Lyx IEEE Journal and Conference layout

Posted on March 20, 2010 by ergut

These are the steps I followed to use IEEE formatting in Lyx:

Create IEEEtran directory
Download the latex file IEEEtran2.tar.gz from IEEE site and extract
Create a subdirectory named “bibtex”
Download the bibtex file IEEEtranBST1.tar.gz from the same IEEE site to this directory and extract
For Ubuntu, move IEEEtran directory to /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/ and run texhash (requires sudo)
Run Lyx->Tools->Reconfigure and restart Lyx.
You should be able to select IEEEtran from Document Settings.

How to switch desktops on Ubuntu

Posted on May 2, 2008 by ergut

This is how I switched my desktop from Xubuntu to Ubuntu. Different combinations are done with a similar approach. See the reference below for a detailed explanation.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu
sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so
- Select artwork for the boot and shutdown screens, enter the following two commands in a Terminal window:
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
- However both Ubuntu & Xubuntu uses gdm, following step will resolve this problem
sudo gdmsetup
- If this fails to launch a GUI window, first run sudo su and then type gdmsetup
- Go to “Local” tab and select the Ubuntu theme

When you logon next time do not forget to select the “gnome” as the current session.

In my case compiz caused Ubuntu to consume a lot of CPU power so I uninstalled it:

sudo apt-get –purge remove compiz* libcompizconfig*

Secure VNC with SSL

Posted on April 1, 2008 by ergut

A detailed explanation of how to make VNC work over SSL can be found here. Reading that and the e-mail discussions here, I’d like to summarize the procedure:

SERVER

Create the certificate stunnel.pem (Follow the instructions given at the link above)
Run VNC server: vncserver :5
Create a secure tunnel: stunnel -d 5950 -r 5905 -p /path/to/stunnel.pem
Download the source code of x11vnc. Copy the VncViewer.jar and SignedVncViewer.jar into a folder accessible by the webserver, e.g. “/vnc“

Create an index.html file with the following content (replace YOUR-HOSTNAME with your hostname):

<html>
<body>
<applet code="VncViewer.class" archive="VncViewer.jar" width="800" height="600">
<param name="PORT" value="5950" />
<param name="HOST" value="YOUR-HOSTNAME" />
<param name="Open New Window" value="no" />
<!-- the following helps in Opera:
<param name="Cursor shape updates" value="Disable" />
-->
</applet>
</body>
</html>
