I have recently installed Linux mint, and installed Spotify (the preview version). I have set up some manual media shortcuts (play, next, ...) which seem to work fine with Banshee, but not Spotify.
Anyone has a solution how to make Spotify work with keyboard shortcuts?
Thanks.
I have used this quite successfully: https://github.com/jreese/spotify-gnome
It is likely someone will have already packaged this for apt-get so it might be worth having a google for it before doing a manual install.

I want to run IOS Simulator on Windows 10.
Is there a way to do this?
I dont think its possible to get the iOS simulator working on Windows. But if you are willing to explore a dual boot setup, have patience (and a supported motherboard/processor), then you could use OpenCore or Clover to get a macOS running on your pc. This will give you access to the iOS simulator and the other xcode tools.
If you take this route then you should know that macOS doesnt support ntfs writes out the box. This means that if you decide to create a shared volume that both the mac and windows partition would read and write from, then you would either need a 3rd party ntfs drive (e.g. macfuse) or to format your volume to exFAT (this gave me the best results and was free)
If you intend to run the latest macOS I would recommend going with OpenCore. The latest Clover versions ports pieces of OpenCore to it, and finding documentation on configuring the new Clover was a hassle for me. If you are fine with running Catalina and using an older xcode (and thus older iOS simulator), then I would recommend giving tonymac tools a shot. Building the installer took with very little effort. You need an account to download the tools (this is free but they ask for motherboard/gpu model for community posts and verification that you can actually run their software)
Native testing of iOS apps is only possible on an Apple device. But there are some ways to overcome that.

According this tutorial, I should remove all HDDs I do not want to install chromium OS to during install. I wanted to try this guide on my imac using an external SSD for chromeos. Obviously, removing the HDD isn't an option. Will the chromiumOS installer format my mac drive too, if I don't remove it?
AS the writer of that tutorial I can hopefully help you. When you install Chromium OS to begin with you can specify where to install to if you know your unix commands well enough. and then from there you can update to Chrome OS once you have your external working for you.
To find out what your hard drive is when connected, open a terminal (you may need to use a developer terminal) and use the command "fdisk -l" This will list your hard drives. for example /dev/sda1 etc...
Your install command would be "Install /Dev/sda1" but replace the dev part with whatever your hard drive was listed as. If you need further help email me at admin#xiaorishu.co.uk
So I have Ubuntu 14.04 Installed on my system with a few "tweaks", mainly ccsm. I also have google chromium browser installed as well. I do a lot of work in the browser and usually have 10+ tabs open in my system.
I also like to use the multi-window (Workspace) and have 8 Workspaces (thus one of the reasons for ccsm).
Once I leave the computer and try to come back (before the screen locks), the computer is COMPLETELY frozen with my HDD running at very high speeds. I have a system monitor that monitors the CPU activity and HD activity and right before those things freezes, my RAM is at 100% and so is my HDD.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me FIGURE OUT what the problem is? I've been using ubuntu since '08 so I'm familiar with it. I just don't know where to start!
HELP!
I can not deal with the problem until I install the following packages as follows
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal
You could get the detailed reason from http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/hardware/random-freezes-integrated-hd-4000-graphics
Maybe you have to consider the Google Chrome or Chromium, whose two or more different Flash plugins conflict with each other, and the freeze problem disappear after you Disable the Flash plugins in the webpage opened by inputting
chrome://plugins
in the URL address of Chrome
Or another useful method of changing the chrome plugins is to uninstall the google-chrome completely,and then install the current chrome with newest flash plugin.
After all the above are done, the system need restart.
Hope it can help. Good luck!
I've bought windows 8 upgrade for my windows 7 pc. I've payed, downloaded, but unfortunatly, for the entusiasm of that moment, I haven't burned a dvd or usbkey for having the iso. Now, after two week I had a bsod after a synchronization with skydrive, and after this, my pc is "broken" (I've tryed everything) ...
So, now I want to do a reset but I haven't got the install dvd (I've already tried with a refresh but nothing usefull happens) . I've searched everywhere on web but is not clear what I have to do... (I'm not able to find any official download for win8 pro) I've bought my upgrade, but I can't reinstall it? It's strange and it sounds a little silly...
Any hint?
I had the same problem. Because you own the license, you can download a Windows 8 pro from "the internet" and install it with your key. Just be sure to download a official iso with a valid hash (it doesn't matter if you get it from unofficial sources).
Of course you can also call Microsoft for support, but the former solution is so easy.
With C#, you can create console apps. Well, do they run in Mono without X?
I know, this might be a dumb "Dude, just try it"-question, but the point is that I can't. I don't have any Linux installation right now, I'm going to use Mono to make a Raspberry Pi I'll order of use. Since the Pi's not here yet, I can't really try by myself.
Yes, you can definitely run console apps on Mono on the Raspberry Pi. That's what I use mine for, mostly :)
As an aside, I'd suggest installing the Arch distribution; at least when I installed mine, it had the most stable build of Mono under that environment. See my Google+ post for a few more details and some other handy tips from folks.
