Display classic view in Ubuntu 11.10 - linux

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 OS.By default it displays its stylish display.I want to configure it to display classic view which will display the task bar and the menu, to display all programs.
can anybody can tell, the steps to configure, for displaying classic view in Ubuntu 11.10.

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
Once this is done, reboot and before login in, at the bottom, select Classic view and it should work.
If for some reason the result isn't as good as your old Classic view, I recommend switching back to 11.04 (that's what i'm running on) since Classic view is already a part of that version.

Disabling VSCode autoupdate on linux machines

Suggestions provided here to disable autoupdate of VSCode apply only to MacOS and Windows. I have a linux machine on which VSCode updated itself today to Version 1.60.0
Although it does not apply, I nonetheless had
"update.mode": "none"
in the user settings.json file.
This question has been asked before on SO. See How do I disable VS Code of updating itself?, but it does not appear to work on linux.
This documentation from VSCode specifically for linux states:
If the VS Code repository was installed correctly, then your system
package manager should handle auto-updating in the same way as other
packages on the system.
How exactly should one go about disabling auto updates for linux? Does the above quote mean that on linux either all packages are auto updated or none of them are? I am on Ubuntu 20.10
Okay Google suggests:
Open the Unity Dash (16.04) or App Launcher (18.04+)
Search for 'Software & Updates'
Select the 'Updates' tab.
Change 'Automatically check for updates' from 'Daily' to 'Never'.
I don't have ubuntu at my office or i would test. I'll make sure when I get home if you haven't tried by then.
The reason VS Code in Linux still updates despite the settings is because the app is not handling the updating. In Linux, the package manager handles it. In Linux Mint (and Debian, Ubuntu) at least, the update is being done with apt. Other Linux distros have different package mangers, like Yum for RedHat based systems.
The way to disable the updating of VS Code is to remove the repository check that's created when VS Code is installed. In Linux Mint the location is:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list
This file has one repo listed:
deb [arch=amd64,arm64,armhf] http://packages.microsoft.com/repos/code stable main
To stop updating, simply comment out the line by adding a hash (#) in front of 'deb'
The proper way to do this would [probably] be to remove the repo using apt, but I prefer to keep the list file and repo available to make it simple to replace should I wish to enable auto-updating in the future. To start updating again, simply remove the hash and save the file.
Updating can still be done from VS Code after it's disabled in the package manager. To update VS Code manually, from the About menu select "check for updates" and then download and install if updates are available.
If you have set updates to "none" in settings, Check for updates does not show in the menu. You can get this menu item back by changing the setting for updates to "Manual".

Can't install openSUSE 13.2 from USB - linuxrc launches

OK, so I would like to install openSUSE 13.2 64bit with my USB (want to install it, not to use LiveCD - so i downloaded installation 4.7GB iso). I have used Universal USB Installer 1.9.5.7 to create installation media. Everything worked without problem. When I boot from it, first a openSUSE screen shows up with options Install, Upgrade, Something-I-Don't-Remember and Check installation media. If I choose Install, terminal shows and at the end it says that it is launching "openSUSE installation program". After that, a graphically stunning screen with header "linuxrc" (seems to be responsible for launching installer) shows up and asks me to insert installation media and then press Yes to continue. If I click yes, it shows again, if I click no, it shows me another screen with options Install, Check disk integrity, Reboot and so on... I choose install and it asks for source medium. Options are CD/Network/HDD. However, I want to install it from an USB.
So, my question is: What am I doing wrong? Because I got that feeling that after choosing Install in the first screen (that one with openSUSE background), something else should happen instead of showing up linuxrc. Like launching or whatever. Or should I use another app to "burn" my ISO on USB?
Ok i just managed to make it work.
I am using ISO downloaded today morning (5.November 2014 at 13:11) and ImageWriter ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/9haeauu9sq8xtkx/ImageWriter.exe ). And it seems to work. If you get error about writeToDisk, close the program and launch it as Administrator (i mean it, right click and select run as administrator, it asks you for admin password even if you launch it with doubleclick but it won't work). Then find your file (it shows only *.*raw files in open dialog so you will have to just start writing iso file name in Open bar), choose right device and it will do the hard work. If it finishes with "Sucess" message box, restart PC and boot from USB. Then select Installation.

Fullscreen not functioning in virtualbox image open in vmware

For a project I was given a virtualbox image to work on. I don't have virtualbox but opened it in VMware and it works great except that in full screen the vm stays small and in the middle. I tried changing the autosize to stretch but it turns out obviously distorted and hard to work with. How do i get the fullscreen to work properly?
You probably lack VMWare Tools. You can install it with VM > Install VMware Tools.
I had to change the display resolution within the OS, though I thought it should have done that automatically

TortoiseSVN actions aren't appearing in the context menu after installing them

Using Windows 7 Ultimate on 64bits. Why isn't it showing? I can find tortoise svn in the start menu and when I launch it it says the application is a shell extension but it doesn't show.
I just installed this at work this morning and now I want to install it at home. Any help? Why won't it show? I have already rebooted my machine.
Did you install the 64-bit version?
You need 64 bit TortoiseSVN on 64 bit Windows because otherwise, its Explorer won't "see" Tortoise.
The best thing is actually to install both to make sure Tortoise works in the folder views of 32-Bit applications like IDE's, too.
Note that x64 users can install both the 32 and 64-bit versions side by side. This will enable the TortoiseSVN features also for 32-bit applications.
If you get the TortoiseSVN specific commands when right-clicking a file or folder in Explorer, it works.
Did you reboot? You need to restart explorer.exe
TortoiseSVN is a shell extension and not a regular desktop application like WinCVS. All commands are available from the Context menu. I suggest be first familiar with svn commands and how they work and then try to use the same commands through TortoiseSVN.
