Modifying Kali Linux Interface

GNOME is still running on Kali Linux, but the interface of GNOME on Kali Linux is different with GNOME on Backtrack. On Backtrack we can modify it very easy as adding panel, changing the button layout of window manager, etc. As a Backtrack user, i always remember what the desktop environment on Backtrack, and maybe need more time to adapt with the new desktop environment on Kali Linux.
But, to still keeping you so that you don't need time to adapt, you can modify the interface of Kali Linux. So you can enjoy the new environment of Kali Linux without afraid about your habit before using Kali Linux. One of more the differences between Backtrack and Kali Linux is the button layout at window manager. At Backtrack, you will found that the button layout located at the left, but at Kali Linux, it will be send back to right. Don't be afraid, let we send back (again) the button layout of window manager to the left.
You can use dconf (looks like gconf-editor) to modify it. Run dconf from Applications >> System Tools >> dconf Editor.

Running dconf

Open the org >> gnome >> desktop >> wm >> preferences.

dconf Editor

On the button-layout, change the configuration value with.
close,maximize,minimize:
modify button layout

When you change the configuration value, the button layout will move to left immediately. Now, you don't need to adapt about the button layout of window manager on Kali Linux.

Share Connection eth0 on Kali

When I was still using Backtrack as pentest Operating System on my netbook, I need to configure everything about networking, include sharing connection over eth0 interface. I must type on the terminal to set up the interface, then set the IP and netmask, etc. After setting the interface connection, I also must to configure  iptables to forwarding the internet connection from the other interface into eth0 , and the last step I must turn on forwarding rule. It's really fun, although need several step to do it. But, when I am using Kali Linux, I realise that the step which can I do on backtrack doesn't running on Kali Linux. After learn several option about networking on Kali, finally I can share connection over eth0 on Kali Linux. Okay, the first assume that we must have connected internet (not using eth0 ). Next, when your connection are ready, you can right click on the networking icon, select Edit Connection. Edit Connection When the window "Networking Connectio

Bypassing Nokia Maps N9

Nokia N9 have maps application, both of Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive are related one to other. But the same problem with Nokia Drive on Nokia N9 also occur in Nokia Maps (see here ). Nokia Maps also need logged in Nokia Account before you can use Nokia Maps. So I think the same way with bypassing Nokia Account in Nokia Drive will be succeed too in Nokia Maps. The same step can be read on my previous post here , until preparing the configuration Nokia Drive download. Okay let's go! First, make sure you have installed Filebox and setting to show hidden files and show root filesystem. Open browser on your N9 and download Modified Nokia Maps Configuration here . Don't press clear when the download has finished, just tap Done. Go to Filebox, and navigate to /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads , you'll found Maps.conf there, copy and paste this file into /home/user/.config/Nokia . But I recommend you if there's existing Nokia Maps Configuration backup it into Maps.conf.bak the
