This is for those who experience the following error while installing anything from apt-get or Synaptic package manager from the official repositories even though you have the valid GPG keys installed (For Ubuntu/Debian ONLY):

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

(And further are required to use –fix-missing parameter to solve the error.)

To fix it, do this:

sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring debian-keyring

Next, run the Update by giving:

sudo apt-get update

That’s it, you shouldn’t be experiencing anymore issues with verification on the Official repositories. If its of the rest, you need to acquire a GPG key manually.

Alternate way - SecureApt

Now that you all know iPhone has launched finally, after days of catching your breaths and saving up for it. Here, cool yourself down by watching some of this.

Oh, no worries, its pure Swedish too. Click the box below to begin the unwrapping of the mighty iPhone. Much to a purchaser’s dismay.

Ps. Actual link was at - http://stream.ifixit.com/

Note that the actual post was about the unwrapping of an iPhone itself! To see what all chips it had used, its real value and other things. Things like the locked bluetooth chip, and other things which made the iPhone even more exciting. It was technical porno, inlcuding disassembly, scratching and all, heh.

Unsleepable is a very very good theme. Its neat, easy on eyes, and is also a K2 mod to make it more heavenly. However, by default, Unsleepable uses lower case letters for all its titles (be it sidebar titles, or post titles). And this can get irritative if you want to point out some stress in the header or just for the heck of it looking neat.

So here’s a way to have uppercase letters and exact text formatting for all titles in the Unsleepable theme.

• Go to your Dashboard >> Presentation >> Theme Editor (Assuming you have Unsleepable as your in-use theme)
• From the list of files shown in the right, find the .CSS named ‘Stylesheet‘. [Alternatively, you can also download this file via your FTP and edit it offline].
• Hit Ctrl+F once you have that file opened, search for “lowercase“.
• For every entry that appears, which will look like “text-transform: lowercase;“, keep removing those lines off from the CSS.
• Remove all such lines by finding it over and over (Ctrl + F) and finally save the file to make the edits permanent.
• Reload your blog page and you can see your exact upper and lower case formatting in all titles than the usual all-lowercase ones.
