To disable downloading translations, create a file named /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99translations & put the following in it:
|
1 |
Acquire::Languages "none"; |
You may also need to remove existing translation files in /var/lib/apt/lists/
I personally just empty the lists folder and do an apt-get update

Finder on Mac OS X Lion by default is always showing “All My Files” on every new window. Well to be honest not even once I found it useful, never used it since the first install.
Even if you are a geeky Terminal fan, there are always times that you start up Finder, and you need to get faster to your important files. Most of the times I am looking for something in the Documents folder/subfolders, so here is how I have set it as the default Finder directory:
Go to Finder, main menu -> Finder -> Preferences… -> General -> and select your favorite folder in “New Finder windows show” option as shown in the screenshot below.
You can also remove “All My Files” from the Finder’s sidebar as well, just right-click and remove it, or uncheck it from Preferences -> Sidebar.

Mac: Usually, if you want to find out what’s playing in iTunes, you either need to right-click the icon or open it. Macworld found a method that only requires a little work in Terminal to enable a small pop-up on your dock showing the currently-playing track.The process is simple, but only works in OS X Lion. First, boot up Terminal in your Utilities folder on a Mac, then, type:
|
1 |
defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE;killall Dock |
Now, when you’re playing a track a small pop-up will show in your dock for a few seconds with information on the currently-playing track. If you decide you don’t like it, disabling it is simple. Back in Terminal, type:
|
1 |
defaults delete com.apple.dock itunes-notifications |
For ways to customise the pop-up, hit up the post linked below.

I have been doing quite a bit of Mac OS X Image work lately and have found DeployStudio to be THE best FREE and easy to customise solution for doing this.
One thing i wanted to do was change the default wallpaper for the DeployStudioRuntime.nbi that is created and used as a windows Pre Environment equivalent.
I achieved this by going into the DeployStudioRuntime.nbi folder located on the server at:
|
1 |
/Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0 |
I then mounted the ‘DeployStudioRuntime.sparseimage’ file and then navigated to the bellow folder inside the image and replaced the file ‘DefaultDesktop.jpg’ with my custom wallapper.
|
1 |
/System/Library/CoreServices |
I made sure the image i created was a high res image to make it look nicer.
