Installing git on Ubuntu

after several days wondering how to upgrade git on ubuntu (to test Chromium OS) this is my solution.

http://vandenabeele.com/install-git-on-Ubuntu-Jaunty

$ sudo apt-get build-dep git-core git-doc

$ wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.0.6.tar.bz2

$ tar -xvjf git-1.7.0.6.tar.bz2

$ cd git-1.7.0.6/

$ make prefix=/usr/local all doc

$ sudo make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc

$ which git

/usr/local/bin/git

$ git --version

git version 1.7.0.6

doc is optional.

now i proceed to chromium install :)

Google chrome print very small - fixed

Currently i'm using google chrome to browse internet, make payment and print some recipt after payment has been made. there are problem here because google chrome does not have printing preference like other browser (ie & firefox). i'm not able to print into actual size and all my recipt are very small :)

the solution is disable fast draft print : http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=761bf9c466615340&hl=en

for my cute PDF, (always using this for later printing) i use optimize for portability as follows:

1. press ctrl + P for printing menu

2. select CutePDF Writer printer

3. click Preferences > Advanced and click at PostScript Options

4. there are Optimize for speed as default value

5. Select Optimize for portablity and now you can print at actual size. (see screenshot)

thats all. hope this will help.
