Some help about setting up moovida with ati remote wonder and lirc.

I just installed 9.04 release on my Acer Aspire 5500 and all was ok except the touchpad.

If you want it back, follow these instructions (in a terminal) :

sudo  pico /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf

Add this line in the file and save (CTRL-O / CTRL-X):

options psmouse proto=exps

Reboot or try the new setting with :

sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse

For example, you would like to change your root@localhost with admin@mydomain.com.

In /etc/postfix/main.cf, add :

canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical

In /etc/postfix/canonical, add :

root admin@mydomain.com

Then do :

postmap /etc/postfix/canonical

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

Seems to be an issue with this mouse since the version 9.04: even though gnome bluetooth interface can scan the device, the paring is not done.
Solution: install backward compat packages:

sudo apt-get install bluez-compat

Then put your mouse in paring mode and:

sudo hidd -s

If you want to be in French UTF8 :

export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8

Since Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid, no need to compile, juste type:

sudo apt-get install convlit

Usage:

clit crippled-book.lit ./free_html_folder/

Enjoy

sudo apt-get install convtlit

Usage:

clit crippled-book.lit ./free_html_folder/

Enjoy
