Technical Rockabilly

I login after a backports update to Compiz and my window decoration isn’t working! I found that gtk-window-decorator was failing to load, so the work-around I found was to go to System>Preferences>Sessions, and add a new entry for:

gtk-window-decorator

Now my close maximize and minimize buttons are there again… Odd..

I’ve been using Hugin for a couple years now, and its saved me hundreds of hours of work. Creating a great panorama is hard without a tool like Hugin, or Photoshop. With Hugin, you have greater control, and some really inteligent code to get the job done a lot faster than Photoshop. Most the time its really as easy as 1, 2, 3. Load the images, let it chug away and align them, then export the picture.

Here is the UI, its pretty damn simple:

Here are a few panoramas I’ve made with just Hugin. It wouldn’t take more than 10 minutes post work to get them looking perfect. Click the photos below to see the full size images.

Step 1: Install wine

sudo apt-get install wine

Step 2: Download and Install the PC version of World of Warcraft.. Nothing special you need to do to install it other than opening the installer with wine.

Step 3: Edit /”World of Warcraft Directory”/WTF/Config.wtf

Add these two lines:

SET gxApi “opengl”
SET SoundBufferSize “70″

Step 4: Run WOW!
