Mousepad 0.3 :Enabling tabs by default

, ,

Good news for all XFCE fans + users, after a long time a new version of mousepad is out and it has undergone a complete rewrite. You can read more about that on XFCE website.
By default when a single file is opened using mousepad it doesn't show tabs, however if you do want tabs by default there is a way to do it:
1- Go to ~/.config/Mousepad/
$ cd ~/.config/Mousepad/


2- Open mousepadrc file
 $ vim ~/.config/Mousepad/mousepadrc


3- search for MiscAlwaysShowTab and change its value from false to true
 MiscAlwaysShowTab=true


4- if mousepad is open, close it and then restart the app.
You should see tabs ! :-)

[External Link]What's new in Linux 3.2

, , , ...

What's new in Linux 3.2?

Improvements to the Ext4 filesystem, network code optimisations and thin provisioning support in the Device Mapper are some of the major improvements in Linux 3.2. Further additions include new and improved drivers – for example, for graphics hardware by Intel and NVIDIA, as well as Wi-Fi components by Atheros and Broadcom.

After just over two months of development, Linus Torvalds has released version 3.2 of the Linux kernel. With this release, the kernel developers have regained their usual development speed after the intrusion at kernel.org delayed the completion of Linux 3.1 by a few weeks. As a consequence, the now-released kernel offers more changes than has recently been the norm, because the developers had more time to prepare improvements for inclusion into Linux 3.2.

Setting up XFCE ArchLinux

, , , ...

I am fairly satisfied with the setup I have right now in my Arch Linux running XFCE.
The Arch Linux as you might know is DIY Linux distro. I eventually settled for XFCE after a lot of DE hopping.

I started off with Gnome 3, but couldn't put up with it for more than a week. I know I had posted about how I actually thought I liked Gnome 3 but it turns out I don't like it.

I then gave KDE a shot and I must it was really nice. I liked it way better than Gnome 3. But for it kinda felt a bit slow and kinda of laggy. I didn't have a very smooth experience.

Then I gave Xmonad a shot. While it is on my list of preferred WM. It consumes way too much time to configure stuff so that it is everyday usable.

Finally and Thankfully I landed my foot on XFCE. Not only is lightweight its also fast and configurable. If you ended up installing XFCE on Arch Linux you would certainly want to configure/tweak it because as it is, it doesn't look good. At least I didn't find it appealing. The default font for the terminal and the windows are not everyday usable.

If you stare at the Sans font for a while I am sure you would want to restart and go back to Windows 7.
I must tell you even though I haven't completely tweaked my XFCE, figuring out the font to use took a hell lot of time. And eventually I settled for Inconsolata-g font for the Terminal(I would certainly recommend checking out this font). I really like it and in my opinion it is best suited for the terminal.

For the Windows and overall System I settled for Free Sans.

The next part was figuring the applications, and since I am still in the process of figuring out the best applications to run on XFCE I will postpone it for another post.

Fans running at full speed [Problem]

, , , ...

Fixing the fans problem in ArchLinux:
Ever since I installed ArchLinux I noticed that the CPU fans where running at full speed and making an awful lot of noise. I installed the CPU-Frequency tools but that didn't help. I followed the instructions given in this thread on the Arch Linux Forum and it kind of helped to some extent.

Give me that one command you wish you knew years ago. I'll start.(Topics like these instantly catch my interest)
