how to remove square shadows behind the dock icons in i os4.0

The files are located in System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app:

WallpaperIconDockShadow.png
and
WallpaperIconDockShadowT.png

Not sure which one you need modified, but you can replace them with a blank png.
Apparently, IconDarkeningOverlay.png is used for the icon overlay when icon is pressed.

How to Fix Cydia Crashes

A lot of people who recently jailbroke their iPhones are having issues with Cydia crashing when launching it. There is a quick and dirty fix for that and it requires to either SSH into your iPhone or use iPhoneBrowser and delete a few files.

Apparently the problem is caused by some corrupted repositories that make Cydia crash within the first few seconds of loading it.

To fix this, simply navigate to /var/lib/apt/lists and delete all the files in this folder except for the folder called “partial”.

Then reboot your iPhone and launch Cydia. It should load without crashing.

How to install apps through disc without dependency errors in Linux

This is a very common issue which Linux users face when they try to install any package from a CD or DVD they always have dependency errors as the package manger only tries to install the package you selected and if there are dependency issue it will not look for the required file either on CD (even if they are presnet in the disc) so to resolve this issue there is a Hack we can make the disc which contains package looks like a online repositry to the package manager. In this case we are doing it with YUM.

First you need to reate a dvd.repo text file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ with the following content:

[dvd]
mediaid=1170972069.396645*
name=DVD for RHEL5( if Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 is Your Operating system if you are using any other OS please change the name)
baseurl=file:///media/RHEL_5%20i386%20DVD/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

(*) The mediaid= value comes from the .discinfo file located in the root of the DVD.

For example, to install the dovecot package using the new dvd.repo file, run yum with the –noplugins option so yum will not try to communicate with the online repositry server for dependencyinfact will look in the drive for other files.

# yum install dovecot –noplugins
Setting up Install Process

–> Running transaction check
—> Package dovecot.i386 0:1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 set to be updated
–> Finished Dependency Resolution

Is this ok [y/N]:

If problems occur while trying this procedure, run yum clean all and try running yum install again.
