Bi-directional Sync between Thunderbird/Lightning and Google Calendar — Now with free tips a tricks :-) | Bi-directional Sync between Thunderbird/Lightning and Google Calendar — Now with free tips a tricks :-) September 26, 2008 at 12:04 Who hasn’t been looking for a long time for a rock solid calendaring system, accessible both at home, work and when traveling ? When Google Calendar appeared, it looked very promising… with tools like GooSync, you could sync your Google Calendar with your mobile phone/PDA, but not yet to your desktop client (Thunderbird/Lightning) to do your email / organisation… Queue Lightning, the calendaring extension for Thunderbird which brings the desktop email application one1 step closer to becoming a viable alternative to Microsoft Outlook.

Walk-through: This is all well and good and provides us with an easy to use local calendar, but that’s not much use if you wanted to update it at work, or on the road from a mobile device.

Nemo, the default Cinnamon file manager, needs Cinnamon to be installed, even if you want to use it in some other desktop environment such as GNOME/Unity.

That's not the only issue that makes using the latest Nemo under Unity difficult - Cinnamon 2.0 breaks Unity in Ubuntu 13.10, Nemo no longer draws the desktop icons and so on. I wanted to use the latest Nemo under Unity, but without Cinnamon dependencies so I used the Nautilus Unity patches modified for Nemo by Jacob Zimmermann, which I updated to work with the latest Nemo 2.0.3, and I also added some extra patches to remove the Cinnamon dependencies (except for cinnamon-translations but that shouldn't be an issue), re-enable Nemo to handle the desktop icons and allow Nemo to use GNOME Control Center to change the desktop background or set a picture as wallpaper via context menu. With these changes, you can completely replace Nautilus with Nemo in Unity, without having to install Cinnamon.

File & folder security is a big part of any operating system and Linux is no exception! These permissions allow you to choose exactly who can access your files and folders, providing an overall enhanced security system. This is one of the major weaknesses in the older Windows operating systems where, by default, all users can see each other's files (Windows 95, 98, Me). For the more superior versions of the Windows operating system such as NT, 2000, XP and 2003 things look a lot safer as they fully support file & folder permissions, just as Linux has since the beginning. Together, we'll now examine a directory listing from our Linux lab server, to help us understand the information provided.

It's possible that most Linux users have seen similar information regarding their files and folders and therefore should feel pretty comfortable with it.

How to restore your IMEI number on SGS3 (GT-i9300) I deleted my IMEI number when flashing roms a few days ago and it was showing as 000000... I searched everywhere for a recipe of how to restore it and could not find one that would work. The closest that I got was a brilliant post (see link below) describing how to restore the IMEI on a SGS2 i9100. After following this recipe, I was able to restore my IMEI number to 0049 .... which is just as useless as 0000.... It took me a couple of days of research (and HUGE thanks to everybody whose previous research I was able to use) and I finally succeeded in restoring my IMEI using the 9 step process that I describe below. I can't guarantee that it will work and I do not know if it will work on any device besides the SGS3 GT-i9300 (international SGS3), because this is the only device that I have and was able to test the process on.
