6.10 Edgy Eft

Changelog for « Z » Ubuntu:
1. install modem access (see ubuntu 101) [update : I have since move to DSL country so, no more dialup for me. See Internet access problems solved – IPv6-related somehow for an interesting hack I found necessary for the French provider free.fr]
2. edit sources.list (using Sources.list generator)
3. upgrade to firefox 1.5 2.0.0.1
4. enable « close tab with middle button » fonction (as explained here [fr], or on kb [en])
5. install official (but unbundable) firefox buttons edit: frankandjack is gone, use this thread
6. installed pdf avec cups
7. installed the « numeric pad on at startup » patch
8. installed printers
   • Update = Install a Canon LBP-1120 printer on Ubuntu 6.06
   • Canon i850 using the generic i7000 driver shipped with Ubuntu (tried also the Canon drivers as described here, but does’nt works. i7000 is fine) [better way,see above post]
   • Canon LBP1120 (with Nicolas Boichat’s CAPTS driver). One problem not solved: I have to clear the printer queue by hand otherwise it is stuck (and keeps printing the first document in the queue everytime I start the session!). Another problem not yet identified seems to be pdf-printing related…

10. installed thunderbird (see here how-to)
11. installed dual screen

3. switch to Dapper Drake 6.04 Feisty Fawn 7.04 (I switched to 6.04 months ago !)
4. Improve Firefox (using Howto: Tweaking Firefox! – Ubuntu Forums as a base)
