I had a lot of fun installing the Quantal Quetzal beta yesterday. It’s nice to be back after several months in Windows land. At this point I’m doing things in a dual boot setup.
A couple of things I ran into:
- I had weird visual striping problems trying to run the desktop cd for Quantal Quetzal (beta) so I instead installed Precise Pangolin and upgraded from there.
- I recently acquired a diNovo Edge keyboard and a Touch Mouse. These are very slick. And thanks to this note, the keyboard works like a charm.
Edit the file: /lib/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci.rules(If you need help editing a file, see bottom section.)
Change this line:
# Logitech devices
KERNEL==”hiddev*”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”046d”, ATTRS{idProduct}==”c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]”,
RUN+=”hid2hci –method=logitech-hid –devpath=%p”to
KERNEL==”hidraw*”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”046d”, ATTRS{idProduct}==”c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]”,
RUN+=”hid2hci –method=logitech-hid –devpath=%p” - I got Sublime Text 2 running with no trouble, thanks to the convenient repository from WebUpd8.
- I run into this in Thunderbird every time- I want to reply above the quoted email! Here’s where to set that.
- Do yourself a favor and set Firefox to reopen whatever you had open last.
- I don’t seem to be able to watch my Amazon videos online- in fact, it tells me my Flash plug-in is out of date! Chrome, which builds in its Flash player also seemed to choke on the Amazon player. But what’s this? Adobe Flash is EOL on Linux?!
NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux.
- I prefer Firefox, but I always install multiple browsers. I think it’s very cool and smart for Chrome to automatically add a software repository to Ubuntu so it can be updated in the “right” way.
- Thank goodness for this man and his help in getting me the Solarized theme in my copy of Komodo.
- Really, really odd issue with Apache. The javascript folder in my htdocs folder was being bypassed and the files were being looked for in
/usr/share
. It turned out this was caused by/etc/apache2/conf.d/javascript-common.conf
. I don’t know why this was added but I removed the symlink and now things are peachy.
