Sometimes I need to paste codes in Lotus Notes for discussion. If the codes have syntax highlighting will be nice.

In NotePad++, there is a plugin called “NppExport” which can let you copy the code in the clipboard in RTF format.

In PuTTY, there is a option called “Paste to clipboard in RTF as well as plain text” in Windows -> Selection. Just check it!

Noticed the mic mute button doesn’t work on T410. Find a solution on askubuntu.com.

On T410, the step A shows following result after run amixer scontrols:

Simple mixer control 'Capture',0

In step C, the script lenovo-mutemic.sh will be modified to use ‘Capture’ for detecting the event.

The mic mute button works fine now, but it can not keep the status after reboot.

It is my T410’s spec.:

ThinkPad T410 (2522-B53)
i5-520M(2.4GHz), 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200rpm HD, 14.1in 1440×900 LCD, Intel 5700MHD, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, WWAN option, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure Chip, 9c Li-Ion, WinXP Pro

Its Intel 5700MHD graphic card can not be recognized by Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin).

Found the solution here: “Intel HD Graphics card not recognized in System Info”

Typing it in terminal:
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

Then I can see the driver is “Intel® Ironlake Mobile”.

Since my T410 has encrypted drive with LUKS, I started to try to encrypt a 120GB USB drive. It’s very easy. Just plug the USB drive and launch the Disk Utility, then you can format it with encryption.

But I don’t want it ask me password every time when I plug it in, just select “Remember Forever” when input the password.

The chair is different from others. It is a little old and the chair handle has become loose.
