 Change the amout of image file size we want to generate   PCmanFM shows the thumbnails for all images Since GNOME went to version 3 (which is a disaster), LXDE is now one of the most popular and most used desktop environmen ts in Linux, alongside MATE and XFCE. It is good looking, modern and amazingly fast. But don't you aware? That PCmanFM, the default File Manager for LXDE, ain't able to show all of our images/pictures/photos thumbnail. At the first time I realized this, I was lil bit confused. Why, and what happened ? Was this a bug ? Apparently, this is not a bug. It is the default setting of PCmanF m for the sake of speed. This file manager won't show thumbnails for images/pictures with file size more than 2 MB. So, to make PCmanFM able to show thumbnail for images with size more than 2 MB, we have to set it. To do that, just go to menu Edit > Preferences > Display, and at the bottom, change the value of  "Do not generate thumbnails ...

If we use MATE or LXDE, we probably often got a bug in Network Manager Applet (nm-applet) particularly if we use a mobile broadband connection. The bug is there is no icon when the connection is established. What does really cause this ? Well, apparently, the cause is very small, actually not a big deal. The cause is in the crappy default gnome icon theme (yeah, tango icon theme and the gnome icon theme is the ugliest icon themes ever). To fix this, just follow these simple steps : Choose a good icon theme for 24 pix panel size (I took an icon from /usr/share/icons/Faenza/status/24/nm-signal-100.png Rename the icon to be nm-wwan-tower.png Move the icon into the system sudo mv nm-wwan-tower.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps Logout login, or reboot the system, and last, try it by connecting to the Internet.

To play music, there are many choices now in Linux. But as I've tried those stuffs, from Amarok, gMusicBrowser, Rhythmbox, Banshee to Clementine, I found that the best is XMMS in sound quality. Yes, it's an obsolete app. Even we can call it "an ancient app" from the ancient world. It uses an ancient technology gtk+1.2, but strangely, it has very great sound quality : Clear in the Treble, Soft in the Bass, But, how and where we could get this app and install it onto our current, newer Linux distro ? I know, even the libraries for this app is not available anymore in any current Linux software repository. And so, I share my collection to you HERE . Installation Stay online and connect your apt to your official Linux distro's software repository (Ubuntu,   Debian). Extract the .tar.gz enter to the folder by terminal  Install them manually by terminal :  sudo dpkg -i *.deb If you found a dependency error, just fix it  :  sudo apt-get -f install ...

Finally “Stable” MATE Desktop has reached version 1.4.2. It brings some improvements and for me, it now runs far far more stable than its previous versions when I tested it on the Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal. All good but still, we can't use the original default Ubuntu's Ambiance theme in MATE. And so, just for fun (but finally working good) I made a fork of Ubuntu's Ambiance Theme dedicated for MATE desktop and I called it Matembiance Theme. Installation Download the deb HERE , and install it manually by terminal or by gdebi : sudo dpkg -i matembiance-theme_2012.12_all.deb
