I do not have a very big mp3 music files collection, just 2 to 3 gigs of them, but I have made it over the years, and some of the original CDs are missed, so I can not import them again.

This is really easy on Linux, maybe even more that in Windows, you can use CRL+C and CTRL+V as in Windows, but the easy way is.

Select the text you want to copy, then go to the application where to want to paste it, and using the middle button of your mouse (the wheel in some models) you paste it.

Almost everybody have heard about Google Chrome, for those who not, it is the Google browser, it is a real good, fast Internet web browser, as almost everything from google.

The drawback of it is, that it is only available for Windows, so what about us, Linux Operating System users?, well there is an option and that is to install chromium, which according to Wikipedia is "Chromium is an open source web browser which Google Chrome is based on.[1] The project's aims are to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all Internet users to experience the web".

Well it is not actually Google Chrome, but it is a good alternative for Linux users, now lets see how to install it on Arch Linux.

If you want to play protected CDs or DVDs on Arch Linux or any other distro, you may need to install libdvdcss, in order to avoid the message "Media stream scrambled/encrypted".

In Arch just enter this at the prompt.

sudo pacman -S libdvdcss

There are some situations when you need to start a second X session on your computer.

If you are running KDE the solution is quite simple, just go to

and if you are not using KDE, the solution is still easy :),

How Customize Ubuntu with Backgrounds and Emblems

As a new Linux user one of the first things I set out to do was customize my Ubuntu installation. I started to explore the main desktop and window options and I discovered that window backgrounds can be modified to use whichever picture a user designates. The user can also add Emblems to their files and folders to help identify contents at a glance. The guide below will walk you through the process of modifying an existing window background with colors or patterns and how to quickly assign emblems to your files. The last part of the tutorial will demonstrate how easy it is to add your own patterns, colors, and emblems to your Ubuntu installation. If you have any comments or questions please post them below.

There are a lot of wireless manager software available for Linux, some of the most common ones are:

NetworkManager, which is the default for Ubuntu
KwifiManager, which is the KDE's default one

I used to use wifi-radar, but now I am using wicd.

I finally manage to have my KDE power control, screen brightness, working, as well as, I am now able to suspend to RAM or Hibernate to disk also working from KDE.

First I must say that I had all of that working from the command line, I also have installed and working cpufreq

So, the only needed step to have this working was to configure, /etc/Policykit/Policykit.conf
