1. Go to your gnome shell theme directory. (For me this is /usr/share/themes/Faience/gnome-shell)

2. Open gnome-shell.css and find .panel-button #appMenuIcon

If your theme has multiple css files like mine then run this command to find which file it is declared in. (panel.css in my case)

grep -r 'appMenuIcon' *

Find

.panel-button #appMenuIcon {
    app-icon-bottom-clip: 1px;
}

Change width and height to 0px;

.panel-button #appMenuIcon {
    app-icon-bottom-clip: 1px;
    width: 0px;
    height: 0px;
}

Find

.app-menu-icon {
    width: 24px;
    height: 24px;
}

Change too:

.app-menu-icon {
    /*width: 24px;
    height: 24px;*/
}

Save, restart gnome.

Looks like this:

I’m posting this here as a reference for myself and others as this is something you will need to do often. The mgse are updated often and will overwrite your changes. Credit goes to esteban1uy @ linux mint forums.

Open a terminal

sudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/menu@linuxmint.com/extension.js

In gedit, scroll down to line 827 and you will find this:

Main.panel._rightBox.insert_actor(activitiesButton.actor, Main.panel._rightBox.get_children().length);
activitiesButton._label.set_text("-");

Comment these lines out by changing it to this:

// Main.panel._rightBox.insert_actor(activitiesButton.actor, Main.panel._rightBox.get_children().length);
// activitiesButton._label.set_text("-");

Save, restart Gnome-shell (Alt+F2 r)

The extension works fine with thunderbird 8.0, you just need to make a simple configuration change to get it to install.

First, download the the docky thunderbird extension source from https://github.com/lpiepiora/docky-thunderbird and install apache ant.

sudo apt-get install ant

Go into the downloaded directory and open install.rdf and change

5.0

to fit your needs, e.g

8.0

You can also use wildcards such as *.*

Now open up a terminal in the downloaded directory and run the command `ant`.

$ ant

Now install the thunderbird extension as normal.

XPI files are simply renamed zip files, so you can also rename the file to a zip extension or use the zip/unzip command line tools in linux.

You can use this technique for a lot of plugins, this should work for the awn-notif and cairo dock unread count plugins for thunderbird also. However be aware that some plugins will be incompatible.

already running.

Make these changes to fix it: (in your shell).

cd /etc/nginx/vhosts

perl -pi -w -e 's/server_name(.*) YOURIPADDRESS/server_name$1/g;' *

Replace YOURIPADDRESS with the ip address you see in the errors.

Now go to WHM > Tweak settings and change Apache non-SSL IP/port to 0.0.0.0:8081

Fantastico and rvskin has just been uninstalled and I figured that was the cause. You can fix this problem by forcing a cpanel update. Login to your root shell account and run this:

 /scripts/upcp --force

You can change the syntax for any file format by adding these lines to your ~/.vimrc file.

syntax on
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile /etc/php5/fpm/* set syntax=dosini

Make sure you change the path to match your needs. Available vim syntax options are listed in /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/syntax

To fix this, simply add

options single-request

to your /etc/resolv.conf file.

This is a known issue and it has to do with ipv6/ipv4 in some configurations. It is not in the current man pages for resolv.conf but the change has been made upstream, it will be included soon.

This code assumes your wordpress nav menu is called ‘sidebar_menu’.

Your nav menu might be defined in your themes functions.php file like below or you can add it as a widget using the ‘custom menu’ widget.

register_nav_menus(
	array(
		'sidebar_menu' => 'Sidebar Navigation',
));

There is a wordpress filter that runs on every menu before it is displayed in the format wp_nav_menu_{MENU_NAME}_items

You will need to add the following code to your themes functions.php file.

function my_sidebar_menu_heading($items)
{
	// This removes the hyperlink from menu items in the sidebar that have # as the url
	// It's a workaround so that menu items in the sidebar can be non-clickable headings.
	$items = preg_replace( '#<a href="\#">(.*)</a>#', '<span style="font-weight:bold">$1</span>', $items );
	return $items;
}

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_sidebar_menu_items', 'my_sidebar_menu_heading' );

Remember to change wp_nav_menu_sidebar_menu_items to reflect your menu name, for example if your menu is called main_navigation, the function call would be

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_main_navigation_items', 'my_sidebar_menu_heading' );

You can use the mysql query below to set the alt tags of your featured images to the name of the post.

This query assumes that no alt tag data currently exists, if you have existing alt tags, you will need to use an update query instead. Also note this only sets the alt data for images set as featured images for posts.

INSERT INTO wp_postmeta (post_id, meta_key, meta_value)
    SELECT pm.meta_value image_post_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', p.post_title
    FROM wp_postmeta pm
    LEFT JOIN wp_posts p ON p.id = pm.post_id
    WHERE pm.meta_key = '_thumbnail_id'
        AND pm.meta_value IS NOT NULL

This is not a vBulletin flaw, only those with the advanced forum rules mod are affected.

vBulletin user vktechnology has posted some good instructions on how to clean up in the initial damage (posted below) however you need to look in /includes and /includes/xml for a file called vba.php or vbf.php. It’s a php script ‘encoded’ using eval(base64_decode that is basically a hack tool. If you want to see what it looks like, visit it in your browser, it allows the person to see your server configuration and browse your files among other things.

It is important to note that a lot more damage could have been done to the affected boards, so that is something to be thankful for.

Here are the instructions to remove, some steps may not be needed for your board. i.e not all forums were turned off. Make sure you look for vba.php and vbf.php

Instruction how to remove “Hacked by Team Animus”

1) Restore files

Download the latest vbulletin from vbulletin.com, you will need to replace the index.php files as they have been overwritten.

Find these files and delete/replace

index.php
index.html
admincp/index.php
admincp/index.html
modcp/index.php
modcp/index.html

2) Reset login to admin cp

If you are locked out of your admin cp, upload tools.php to admincp to reset your admin login

3) Login to admin cp and disable Cyb rules and install new version do not forget to over write it

4) Run these queries on your database (use phpmyadmin etc)

All user titles have been overwritten with ‘Hacked by Team Animus’, run these queries to delete that.

UPDATE user SET usertitle = '' WHERE usertitle = 'Hacked by Team Animus';
UPDATE user SET customtitle = '0' where customtitle = '1';

5) Delete user id 13371337

This is the administrator user ‘Team Animus’

6) Reset AUTO INCREMENT

This step is optional, a user called “Team Animus” would have been created with the ID 13371337, this means that all future users will have an ID greater then this number which may make your board look unbalanced. Using a tool like phpmyadmin, go to the ‘user’ table, click operations and reset your auto increment number.

A problem occurs if legitimate users have registered after the hack because their user IDs will be 13371338 etc and so on, you may want to ask these users to re-register after you reset the auto increment.

7) Go to admincp > update counter > update user title
