I travelled down a road that failed, but I learned some cool things about printing to PDF on Ubuntu that I think are worth logging and sharing for others. 1. Out-of-the-Box PDF Printing (in case you didn’t know) In case you are new to ubuntu and didn’t know it, basic PDF printing is already installed and working perfectly. All you…

RECOVERING FILES USING SCALPEL AND UBUNTU
“Ooops. I deleted my photos” I used foremost in this blog to try to recover deleted mp4 video files (for my sister) using ubuntu and the software called Foremost, but it wouldn’t find the video files. It found a bunch of photos but not her supposed videos. Then, I thought maybe the tool wasn’t capable so I tried to figure…
RECOVERING DATA FROM YOUR ANDROID DEVICE USING FOREMOST AND UBUNTU
“Ooops. I deleted my photos” Well, I thought this would be a bit easier than it was but such is life – HARD…May this tutorial save many or all of you lots of time. Probably you can do all this with Kali, Debian, or other distributions that have the same commands, but I’m ubuntu so ubuntu it will be. My…
Log notes from my MTP android ubuntu learning day
Before you read this. Big disclaimer. This post is written in super crappy style and is nothing more than my personal notes as I tried to figure out MTP. The only reason I’m even putting this post online is because a few of the things I learned below seem like they will be relevant for future ubuntu touch / android…
Installing Prestashop on Digital Ocean Ubuntu Server
Setting up Prestashop on an ubuntu server is doable and Digital Ocean makes it pretty painless. The background to this post is that I had a sudden need to ‘figure out shopping carts’. I understood from times past it probably isn’t wise to have a shopping cart that intends to scale on a shared cpanel host, even though it’s pretty…
How to do an Ubuntu Touch Video Screen Cast Recording
Making a video screen cast of your Ubuntu Touch (“UT”) device is a bit difficult as of the date of this blog post, however, thankfully, there is a way to do it with a bunch of scary terminal commands. This is pretty technical, but is probably the only way (for now) to do this. Special thanks to Amolith who forwarded…

How to use this Bmap Tool Thing…
So someone said ‘use bmap tools instead of dd because it’s faster and better’.It sounded good but as usual when I went searching for documentaion on how to simply use this tool I was left in another command line dizziness. You can check their read me file on the git repository here for yourself if you’d like. This blog here…
Fixing PrestaShop child theme upload fail
Just a quick post. To be totally honest, I haven’t had time to investigate if this is a filed bug or not, but I’m going to post this here to save others some headaches and also hopefully serve as a reference link for someone else if they want to file the bug officially (sorry, my bad). I tried to upload…
How to Import Shopify Data into Prestashop with CSV
Brutal. I spent probably 3 hours trying to figure this out so I thought I should spend about 10 minutes and write this quick blog post for anyone else who might hit this. I was testing out Prestashop (looking good so far!) and the aim was to move a new shopify account over to Prestashop to see how it goes.…
