    Docky - die Mac OS Toolbar für Ubuntu

    Installation

    Docky ist nicht in offiziellen Quellen verfügbar, kann aber ab Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 aus einem PPA bezogen werden.

    Aus PPA-Quelle

    Um das Programm aus dem PPA Wiki/Vorlagen/PPA/ppa.png

    ppa von docky-core zu installieren, muss, abhängig von der Ubuntu-Version, eine der folgenden Paketquellen eingetragen werden:

    Hinweis!

    Zusätzliche Fremdquellen können das System gefährden.

    Für Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10:

    ppa:docky-core/ppa (über Synaptic oder Softwareverwaltung KDE)

    oder

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/docky-core/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

    Um die Quelle zu verwenden, sollte man den Signierungsschlüssel für diese Quelle einspielen. Dazu verwendet man folgenden Befehl:

    sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 3528AE20  

    Das zu installierende Paket [1] heißt:

    • docky

    Nach der Installation ist das Programm bei GNOME unter "Anwendungen -> Zubehör -> Docky" zu finden. Für eine korrekte Darstellung sollten Desktop Effekte aktiviert sein.

    Keeping SSH Sessions Alive « Ubuntu Blog

    Scott Merrill writes in to say:

    I noticed recently that ssh connections from my Ubuntu laptop to my
    Debian server would time out and disconnect if I left the connection
    idle for a long-ish period of time. This really annoyed me, because my
    Debian desktop does not exhibit this behavior when connecting to the server.

    I added the following line to /etc/ssh/ssh_config :
    ServerAliveInterval 5

    That seems to have fixed the problem, and my laptop can now remain
    connected, though idle, to my server. Maybe this will help someone
    else, too.

    What this does, essentially is every 5 seconds, the client sends a small keep-alive packet to the server to make it look like the ssh connection is being actively used. The reason for Scott’s timeout could be a NAT firewall that seeks to minimize the nember of active connections to reduce its memory footprint, or to improve performance for other clients. Most firewalls and networks let you keep your connections alive for as long as you wish, but some may act up, and that’s when you can use Scott’s trick.

    Tip: Change 5 to 240 or 300, so that instead of every 5 seconds, the keep-alive signal is sent only once in 4 or 5 minutes :)

    Sorry it took me so long to post this useful tip, Scott.
