To get started, all you need to do is type in “aviary.com/” in front of the URL of the page you’d like to screenshot. From there, Aviary opens up its web-based image editor, where you can do things like crop, resize, and adjust the quality of the image, as well as use some of Aviary’s editing tools, like adding text, doodles, or arrows.
For easier use, this also comes with a bookmarklet which if clicked, it creates a screenshot of the page you're currently on and then takes you to the web-based image editor. To use the bookmarklet, simply drag this to your bookmarks toolbar: Screen Capture.
Once you’re satisfied with the image, all you need to do is either save it your desktop or save it online. From there, you can share it on the social sites of your choice, or do as us bloggers do and embed it in your blog posts.
This launch follows the release of Aviary’s Firefox plugin, Talon, which does essentially the same thing, but requires both Firefox and an install.

sudo alsactl store
The above command saves your sound level but does not restore it after restarting. To restore it, you need to run the following command:sudo alsactl restore
To have your sound restored after each system restart, edit the /etc/rc.local file and paste the above command right above "exit 0":gksu gedit /etc/rc.local
And add alsactl restore there.chmod +x /etc/rc.local

gksu gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
And search for: default-sample-channels. Remove ";" from the begining of the line, and instead of "= 2", change it to the number of speakers your system has. For instance if you have a 5.1 system, the number should be 6, for a 7.1 system: 8 and so on.; default-sample-channels = 2
And this is how it's supposed to look after:default-sample-channels = 6
killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio
alsamixer
speaker-test -c 6
Again, replace the number with your number of speakers.Author: Andrew | Date: June 28, 2009 | View Comments | Tags: addons, firefox, weave
