System running in low graphics mode (nVidia)

This problem can be occurred at two instances.
1. Fresh installation:

1. Download the driver from nVidia website
2. Copy the file to the disk. (It looks like "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17.run", depends on your version)
3. Now just type the following command from terminal:
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17.run
4. Follow the on-screen instructions and finally reboot.

2. Problem after upgrade:

1. Login into command prompt
2. Run the following command:
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.17.run
3. It will ask to delete previous installation. Accept all the prompts and also the one to edit xconf file.
4. Finally it will reboot and system boots normally.

After successful boot, you can configure your driver in the System>Preferences section.

Other work-arounds:
1. When prompted the low graphics mode, select the "Restart X" option. This will work in some cases. But every time you boot, perform the same.
2. Also try blacklisting "nouveau" (if you find 'nouveau' by running the command 'lsmod'). To do this, type the following command:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

This will open a document. Add this line at the bottom:

blacklist nouveau

3. Reboot to get some relief.

Ubuntu: Access a usb flash drive from the terminal

1. Find what the drive is called You'll need to know what the drive is called to mount it. To do that fire off: sudo fdisk -l You're looking for a partition that should look something like: /dev/sdb1 . Remember what it's called. 2. Create a mount point Create a new directory in /media so you can mount the drive onto the filesystem: sudo mkdir /media/usb 3. Mount! sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb When you're done, just fire off: sudo umount /media/usb Source: StackOverflow

Code for Php based online Treasure Hunt

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion bootable USB (without MAC)

Download the raw file from here . How to use: 1 - Copy the .raw file to an USB stick using SUSE Studio Image Writer . If you have error during copy, eject and re-connect the pen drive. When Windows asks if you want to format it, cancel and run Image Writer again. If the problem persists, disable your anti-virus software, it may be blocking raw write to the drive. Another Image Writer for Windows, if SUSE doesn't work https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download 2 - Boot the USB drive and install. If you need, type boot options , for example: -v (verbose boot) [default] -x (safe) -s (single user) GraphicsEnabler=yes (enable graphics card drivers) [default] USBBusFix=yes (fix problems with USB devices) npci=0x2000 (use if boot stops at "PCI configuration begin") cpus=1 If you need, use TransMac to remove kexts which are causing problems (System/Library/Extensions) and use the flag -f (ignore caches) at boot, or remove /System/Library/Ca
