Restoring Ubuntu 11.04 Title-Bar (Min / Max / Close Bar)

For those ended up like me in loosing my top windows bar in Ubuntu 11.04, here I find a fix from Ubuntu Genius.

If you occasionally find your title-bars or window borders missing from your programs and folder windows, it’s actually quite easy to fix, and there’s no need to reboot.

You will need to edit a Compiz-Fusion setting, so open System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager; if it isn’t installed, just run sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager in a terminal.

Once open, scroll down to the Effects section, where you will see Window Decoration is not enabled. Simply click the check box to the left of it, and you should see your window borders reappear.

Keep this in mind for the future, as certain things can upset Compiz-Fusion and you’ll likely be without title-bars again (especially if you’re playing around with settings, as enabling one Compiz plugin can disable another).

Solution To Revert Back From New Yahoo! Mail to Yahoo! Mail Classic.

I have examined the New Yahoo! Mail brings problems to the user. Directly, there is no way to break back into the previous version of Yahoo! Mail for not given the facilities (no link / button) to go back. Therefore, I have found other methods of indirect methods (unofficial).

Here it goes :
a) The first method is to reduce the screen resolution to the lowest resolution. Thereafter, refresh / web site in Yahoo! Mail. Yahoo! Mail system will display a message that says a low screen resolution can not accommodate New Yahoo! Mail. Thus, users will be proposed a link to go-back to the previous version of Yahoo! Mail. Just press the link, Yahoo Mail will go back to Yahoo! Mail Classic.

b) The second method is to disable Java Plug-in in the web browser . After disabling, then refresh the page and the user will see the first method display. Just follow the instructions and Mail Classic can be recovered.

You receive a "Game paused" message when you try to load a saved game in Age of Empires III

I've been having this problem for quite some time now... but never took the initiative to look for a solution... but now I'm glad I did...

SYMPTOMS

When you try to load a saved game in Microsoft Age of Empires III, you receive the following message:
Game paused

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, when you load a saved game and receive the “Game paused” message, press the PAUSE/BREAK or F7 key to play the saved game. By default, the game is designed to load the saved game in the paused mode.

Ubuntu Keyserver Update Failure Fix


I was trying to update my Ubuntu PPA via terminal when I got this message. If it couldn't connect to the keyserver.ubuntu.com, how the heck it is going to get my key??? So here's the solution I found on http://www.serenux.com . Thanks to Allah, this article saved my day. :)


I get an “HTTP fetch” error when I try to import a GPG public key!
If you get the following error:


$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C5E6A5ED249AD24C
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C5E6A5ED249AD24C
gpg: requesting key 249AD24C from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
$
It is because your firewall is blocking access to the Keyserver. Keyservers use port 11371 to communicate, not port 80 which is the normal HTTP port, so open 11371 as an outbound port on your firewall and re-run the command and it will work fine.
