UPDATE:
Iphone 3GS OS4, Ubuntu 10.4:
Same procedure (install blueman)
New:
- After successful installing blueman the blueman-symbol appears in the system-panel
- Rightclick the symbol and go to "Plugins"
- Make sure, the plugin "NMPANSupport" is enabled
- Ignore possible conflicts

1. Install some 32-bit libraries.
   (x)ubuntu
   sudo aptitude install ia32-libs lib32nss-mdns

   gentoo

   emerge ia32-libs lib32nss-mdns
2. Download cisco_opt.tar.gz (find below) and unpack it to /opt. After that you should have a directory /opt/cisco.
   
   wget http://guldener.net/sites/default/files/cisco_opt.tar_.gz
   tar -xzf cisco_opt.tar_.gz
   sudo mv cisco /opt/
3. Now, in order to get the libraries needed, download firefox for 32bit:
   Download it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html

    

To avoid error messages like

use this commands to proper unmount samba-filesystems on shutdown:

uncomment the following lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list to make the packages provided from canonical, which include acroread, available.

I found a tool to comfortably edit runlevels by console.

It's called sysv-rc-conf.

I just used it in kubuntu, but according to the description, it should also do the job in other distris. (gentoo doesn't work, tested it.)

Zuerst compiz installieren.
sudo aptitude install compiz

Danach aktivieren:
Systemeinstellungen - Standard Komponenten - Window Manager:
"Einen anderen Fenstermanager verwenden:" -> Compiz auswählen
-> Einrichten, Anwenden

Falls Compiz nicht aktiviert werden kann, muss eventuell geprüft werden, ob die Grafik-Hardware korrekt unterstützt wird. (Zv. nvidia-graphic chip Treiber müssen via "System - Hardware-Unterstützung" aktiviert werden.)

Wenn Compiz erfolgreich aktiviert werden konnte: Neu anmelden, fertig.

Quick and (very) easy installation of the USB-Modem Icon 225 on (k)ubuntu 9.04.

This site helped me the most and I just followed its short guide: http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/icon225.html

I will write a short summary here:

1. Download Software: http://www.equinoxefr.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/icon225.tgz
2. Execute install.sh in the extracted directory
3. After a reboot, open in the menu "Internet" the newly created Button "HSOConnect"

After updating my laptop from 8.10 to 9.04, my fonts of the panels in many programs was far to big and always looked bold.
Especially for thunderbird, but also for forms in firefox this was very annoying. (look screenshot)

What my problem solved:
Go to KDE-Start - System - System settings - Appearance
Then under "GTK-Styles and fonts" you have the ability to choose the GTK styles.
I just changed the "Use another style: QTCurve" to "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" and voilà.... that's it.

had absolutely no sound on two different hp laptops:
6830s / 6735b

for both this solved the problem:

add
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

then
sudo alsa force-reload

year, after 6mt, i have now sound on my laptop. :)
