Private Browsing Chrome on Linux by Default

Google Chrome is an outstanding browser as the world knows it and it always comes built in with the latest Adobe Flash for all my favorite videos and online games, but I still hate that it doesn't offer the option to Private Browse (incognito mode) the web by default!

I really love Linux in stability, security and performance as well and now I can apply familiar options as I do in Windows if I want to setup Google Chrome to start in Incognito Mode(Private Browsing) by default especially since I am not a fan of Web Browsing Cookies, Temporary Internet Files and various forms of web browsing history!

This instructions apply to Ubuntu Linux and Debian Based Linux Distributions(Linux Mint, Debian, and etc..)

First you copy Google Chrome to the Desktop and then you right click the the Google Chrome program and select Properties!

This is where it gets little Tricky but Fairly easy when Properties opens up click inside the Command Line Bar then release the mouse button and press the right arrow key on keyboard to reach till the end of the text! This is not required but recommended to make sure you don't cut or delete anything inside the bar!

When you finally reach the end with the right arrow key press once with the space bar on keyboard and type --incognito then close properties! You are practically done because when you double click on the desktop like usual then Google Chrome should load in Incognito Mode as shown in this video!

But the video also shows you after that how to delete any past web browsing history in case you didn't know how.

But the topic of today is mainly about if you can't open it after you've installed it successfully using the commands mentioned above!

Then Open the Terminal Again and type

rm -Rf ~/.wine-browser

Best Linux Games are Waiting for You!

This is it Ladies and Gentleman, its History in the Making! Top Linux Games are Waiting for You!

For over Two Decades we have been depending on Two Primary Operating Systems MAC OS and Microsoft Windows!

We(the Whole World) were mainly limited to what we can do or use on our custom build computers and/or famous computer brands that you buy from local stores featuring these Two History Making Platforms that connected us all!

They Had & Still Have One Incredible Advantage They support over 99.9% of all software around the world!

There was always one hiddenly famous type of Operating System called Linux (Android OS on Phones and Tablets, PlayStation OS, Smart TVs, Wii, Blackberry,Apple and many more Unix-Like platforms but they are private)!

It so hidden that many websites and statistics still claim that no more then 1% percent of the world is using Linux! But what they were really referring to is the Open Source type of Linux (Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Fedora and so much more)!

The primary difference between Open Source Linux and Private Linux is that on Open Source you can do what you like on the Operating System and even modify the whole system if you know how and have the skills and passion to do so(computer programmers, c++ certified, java and so much more) and submit it to the world if you like!

But Private is what it is and you have to use it how its build,written, and finalized! Most Private Operating Systems are based on skills, knowledge, passions, experiments used on Open Source Linux to make it stable and Final for Private Source!

There is so many software tools to use on Linux like GIMP for free instead of expensive Adobe Photoshop and many more different types of software and tools that can keep up with Windows and Mac OS.

But for all Gamers around the World we had to use Famous Game Consoles(XBOX, PlayStation,Wii, Sega,Nintendo and etc.. over the years) or this two honorable OSs Windows, MAC OS on our computers!

Are you prepared for this Historical Change? I still get the goosebumps!

STEAM from Valve Corporation has released Top Quality Games for Linux such as Counter Strike and Half Life, Europa Universalis IV and so much more!!!

There are still so many games that are not available for Linux but do you have any idea how fast this is growing that I would rather save over $300 on Windows Licence, $80 on Security Software,$100 for virus removal, $150 for computer repair x 10 over the next few years($1500)!

The list of useless expenses is Endless well guess what so are the great Possibilities on Linux!

Thank you Steam, Valve Corporation and endless Game Designing Companies and Industries around the globe! Thank you from the bottom of my Heart!

And let the GAMES BEGIN..........!

Enable USB Support in Virtualbox on Linux via Terminal

Linux is getting better and better everyday and I got to be honest with you I really am thinking of switching over to Linux completely! It will still take a bit of time for full acceptance of only Linux but until then I can always have Windows aside whenever I need it!

There are plenty of software that can run only on Windows and its crucial that I still have it, that's why I've installed it on Virtualbox but I also need to access files that I've saved on my USB from Picture Editing to Word Documents and so forth on my USB! 

Enabling USB Support to your Virtual Machine via Virtualbox is very important and its also necessary when its crucial times to open certain files on Windows and Windows related Programs! And its also convenient when you still want to install your USB connected printer as Well, even though Linux already covers most of them through generic drivers.

just open the Terminal and type sudo su and press Enter then it will ask for your password so type it out and press Enter.

Doing this will grant you root access and then you can give it the final command to enable USB support on Virtualbox in Linux.

The following should be entered in the Terminal usermod computers -a -G vboxusers and press Enter (computers was my username, what's your username on Linux that's the one you should use in this command!)!

Now all you have to do is restart the computer and enjoy the USB 2.0 support on your virtual machine operating system of your choice in Virtualbox.

Update Linux via Terminal

You know that keeping your operating system up to date is very important

You can update Ubuntu Linux via Terminal instead of just using the Update Manager.

I find it pretty convenient to update my system especially when I am already working in the terminal in advance and when I know that I have the time to check if my system is up to date.

just open the terminal if yours isn’t already running and inside it just type sudo su and press Enter to gain Root Access.

It will ask for your user password so just type it out and press enter.

Then in the terminal the directory should change from somethinbg like this

computersguide@computersguide-System-Product-Name:~$

into something like that below which grants you root access!

root@computersguide-System-Product-Name:/home/computersguide#

then just type apt-get upgrade and press Enter.

It will describe how many updates are available and how much space it will require to complete and if you agree with the updates then press Y as in Yes and press Enter to begin updating your system!

Once it completes you can close the terminal and reboot or use the terminal to reboot like I show on my sudo su shutdown in Linux Terminal YouTube Video .

sudo su Shutdown in Linux Terminal

If your learning how to use Linux in command line via Terminal like lets say Ubuntu Linux then here is a new command for you!

After you've done all your practice for the day how do you shut it down?

You can Abviosly shut it down by pressing the power button in the Uppper right corner of the screen but you want to learn how to work more like a pro!

So why not shut it down via terminal with the following commands!

When you open the Terminal in Debian Type Linux like Ubuntu first type sudo su and press Enter to open the command line with Super User Powers!

That’s really what sudo su stands for super user privileges because it allows you to do things that normally you wouldn’t be able to do by default.

There are many advanced commands that need the sudo su privileges to run properly.

Once you press Enter it will mostly likely ask for your user account password so just type it out in the terminal and press Enter again.

This will grant you root access and now you type shutdown -h now and press Enter!

How about if you are downloading a large File from the internet but you need to  leave the house cause you are in a hurry! Both things are important to complete but you can do only one thing at a time!

Suppose like now its 5 o’clock in the evening and the download will be complete by 5:20 but before you leave the house now just open the terminal and schedule it to shut down by 5:25 to be certain that the file is completely downloaded!

So instructions are really the same as above except now you can specify at what time you would like it for the computer to shut down with a minor modification by typing shutdown -h 17:25 and press Enter.

Notice I recommend typing 17:25 not 5:25 because Linux uses the 24 hour clock in the command line and if you typed 5:25 it would assume you mean in the morning so it would still work but for allot more additional hours without need!

Read & Write to exFAT file system on Linux

Let's Fix the Linux ERROR mounting an unknown file system type 'exfat'.

I've already shown how to install Microsoft's exFAT file system support on Linux before but now there is an easier, familiar and faster way to do it!

First thing you should do after logging into Linux is plug in the SD CARD, USB FLASH Card or additional Internal/External Hard Disk Storage that is formated into exFAT file system and then open the Terminal in Linux and type the following!

SUDO SU then press ENTER

Then it will ask for your User Password, type it out and press Enter!

Then type APT-ADD-REPOSITORY PPA:RELAN/EXFAT then press Enter

After you press Enter a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement that Google has bought from Microsoft to use their exFAT file system on Google's Mobile Android Linux Operating System that can be used on mobile devices if you've enabled root access) for the free exFAT file system implementation project message will load up!

Once again you have to press ENTER to Continue or CTRL+C to Cancel.

Then after executing this command in the terminal and a few seconds later you should type
APT-GET UPDATE and press ENTER! This is to make sure that everything that is needed for this package to work is up to date!

And then at last the final command you should type in the terminal is APT-GET INSTALL FUSE-EXFAT press ENTER to finally install the support for exFAT on Linux!

It will ask you one more time if you would like to Continue? then Press Y as in Yes and press ENTER!

As of now after you exit the Terminal you should start enjoying the support of the exFAT file system on Linux!
