Bluetooth on ubuntu

So, you have a bluetooth device, but when you click “search devices” ubuntu gives you this error:

obex://[mac:address]” is not a valid location.

I have the solution for you. Just open synaptic and search/install the following package:
gnome-vfs-obexftp
Now, search the devices again :)

Firefox adsl tweaks

If you have a fast connection, this is for you:

1. Type: about:config
2. Set:
network.http.max-connections : 96
network.http.max-connections-per-server : 32
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy : 24
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 12

network.http.pipelining : true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests : 8
network.http.proxy.pipelining : true

network.http.keep-alive.timeout : 30
network.ftp.idleConnectionTimeout : 60

nglayout.initialpaint.delay : 0

content.notify.ontimer : true
content.notify.interval : 100
content.switch.threshold : 100000
content.notify.backoffcount : 200
content.max.tokenizing.time : 3000000

browser.xul.error_pages.enabled :true

general.smoothScroll: false

browser.cache.disk.capacity : 76800

config.trim_on_minimize : false

You should now open pages a lot faster ;)
