startup synergy client before login (xfce)

02/06/2014

Want to start synergy before the login screen?

Create a file in : /usr/local/bin

#!/bin/bash
#
# START SYNERGY CLIENT
#
synergyc 192.168.1.33

#!/bin/bash

# START SYNERGY CLIENT

synergyc 192.168.1.33

then chmod +x it.

Add a line to the file in /etc/rc.local just before “exit 0” to execute the script at boot and before the login screen.

Connect to Google cloud print with linux

01/06/2014

So you got a linux machine and you want it to print to your google cloud printer.

Just follow this page to set it up with cups: http://www.niftiestsoftware.com/cups-cloud-print/

I used the .deb for my backboxlinux distro.

wget http://niftyrepo.niftiestsoftware.com/cups-cloud-print/packages/cupscloudprint_20140308-1_all.deb 
sudo dpkg -i cupscloudprint_20140308-1_all.deb  
sudo /usr/share/cloudprint-cups/setupcloudprint.py

wget http://niftyrepo.niftiestsoftware.com/cups-cloud-print/packages/cupscloudprint_20140308-1_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i cupscloudprint_20140308-1_all.deb

sudo /usr/share/cloudprint-cups/setupcloudprint.py

Then just follow the questions. It will ask you to open google to give the app some permissions. Google will create a code that you will have to enter.

It really is that simple
