Editing Places is easy. They come from nautilus bookmarks. Open nautilus, select Bookmarks then edit bookmarks. This is very helpful to me because I use DropBox and all of my places are actually in the dropbox folder.
Hello, I know it's been a while so I'm going to share this. In ubuntu the window buttons to minimize, maximize and close the window are in the upper left corner. I guess they are trying to steer away from the Microsoft way of doing things. To fix this you have to edit the gnome configuration.
The change should be instant. This should work in any linux distribution that uses gnome.
Today, I figure out how to install my wired lan driver on linux. It is pretty simple, but I had a hard time getting the AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz file. I emailed the atheros website to see if they could fix their broken links. Updates on that later. Here are the simple steps to get it working.
1. download the AR81 driver (I could only find the 1.0.0.9 version because the atheros website is broken).
2. switch to the src directory and run make
3. run make install
After this I had to restart and it worked.
