Sep05Gimp Image Editor not launching in KUbuntu – resolved
I recently had installed Gimp image editor in my KUbuntu through software management interface. After the installation was done i clicked the Gimp icon to launch it and the system did seem to try to load it but eventually it failed. However if i tried “gimp” command in “Konsole” it would load it (with a number of “failed” messages in the console window) but when i worked on a image for few seconds it would crash abruptly.

Aug03Adding php syntax highlight support to more extensions in gedit
Locate php.lang file and edit it
locate gtksourceview | grep /php.lang
Now i did
sudo gedit /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/php.lang as location of my php.lang file was /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/
In php.lang file look for <property name="globs">*.php;*.php3;*.php4;*.phtml</property> or similar and add more file extenstions separate with semicolon (;). I added *.ctp, *.tpl, *.module to make it look like <property name="globs">*.php;*.php3;*.php4;*.phtml;*.ctp;*.tpl;*.module;</property>. Save the file and restart gedit. Files with newly added extension should load syntax highlighting automatically.

Jul12Drupal “disk quota per user has been reached” settings
When a certain number of uploads is reached Drupal would show errors, something like this:
“The selected file cannot be attached to this post, because the disk quota of 7 MB has been reached”

Such kind of file upload quota errors can be fixed by increasing the maximum upload quota per user. It is as simple as doing the following:
In Drupal prior to 5.0, set the appropriate values at Administer -> Settings -> Upload
In Drupal newer or equal to 5.0 do the same as above at Administer -> Site Configuration -> File Uploads.
