synergy and dual monitors
I want to have this setup on Ubuntu using synergy...
DUAL_MONITOR_SYSTEM_MONITOR-1 <-> SINGLE_MONITOR_SYSTEM <-> DUAL_MONITOR_SYSTEM_MONITOR-2
go to Monitor settings in ubuntu
change the position of existing dual monitors from A->B to B->A
now open up your synergy.conf file and make it look like this
section: links
right =
left =
left =
right =
end
dos2unix
it's been awhile since needing this and when I went to install it was gone. wtf
not really, it just changed a bit
install is easy
$ sudo aptitude install tofrodos
to convert from DOS to UNIX
$ fromdos FILE
to convert from UNIX to DOS
$ todos FILE

issuing the following will make the function keys behave like normal

$ sudo update-initramfs -u
$ sudo reboot

Ubuntu please remember my wireless password
1) right click on wireless antenna icon in the notification tray
2) click edit connections
3) click the wireless tab
4) double click the wireless adapter
5) check the box at the bottom that says "Available to all users"
next time you reboot you won't have to enter your keychain password to connect to your wireless network
