Ok, this time I’ll show you how to make one of these bad boys, an animated banner logo. Like this
or this
. The first one is actually a bit trickier as it involves a lot more layers than the other one, but I’ll explain that later.
What you need first to make these cool banners is,
You might have noticed that the suspend and hibernation function in ubuntu/kubuntu won’t work. While there’s no official fix, you might find this work around helpful, hope you enjoy!
Most people need hibernation for their laptops.
step is to install a tool called «uswsusp»
sudo apt-get install uswsusp
And by typing the below command you check if the suspend function works now….
sudo s2ram
Same goes for hibernation
sudo s2disk
Ever asked yourself how you can get your band logo onto your Myspace Band Profile rather than just a simple text displaying your band’s name?
It’s pretty easy, especially if you already have an existing band logo.
However, if you don’t already have a band logo, you can easily create one by using GIMP or Photoshop Elements. But let’s skip this step, i might post a tutorial how to create a neat band logo at a later point.
LaTex (pronounced La-Tech) is a document markup language and document preparation system for the TeX typesetting program.
I’ve been using it to write a paper for university so I’ll be sharing my knowledge that I gained so far here with you.
Let’s start with the basics, you will need a LaTex Editor to write your text in, because you cannot just write it in MS Word or OpenOffice Writer and compile it from there. Just to set the record straight, LaTex is a markup language, which uses commands to make your text look bold, coloured or any other text alignments you want to put it in.
The output of your LaTex document will be a .pdf file, as soon as you compile it. This usually does the editor for you. So make sure you have the Adobe Reader or any other tool that can open/read pdf documents installed, so you can actually read your finished document 😉
For instance, if you want to put your text in italics you need a command like \textit{your text in italics}. But more of that later!
Back to the LaTex Editor question, which one to choose? Well, first of all it depends on the operating system that you’re using. I’m using Linux (a unix based operating system) therefore I chose to use Kile (http://kile.sourceforge.net/).
If you’re using Windows, you might want to use these editors – as they’re all free software:
However, there are also multiplatform editors which should work on all operating systems. There’s a plugin for example for the Eclipse Editor, and even LaTex-Suite-Plugin for the popular Vim text editor.
Which editor you may choose, make sure you’re comfortable using it – this means it meets your needs and is not too complex to use. You’re better off to start lowkey, with a basic functionality.
Yes, this is my first attempt of creating a list of useful, everyday bash commands – as I find myself constantly in the situation looking for a specific bash command. If you’re unlucky, googleing the right command (especially if you don’t know what it’s called) can cost you several minutes if not hours.
So this will save me and hopefully you as well, the next time plenty of time. If you think there’s an important command still missing, which is more than likely, feel free to leave a comment with the command and a short explanation what it does.
Very special thanks to Bernd for the idea and his input! Thank you!
