new wordpress design rocks. i just upgrade myself and it is awesome. if you have a wordpress blog you should upgrade yourself to the latest version.
university of phoenix will be incorporating thisd december 19, 2008 the new Gmail email interface. we will not longer be using their hosted email service. now with Gmail we will have more freedom to use outlook and other email clients applications.
i think this would be nice becuase now i could have outlook or thunderbird as my mail client to send and received emails at all time. before i wasn’t using their email system but now if they are going to be incorporating this then i gues that i’ll use my uop more than before.
so after installing ubuntu in my desktop i started to install windows xp on a virtual machine. yes, i am running away from BLUE SCREENS and VIRUSES, why wouldn’t you?! well anyways… i needed my iTunes to run propertly and be able to sync with my iPod. i got it work worh with my library and THANK God that i make backups :). well i thought that after enableling my usb drive and pluging my ipod and telling my itunes that my ipod is connected it was going to work propertly, but guess what!!! it didn’t.
so there was a extra special step that i had to take and it was pretty easy. i shutted down my virtual machine and open up virtualbox program. went to the windows xp settings, and then to usb. in the usb i connected my ipod and waited until my ubuntu system recognized my ipod and then added the ipod to the filters. this will allow my ipod to be recognized by windows before my ubuntu system. pretty clever ah!
and that would be it… now my ipod works like if there was a sole windows os installed. hope this helps to anybody.
this small tutorial will illustrate how to have your usb working with virtualbox. virtualbox has the usb support disable by default. if you want to have your usb to work properly with virtualbox you would have to perform the following steps.
this tutorial applies for ubuntu 8.10. but it might work with other distros.
steps:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh“#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs “” /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
#mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
change it to
#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work

mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs “” /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1000,devmode=664 0 0you are almost done. now reboot your computer and you should be good to go.
