Ubuntu Tips

All tips mentioned here have been applied to my HP 520 laptop, using Hardy Heron.
  • Changing default boot option- edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
  • Using Nokia phone as a usb EDGE modem- see Shihab's Blog
  • Location of downloaded packages- /var/cache/apt/archives
  • Change options to "Open With" menu- edit ~/.local/share/applications to add/remove .
  • Update Firefox. Fix "Offline Mode" at startup bug.
  • VLC Media Player skins directory- ~/.vlc/skins2/
