If you’re here, then you had problem like this:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_TIME = “hr_HR.UTF-8″,
LANG = “en_US.UTF-8″
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (“C”).
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
user@computer:~$ /usr/bin/locale
/usr/bin/locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_NUMERIC=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_TIME=hr_HR.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_MONETARY=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_MESSAGES=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_PAPER=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_NAME=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_ADDRESS=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_TELEPHONE=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_MEASUREMENT=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_IDENTIFICATION=”en_US.UTF-8″
LC_ALL=
Solution is quite simple:
sudo /usr/sbin/locale-gen hr_HR.UTF-8
sudo /usr/sbin/update-locale LANG=hr_HR.UTF-8

Actually, very simple.
aptitude install seahorse seahorse-plugins
killall nautilus
Run seahorse and generate your PGP key and next time when you run nautilus, you’ll have a new option when pressed right click on file or folder – Encrypt…

Recently I installed Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) and everything worked fine until I made first upgrade. since then I had no sound. Solution is quite simple.
Btw. I assume that U have mediubuntu repositories installed.
sudo aptitude install alsa-firmware alsa-firmware-loaders linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic linux-backports-modules-’uname-r’
Last step was to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and /etc/modules.
After restart, everything should be working fine.

user@computer# aptitude install minicom
user@computer# sudo minicom -s
go to Serial port setup, press A and change Serial Device (in my case it’s /dev/ttyUSB0).
now, press E and change Bps/Par/Bits to 9600 8N1.
Choose Save setup as df1, and then Exit.
voila! you’re connected 
for extra configuration, you can edit /etc/minicom/minicom.users or simply use man minicom.

i got quite frustrated with kde4 and it’s bugs/memory overeating/crashing… so, i’ve decided to switch to lightweight xfce and optimize desktop machine a bit…
first, i did some tweaking as said here, then i managed startup programs with rcconf, improved my graphics as described here and finally found decent applications which helped me to forget about kde4
used before -> using now
kate -> geany
amarok -> exaile
firefox -> google chrome
kontact -> evolution
ktorrent -> transmission
konsole -> terminal
kwallet -> revelation
kopete -> empathy
krdc -> terminal server client
btw. if U think that xfce is ugly, make sure U visit xfce-look and deviantart – U will be amazed!
