Step 2 - Set up the commands

• Open the Compiz Config manager (System -> preferences -> CompizConfig Settings Manager)
• Select the "Commands" option
• In "Command Line 0" past:

 
WIDTH=`xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:' | cut -f 2 -d ':' | cut -f 1 -d 'x'` && HALF=$(($WIDTH/4)) && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,maximized_vert && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,0,0,$HALF,-1
 

• In "Command Line 1" past:

 
WIDTH=`xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:' | cut -f 2 -d ':' | cut -f 1 -d 'x'` && HALF=$(($WIDTH/4)) && LOCATION=$(($WIDTH-$HALF)) && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,maximized_vert && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,$LOCATION,0,$HALF,-1
 

• In "Command Line 2" past:

 
wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,maximized_vert,maximized_horz
 

Step 3 - Enable the commands
Go to the 'Edge Bindings' tab and set the following:

Good luck, let me know if you have any questions.

When you plug your phone into your Ubuntu 10.04 box, on your Nexus One an alert will appear asking you if you'd like to enable USB storage. Once you have enabled this, the Ubuntu system will see the phone has a USB mass storage device. Now you should be able to download all of your pictures and in Rhythmbox the phone appear on the device list. You can just drag and drop your music like you would for a playlist.

Since Ubuntu is treating the phone as a mass storage device, Rhytmbox does not know by default where to upload the music. So it defaults to the root of the SD card. If you would like to not fill the root up with all of your music you can opt to put all of your music into a music folder. To do this, you need to upload one song to the Nexus One, then open up the device in a file manager. Create a new directory called "music" and move the one song you uploaded to that folder. Now Rhythmbox will be smart enough to know to upload to the "music" folder and all the media applications on the Nexus One will auto detect the music in the "music" folder.

If you are looking for a good music player I have become a big fan of DoubleTwist. Plus if you are on Windows or a Mac you can use the DoubleTwist desktop client to manage music on the phone.

Today I was working on allowing me to upload my applications onto my Nexus One so that I could test the software on a real device. Well I ran into an issue after following Google's tutorial on how to do it located here. I run Ubuntu 10.04 on my main development machine and so I followed the instructs for how to do it for Linux. Well when I got to the end of the tutorial when it tells you to test your the setup with the following command:

adb devices

I got the following output:

List of devices attached

???????????? no permissions

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"

sudo service udev restart

adb devices
