You want to impress your friends with temporary Main screen with your own “Search screen”. I said temporary, because it’s only the one display, when you key in your ‘search key’ then it will go back to Google again.
How to do it?
Step 1. Goto www.pimpmysearch.com
Step 2. Enter your search screen’s ‘Title’.
Just enter your title in the ‘Enter your name’ text box then click ‘>>Create Now”.
Now you have your own Search Screen.

If you asked me, it’s the real step to fix the web cam problem? I will answer, I don’t know. I just found that it suddenly works.
At least if you know what I did before, it may work to you too.
But, I don’t want to put you on trouble if you fail. So, if you want to try, try it in your on risk.
There are 2 trials that I’ve done before.
First Test. Using original driver from Toshiba (failed)
First, I install ndiswrapper application because I don’t have it.
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Then I install my windows driver with Ndiswrapper.
You have to go back to your original Windows and copy the web cam driver files or may be you have to download from Toshiba website.

Done.
Now, I need an application to test it. So, I downloaded Camorama, it didn’t work. Still not recognized the video device.
Then I tried with EasyCam2, also did not work.
Finally, I tested with XawTV.
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ sudo apt-get install xawtv

When I tried with camorama, XawTV and easycam also did not work.
But, few weeks later, I don’t know why I can saw my face in my wecam with aMsn. Is chicony web cam only work with aMsn? I don’t know.
Then I double-click to have a chat with my friend.
To try to use my web cam.
I still don’t know the answer. But, it works.
Check the mic, it works.
That’s it. Any idea?

I bought Toshiba A205 because it has Intel 945 Intel Chipset and Intel Graphics Card which are compatible with Ubuntu with Compiz. The specification below is more than enough to run Gutsy with all its features.
Specification:
Processor : Inter Core Duo T2450
Ram : 1G
Hard disk : 120 GB
LCD : 15.4” WXGA
DVD : Super Multi Double Layer
Wireless : 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN
CAM : Built in
Mic : Built in
Speaker : Harman Cardon
When I run Gutsy live CD, the ‘extra Visual Effects’ from System > Preferences > Appearance could run.
Then I found the problems which are:
NOT WORKING
No sound (Intel Sound Card still not supported by Ubuntu) (fixed with ALSA driver). You will surprise that my Sound Card works better with ALSA, louder and more clear compare to its original driver for Vista. The problem is I still can’t control the volume via my Volume Switch.
Built-in Mic
Working with Skype 2.
No Modem
I don’t need it anyway. I use LAN & Wireless LAN
No Web Cam
Working with Skype 2 and aMSN.
Keyboard function keys.
The only key function (Fn) that work are Fn+F10 and Fn+F11. That’s why I have problem when I try to use external screen or Projector. I found that there is a program named Keytouch can fix it. Unfortunetly, there is no module for A205 yet. I’ve tried to use module for another toshiba type but not working.
Multimedia buttons
Volume (When I tried first installation with ALSA driver, it didn’t work. But when I re-installed my Ubuntu and installed with the same ALSA driver, it works.)
VGA output
Working. I’ve tested with few brands of Portable Projector.
WORKI/NG
Function key on Keyboard (Fn+F10 and Fn+F11)
Wireless LAN (restricted driver)
VGA card (rendering: NO), still can run compiz
USB
Ethernet card
Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)
DVD writer double layer.
MAYBE WORKING
Firewire
Not try yet.
PCMCIA
Not try yet.
S-Video output.
Not try yet.

As you’ve seen above, Ubuntu doesn’t recognize my modem. When I checked with aplay, it said that my modem is Si3054 Modem.
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$
May be, if I have time, I will fix the modem and post the solution. But not now, I don’t use it anyway. Dial up connection is too slow.
Well, finally after I fixed the problems, few devices which still not working are:
Function key
Multimedia buttons
Modem

I bought Linksys because the price is not too expensive and I’ve seen my friend use it with Linux. I choose Linksys WAP54G because that it was displayed at the store. There is no explanation that it can be run with Linux. The installation CD is only available for Windows. I though it’s ok, my friend use it so I’m sure that there will be no problem with me.
Then I called him, he said, “You can set it up using Web browser with IP address 192.168.1.1”. This is the default IP for most Linksys products. I turned on the device, plugged the network cable to my laptop, changed my IP address to 192.168.1.2, and test the connection with ping and got this message:
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
Mean that the default IP is different.
The only way to see the default IP is run with its CD installer and which I have to run it on windows. Lucky I still have my old PC that use XP. Finally, I found that the default IP is 192.168.1.245.
Set your IP address in the same subnet with Linksys IP.
First you set your have to set IP address in the same subnet with Linksys. If Linksys uses 192.168.1.245 then you can use from 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.244 or 192.168.1.246-192.168.1.254.
To change the IP, open System > Administration > Network > Wired Connection > Properties > Disable ‘enable roaming mode’, Static IP address > Fill 192.168.1.2 (at IP address) and 255.255.255.0 (at subnet mask).
Or
you can temporary change through Linux terminal, open Application > Accessories > Terminal type:
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

Well, everything is OK, now I can start to set the configuration using my Fire fox.
Before we go to that subject, I want to describe a bit about Linksys WAP54G that I use.
About Linksys WAP54G
Linksys WAP54G is product of Linksys-A division of Cisco System, Inc. It’s compatible with Wireless-B (802.11b) and Wireless-G (802.11g). Data rates up to 54Mbps in Wireless-G mode and up to 11Mbps in Wireless-B mode.
It has advanced wireless security 128-bit WPA encryption, MAC filtering and free trial of maximum security Linksys Wireless Guard WPA-RADIUS service. You can set Linksys as Access Point (default), AP client, Wireless repeater and Wireless Bridge.
For a note, when you set it as ‘AP client’ and ‘wireless bridge’ mode, this device will only communicate with another Linksys Access Point (WAP54G).
When you set to ‘wireless repeater’ mode, this device will only communicate with another Linksys Access Point (WAP54G) and Linksys wireless-G router (WRT54G).
Setting Linksys using Firefox
If you can connect to Linksys then open your web browser, type 192.168.1.245 in the URL and press Enter.
You will get a screen below if your are success.
DON’T FILL the user name, just go to ‘Password’ and put ‘admin‘ as a password then click ‘OK’.
Linksys doesn’t use user name as the default.
You will get a main screen below is your login is success.
Just change anything you want, click save, wait while the ‘Linksys’ Logo’ will blink to white color and go back to its original color after the setup has done.
To test the connection, choose the wireless network, open a Linux terminal and ping the Linksys.

Sometimes, when you visit a Linux blog, you see something like below:
Registered Ubuntu User #16660
Registered Linux User # 462798
What is it?
It’s the Ubuntu Counter Project which is like a miniature version of The Linux Counter. It aims to catalog the number of registered machines using the numerous variants of the Ubuntu Linux distribution.
Why? Because, quite simply, Ubuntu rocks.
To register your Ubuntu machines, simply register yourself as a user, and add your machines to your account.

I got this problem when I try to back up my data from my laptop today. Suddenly, I got not enough space message. FYI, my external Hard disk is Maxtor Personal One Touch 100GB.
So, I checked the hard disk space left.
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ cd /media
taufanlubis@toshiba:/media$ ls
cdrom cdrom0 Maxtor sda1 sda2
taufanlubis@toshiba:/media$ df -h Maxtor/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 94G 93G 367M 100% /media/Maxtor
taufanlubis@toshiba:/media$
Then I started deleting few gigabyte of my files to free up the space. I surprised because there was no change in Free Hard disk space (still 367M) at all. After searching for a few minutes with File Browser, finally I found out the problem which is a ‘Trash Bin‘ inside my Maxtor.
I though the Trash Bin is only one. Is it the default of Ubuntu? Don’t know yet.
I haven’t looking for the answer. Next time, may be.
Well, then I opened the .Trash-taufanlubis (trash bin directory), delete all the files inside.
Check the result.
taufanlubis@toshiba:/media$ df -h Maxtor/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 94G 61G 33G 66% /media/Maxtor
taufanlubis@toshiba:/media$
I got my space back.
