Fix Sound problem in youtube (Ubuntu firefox)

Problem: In Ubuntu Gutsy (Perhaps other versions too), there is no sound when you play any videos on youtube.com

Connecting Ubuntu to Belkin N+ router USB drive

I recently purchased Belkin's N+ Wireless router. It worked great. Easy to set up and comes up LEDs that should help troubleshoot where the problem is. One of the other features is that it comes with a mount point for USB drive. This is good since it just provides an easy way to create a local NAS. You keep the drive in one place and access it from any of your laptops. Connecting it from Windows is easy. The usual \\belkin N+\Drive Name works. However, on linux, it did not work out of box.

VirtualBox to KVM Migration

What: Virtualbox is a nice desktop virtualization software from erstwhile Sun Inc. I used the personal use as well as open edition of it for quite sometime. However, could not resist the temptation to migrate to KVM, given its increasing roars in the virtualization space - both for desktop as well as server side. Not having a good tool to manage the VMs was a shortcoming of KVM for sometime. However, with Virt-Manger, this seems to have changed quite a lot. And so I started to migrate my windows image to KVM based. Source: Host OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Virtualization tool: VirtualBox Guest OS: Windows XP Sp3 Target: Host OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Virtualization tool: KVM Guest OS: Windows XP Sp3 objective is migrate this guest image to KVM so that the migration is seemless.
