A new version of MajorGeeks Windows Tweaks has been released.
This guide walks users through adding Kylin’s official PPA, updating Ubuntu 22.04, and installing the core Kylin components together with a minimal KDE Plasma desktop for lightweight window management. It explains why switching to this KDE‑like interface can revive performance on older hardware and details how to log out of GNOME, pick the Kylin session at login, and keep background services lean. The article also suggests removing unused GNOME packages and offers quick fixes for common hiccups such as missing modules or icon conflicts that may arise when mixing new desktop elements with an existing stack. In short, it provides a step‑by‑step recipe to replace the default GNOME desktop with Kylin while maintaining a clean, fast workflow.

The guide walks you through getting VMware Workstation 16 Pro up and running on RHEL 8 or CentOS 8, starting with a list of required hardware and software tools such as kernel‑headers, GCC, and root access. It covers downloading the installer bundle from VMware’s site, verifying its SHA‑256 checksum, making it executable, and then executing it in silent mode with your product key. The article also details common build failures—missing GCC or mismatched kernel headers—and offers quick fixes like installing development tools, ensuring header compatibility, or temporarily disabling SELinux. Finally, it explains how to enable the necessary services, launch a VM, troubleshoot typical issues, and points readers toward community forums if they hit unexpected roadblocks.
The guide explains how to install Memcached on Ubuntu 22.04 by first updating the system and then installing the memcached package from the universe repository, adding libmemcached‑dev only if client libraries are needed. It walks through editing /etc/memcached.conf to set memory limits, listening address, and connection parameters, and shows how to enable and start the service with systemd while noting that changes require a restart. A quick connectivity test with ss or telnet confirms Memcached is running on port 11211, and the article lists common issues such as port conflicts, insufficient RAM, and firewall restrictions. In short, it offers a concise, step‑by‑step method to get a reliable caching daemon up and running so that web applications can reduce database load and speed up page responses.
This guide walks you through installing the privacy‑first Brave Browser on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using only official Debian packages and a handful of terminal commands. It explains how Brave blocks ads, trackers, and fingerprinting out of the box and shares an anecdote about a user who switched from Safari after a driver hiccup, restoring smooth video playback without extra extensions. The steps are straightforward: add Brave’s GPG key, register the repository with a signed‑by entry, run apt update, install brave-browser, verify the version, and optionally pin the launcher to the dock for quick access. In short, the process mirrors any third‑party installation on Ubuntu—add a key, add a repo, update, and install—and Brave will stay current through regular APT updates that include security patches.
The guide walks a user through adding Microsoft’s Edge repository to Ubuntu 22.04 by first downloading and importing the GPG key, moving it into /usr/share/keyrings/, and then appending the signed‑by entry to the sources list so apt can verify packages. After updating the package database, it shows how to install the microsoft-edge-stable package, noting that this name differs from Snap or Flatpak versions and warning about possible GTK dependency conflicts on older systems. The tutorial also demonstrates launching Edge from the terminal, checking for permission issues, and offers troubleshooting steps such as fixing broken dependencies with apt --fix‑broken install or adding missing libraries like libxss1. Finally it mentions alternative installation methods using Snap or Flatpak for users who prefer sandboxed versions that avoid touching system libraries but may launch more slowly.
The article walks readers through installing the Mail Extension plugin in Jenkins and configuring global SMTP settings so that build alerts can be sent reliably to a team’s inboxes. It explains why email still matters—every machine has an inbox, so notifications arrive even if chat apps aren’t open—and offers detailed steps for setting up triggers like Failure, Unstable, or Success with customizable Groovy templates that embed job information and links to console logs. Common pitfalls such as authentication errors, blocked ports, and spam filtering are highlighted alongside troubleshooting tips that encourage testing the connection early and checking Jenkins logs for mail‑delivery problems. By following these instructions, teams can shift from chasing down silent failures to receiving timely alerts, freeing up time to focus on coding rather than debugging.
This article walks you through installing InvoicePlane on an Ubuntu 20.04 server, starting with updating the system and installing Apache, MySQL, PHP 7.4, and all the extensions that the application depends on. It then explains how to create a dedicated database user, clone the GitHub repository into the web root, set file permissions, and configure a virtual host so the software can be accessed through a custom domain name or local hostname. The guide shows you how to run the built‑in installation wizard to populate tables and create an admin account, while also offering optional HTTPS setup with Let’s Encrypt for public deployment. Finally, it lists common errors such as missing Composer dependencies or permission issues and provides quick fixes before concluding that you’re ready to start invoicing.

The post takes you step‑by‑step through setting up Matomo on Debian 11, starting with installing Apache, PHP and MySQL drivers, then creating a dedicated database user and fine‑tuning PHP limits to handle large analytics imports. It explains why each prerequisite matters—missing packages will trigger installer errors and an isolated database keeps your tracking data safe from accidental leaks. After downloading the latest Matomo archive, the guide shows how to adjust file ownership for Apache’s www‑data user, run the web wizard with the correct credentials, and harden the installation by disabling directory listing and encouraging HTTPS use. Finally, it reminds readers that keeping the codebase up‑to‑date via Git pulls brings performance fixes and new features, while offering troubleshooting tips such as checking virtual host configs or error logs if anything goes wrong.
