I didn't find a good-look logo for VIM, so I changed the original one a little bit.

It's a red flower on green leaf.

Microphone does not work in Skype?

My laptop is Thinkpad T60, using Ubuntu 7.04.

What's more, both arecord and Sound recorder do not work. Double click the volumn icon in notification area. Open Edit->Preference and check Capture. You will find the Capture is muted in Recording tab. Uncheck it. Now it works! Have fun!!

Making a backup of the partition entries

Making a backup of the partition entries

We will save all the partitions entries (both primary and logicial ones which appear in the extended partition). In this example, we'll be assuming that hda (the first IDE hard disk) is to be backed up.

First, we will save the MBR with DD (GNU convert and copy)

# cd /root
# mkdir partition-backup
# cd partition-backup
# dd if=/dev/hda of=backup-hda.mbr count=1 bs=512 

It will produce a very small, but very important file: 512 bytes of data. Now, we will save entries of the extended partitions:

# sfdisk -d /dev/hda > backup-hda.sf

sfdisk is a tool provided with the util-linux package.

IMPORTANT: You should now put these files somewhere safe - copy them to a floppy disk (and take a copy of it!), or burn them onto a CD. Keep these files safe. Do not leave them on your hard drive - if there is a problem with th drive, you may not be able to access these files, and while your partition images won't be wortheless, it will certainly be a lot harder to restore your data.
[edit]
Restoring partition entries from the backup

Be careful, restoring is a dangerous action - it can destroy data! First, we will restore the Master Boot Record:

# dd if=backup-hda.mbr of=/dev/hda


Then, here is how to restore extended partitions entries: 
# sfdisk /dev/hda < backup-hda.sf

# # dd if= sda-mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1 count=64 skip=446 seek=446

To finish, you will have to reboot your computer.

Do you hate ubuntu's color and themes

Honestly, I don't like it. That's why I did not start it for a long time.

But, we can change it. I like blue as on Fedora. So, let's do a little work to make it eye-candy.

1. Login theme
download this theme, which is best in gnome-look site :
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/macbuntu?content=64266
Open
Start->System->Administration->Login Window
click local tab, add the themes you just downloaded.
Don't close now, change the background color to dark blue, just under the themes.

2. Splash theme
Splash is just a picture. Choose whatever you like in
Start->System->Preference->Splash Screen
I like this one


3.gnome themes and icons
Actually, I like the MacOS theme.

Probably you notice the laucher bar on the right, it looks nice. How to get it? Install gdesklets and search the widget startbar. Good luck
