It's been difficult to find an easy solution to hide menu items from registered users. Finally, I found a solution that works 100% for me using the MetaMod tool without using any template hacks. The instructions on the metamod page are very vague so I wanted to make it bit more in-depth for this specific use. I'd love to hear if this helps you. Let me know if you find any mistakes and I'll be sure to fix asap.

 

 Well we're all happy that the iPlayer from the BBC has come to PS3 in Europe but I'm less impressed about the multi-audio output.  My setup is that the sound goes from the Playstation to the Sound System via Optical Out.  

I found that if you do enable the multi-audio output then you can play music again.  

What a bummer you can't play music and use anything else anymore.  I can still play some games and select my own music... but they're dumbass PSN games that iPhone users would have got for a pound or what have you...


This is what I had to do to be able to add another template to the dropdown in the Kunena configuration panel:

  1. Download your site from your server to a copy on your local disk (hard disk, flash drive, etc)
  2. Make sure that the \components\com_kunena\template folder is on your local disk
  3. Make a copy of the default folder inside
  4. Rename this to the name of your new template (avoid any spaces)
  5. Download the new template for the Kunena forum
 
This is what the official Kunena documentation says:
 
Installing another Template
  1. Download the Template package.
  2. Open your FTP Connection and go to \components\com_kunena\template\
  3. Extract the folder "Template Name" into this directory ^
  4. If in the package the folder "lib" contains, extract the files in the directory \components\com_kunena\lib\

 I've been told of two ways of running a downloaded .RUN file.

Note: Bear in mind that the following is all case-sensitive.

Through the terminal server

  1. Download the .RUN file to your desktop
  2. Open a terminal by going to Application > Accessories > Terminal
  3. Type 'CD Desktop' to go to your desktop folder
  4. Type 'LS' just to check the .RUN file is in this one
  5. Type 'sudo sh nameoffile.run'

Through the Gnome GUI

  1. Right-click on the file you downloaded
  2. Select 'Properties'
  3. Select the 'Permissions' tab
  4. Tick the 'Execute' checkbox

Conclusion

The solution using the terminal worked for me but the second one using Gnome didn't.


1. If someone wants to use Ubuntu as a home media pc connected to a
tv, there is the problem of overscan; consumer tv's crop off the
border around the image. How does Ubuntu intend to officially solve
this? Right now LinuxMCE has it's own method for doing this so the
LMCE UI is never cropped off, but when the user switches back to
Ubuntu's gnome desktop, the top nav bar is cut off if he's using a
normal tv and not a pc monitor. I'd like to have 1 screen adjustment
tool that correctly adjusts both the lmce desktop and the main ubuntu
desktop, so even when using the Ubuntu desktop on a TV, the top nav
isn't cropped.  Any ideas?
