In part 1, wired USB tethering is explained. In this part 2, we will continue with wireless bluetooth tethering. Wireless tethering in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) First, you need to pair the mobilephone to the Ubuntu PC. Once bluetooth pairing is completed, keep the mobilephone’s bluetooth in “visible mode” for the remaining of the steps [...]
This post is a follow up to Ubuntu Hardy Heron Nokia N95 as 3G modem. In particular, this post will describe how to set-up mobile broadband tethering from Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) to a Nokia N95 mobilephone. More than two years have passed since Ubuntu Hardy, with the corresponding improvements. With Ubuntu Lucid, the set-up [...]
This is a follow up to the post I wrote two years ago about bluetooth pairing in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. Actually, I have my eeePC 900 running Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 for two years straight, almost 6 months past the end of life of that release. Recently, however, I decided it’s time to upgrade to [...]
I posted this article two years ago in ubuntu.sg website. Sadly, the site has since been taken down. However, I believe this article still has some value as Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 has not reached end-of-line yet. Therefore, I am reposting the article here. Background There are two ways of using a telecom’s 3G mobile network [...]

However, this requires knowing the application’s window ID. How do I find the application’s window ID, using only it’s process [...]
Prior to Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10), setting up internet connection sharing (ICS) is relatively tedious and not so straightforward. There were a few methods available, some which were described here. Intrepid shipped with Network Manager 0.7, which made it considerably easier to configure for ICS. The instructions in this post explained setting up ICS in [...]
In the previous post here, I tried to solve running EvilApps in VirtualBox in my eeePC with Intrepid Ibex. I was initially hopeful because the installation of a WinXP guest machine was successful. Furthermore, the freshly booted WinXP virtual machine was surprisingly spiffy. I thought I have conceived a foolproof way to avoid loading the [...]
I have an interesting experience recently. I attended a two-hour training on how to use EvilApps. It’s pretty silly, but I have two hours to kill and I was too lazy to explore the software myself. I have also been cooped up in my apartment for too long and need to get some sun. I [...]
