I tried to browse my cellphone from the bluetooth-applet in GNOME and got an ugly error.
Translated to english it would be:
“obex://[00:19:63:96:52:b2]” is not a valid location.
Solution was to install gnome-vfs-obexftp:
$ sudo apt-get install gnome-vfs-obexftp
The problem seems to be that Nautilus doesn’t support (understand) the OBEX-protocol. This should have been installed with the bluetooth-applet..
I wanted to take some screenshots from Ubuntu for some educational material I am writing. I was wondering how I could take a screenshot on login without running Ubuntu in a virtual environment.
I found xnest. xnest runs a x server inside the running x server. Installed by:
$ sudo apt-get install xnest
Then I used the command gdmflexiserver to start a GDM inside of xnest:
$ gdmflexiserver -n
I noticed that I could not login as the same user that had started gdmflexiserver. I created a new account on my computer and login went fine.
