I have shifted back to blogger for now, which allows me to map my domain name for free, and after fixing the css for pre tag I’m back in the game.

These steps demonstrate setting up 2 gmail accounts for checkgmail to notify you with:
1. Set up your first, and default profile
Applications > Internet > CheckGMail

2. After that works, quit checkgmail to setup your 2nd profile.

3. Open a terminal window, and type the following, replacing the my2nd word with your preferred profile name:
checkgmail -profile=my2nd

4. After that works, quit checkgmail again.

5. To make the two checkgmail profiles to automatically start at boot-up,
System > Preferences > Startup Applications
Click Add to add your default profile.

sources of the bits and pieces I put together for this post:
1. how to check emails for multiple gmail accounts – ubuntu thread
2. how to make checkgmail automatically startup in ubuntu (not the exact steps, but heck I got the pattern)

1. Ubuntu restricted extras – to enable Flash in sites that need it (e.g. YouTube) and java-enabled sites (e.g. hearts.vex.net)

2. NTP package to update the time via Internet time servers

Kernel crash reported. I think I would need to disable ACPI in Grub during boot. From terminal window:
cd /etc/default
gksu gedit grub

then edit the line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

with this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off"

Reference: Ubuntu documentation on grub2

echo 128000000 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

before the exec … line.

Save the file, then reboot Ubuntu. Avast should work after that.

gksu nautilus

are NOT in the usual trash bin that you can easily empty.

How-to:
1. Go back to gksu nautilus, press CTRL-H to show hidden files and navigate to –

root/.local/share/Trash/files

2. Select the files you want deleted (CTRL-A, or SHIFT+right-click each file)
3. Press SHIFT-DEL on the keyboard.
4. Confirm the deletion by clicking on the OK button.
5. Then repeat steps 2-4 for this location:

root/.local/share/Trash/info

6. Close the Nautilus application, then exit the terminal window.

Code below doesn’t work for me; when I tested deleting trash via the terminal window, the items remain in the Trash folders.

sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files
sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/info

Thanks to Alexandre’s blog (spanish).

Installing:
After downloading the tar ball file, in the terminal window
$ cd lexrupy-gmate-b5cc3f9

1. Update the package manager’s sources
echo "deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free #Skype" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null

2. Get the Apt key, to allow future updates to happen
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xd66b746e && gpg --export --armor 0xd66b746e | sudo apt-key add -

3. Install the Skype package
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install skype

this is a blockquote test and
this is the second line for the blockquote test with a longer ending that would word wrap or what?

<pre> – scrollbars and shaded! only a few themes have this feature.

this is a pre tag test and
this is the second line for the pre tag test with a longer ending and the last of the lot. Word wrapped or scrollbar?

[code] – nice and neat.

what does this do? first line
this is the second line with a long text to emphasize behavior whether word wrap will occur or a scrollbar.
