Back from Sweden

Just got back from Hudiksvall, Sweden today. Annika and I were there for a week basically so we could celebrate mid-summer with friends. It’s a bit odd riding home at 1am and it still being light out. It does get a bit dark but only for a couple hours. Photos will be on the Gallery shortly.

Only 3 weeks now till I leave for the States. I’ve got quite a lot to do before leaving but most of it should be taken care of in the next week and a half.

Abolish ubuntu spatial in Hoary

For those who hate ubuntu spatial and never want to see it again, you can issue this command WITHOUT any users logged into Gnome (GConf can’t be running.).

sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/no_ubuntu_spatial true

The same is true for other settings as well. Also, if you want to make a setting mandetory then just change “defaults” to “mandatory” and users will be restricted to that setting. For other settings you’d probably need to change the type after “–type” and the value at the end.
