Quick and easy way of making Chrome send bittorrent magnet links to a remote Transmission instance using its API on Ubuntu with xdg.

Quick and easy way of making Chrome send bittorrent magnet links to a remote Transmission instance using its API on Ubuntu with xdg. This method does not require modifying any system files or xdg's scripts, whereas most of the examples I found on the Internet did require such hacks.

Chrome does not handle default applications, instead relying on the OS to manage that. The default handler in Ubuntu is xdg, which maps the MIME type to the default application. Extra tooling is required because xdg requires a registered desktop file, so you can't simply give it a command to run.

Steps:

  1. Install the shell script transmission-remote-magnet ideally in /usr/local/bin: ln -s ~/src/transmission-remote-magnet.bash transmission-remote-magnet

  2. Install the desktop file, which is required for xdg to work and will likely require sudo: desktop-file-install ./transmission-remote-magnet.desktop

Dell OS Recovery Tool under Linux Mini-HOWTO

Dell OS Recovery Tool Under Linux Mini-HOWTO

Since I was unable to find a specific answer to how can one create a Dell recovery disk from within Linux, I decided to write the steps here.

If you write the CD image directly to the USB drive (or create a new partition and write it there), the laptop will not boot. You need your USB media to be in FAT32 format with the contents of the recovery ISO.

  1. Download the recovery ISO from the support section of Dell website.
  2. Insert a USB Drive with enough capacity to hold the contents of the ISO image.
  3. Format the drive and create a filesystem where $USB_DEVICE is your USB drive (check with fdisk -l, it may be
