Latest Stable Chrome Build Has a New ‘Reset to Default’ Option Available

If your Chrome browser reaches a point where it no longer works well, then that usually means uninstalling and reinstalling it in order to get back the fresh optimal performance you love. But things just got a lot simpler this week! The latest stable build of Chrome comes with a new ‘Reset to Default’ option that lets you return your browser to its original ‘shiny new condition’ with just a click of a button. To access the new feature, just go to Settings, scroll down to the Advanced Settings section and expand it, then scroll to the Reset Browser Settings option located all the way at the bottom. Once you click on the Reset Browser Settings Button, all tweaks and personalization except for themes, bookmarks, and apps will be wiped out, leaving you with a fresh browser once again.

TrueCrypt With Ubuntu AppIndicator PPA

Ubuntu doesn't support tray icons by default and further more, the systray whitelist, which could be used to get applications to use the systray, has been removed with Ubuntu 13.04. This is pretty bad for TrueCrypt, an open source disk encryption application that still uses a tray icon and doesn't come with an Ubuntu AppIndicator, because you can't bring the mount/dismount dialog up once you close the main window unless you kill the application (it closes to the tray which isn't visible).

For this reason, Stefan Sundin has created an Ubuntu PPA for TrueCrypt which has been patched to use an Ubuntu AppIndicator instead of a tray icon.

Install TrueCrypt with AppIndicator instead of tray icon in Ubuntu

To install TrueCrypt with Ubuntu AppIndicator support (PPA available for Ubuntu 13.04, 12.10 and 12.04), use the commands below in a terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stefansundin/truecrypt sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install truecrypt

The AppIndicator exits when hiding (closing) the main TrueCrypt window - to fix this, open the TrueCrypt preferences and on the "Background Task" tab, uncheck "Exit when there are no mounted volumes".
