Root loging via GUI in Ubuntu

I'm writing this post since I have a problem of remembering this every time when I wanted to use it. I think this would also help you.

To get the root through GUI

1) You have to press

alt + F2

it will open dialog box called 'Run Application'

2) then you type

'gksudo nautilus' without quots

in the text field and then Ubuntu will ask for your Password.

3) type the password

then you will get the window with '/root'
where you have all admin rights

Note:
In this mode there won't be any warning when deleting or modifying files which will get you in to trouble even if you accidentally deleted or modified admin files. Therefore be careful and do not use this mode unless otherwise it's really needed.

Instant Tamil or Sinhala Unicode conversion

Most of us have problems with typing...!!!
Varies keyboards, different lay outs and so many ways to handle languages,
it al make us pissed off..!!!
Most importantly we rarely get a need to type Tamil or Sinhalese even that’s our mother tongue. Imagine learning and practising different keyboards just to type one letter..! It sucks...!
Even if we learnt, if we didn’t practice it often it just goes way and the next time we are back to square one...
so the easiest way is... to go for an converter...
and this will do all for us..

E.g.
if u typed..
"vaNakkam" in English u will get "வணக்கம்" in Tamil...
this is done through

TanGlish (Phonetic) transliterated --> Tamil Unicode

At the same time you might have a lot of old Tamil documents which are in non Unicode fonts (like Bamini...) and as all the computers around the globe now support Unicode, you might feel it will be easy and very much convenient if you have them in Unicode as well...
so the hazard of sending the font file with the document and installing that before viewing won’t be there.

This too can be done so easily...

Bamini --> Unicode

Unicode --> Bamini

by pasting our text in one will automatically produce another...

NOTE:

All of these are not downloadable...
so u should be online when you’re using them..
But u can still find some other packages in web which allows downloadable...

This is a product of UCSE Sri Lanka.

Finally... for all Sinhala and Tamil Unicode translations visit the site bellow...

I hope it helps...
