Downgrade Linux Thunderbird
For those who have upgraded to latest Thunderbird to find Calendar add-on is suddenly not compatible. The quick fix is to roll-back to last version as follows:
Display Thunderbird available versions
apt-cache show thunderbird | grep Version
Select last version to rollback to, e.g.
sudo apt-get install thunderbird=1:52.9.1+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
Stretch YouTube Video To Fit Browser Window
Fit a YouTube video in the browser window as follows:
Normal YouTube Video URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grItaOxuyTE&t
To watch in a re-sizable window without switching to Full Screen rewrite the above URLas follows:
https://www.youtube.com/v/grItaOxuyTE&t
Append your YouTube video ID to www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID to display a re-sizeable browser window.
In other words replace /watch?v= with /v/ in the normal URL
Mount EFI Partition from Linux
This blog (http://www.pjc.me.uk/efi-gpt/) is the only one that gets to anywhere close to answering this question. However you need to substitute “auto” instead of “fat32” in the mount command to get it to work. “xfs” and “fat32” threw out errors – actually the mount command after mounting shows it was “vfat”!
Here’s how I mounted the EFI partition on my external 500GB drive:
sudo parted -l print Model: ATA ST3500630AS (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 500GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 135MB 134MB bios_grub 2 135MB 345MB 210MB fat32 boot 3 345MB 479MB 134MB fat32 msftres 4 479MB 54.2GB 53.7GB ntfs msftdata 5 54.2GB 108GB 53.7GB ntfs msftdata 6 108GB 162GB 53.7GB ntfs msftdata 7 162GB 172GB 10.7GB ext4 8 172GB 184GB 11.8GB ext4 9 184GB 185GB 1074MB linux-swap(v1) 10 185GB 228GB 42.8GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Untitled_2 11 228GB 282GB 53.6GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Untitled_3 12 282GB 335GB 53.6GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Untitled_4 13 335GB 389GB 53.6GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Untitled_5 14 389GB 488GB 99.2GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Untitled_6 15 488GB 489GB 650MB hfs+ Recovery HD 16 489GB 500GB 10.9GB hfs+ Apple_HFS_Untitled_2 sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb2 /mnt/test cd /mnt/test/ ls boot EFI
Use kdesudo Dolphin (as Root) to view and edit files on the EFI partition
Note use of Parted (supports GPT drives) to get the partition number
Increase VirtualBox Hard Disk Size
From the Host Command line use the VboxManage resize option to increase the disk capacity
VBoxManage modifyhd \path-to-vdi-location\Windows\ 10\ Pro.vdi --resize 35840
This example is from a Linux host and increases the total size of the disk to 35GB (35 * 1024MB)
Once this is completed start the image and and use Windows Disk Manager to extend the volume to use the unused partition space.
How to mount NTFS volume
ls /media- If you don’t see a folder for your Windows partition, you should create one with the following command:
sudo mkdir /media/windows - Next, mount the partition in read-only mode onto this folder with this command:
mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/sda3 /media/windows
Remove VirtualBox from Ubuntu
If you need to completely remove VirtualBox, e.g. because a new version install fails preventing future installations then from the Console run commands below:
List VirtualBox installations
sudo dpkg -l | grep virtualbox
Example below
sudo dpkg -l | grep virtualbox rc virtualbox-4.3 4.3.30-101610~Ubuntu~raring amd64 Oracle VM VirtualBox iW virtualbox-5.0 5.0.28-111378~Ubuntu~trusty amd64 Oracle VM VirtualBox
Purge these installations in sequence replacing 4.3 and 5.0 with your versions and answering ‘Y” to questions
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-4.3 virtualbox-qt
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-5.0 virtualbox-qt
After reboot you should be able to reinstall VirtualBox without errors
Download project folder from GitHub using subversion
Install Subversion (SVN) as follows:
sudo apt-get install subversion
This command exports the GitHub PROJECT folder and subfolders and to DEST
svn export https://github.com/USER/PROJECT/trunk/PATH DEST
Suffix the PROJECT folder with /trunk and append the folder /PATH you wish to download. If the DEST folder does not exist it is automatically created.
For example the following command copies Tutsplus 30-days-to-jquery/lessons folder to lessons folder on the local drive:
svn export https://github.com/tutsplus/30-days-to-jquery/trunk/lessons lessons
Firefox about:config Locale Settings
In Firefox URL box enter about:config to view | edit your default locale search and language settings:

- browser.search.isUS
UK values for above = en.GB, GB, GB, False
Create ISO file from CD/DVD using DD
In Linux/Ubuntu to create an ISO from a CD/DVD is simplicity itself using the DD command
Use lsbk to determine the CD device name
lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 50G 0 part / ├─sda2 8:2 0 10G 0 part [SWAP] ├─sda3 8:3 0 1.6T 0 part /home └─sda4 8:4 0 50G 0 part sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk ├─sdb1 8:17 0 100G 0 part ├─sdb2 8:18 0 20G 0 part ├─sdb3 8:19 0 250G 0 part ├─sdb4 8:20 0 1K 0 part ├─sdb5 8:21 0 50G 0 part ├─sdb6 8:22 0 1000G 0 part /media/NTFS_DATA └─sdb7 8:23 0 443G 0 part sr0 11:0 1 25.6M 0 rom /media/mike/NEW loop1 7:1 0 25.6M 1 loop /media/iso
Create ISO file with DD
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/home/mike/Downloads/test.iso
Create Mount Point
sudo mkdir /media/iso
Mount ISO file
sudo mount -o loop /home/mike/Downloads/test.iso /media/iso
Unmount ISO File
sudo umount /media/iso
Remove Mount Point
sudo rmdir /media/iso
