Using the Debian operating system on a computer as a home workstation.
One of the problems that prevented me from switching to full use of Debian was incorrect work with my Canon SX500 IS camera. Yesterday put Jessie and decided to deal with the problem deeper.
On one forum I found a tip : install pcmanfm file manager. Followed the advice and, cheers, the camera is connected! :)
ps It turns out that this is relevant only for the xfce file manager.
Firefox browser returns to Debian instead of Iceweasel.
To install the latest version of Mozilla Firefox you will need to perform several steps The first is to add the following lines to the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/firefox.list file:
# echo -n "deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports firefox-release"> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/firefox.list
When using iceweasel, I found a very unpleasant moment: if you click on the scroll wheel on a mouse in an arbitrary place on the page of any site, then instead of displaying the scroll icon, a page is opened in a new tab.
This problem is solved as follows. You need to open the about: config page in your browser, find the general.AutoScroll parameter and set it to true .
If you have servers to which you connect via VNC, then you definitely need a client to connect. There are several such clients in the Debian repositories. I will describe a couple I liked. ;)
With authentication by a key on ssh, being connected with Windows, understood. What about the use of the same key, only for authentication when connecting from a computer running Linux? PuttyAgent for Linux is not, and Linux does not understand the .ppk format.
What was my disappointment when, having installed putty on my laptop, I found that instead of Cyrillic characters dots are displayed.
It is clear that to manage the server in such conditions is simply impossible. In addition, this super-slim font hurts your eyes. (Further…)
Skype is an excellent program for voice and video communication, text correspondence. And users of the Debian operating system would also like to work with this wonderful application.
You've probably already read or heard about Dropbox and its features. If not, then you can find detailed information on the official site . In this article I would like to tell you how to install Dropbox on Debian.
One of the disadvantages of Advego Plagiatus - a program for checking the text for uniqueness - is the lack of a version for Linux. And for use you have to be perverted with all sorts of Wine.
Surely everyone knows that in Windows you can minimize all windows by pressing the Win + D keys. In Linux, to minimize all windows, you need to press ctrl + alt + d. This is not very convenient, especially for those who are still switching from Windows to Linux.
In order to minimize windows in linux by pressing the keys win + d, go to the window settings, select the “Keyboard” tab, find the “Show Desktop” item, double-click on this item and click the Win + D combination. All is ready. Now the windows will be minimized by pressing this shortcut.
