How to use Indian Rupee currency symbol in keyboard

Its been quite a while that, the INR or Indian Rupee Currency Symbol was introduced. Earlier there were some ad-hoc solutions released by a 3rd party – like a Rupee symbol Font was released which had to be installed on the system, to view the symbol. Later Microsoft came up with an update for the same, which enables one to type it using the keyboard shortcut. This update too was released a long time back. But even now many people ask about the official method for typing the INR symbol in Windows. Let us see how to type the INR symbol using the Keyboard shortcut for Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Indian Rupee Currency Symbol download

First of all get this update -KB2496898 from Microsoft. Download the update based on your version of Windows. This update requires validation and will validate before downloading.

Using Indian Rupee Currency Symbol in Windows 7

Install this update. The system will require a restart after the install. Once you have installed this, now go to Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and languages tab . Click on ‘Change Keyboards…’ and under ‘General’ tab , click on ‘Add…’  and tick India under English (India ), you can also find this under English (United States) Keyboards.


Once done, you can see it listed under Installed Services. And also you can see it in the system tray.


Now open the document where you want to type the symbol, be it the Word doc or notepad or any other. From the system tray, select English (India). Now use the keys Ctrl+Alt+4 shortcut to type the symbol. On some new keyboards, they have the Rupee symbol printed on the key, just like $. Else in earlier keyboards, look for the key which has $ & 4 on it. I noticed that in some applications such as while typing in Windows Live Writer, I had to use the Ctrl+Alt keys present on the right side of the space bar. It however worked for both sides, when using in Word or Notepad. So this is how the Indian Rupee Currency Symbol is typed in Windows 7.

Join Ubuntu 14.04LTS to a Windows Domain using PBIS Open

The following instructions will guide you through the process of joining an Ubuntu 14.04 client to a Windows Domain using Power Broker Identity Services Open Edition version 8.0.1.2029 64bit.
(This process should also work for Lubuntu 14.04)

Environment:
Windows Server 2012 Standard Domain Controller
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Lubuntu 14.04 Client PCs

1.Download the most current stable version of Power Broker Identity Services Open Edition
Go to the following address and download the most current version of PBIS:
http://download1.beyondtrust.com/Technical-Support/Downloads/PowerBroker-Identity-Services-Open-Edition/?Pass=True
Or, from a terminal type the following commands:
cd ~
sudo wget http://download.beyondtrust.com/PBISO/8.0.1/linux.deb.x64/pbis-open-8.0.1.2029.linux.x86_64.deb.sh


2.Make the pbis installation script executable
In the terminal navigate to the directory where pbis-open-8.0.1.2029.linux.x86_64.deb.sh is located and execute the following command:
sudo chmod +x pbis-open-8.0.1.2029.linux.x86_64.deb.sh

3.Run the pbis installation script
From the terminal type the following command to install pbis open:
sudo ./pbis-open-8.0.1.2029.linux.x86_64.deb.sh

4.Use PBIS Open to join your PC to the Windows Domain
From the terminal:
cd /opt/pbis/bin/
sudo domainjoin-cli join --disable ssh $domainname $domainaccount
*where domainname = the name of your domain and domainaccount = user@domainname.###
EXAMPLE: sudo domainjoin-cli --disable ssh frijoles.com fadmin@frijoles.com
When prompted for a password supply the appropriate credentials and you should receive a "SUCCESS" prompt when finished.

5.Set-up default configuration for domain users
Use PBIS to pre-configure the user environment for all domain users that log into the newly added system.
From the terminal:
sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config UserDomainPrefix $domain
sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config AssumeDefaultDomain true
sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config LoginShellTemplate /bin/bash
sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config HomeDirTemplate %H/%U
sudo /opt/pbis/bin/config RequireMembershipOf "$domain\\$securitygroup"

6.Edit the pamd.d common-session file
From a terminal:
sudo vi /etc/pam.d/common-session
Find the line that states the following:
session sufficient pam_lsass.so
Replace it with:
session [success=ok default=ignore] pam_lsass.so

7.Edit the lightdm configuration file
Edit the lightdm configuration file and append the following lines:
sudo vi /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf
allow-guest=false
greeter-show-manual-login=true
*If you are using Lubuntu 14.04 your lightdm configuration file will be: 60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf

8.Give sudo access to users/groups
Add any necessary administrative users and/or groups from your domain to the sudoers file to give them sudo privileges.
From a terminal:
sudo vi /etc/sudoers
*using the file's configuration examples add users/groups appropriately.
EXAMPLE:
fadmin ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

9.Reboot and Log-in
Reboot your PC and log-in using an appropriate domain user account.

Conclusion
These instructions have only been tested on Lubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Distributions. With minimal tweaking these steps should also work for other distributions. Older and now deprecated versions of Likewise-Open should work in a similar fashion as PBIS-Open, and may be required on older distributions.

Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears



Blank desktops suck

 When login, nothing happens.
Desktop wallpaper.No Dash, no Launcher, nothing.

 You just need to turn the Unity plugin back on. The problem is this is a pain in the bottom because you've now got no graphical method to do this. So:
1.Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and log in.
2.Install the jibby you'll need to configure the settings by running this:
   sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
3.Then run it by doing this:
   export DISPLAY=:0
   ccsm
   The first part tells the terminal which display you want it to load on (otherwise it won't have a clue).
4.Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or Ctrl+Alt+F8 sometimes) to get back to the graphical display where there should be a CompizConfig Settings Manager screen sitting there.
5.Find the Unity plugin. Enable it.
6.Everything should spring into life but if it doesn't, you might have to restart. You can do that by going back to TTY1 and running sudo reboot.
