Efficiently Using the Launcher. Learning some basic methods to navigate and customize the launcher can make it an efficient tool that is used to complete daily tasks.

Efficiently Using the Launcher

With several icons located in the launcher, reordering the applications may reduce your time searching for your desired program to execute. The images above show the steps involved in changing the order of the icons in the launcher. First, click and drag the icon you would like to move off of the launcher. In the example above, Banshee is being moved from below the System Monitor to below the Calculator application.

Once the icon to be moved is off of the launcher, a horizontal white line displays its new proposed location. If there are many icons in the launcher, it may not be possible to display them all at the same time due to space constraints. The image to the far left shows that there are too many icons in the launcher to display full size. In the next image, the launcher is in the process of scrolling down.

Ubuntu 12.04 – How to Completely Uninstall/Remove a Package/Software/Program

These instructions should work for other versions of Ubuntu, it’s derivatives (Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio) and other Debian based Linux distributions – but no guarantee is made. This tutorial is definitely on the advanced rather than basic side of things, but if you are careful, it shouldn’t be a problem. HTG Explains: Which Linux File System Should You Choose? File systems are one of the layers beneath your operating system that you don’t think about—unless you’re faced with the plethora of options in Linux.

HTG Explains: Which Linux File System Should You Choose?

Here’s how to make an educated decision on which file system to use. The landscape of the Linux file system support is drastically different from Windows and OS X. In Windows and OS X you can find software that will add support for non-standard file systems, but both operating systems can only be installed on their native file system and third party support is added after the fact. Linux on the other hand has a vast array of supported file systems built into the kernel. [Ubuntu Tip] Change Ownership of Files / Folders. This quick tip shows you how to change the ownership of files and folders in Ubuntu.

[Ubuntu Tip] Change Ownership of Files / Folders

This will work in all versions of Ubuntu, including Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). When you use the sudo command to install packages or create folders, the root account automatically assumes ownership. And if a regular user wants to edit or modify the file of which the root is the owner, he or she will be denied. In this case, you’ll have to give ownership of the file to the user who will be modifying it, and this is why this tutorial is here. How to Use 7zip in Ubuntu Linux Without Knowing Commands.

Baobab: A Tree To Discover Your Disks' Usage [Linux] Keeping an eye on your disk is always very important, especially today when dealing with huge quantity of data.

Baobab: A Tree To Discover Your Disks' Usage [Linux]

Take a look at your personal files and programs, and you will be surprised by how much disk space you consume. Baobab is a Graphical User Interface software to analyze a disk usage. Hopefully, Baobab can help you manage that, straight out of the box, and with very little installation required. At the risk of repeating myself, the installation is very simple. If you use Ubuntu, chances are great that Baobab is already present on your system, since it is part of the gnome-utils package.

For other distribution, check your repositories (here for Archlinux users). Now that Baobab is on your computer, you can launch it and use it without any further configurations. You can choose between two ways of representing the disk distribution: the ring chart or the tree map. I also liked the possibility to collapse and expand every folder in the tree via the command from the Edit menu.

[How to] Remove Multiple Players from Ubuntu Sound Menu. With several media players installed the Ubuntu Sound Menu can quickly become over populated – so how do you go about removing entries?

[How to] Remove Multiple Players from Ubuntu Sound Menu

The quickest way to remove music app entries from the Sound Menu is to uninstall the media players themselves. After all, you are likely to only use one at a time. But if you don’t want to remove them (and there are legitimate reasons for keeping more than one installed, see below) but also don’t want them appearing in the Ubuntu Sound Menu, the option to remove them does exist. My use case, for example: I use Beatbox to play my local tunes, but keep Spotify for Linux and Nuvola handy for any cloud-based streaming. But I keep Rhythmbox installed for one purpose: to buy music through the Ubuntu One Music Store, so I find the Sound Menu entry for it surplus to my requirements.

Unity Launchers are actually files stored in your computer, with a '.desktop' extension. In earlier Ubuntu versions, these files were simply used so as to launch a specific application, but in Unity they are also used so as to create right-click menus for each application, which you can access from the Unity Launcher. This article describes how to create a working .desktop file for general use, but also how to add it to the Unity Launcher and/or how to edit a Unity Launcher itself, by editing its fields or by adding a right-click menu to it. There are currently 2 ways of creating a desktop file. The 1st one is using a text editor, like Gedit, and the 2nd one is installing a program (gnome-panel) or using 'alacarte' that both do the job for you. The former lets you "control" your launcher more than the latter, but the latter way is easier.
