Everyone is welcomed to pick it up and continue the work. im sorry, i just cant do it now. please, read the readme file.

Tired of a broken package system after upgrading using dselect or aptitude? Buddy is a hardcore Debian package handler reduced to its essential functions. Buddy is not intended as replacement for the common Debian package manager
Buddy is a tiny, fast, and proper Debian package handler which acts as a wrapper to apt-get and dpkg.
Every command is shown before it is executed. It has the ability to backup the package setup and simulate package manipulations (dry run).
Main features:
- package maintenance (backup, diagnostic, audit, cleanup, renew, repair)
- package information (find/search, details, status, list, count)
- package manipulation (install, uninstall, remove, purge, configure)
Advantages:
- failover safe - simulate sensitive package manipulations (dry run)
- more secure - backup your package-setup to be more reversible
- faster - no packagelist loading at startup
- more transparent - every command is shown before executed
- completely shell based - no curses or other libraries needed
Enhancements:
- This is a work in progress snapshot.

Sidebar Icons is an extension which adds Bookarks, History N Downlaods icons in sidebar title bar.

To report bugs, extension incompatibility quick troubleshooting, and help please use the forums. Please dont use reviews for bugs and such, that what bug reports for.

And dont simply say "does not work", it been tested and works for most, there too many theme/extension combinations to test all, which brings me back to bug reports.

The SVG Icons project provides SVG icon themes for desktop environments, including KDE and GNOME. They provide high rendering quality due to anti-aliasing, and reduce the amount of disk space required.

SVG Icons project has a goal to provide Open-Source reference implementation of SVG icon themes for leading Linux and UNIX Desktop Environments, in particular (but not limited to) KDE3 and GNOME2 Desktop environments.

SVG implementation for icons and other User Interface elements provides better rendering quality (due to extensive usage of anti-aliasing), reduces amount of disk space used, and decreases download time for icon themes over the web.

Developing icons in SVG also dramatically reduces development cycle, and allows to deliver results quickly, in prompted timeframe.

Bug Buddy is a graphical bug reporting tool. It can extract debugging information from a core file or crashed application (via gnome_segv).
Application Options:
--name=NAME Name of contact
--email=EMAIL Email address of contact
--package=PACKAGE Package containing the program
--package-ver=VERSION Version of the package
--appname=FILE File name of crashed program
--pid=PID PID of crashed program
--core=FILE Core file from program
--include=FILE Text file to include in the report
--kill=KILL PID of the program to kill after the report
--display=DISPLAY X display to use
Enhancements:
- Removed status bar
- Lock some text on the report
- Detect sensitive words (regarding privacy) on the report and add a warning and highlight them
- Lot of UI and strings clean ups (Dennis Cranston and Andre Klapper)
- Fix leaks
- Dont submit reports with less than 3 steps in the trace
- Do not block the UI while gdb is working!
- Reworked the email check code (Alex Jones)

Menu Buddy plugin currently comprises a couple of Python scripts for creating GNOME panel menus from a directory hierarchy of music files.
These menus can be used to play or enqueue songs in XMMS, as well as pause or skip XMMS.
These scripts are not terribly powerful yet, but there is potential for a signficantly more flexible system of menu-creation that allows automatic construction of many different kinds of menus based on directory hierarchies.
menu_buddy is a small script for scanning a hierarchy of music files and creating a set of Gnome menus that can direct xmms to play those files. Instead of going through the command line or whatever, menu_buddy lets you play/enqueue files in xmms straight from your menu. I find this pretty convenient.
The command line for menu_buddy is as follows:
menu_buddy < source dir > < dest dir >
where:
< source dir >: The top of a hierarchy of directories containing the files
< dest dir >: The top of a directory to write the menu files into
menu_buddy works with the assumption that you have your music stored under one main music directory, using some meaningful hierarchy, and that theres only music stored down there. menu_buddy doesnt do any sort of file-type checking and assumes that everything under is fair game for playing in xmms.
What menu_buddy does it this: it constructs a menu hierarchy that directly matches the hierarchy under such that any directory or tree thereof can be played or enqueued in xmms. Likewise, at the top of the menu structure, it creates menu option which allow you to pause, start, or skip forward/backward in xmms. The interaction with xmms is purely in terms of command line options that you can pass to xmms...there is no special linking or whatever.
So, for example, lets assume you have all of your music in under the directory "/music", with top-level folders for different genres (i.e. /music/rock, /music/polka, etc.). Inside each genre, you have your files sorted first by artist, then by album (i.e. /music/rock/faith_no_more/the_real_thing, /music/polka/the_polka_kings/greatest_hits). The organization you have is really unimportant, but bear with me here.
Further, lets assume that your system lets you create new gnome menus by putting menu files in ~/.gnome/apps (this is how things work on my system, but honestly Ive done next to zero research into this topic...it may vary (wildly) on your system, so I suggest you figure it out for yourself). Then, the following command will create a new menu hierarchy in your "favorites" menu called "Muzik" which allows you play/enqueue your music:
menu_buddy /music ~/.gnome/apps/Muzik
Thats it. It may take a few seconds to churn through your music files, depending on other system load and how much music you have. You need to be able, of course, to write to the output directory you specify, but since it will typically be in your home directory this should not be a problem.
Enhancements:
- added GPL stuff to source files

Backup Buddy is a set of scripts which make versioned, disk-to-disk, backups via rsync easy. Backup Buddy will allow you to set up disk-to-disk backups that happen automatically.
I hate tapes. Theyre messy, time-wasting, and nowadays, surprisingly expensive. Dont forget unreliable and inconvenient.
In my experience, if somebody has to be made to swap tapes routinely, then backups generally just arent done routinely.
Ive been using rsync for some time to mirror my primary webserver to a backup server on an independent network, to cover things in a worst-case scenario.
After trying a few other options, and not finding anything truly "good enough" for real backups, I wrote Backup Buddy.
Main features:
- Uses rsycs hard link option to provide incremental backups on spinning media. No special software should need to be installed on any recent *nix distro.
- Notifies administrator by email when errors have been detected.
- Fault tolerant - if it "goes offline" and backups arent performed for a while, it should "start working" gracefully and automatically.
- No special setup beyond defining a config file should be required to get a new account running.
- Fault aware - if something goes wrong, it should alert an admin. (by email)
- Good logging - a quick preview of the log file(s) should tell everything thats going on.
- Easy to configure - Somebody new to its use should be able to set it up in < 10 minutes once deps are met.
- Disk Space Handling: You can define a threshold of max image size space to keep free.
- Web page for quick and easy access to reports on backup statistics. (Coming soon)

Amarok has a built-in function for setting the icon for folders (the one that displays in Konqueror etc) to be the cover image for the album it contains. However, it only works if you let it recognize your music.

Amarok Folder Icons script will scan the current directory and sub directories for music, and set all the folder icons where it can determine that the folder contains tracks from just one album.

This works best if you store your albums in a flat structure e.g.

/path/to/your/music/artist name - album name/

Installation:

Copy the script to your main music directory, and make it executable:

At a terminal:

$ chmod +x make_amarok_folder_icons.py

Usage:

At a terminal:

$ cd /to/your/music/folder
$ ./make_amarok_folder_icons.py
