Getting the NVIDIA driver on K Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

Sun, 02/05/2010 - 18:11 — shantanu

I recently installed Kubuntu 10.04 LTS and loved the fast boot time, but there was this NVIDIA proprietary driver not working properly. I was not able to use all possible resolutions and the picture was buggy. After some time Googling, I just tried to launch the NVIDIA settings which suggested to run nvidia-xconfig to update the X configuration. I did it and it worked perfectly!

Hope this helps smiley

How to use ssh keys to make password-less logins

Wed, 25/11/2009 - 16:26 — shantanu

I regularly connect to my father's Ubuntu PC using ssh to help or to transfer files through scp. I have been using ssh keys to make these logins password-less and I thought the method needs a blog post :)
Generally a user can have two keys - a private key and a public key which we generate using the following process and then copy the public key to the remote machine. Remember, don't give anyone your private key.
