Enable Desktop Icons and Right Click ~ Gnome 3 (Gnome Shell) Ubuntu 11.04

Enable Desktop Icons and Right Click ~ Gnome 3 (Gnome Shell) Ubuntu 11.04

ENABLE DESKTOP ICONS AND RIGHT CLICK ~ GNOME 3 (GNOME SHELL) UBUNTU 11.04

• By default with Gnome 3, desktop icons and the ability to right click on the desktop is disabled. I will show you how to enable it.

  Open dconf by pressing alt + f2 and running:>

  dconf-editor

  Go to org > gnome > desktop > background and check the box to show desktop icons.

  

  While this brings back desktop icons, and enables right clicking on the desktop, it makes the computer, home, trash icons visible. These are usually hidden with Ubuntu. To make them hidden again, but still allowing icons on the desktop, go to nautilus > desktop, and uncheck the boxes for the icons you want hidden.

This package is configured with automake/autoconf. Generic
instructions are in the file INSTALL. Here are some specific problems
that may arise:

1) Error when running lex:

      lex   scan.l && mv lex.yy.c scan.c
      "scan.l":line 2: Error: missing translation value

   The scan.l file uses features of flex that do not exist in lex.
   However, it is not necessary to run lex, since the file scan.c is
   provided in the package. Just do a "touch scan.c" to make sure
   "make" will not try to generate it anew.

Text To Speech and Translation Application For Ubuntu Linux - Gespeaker

eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English and other languages, for Linux and Windows. eSpeak uses a "formant synthesis" method. This allows many languages to be provided in a small size. The speech is clear, and can be used at high speeds, but is not as natural or smooth as larger synthesizers which are based on human speech recordings.

eSpeak is available as:
 * A command line program (Linux and Windows) to speak text from a file or from stdin.
 * A shared library version for use by other programs.

Gespeaker is a GTK+ front-end for espeak. It allows to play a text in many languages with settings for voice, pitch, volume, speed and word gap. The text played can also be recorded to WAV file.

Gespeaker supports multiple languages, currently English, Italian, French and Spanish. It works well with both Gnome, XFCE, LXDE environments. 

Gespeaker Installation:
Open the terminal and type following command to install Gespeaker:

sudo apt-get install gespeaker

Currently Ubuntu packagers does not include mbrola in the official repositories, Ubuntu users will need to install mbrola and the voices from the Ubuntu Trucchi repository in this way from the terminal type following command:

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntutrucchi.list http://www.ubuntutrucchi.it/repository/ubuntutrucchi.list
wget -O - http://www.ubuntutrucchi.it/repository/ubuntutrucchi.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update 

After successful installation you can open the Gespeaker from the Unity 'Dash'

Using Gespeaker is easy, just enter text in the available text box, select a voice type (male or female), and a language from the drop down list. Click on Play button to hear the playback of the entered text in a selected language. You can also record the sound using the Record option.

Gespeaker also allows to play a text in many languages with settings  for voice, pitch, volume, speed and word gap.
