Unfortunately, this is not the case with Xubuntu (and probably other -buntus).
A fix can be found below.</p>

<p>Open Terminal and go to the Preferences menu under Edit. Under the General tab, you will find a checkbox named &#8220;Run command as login shell&#8221;. Make sure, the box is checked.

<p>Remove the file on the iOS device by connecting to it with a file browser or SSH.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Using xfce, most of the themes available customize the way your desktop icons look, but almost all of them add some kind of background to the icon label.
If you like the background to be transparent, you need to create one file in your home folder.</p>

<!--more-->


<p>Add the following to <code>~/.gtkrc-2.0</code> (create it if it does not exist)</p>

<div><script src='https://gist.github.com/2604543.js?file='></script>
<noscript><pre><code>style &quot;xfdesktop-icon-view&quot; {

XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
font_name=&quot;Sans Bold&quot;

base[NORMAL] = &quot;#ffffff&quot;
base[SELECTED] = &quot;#ffffff&quot;
base[ACTIVE] = &quot;#fefefe&quot;

fg[NORMAL] = &quot;#ffffff&quot;
fg[SELECTED] = &quot;#73B2D0&quot;
fg[ACTIVE] = &quot;#D17100&quot;
}
widget_class &quot;*XfdesktopIconView*&quot; style &quot;xfdesktop-icon-view&quot;</code></pre></noscript></div>


<p>This will make the background transparent and change the font colour to white.
The configuration is straight forward, so try out what looks best for you.
Note that you might have to log out and back in for changes to take effect.</p>

The option was grayed out for me, though.
Here is how to enable the option for unsupported Macs.</p>

<!--more-->


<ol>
<li>Open “System Information” and find your “Model Identifier”</li>
<li>Open a Terminal</li>
<li>Edit the following file as administrator (sudo nano)
<code>/Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist</code></li>
<li>Scroll to the bottom where you find an array of strings for “USBBootSupportedModels”</li>
<li>Add your device according to the logic of the strings. (MB is a MacBook, MBA a MacBook Air, MBP a MacBook Pro, IM an iMac, MM a Mac Mini, MP a Mac Pro)</li>
<li>The numbers can be found from your Model Identifier, but without the comma.</li>
<li>Save the file and open Boot Camp Assistant</li>
</ol>


<p>If you did everything correctly, the option to create a Windows 7 USB install drive should now be available to you.</p>

One file that kept annoying me was <code>/private/var/vm/sleepimage</code>. I am almost exclusively on wall power and do not need the 8 GB file. In addition, my SSD is rather small. Simply deleting the sleepimage did not help, even if you do not use hibernate mode, it will come back. Here is how to get rid of it permanently.</p>

<li>Install BeejiveIM and launch it a first time on your iDevice, then, and this is important, quit the application completely (–> remove it from the multitasking bar on your iDevice!)</li>
<li>Download this file to your computer</li>
<li>Open the file with a text editor (e.g. <em>TextWrangler for Mac</em>), find the phrase <strong>“Your_ICQ_Number_Here“</strong>, delete this text and enter your ICQ number. Don’t forget to save the changes.</li>
<li>Now, we have to copy the file to its destination path. Use iExplorer or PhoneView to browse the Applications on your iDevice and enter the BeejiveIM folder. Then copy the file you’ve edited to the “Documents” folder by overwriting the existing one.</li>
<li>You’re done. Launch BeejiveIM, click on your ICQ number and type in your password.</li>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Today I wanted to install a new VM. Unfortunately, VMware Fusion did not like that my installation medium was a DMG file. So I had to turn that file into an ISO. Here is how.</p>

<p>DMG to ISO:</p>

<div><script src='https://gist.github.com/2604570.js?file=dmg_to_iso'></script>
<noscript><pre><code>hdiutil convert image.dmg -format UDTO -o image.iso</code></pre></noscript></div>


<p>hdiutil adds .cdr to the file, but after renaming it, VMware Fusion would accept the image</p>

<p>ISO to DMG:</p>

<div><script src='https://gist.github.com/2604570.js?file=iso_to_dmg'></script>
<noscript><pre><code>hdiutil convert image.iso -format UDRW -o image.dmg</code></pre></noscript></div>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>If you do not usually use your administrative account for everyday use (as you should!), but would still like to sometimes use it for a few administrative commands in Terminal.app, here is how to allow that.</p>

<!--more-->


<p>Open Terminal.app and log in to your admin account with</p>

<pre><code>su USER
</code></pre>

<p>with USER being the account name of your admin user.
Now enter the admin password and then this command</p>

<pre><code>sudo visudo
</code></pre>

<p>Scroll down to where it says “# User privilege specification”.
There at the bottom of the list of users you will need to add a line analog to this one</p>

<pre><code>USER ALL=(ALL) ALL
</code></pre>

<p>Replace USER with the user that is supposed to be able to use sudo.
Now save and quit (hit ESC, then :wq <Enter>). All done!</p>
