A blog about anyInput, experiences running it, and thoughts about my day job

Lately, I upgraded my Operating System with the KDE Desktop, although all I want before is to change my Gnome Ubuntu theme but while surfing, I’ve read a site that suggests me to install a KDE Desktop which I did, and the installation lasted for at most 30 minutes through Ubuntu’s terminal

sudo apt-get install kubuntu desktop

the new desktop looks like the proud Windows Vista from Microsoft, from the widgets down to its features, it has a lot of similarities compared to the latter Operating System. Anyway, back to my problem with the Mozilla Firefox, this said Internet browser works very well with Kubuntu, but there is a bit problem, since I manages sites such as My anyInput Page, My anyAssets Page, My anyInfos Page, My anyHotels Page, My anyInv Page, and My anySupply Page I need a faster browsing experience, so while doing this, I noticed that Mozilla Firefox hangs up, although I have disregarded this occurrences at first whenever I go login to my yahoomail account thinking it just happen for any reason, but I cannot afford to be delayed in managing the above listed pages. Good thing there is an alternative Internet Web Browser Kubuntu has to offer, it is called the Konqueror, and this is currently what I am using in writing this blog post. However, I will still go back to Mozilla later when I go doing web development codings since there are a lot of things I need to consider in developing sites with the Firefox, Konqueror can also be used to display output on web development codes but Mozilla is the most used Internet browser that is I need to get back into it later. Anyway, I hope I could find some answers regarding my little problem with this stuff. Get back to you later. By the way, I am posting below the images of both Mozilla Firefox, Konqueror and the Kubuntu Desktop as well so that you will have an idea on how is it going on with me here.

So, I have my laptop and I am bringing it in the office. But as time goes by, I realized that I might over use my laptop’s screen, since LCD screens have lower lifespan compared to the CRT (Desktop Screen/Monitors). I am bringing my laptop at office, because all of my important documents and accounts are stored on it, so there is no choice left for me. One day, it came to my mind why not use the company’s desktop while using my laptop, in that way, I could save my laptop LCD’s life while still use my laptop efficiently. So, how did I temporarily disabled my laptop screen and utilize that of the company’s?

Doing this in Windows Operating System is just in a blink of an eye, same as with the Linux environment but is more secured, well that is the essence why I decided of having an Ubuntu software to govern my machine.

So, I will make the procedures in step by step way on How To Utilize Desktop Monitor Instead of Laptop’s LCD

1. Connect your CRT data cable to the laptop’s extended video port.
2. Start your Ubuntu Operating System.
3. Log-in to your account.
4. When you are already logged - on, Click on the System > Preferences > Screen Resolution menus.
5. On the Screen Resolution Settings Window, uncheck the Mirror Screens checkbox. Then you will see the current monitors being used by the system, both (CRT and Laptop) monitors are displayed since you are connected currently to them.
6. Click on the Laptop (your screen viewable measurement), i.e: Laptop 14″ , then click on the “Resolution” menu item and set it to “Off” using the drop down menu .
7. Your Laptop screen is now disabled.

** If you want to bring the display back to your Laptop LCD, follow steps 4 until 6 and set the “Resolution” to your desired values from the drop down menu i.e.: 1024 x 768, etc.

Enjoy the tweak! More on other tweaks later.
