd to find it)
[125001290110] |* volume level normalization (only when writing with an image)
[125001290120] |Install Avidemux and K3b in Ubuntu
[125001290130] |First you need to check you have installed Avidemux and K3b packages if not use the following command to install
[125001290140] |sudo avidemux K3b
[125001290150] |This will complete the installation.
[125001290160] |Make a VCD from an AVI Using Avidemux and K3b
[125001290170] |In Avidemux, from the menu select Auto->VCD, then select a filename.
[125001290180] |It will create an mpg, saving to your Home directory by default.
[125001290190] |In K3b, from the menu select File->New Project->New Video CD Project.
[125001290200] |Drag and drop the mpg you created in step 1.

[125001300030] |There are 7 .deb files, they may be found and downloaded from here (Although there are other files in this directory, all you need are the .deb files )
[125001300040] |Download all deb’s, place them into a folder on your desktop, let’s call it “deb”.
[125001300050] |First you need to install the following dependencies

[125001310010] |Disable Synaptics Touchpad While Typing in Ubuntu
[125001310020] |For many of us, our laptop touchpads get in the way of our typing quite often and can actually cause us to highlight or minimize things we didn’t intend.
[125001310030] |So, this will help to alleviate that by making a small delay in the response of the touchpad after typing.
[125001310040] |Open a Terminal from Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[125001310050] |Type sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_synbackup

[125001310070] |Enter your password if it prompts you.
[125001310080] |Search for a section that looks like the following
[125001310090] |Section “InputDevice” Identifier “Synaptics Touchpad” …End Section
[125001310100] |Add a line above the End Section line and put this into it:
[125001310110] |Option “SHMConfig” “on”
[125001310120] |Save the file and close gedit and the terminal window
[125001310130] |Now you need to restart your desktop GUI using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[125001310140] |Add the Startup Command
[125001310150] |Open the sessions manager: System -> Preferences -> Sessions
[125001310160] |Click the far right tab labeled Startup Programs

[125001310180] |Type in the following: syndaemon -i 1 -d
[125001310190] |Hit ok then hit close
[125001310200] |You can restart Gnome with the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[125001310210] |To disable the touchpad completely, open your xorg.conf, and comment out or remove the line that says

[125001350010] |Bandwidth Monitoring Tools For Linux
[125001350020] |Bandwidth in computer networking refers to the data rate supported by a network connection or interface.
[125001350030] |One most commonly expresses bandwidth in terms of bits per second (bps).
[125001350040] |The term comes from the field of electrical engineering, where bandwidth represents the total distance or range between the highest and lowest signals on the communication channel (band).
[125001350050] |Bandwidth represents the capacity of the connection.
[125001350060] |The greater the capacity, the more likely that greater performance will follow, though overall performance also depends on other factors, such as latency.
[125001350070] |Bandwidthd
[125001350080] |BandwidthD tracks usage of TCP/IP network subnets and builds html files with graphs to display utilization.
[125001350090] |Charts are built by individual IPs, and by default display utilization over 2 day, 8 day, 40 day, and 400 day periods.
[125001350100] |Furthermore, each ip address’s utilization can be logged out at intervals of 3.3 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour or 12 hours in cdf format, or to a backend database server.
[125001350110] |HTTP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, VPN, and P2P traffic are color coded.

[125001350180] |Bwbar
[125001350190] |bwbar is a small C-based program for Linux-based machines which produces bandwidth usage statistics for a network interface.
[125001350200] |It was originally written by H. Peter Anvin, and I (Brian Towne) modified it somewhat to better suit my needs.
[125001350210] |The original program was released under the GPL.
[125001350220] |A number of people have asked for the modified program and its source, so I have created this page.

[125001410010] |How to Set-up a gameport,gamepad or joystick in Ubuntu
[125001410020] |If you want gameport,gamepad or joystick to work in Ubuntu you need to follow this procedure
[125001410030] |Basics of Game Port,Gamepad and Joystick
[125001410040] |Game Port
[125001410050] |The game port is the traditional connector for video game input devices on an x86-based PCs.
[125001410060] |The game port is usually integrated with a PC I/O or sound card, either ISA or PCI, or as an on-board feature of some motherboards.
[125001410070] |The game port is no longer supported by Windows Vista and will thus likely largely disappear.
[125001410080] |Gamepad
[125001410090] |A gamepad, also called joypad or control pad, is a type of game controller held in the hand, where the digits (especially thumbs) are used to provide input.
[125001410100] |Gamepads generally feature a set of action buttons handled with the right thumb and a direction controller handled with the left.
[125001410110] |The direction controller has traditionally been a four-way digital cross (D-pad), but most modern controllers additionally (or as a substitute) feature an analog stick.
[125001410120] |The analog stick was introduced with the Atari 5200 controller, but did not reach popularity until the Nintendo 64, Sony PlayStation, and Sega Saturn.
[125001410130] |Joystick
[125001410140] |A joystick is a personal computer peripheral or general control device consisting of a handheld stick that pivots about one end and transmits its angle in two or three dimensions to a computer.
[125001410150] |Most joysticks are two-dimensional, having two axes of movement (similar to a mouse), but three-dimensional joysticks do exist.
[125001410160] |A joystick is generally configured so that moving the stick left or right signals movement along the X axis, and moving it forward (up) or back (down) signals movement along the Y axis.
[125001410170] |In joysticks that are configured for three-dimensional movement, twisting the stick left (counter-clockwise) or right (clockwise) signals movement along the Z axis.
[125001410180] |These three axes - X Y and Z - are, in relation to an aircraft, roll, pitch, and yaw.
[125001410190] |Now we will see how to configure some Game Port,Gamepad,Joystick modules in Ubuntu
[125001410200] |First, we need to check if the gameport module is already loaded.
[125001410210] |In a terminal, type the following command
[125001410220] |lsmod
[125001410230] |It should display a list of the currently loaded modules.
[125001410240] |One of the lines should begin with ‘gamepad’
[125001410250] |gameport 17160 2 snd_es1938
[125001410260] |If you didn’t find any similar line, look for the way to enable the gameport for your specific sound card in the list below.
[125001410270] |Now, we need to setup the gamepad/joystick.Again in a terminal, type the following
[125001410280] |sudo modprobe joydev
[125001410290] |Testing and calibrating the gamepad/joystick
[125001410300] |If you want to check if everything’s working correctly or/and you want to callibrate your device, you can try out jscalibrator.
[125001410310] |What is jscalibrator ?
[125001410320] |GTK Joystick Calibrator With jscalibrator you can calibrate your joystick for Linux games.
[125001410330] |The Joystick Wrapper library (libjsw) is designed to provide a uniform API and user configuration for joysticks and other game controllers on all platforms.
[125001410340] |It features an integrated library level calibration system using jscalibrator to provide a one time calibration for any program that uses libjsw. libjsw also features several levels of advanced joystick input error correction.
[125001410350] |Install jscalibrator in Ubuntu
[125001410360] |sudo apt-get install jscalibrator
[125001410370] |If you want to use this program run the following command from your terminal
[125001410380] |jscalibrator
[125001410390] |A new window should appear which should allow you to test and calibrate your device.
[125001410400] |List of gameports, gamepads/joysticks and their corresponding commands
[125001410410] |Gameports
[125001410420] |Classic ISA/PnP gameports
[125001410430] |sudo modprobe ns558

[125001410500] |Any other gameports(If your sound card isn’t one of the above and you couldn’t find it in lsmod, try this command)
[125001410510] |sudo modprobe gameport
[125001410520] |Gamepads and joysticks
[125001410530] |Analog joysticks and gamepads: (Most gamepads and joysticks, especially generic ones, work well with this one)
[125001410540] |sudo modprobe analog
[125001410550] |Assassin 3D and MadCatz Panther devices
