Faster Firefox

This article tested on Firefox 3.0.10 ( Ms. Windows XP and Ubuntu JJ )

Open your firefox and type about:config
( click ok i’ll be careful, i promise! )

Work on filter bar :
( type the bold, change the value by double click on it )
network.http.pipelining ; normally it “false”, change to “true”
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests ; normally it “4″, change to “8″
network.http.proxy.pipelining ; change from “false” to “true”
network.dns.disableIPv6 ; change from “false” to “true”
plugin.expose_full_path ; change from “false” to “true”

Create some new preferences:
( you can Right Click (RC) anywhere on the preferences panel )

Right Click > New > Integer > type nglayout.initialpaint.delay
click ok > type zero, 0 > click ok

Right Click > New > Integer > content.notify.backoffcount
click ok > type: 5 > click ok

Right Click > New > Integer > ui.submenuDelay
click ok > type zero, 0 > click ok

Right Click > New > Integer > browser.cache.memory.capasity
click ok > type: 32768 > click ok

Right Click > New > Integer > content.notify.interval
click ok > type: 500000 > click ok

Right Click > New > Integer > content.switch.threshold
click ok > type: 250000 > click ok

Right Click > New > Boolean > content.interrupt.parsing
click ok > choose: False > click ok

It’s Done !!
Now, it’s time to restart the firefox…………It should be faster than before.

Printer Sharing

1. On the computer which printer attached

Open Administration printing then add new printer
setup the printer
right-click on the printer then mark on enable and shared boxes
Go to server setting
make sure that “Shared published printer ……” checked
Open terminal then type : sudo apt-get install samba
Then sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
edit this :

[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
create mask = 0700

and

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = yes

restart samba by sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

2. on the Linux client ( here, I have ubuntu and mint users )

open their Administration – printing
if you see the shared printer on the left panel….just select it
or
choose internet protocol printer ( ipp ) then configure it out
you may test by test print

3. on the windows client

Open windows explorer
type the computer address where the printer attached
( for example \\192.168.1.122 )
Right click on the printer then choose connect
Set up the printer
You may test by test print

Nautilus Scripts

Started from here, talked about Send To feature ( this feature is famous in Ms. Windows — i think ) , i just realized that i have missed another simple thing !!
I found something in wiki and something in unleashed.

If you need Copy-To script :

#! /bin/bash
location=`zenity --file-selection --directory --title="Select a directory"`
for arg
do
if [ -e "$location"/"$arg" ];then
   zenity --question --title="Conflict While Copying" --text="File ""$location"/"$arg"" already exists. Would you like to replace it?"
   case "$?" in
      1  )  exit 1 ;;
      0  )  cp "$arg" "$location" ;;
   esac
else
   cp "$arg" "$location"
fi
done

If you need Move-To script :

#! /bin/bash
location=`zenity --file-selection --directory --title="Select a directory"`
for arg
do
if [ -e "$location"/"$arg" ];then
   zenity --question --title="Conflict While Moving" --text="File ""$location"/"$arg"" already exists. Would you like to replace it?"
   case "$?" in
      1  )  exit 1 ;;
      0  )  mv "$arg" "$location" ;;
   esac
else
   mv "$arg" "$location"
fi
done

just copy the script to your text editor and save it to
~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
But, don’t forget one more thing;
your script must be executable by typing
sudo chmod a+x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts in Terminal.

You can get Send-To script here
Open your Nautilus and the scripts will be there when you right-click on something ( press reload button if you didn’t see any )

Done !!!
