Some apps do work with symbols in systray. For skype, dropbox thats in fact is working under unity. But some apps are simply not displayed. Eg. AeroFS

To allow every app to create a symbol in systray, give it a wildcard:

Execute dconf-editor (if not available, install it).
Set unity/panel/systray-whitelist to ['all']

Quit dconf, log off and on. Thats it.

This is my personal list of apps I install on (almost) every ubuntu-box...

Some hopefully helpful tipps for working with ubuntu on a lenovo thinkpad t420s.

• Thinkfan: http://guldener.net/blog/thinkfan_t420s
• Nvidia: Enable it in the bios. (Descrete)
• Nvidia: Fix brightness-bug on nvidia: Add 'Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"' to the device section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
• Dockingstation - Audio: Add at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=thinkpad

To mount nfs via /etc/fstab, use lines like that:
(you will have to install nfs-common)

#dateien
192.168.0.2:/home/sguldener/Dateien /home/sguldener/Dateien nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
#gocreative
192.168.0.2:/home/sguldener/gocreative /home/sguldener/gocreative nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr

Genious tool to recover data form formated partitions! (memory stick, memory card, normal harddisk partition with any fs-type!)

http://www.cgsecurity.org

My way to recover data from a memory card, formated by my digicam :)

• sudo ./photorec_static
• choose the partition where to restore the data -> proceed
• partition type, in most cases: Intel
• to be sure, choose "whole disk" :)
• file-system the files to restore were stored (other)
• give a directory where to store all files found
• go!
