To rise sound quality of PulseAudio (default sound engine on Gnome) to a high level :
In /etc/pulse/daemon.conf :
resample-method = src-sinc-best-quality high-priority = yes default-sample-channels = 2 default-sample-format = float32le default-sample-rate = 48000 default-fragments = 8 default-fragment-size-msec = 5
Then kill pulseaudio (it will respawn by itself) :
pulseaudio -kCelogeek !

Firefox 3.5.3 final is ready for Jaunty !
To use it :
sudo apt-get install firefox firefox-3.5 cd /usr/bin sudo ln -sf firefox-3.5 firefox
Close all firefox, and run it again.
If you wonder why I install firefox 3.0 and 3.5 in the same time, it’s because of missing search motor on firefox 3.5. So like this, both have it.
Celogeek !

Here the method to compile yourself the last version of Google Gears. See below for my compilation.
This method works for both 32 and 64 bits.
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs (only for 64 bits) svn checkout http://gears.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gears-read-only cd gears-read-only/ wget http://gkovacs.xvm.mit.edu/google-gears-firefox-3.5-x86_64/gears-gcc433.diff patch -p0 -i gears-gcc433.diff chmod +x third_party/gecko_1.9/linux/gecko_sdk/bin/xpidl make -C gears clean make -C gears -j3 MODE=opt #(remove MODE= to use debug version, it allow warning during compilation) #To install : firefox ./gears/bin-opt/installers/gears-linux-opt-*.xpi
If you want an light version, you need to remove stop on warning flag for compilation :
vim gears/tools/config.mk
Delete every referencies of “Werror”.
Here my stuff :
