Ubuntu Blog in english

When I started using the latest Ubuntu Release, Karmic Koala, I noticed that the autocomplete (or autofill) function in the command shell wasn't working, like it used to... and later on I noticed that it was only the sudo command that didn't work with "autocomplete". And even later on I found the blog of a french guy, where he explains how to enable the autocomplete function on Karmic Koala.
For those, who can't live without autocomplete, neither, here are the steps you need to follow, to enable autofill again:

Execute the following command in a command shell:

gedit ~/.bashrc

And copy the following lines:

if [ "$PS1" ]; then
complete -cf sudo
fi

Now you'll only need to save changes, and next time you iniciate the command shell, everythings gonna work as it did last summer...

If you are looking for a download manager for Ubuntu, we recommend Plowshare, one of the best download managers for Ubuntu.
Plowshare is a Software that makes it possible to download and upload files by using the command shell. The most popular servers are supported, as there are Megaupload, Rapidshare, 2Shared, Badongo, Mediafire, 4Shared, ZShare and DepostFiles.
To install the download manager, first we'll need to install teh right codecs by executing the following command:

sudo apt-get install curl librecode0 recode tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-deu tesseract-ocr-eng imagemagick

Now, we could visit the authors homepage, to see which is the lastest version available (today it's 0.8.1). Than we execute the following command (if we are installing a later version, we'd need to replace it):

wget http://plowshare.googlecode.com/files/plowshare-0.8.1.tgz

tar xvzf plowshare-0.8.1.tgz

cd plowshare-0.8.1

sudo bash setup.sh install

Once Plowshare is installed, we can download files by using the command shell using the command plowdown and upload using the command plowup.
Here some examples:

plowdown http://rapidshare.com/files/289304031/ubuntu-blog.tar

plowdown listaDeLinks.txt

plowup nombreDelArchivoASubir megaupload

While trying to execute the Wiki-Lyrics script, you probably stumbled on the following error message:

We are sorry...
You need QtRuby, RubyGTK or TkRuby to execute this program.

To solve this problem, we'll need to install the libgtk2-ruby package, executing the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2-ruby

In this new Ubuntu Release Karmic Koala the "System" menu icons are not shown by default... if we want to be able to see them as we were used to, we'll need to install Jaunty Jackalope again... (I'm kidding! Its not that complicated...) or execute the following command in our command shell:

gconftool-2 --type Boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons True

Well, now you'll see something similar to...:
