Change Keyboard Layout into Arabic with Terminal Commands in Linux

Leave a comment

We can easily change our keyboard layout in Linux by Terminal commands. It is easier and faster at many times compared to GUI. You can change layout by just up or down arrow key. Remember, many cases happened when people change their layouts and they can’t revert them back. Avoid it by number 1 step below.

1. Set Default Layout

Yes, you must do command for default layout first (US) or you will find difficulty to revert the setting into default again.

setxkbmap  -layout us

 

2. Set Arabic Layout

We have ‘parent language’ (Arabic) and also ‘children language’ as variant/dialect (Buckwalter etc.).

setxkbmap -layout ara

To set Arabic with Buckwalter variant, use this command:

setxkbmap -layout ara -variant buckwalter

Note: Buckwalter is an Arabic variant which has similar result with Multikey program on Windows while you may type A for ALIF, B for BA’, T for Ta’ (phonetically associated keys), and so on. Buckwalter variant helps us to write Arabic easily without any additional tool.

3. Revert Layout to Default

To revert your layout into default, call previous command. That’s why you should do the first command before. Use up arrow key on Terminal so you can call the previous commands and choose

setxkbmap  -layout us

Disable Ubuntu Update Notification

Leave a comment

For several users, it is annoying to see system update notification every day. You may disable it easily. Warning, update is important for security matters. You will do this with your own risk.

 

  1. Open Ubuntu menu.
  2. Search for Software & Updates.
  3. Open Updates tab.
  4. Change into Never for Automatically check for updates entry.

This configuration will forbid the system to check any update available. So, it disables update notification.

Add Right-Click Convert and Resize Images in Nautilus

Leave a comment

In Dolphin, by using an extension, I can do right-click to convert bulk PNG images into JPEG or any format. This is very effective (I use it very intensely) for my graphic design works. But how about Nautilus? Sure, you can do the same thing. You will need to install programs nautilus-image-converter (resizer) and nautilus-image-tools (converter). nautilus-image-converter created by GNOME team and nautilus-image-tools created by Atareao Team. Thank you!

Install The Resizer

To do this, install nautilus-image-converter from Ubuntu repository. I’m using Ubuntu 15.04 and the package is already there. Install it using Ubuntu Software Center or by Terminal:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-image-converter

Install The Converter

To do this, install nautilus-image-tools from unofficial repository. Atareao has created that unofficial in Launchpad PPA. Use these commands: Continue reading Add Right-Click Convert and Resize Images in Nautilus →
