You can install Yakuake by running the following commands depending on what distribution you are running, note you will have to have kdebase and kdelibs-devel installed for this to work, but it should autoinstall dependencies for some distributions.

Install Yakuake on Ubuntu / Linux Mint

sudo apt-get install yakuake

Install Yakuake on CentOS

http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=907

Install Yakuake on Fedora

sudo yum install yakuake

You will also probably want to set this to a startup application, this process can vary depending on what desktop environment you are running and to save a second or two I will just link you below on how to do this.

I hope you enjoyed this post and this neat little application, it makes life a little easier once you get used to it. More posts are coming, I kinda took a break from writing on any of my blogs for this past week or so due to starting my new job however I am finding more time to write. Please don’t forget to like/comment/share, it really helps this blog out a-lot!

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.8.iso

Should this link become out-dated it will still work since they have older versions up too however you can still get the latest version by going to this URL and navigating to the latest folder.

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/

Now that you have that taken care of you need to mount the ISO file in your Guest OS. You can do this by navigating to Devices > CD/DVD Devices > Choose.

After you have mounted the ISO just install as if it were any other regular Windows drivers or application by double clicking the setup if autorun doesn’t start.

Next you will need to create a folder that you would like to share, for the purpose of this tutorial lets just make something in your home folder. (MKDIR ~/VMSHARE)

Last thing that you need to do now is add the actual folder to your Virtual Machine, you may need to restart your Windows guest after adding but I am not sure. (I just did it since it takes 10 seconds) You can add the folder by going to Devices > Shared Folders. I have attached a screenshot of what your shared folder should look like if you want read and write access to it.

I hope this has helped anyone that couldn’t get their shared folders to popup on Windows in Virtual Box. More posts are on the way so please don’t forget to comment/share/like. =)

Most of these commands should also work for Linux Mint 13. Once you install a new desktop you can change to it by logging out and then changing your session to your new desktop environment.

<?php
$extension = ‘mysql‘;
if (extension_loaded(“$extension”)) {
echo “$extension”.’ is loaded’;
} else {
echo “$extension”.’ was not found’;
};
?>

You can swap out MySQL for any extension you like such as cURL. You could also just use phpinfo() and scroll down to “Loaded Modules” instead of using the above. If you want to check using the terminal you can check available php extensions by running the following command.

php -m

The Result could be something like the below:

[PHP Modules]
bcmath
bz2
calendar
Core
ctype
date
dba
dom
ereg
exif
fileinfo
filter
ftp
gettext
hash

I hope this post helped you check if php extensions are loaded, please don’t forget to comment/like/share, and if you see a mistake or I messed up somewhere please let me know and I will update this post ASAP since I am still learning. =)

In this quick guide I will show you how to make a MySQL database and assign a user to your newly created database using the Terminal.

Login To The MySQL Server

Use the command below to login to your MySQL Server.

mysql -u root -p

Creating A MySQL Database

Once you are logged into the MySQL Server you can create a database with the following command.

create database dbname;

Create/Assign A User To MySQL Database

Now you need to make a user and set permissions for your new database. You can give it permission to do all or restrict it to only allow altering for example but not creating tables, etc. In this example we will just set it to all.

grant all on dbname.* to username@localhost;

To limit what the newly created account can do you could use something like the command below instead while assigning it to your database. I will also put a list of different permissions after the example. I believe the below example would only allow the user to search the database and select tables and rows however not allow them to modify it at all, let me know if this isn’t correct though. =)

grant SELECT on dbname.* to username@localhost;

These are the permissions you can use, taken from the MySQL Documentation. You can use more than one of these user permissions although if you choose all then there is no need to select any of the other permissions.

• ALL
• ALTER
• CREATE VIEW
• CREATE
• DELETE
• DROP
• GRANT OPTION
• INDEX
• INSERT
• SELECT
• SHOW VIEW
• TRIGGER
• UPDATE

After this you still need to set a password for your new user, you can do this by running the following command while still connected to MySQL.

set password for username@localhost = password(‘yourpassword‘);

I hope this quick guide has helped you create a MySQL database and assign a user to it using the Terminal, more posts are always on the way! Please don’t forget to share/like/comment/plusone, thanks! I am still learning so if anything isn’t correct please tell me and I will update it ASAP.

Fedora Install XFCE Desktop

To install XFCE on Fedora just run the command below and when prompted answer y to download and install the packages.

sudo yum groupinstall xfce

After you have installed XFCE you can switch to it by logging out and changing your session from Gnome to XFCE. I attached a screenshot if you have never done this before.

And this last screenshot is how your newly installed XFCE desktop should look running on Fedora.

I hope this quick post helped you install XFCE on Fedora 17, please don’t forget to comment, share, or plus one. More posts are always on the way!

In this quick and to the point post I will show you how to easily install fonts on Ubuntu. You can also download tons of nice and free fonts from the sites listed below if you need more.

Installing A Font In Ubuntu

You can install a font on Ubuntu by simply double clicking on the actual font and then pressing the install button. It will then prompt you if you would like to install the font system-wide which means everyone can use it or just use it personally and you are the only one that can access/use it.

If you have a ton of fonts that you would like to install all at once instead of manually clicking on one font at a time then create a folder called “.fonts” in your home directory. You can use the command below to accomplish this.

mkdir ~/.fonts

Now just copy all of your fonts into this folder. This will only allow you to use your new fonts, they will not be there for any other users.

1. Use the command su to switch to root in a new terminal window.

2. Use the command cpan to configure cpan if you have never used this command before, after you configure/auto configure, your prompt might look something like this screenshot below. cpan should be installed by default (was for me) however you might need to install it using Yast.

3. Install whatever module you want with cpan by using this syntax.

install <perl-module-name>

I hope this has helped you figure out how to use CPAN to automatically install Perl modules on openSUSE / Suse Linux. Please don’t forget to comment/share/like.

Installing KDE (K Desktop Environment) on CentOS

You can install KDE4 just by running the following command in either your terminal or when logged in as root. (You don’t need sudo if you are logged in as root.) The current download size is 535mb total although that will change as things get updated/removed/added.

sudo yum groupinstall “KDE desktop”

You should be asked if you are sure you wish to install, simply type in y and press enter.

After you have finished downloading and installing you should be able to start KDE by running the following command and changing your session from Gnome to KDE.

KDM

Note: You will have to login again even though you are kinda logged in already? KDE4 will be the new default desktop environment after this and you won’t have to do this again. I attached a screenshot below of what your new KDE desktop might look like running on CentOS.

I hope this helped you get KDE running on CentOS, please don’t forget to comment and share/like/plusone.
