Hey guyz .. Hi ..I am Back after a long time. My last engineering exams are over. And now im out of college life.
As now college is over and we had many assignments on Linux we all had to install and use it.. Using Linux is great and I am a damn big fan of Linux especially "ubuntu"..
But many of my friends wanted to know how to remove Linux from their system. So I had to suggest them a sequence of steps which I got to know from net, though I have not tried them (as i still use Linux.. :) ).
Here we delete the Linux partitions and reinstall the Windows Bootloader.
"Friends use Linux" Links: WHY1 WHY2 ...

Steps are as follows..

1. Boot with your Windows XP cd.
2.Select Recovery Console Option
3. At the prompt, type "fdisk /mbr" (without the quotes of course)
4. Restart your computer
OR
TRY
If for some reason you find the need to get back to your Windows XP bootloader instead of the one installed by your Linux distro, simply follow these instructions:

1. Boot up with your Windows XP disc.

2. Select the option Recovery Console.

3. At the prompt, type "fixmbr" (without the quotes of course)

4. Restart your computer.

Hope any these works..do tell me if it works.. :) please..

Way to recover the 'winlogin.exe'

Of course there is Boot into the recovery console and use this command.
expand d:\i386\winlogon.ex_ c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe

D: = drive Xp cd is in
C: = drive Xp is installed on


Thanks..do comment.. Cheers..

Pidgin is a graphical modular messaging client based on libpurple which is capable of connecting to AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, XMPP, ICQ, IRC, SILC, SIP/SIMPLE, Novell GroupWise, Lotus Sametime, Bonjour, Zephyr, MySpaceIM, Gadu-Gadu, and QQ all at once. It is written using GTK+.

I am using Pidgin 2.4.1 and lately I was not having any "Invisible" status option and I was in need of it as Gtalk and Yahoo messenger provide it.
Pidgin helps to connect different accounts and so you can log in your accounts through pidgin and you dont have to log in your account through different Applications as messenger and Gtalk.
Pidgin is the default Chat application on Recent Linux Systems.

So Steps to enable Invisibe in Pidgin: ( I hope this works for you as it worked for me. :) )
Press Enter

5. Done this is it. If this is not working on your version, now try changing the status to Invisible.

Finally, if you want to reset the above settings. Follow the same procedure but make in the above XML snippet.

Wireshark is a tool which is useful to extract packets on the network which we are receiving and also which we are sending depending on the protocols.
These packets are captured and presented by the software.
The software provides different options to capture the network traffic on different "interfaces" like Ethernet, Wireless, and many others as our need.
It also provides other useful options to filter the packets which we want to analyze: like we can set a filter for wireshark to provide you with packets from particular IP or particular http or ftp or broadcast packets as per requirement.

I was using this software on Ubuntu systems.
You can get the software details at here.
On ubuntu you can download and install it directly from Application-> Add/remove in 'Internet' option (you need a working internet connection).

While using it on Ubuntu i was facing a problem:
When u use Wireshark by clicking on its icon in Applications->Internet->wireshark.
The application starts, but when you click on Captur-> Interfaces, it "must" provide you with list of available interfaces as eth0, wlan0...etc..
but it does NOT..
So i was in search of some solution and i got a solution as :
 goto terminal and start wireshark with the following command and the above problem was not faced..

Run these commands on Terminal
$ su
Password: "Enter you root Password here"
$wireshark &

This will start wireshark. Wireshark starts with a window and another window saying "Running as root can be dangerous" click on OK and use it.
Happy goin..

New Year, New Thoughts, New Expectations, New Dreams,  New Ideas, New Resolutions,... Everything must be new.. of course the diary also..

Cairo-Dock is an animated launch bar similar to AWN. You can use it to launch applications and utilize small applets that live on the bar.
I installed it after using AWN for many days. And as i am interested in different attractive looks, themes..so i found cairo-dock far more better than AWN.
Regarding efficiency i have no idea but as far as looks and animation, plugins and themes are concerned, cairo-dock is seriously attractive.
so here i am providing a help for u all to install and use Cairo-dock and enter your experience and suggestions..
"it is compatible with Beryl, Compiz, Metacity+xcompmgr and probably KDE since Kwin now manage composite display."

Official website to know about cairo-dock-- tutorial

I really like the auto-hide feature of Cairo-Dock, it doesn't intrude on my desktop until I need it. It's also quite flexible. You can configure it in a number of different ways from a simple 2D plane view, a 3D tilted plane or a carousel configuration.
