Set Up Google Sitemap Generator on Dreamhost
The following will take you through the steps to install the google sitemap script on a webserver. The host I use is Dreamhost but the steps can be modified to any host that allows python scripts to be run.
While most software probably has a sitemap generator module or plugin some such as Pligg don;t yet. Even if the software you use does this would allow for the plugin to be removed, useful if you feel you have too many plugins activated.
Synchronise Tomboy Notes via SSH
A New feature in tomboy is you can synchronise notes via SSH or WebDav. After upgrading to Ubuntu Gutsy I found there are a few things needed to do to set up SSH synchronisation.
First of all in preferences you need to change the option in addins to use SSH, WebDav is the default. Then when if you try to set up the connection to the server you will get an error advisong that the synchronisation plugin is unsupported and to ensure FUSE is set up properly.
So here's what you need to do.
Install Script for NDISwrapper
Updated version can be downloaded from here.
NDISwrapper is a kernel module which allows windows driver to be used in Linux. Most distributions will have it in their repositories now but from my own experience I have found the ones that can be installed do not work well for me.
The following is a script I wrote to help whenever I need to install or upgrade NDISwrapper. I have checked it on Debian and Ubuntu but it should also work in other distros as long as you have the required dependencies for NDISwrapper.
The script will check that the proper kernel headers are installed along with build essential if you are running a debian distro. If not installed it will install them for you. It will then remove any previous versions of NDISwrapper and any installed drivers then install ndiswrapper and any driver files you supply. Additionally it will blacklist a few wireless modules that may interfere and also add NDISwrapper to /etc/modprobe.d/modules to load it automatically (this may not be necessary but won't hurt).
