====== Ubuntu ======
I've been a member of the documentation team for a few years, so most of my contributions are in the current Ubuntu trunk. These are just bits and pieces accumulated over the years.

===== Unanswered Posts Team =====
The [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnansweredPostsTeam|Unanswered Posts Team]] has a Firefox plugin that integrates with their tracking system. Bodhi.zazen hosts it but his certificate &&|| Firefox seems to be playing up, so I'm mirroring it [[/ua|here]].
===== Tips and Tricks =====
Useful command line tips are [[/commandline|here]].
==== Mount an ISO image ====
Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal):

<code bash>sudo mkdir /mnt/ISO
sudo mount -o loop image-name.iso /mnt/ISO</code>

==== Disable dontzap on Jaunty ====
Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the following to the serverflags section:
<code xorg_conf>
        Option          "DontZap"               "false"
</code>

If the section doesn't exist add it:
<code xorg_conf>
Section "ServerFlags"
        Option          "DontZap"               "false"
EndSection
</code>
Xorg needs to be re-started for the change to be applied.

==== Automatically renew net connections post resume ====
This was bugging the hell out of me - every time I suspend or hibernate, when I resume the network has dropped out and network manager will not respond to bring it back. Well there’s a solution, which I’ve posted here straight from the posting I made on the forums. For me, turning off networking before suspend works.
<code bash>sudo vi /etc/default/acpi-support</code>

Change the line that reads:
<code bash>STOP_SERVICES=""</code>

To
<code bash>STOP_SERVICES="networking"</code>

==== vim ====
For reasons best known to core-dev, the set nocompatible flag is not enabled in vim by default so the cursor keys might play up:

Edit ~/.vimrc or /etc/vim/vimrc (for system wide) and add:
<code bash>set nocompatible</code>
  
==== Howto connect an MTP Media Player in Ubuntu ====
Tested using a Samsung YP-S5.

Install packages:
  sudo apt-get install mtpfs mtp-utils

  - Run RythymBox and tick Edit->Plugins->Portable Players - MTP
  - Click Close

Connect your device via USB and open a terminal:
  dmesg

Check to see an output similar to:
  [ 3962.140179] usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
  [ 3962.292763] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
  [ 4149.080225] usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 3
  [ 4171.172079] usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
  [ 4171.359378] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Now when you run RythymBox you should have your device listed in the left hand panel!
