One of the most requested feature by ubuntu users, is the ability to move unity launcher to the bottom, this is become possible with the release of Unity Bottom Launcher (Unity Plugin Rotated) an unoficial compiz plugin that allow you to move the Launcher to the bottom of Ubuntu Desktop (See screenshot bellow).

 

 

 Install Unity Bottom Oneiric Launcher on Ubuntu 11.10

Open terminal and enter the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paullo612/unityshell-rotated 
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install unityshell-rotated libnux-1.0-0 compizconfig-settings-manager

Once installed launch the Compiz Settings Manager (CCSM) from the dash and check  Ubuntu Unity plugin Plugins Rotated.

-  To revert the changes :

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:paullo612/unityshell-rotated
sudo apt-get remove unityshell-rotated

That` s all.

    its “so hard” because ubuntu guys don’t care about your request to move it. you either have it their way or you hack it yourself. bit disappointing they don’t care what the community thinks,

    • Immanuel George

      becos ubuntu is free

    • John Smith

      You’re not ‘hacking’ it yourself. You have to realize that this is Linux we’re dealing with, everything is technically customizable if you know how to code.

    I would like to add my name to those who would not only like to see a port, but would be willing to help out!

Did you add the IP range(Not ip address) in your cacti.conf file? If yes, check your apache log files. You may find the errors. Good luck.

I have been searching for a solution to that problem too but with videos. I can’t see anyway to make VLC do this. And nobody can tell me how.
However, I did find a media player called Movist that does it. I will never understand why VLC, the best in my opinion, does not design this feature into their player.

it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,

it is using strong encryption.

but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI

And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.
