I must have clicked something naughty in Compiz Config Settings Manager, because I lost the top and left side panels, and generally there was not much more than just the desktop background. I was stumped on how to fix this.
By default recent Ubuntus (e.g., 11.10) use Network Manager, which makes things simple:
click network icon in system tray Edit Connections select the one entry that you see there (unless your network is not working) Edit… IPv4 Settings From Method drop-down select Manual the rest should be straight forward If not using Network Manager to manage network connections, you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and add (adjust to own network parameters):
Steps needed to download my repo from github to a new computer:
install git generate SSH key
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C “your_email@youremail.com” add public key to github keys associated with my identity have ssh-agent forget identies
ssh-add -d now reread new ones
ssh-add verify ssh setup is working (see http://help.github.com/ssh-issues/)
ssh -vT git@github.com clone repo
git clone git://github.com/maciekk/emacs.git Note that did not have to do a “git init” or “git remote add”.

This book has been highly recommended to me, I should check it out soon:

Typically “Windows” is one of the last options in the GRUB menu, and thus rather brittle to selecting by static index. Instead, one can specify default GRUB choice by using the full option name. Here are the steps I followed last to update this on a recent Ubuntu (11.x) install:

Solution – Reset the Furthest Page Read
Use the same device for all of the steps below before opening the book on a different one, the below example is using a single Kindle
1. Set the Synchronization off on your Amazon Account (Go to Amazon -> Your Account -> Manage Your Kindle -> Manage Kindle Device Synchronization -> click the “Turn the Synchronization off” button to turn off the synchronization)
2. Wait about a minute, then exit & re-enter your book
3. Go to the beginning of your book on the Kindle
4. Sync to the furthest page. If it tells you that you’re on the furthest location, you’re good to go.
1. If not, select Cancel on the sync message, exit and re-enter the book to attempt the reset again. (I think that the Amazon databases have to get reset-thus the delay; in any case, it always works for me on the 2nd attempt)
5. Turn on the synchronization setting on your Account – your Furthest Page read will be reset to your new location.
6. On your other devices–if further along in the book, you will have to go to the beginning of the book, but once done the Furthest Page Read location will sync with your Kindle.
