Scratch : Linux installers

http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Linux_installer

Download latest version of Scratch for Linux, scratch-1.3.1_0.9-4_i386.deb for Ubuntu 8.10.

From Command Line Interface

Install the package

sudo dpkg -i scratch-1.3.1_0.9-4_i386.deb

So, if you need to work with sound in Scratch, you should install those packages

sudo apt-get install alsa-oss libasound2-plugins

無法啟動Google Earth 5

加入
sudo mv google-earth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 google-earth/bkp_libcrypto.so.0.9.8
就可以了！

參考：http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6781271

修正中文論碼：
1、關閉3D效果， 桌面－右鍵－更改桌面背景－視覺效果－無
2、裝好後，刪除 /安裝路徑/google-earth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 如果擔心的話改個名字也行。
3、系統－首選項－qt4 設置（如果沒有的話先安裝QT，在添加刪除程序裡找一下）：
fonts-family-Wenquanyi bitmap song(其它中文字體也行，文泉驛黑在GE5里不好看)
select or enter a family 選 ar pl ukai cn
關閉QT4，保存
4、啟動GE5，工具－選項－3D視圖－選擇3D字體－選一個喜歡的中文字體。
OK了

在終端機升級ubuntu版本

Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended)

1. Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed:

   sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

2. Edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set:
   
   nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
   
   Prompt=lts改為
   
   Prompt=normal
   

3. Launch the upgrade tool:

   sudo do-release-upgrade

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

參考：http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

Lenovo 3000 V200 XP driver

Ubuntu在驅動Printer還有待努力：Epson 6200L,CX11F等

所以在VirtualBox裡的XP就需要Driver了：

升級Fedora core 7

用光碟無法升級，會要求直接安裝，所以找了一篇文章：http://blog.ssh.tw/?p=950

修改如下：

1. su -
2. yum update
3. yum clean all
4. wget ftp://ftp.isu.edu.tw/Linux/Fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release*
5. rpm fedora-release*
6. yum remove bind pdftk (因為升級時這兩個套件會出現錯誤訊息，所以先移除)
   
7. yum upgrade (要很久，先睡一覺再來)
   
8. reboot

後記：因為升級完成後仍有套件錯誤的訊息，再移除，最後整個系統很多功能都被移除，就放棄了。

升级到最新的OOo3!

編輯： /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
在最後增加一行：

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main

在終端機輸入
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 60D11217247D1CFF

gpg --export --armor 60D11217247D1CFF |sudo apt-key add -
匯入GPG，最後

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

在Ubuntu 8.10用EPSON CX11F

參考 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=894493
To summarize:

1. Download Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1.tar.gz by selecting 'Other' and 'Other' for the distribution and version drop down boxes. It's at the bottom of the section title 'Download for AcuLaser CX11 for CUPS'.
   
2. Once downloaded, do the following to compile and install the driver (commands in square brackets are optional, if you're not sure if something is installed, perform the command):
   
   Code:

   
   sudo apt-get install libcupsys2-dev build-essential
   tar -zxvf Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1.tar.gz
   cd Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1/
   ./configure
   sudo make install
   [ sudo apt-get install bc ] # this should already be installed on Heron
   sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
3. Now go to System -> Administration -> Printing
4. Go to Edit -> New Printer (your Epson CX11NF should be in the list on the left)
5. Click Forward and follow the install Wizard prompts, you should see the driver you just installed listed. Select that and print a test page - voila!
6. If you see the job enter the queue briefly and then disappear, with no output from your Epson, try this command to help offer pointers to missing dependencies:
   
   Code:

   /usr/local/bin/pstoalcx11.sh PageSize=lt XY600=5100×6600 MediaType=normal TonerSave=false InputSlot=cassette1 Collate=on Copies=1 Color=color Resolution=600dpi XY600=5100×6600

To summarize the steps to make CX11 run into my Hardy Heron installation are:
- downloading CX11 filter from http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_mfp.html
- apt-get install libcupsys2-dev
- tar -zxvf Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1.tar.gz
- cd Epson-ALCX11-filter-1.1
- ./configure
- make install
- sudo aa-complain cupsd
- sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

Shortly I added "sudo aa-complain cupsd" to the istructions in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=894493

若無法設定，
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/pstoalcx11.sh /usr/bin/
或是ln亦可。
