Disable touchpad in Ubuntu 11 04 Natty Narwhal
Disable touchpad in Ubuntu 11 04 Natty Narwhal
One of the most irritating things I have experienced in Ubuntu 11.04 was the inability to disable touchpad. Though my laptop has a hardware button to toggle touchpad, it never worked in Ubuntu. When I was typing something, in most occasions an accidental touch of the touchpad caused the cursor to move somewhere else and part of the typed text ended up in nowhere.
But later I found this amazing little program called touchpad-indicator which can REALLY toggle touchpad status in Ubuntu. To install it use the following commands on terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator |

Disable Directory Listing in Apache on Ubuntu 14 04 but should work in other versions as well
Disable Directory Listing in Apache on Ubuntu 14 04 but should work in other versions as well
If you are a newbie to setting up a web server on Ubuntu by yourself, you might have encountered this as I do:
This is called Directory Listing in Apache server settings. And this is turned on by default.
To check if you have this problem, try to visit a directory in your apache server location with a browser, such as : localhost/someFolder
If you see something similar to the above photo, you got this problem as well.
While it might not be a huge security problem to your site, it certainly makes you not comfortable, and it is also not a very pleasant experience for users to crash into your directory like this.
However, it is actually very easy to turn it off in Ubuntu, here is how.
1. Open Nautilus (Ubuntus default file explorer,) as root in terminal using this command:
sudo nautilus
2. Then, navigate to /etc/apache2
3. From there, you will find a file named :
apache2.conf
4. Open apache2.conf with your favorite text editor.
5. Find this line: ( there are actually two lines of these, ones under <Directory /var/www/>, and another one is under <Directory /srv/>, for now, we will work on the former one since thats where our website is in.)
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
6. Remove Indexes from this line, so that it will look like this
Options FollowSymLinks
7. Save the file, open a terminal then restart apache.
sudo service apache2 restart
And we are done, try to visit a directory under your web var/www in a browser, and you will get a 403 forbidden error.

Changelog Since Digikam 5.2.0 :
After a 3rd release 5.2.0 published more than one month ago, the digiKam team is proud to announce the new release 5.3.0 of digiKam Software Collection. This version introduces an important common solution to deploy the application under Linux using AppImage bundle.
AppImage is an open-source project dedicated to provide a simple way to distribute portable software as compressed binary file, that standard user can run as well, without to install special dependencies. All is included into the bundle, as last Qt5 and KF5 frameworks. AppImage use Fuse file-system, which is de-compressed into a temporary directory to start the application. You dont need to install digiKam on your system to be able to use it. Better, you can use the official digiKam from your Linux distribution in parallel, and test the new version without any conflict with one used in production. This permit to quickly test a new release without to wait an official package dedicated for your Linux box. Another AppImage advantage is to be able to provide quickly a pre-release bundle to test last patches applied to source code, outside the releases plan.
The bundle include main 3rd-party libraries used by digiKam as Lensfun, OpenCV, and Exiv2. All are optimized for digiKam, and without extra or experimental configurations which can crash the application in special cases.
The simple way to use the digiKam AppImage is to download the right file for your system (32 bits or 64 bits), to make it executable, and to run it. See AppImage documentation if you need more information about.
With the continuous help of Wolfgang Scheffner, The digiKam handbook have been updated again and is available on-line at digiKam. All help are welcome to contribute on user manual, by writing sections, proof-reading, translating, etc.
For furher information, take a look into the list of more than 40 files currently closed in Bugzilla. A special thanks to Maik Qualmaan who improve code everywhere.
