Quick Tip #1

Disable Overlay Scrollbars in GNOME
For Ubuntu 12.10, open a terminal and type the following command:

gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal

Changes should occur instantly. The overlay scrollbars should now be replaced with normal scrollbars.

For Ubuntu 12.04, use the following command:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars false

Log out and log back in for changes to occur.

Quick Tip #2

Mount an ISO Image from Command-Line

sudo mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /path/to/empty/dir

Notice that /path/to/empty/dir must exist and should be empty.

Quick Tip #3

Find Out Current GNOME Version
For GNOME:

gnome-shell --version

For the Compiz window manager, use:

compiz --version
