After installing the Dropbox on latest Elementary OS Loki icons of dropbox is missing in wingpanel.

For fixing this issue you just need modify dropbox.desktop file.Open the dropbox.desktop file in your favourite editor.

then replace the line with Exec with below line and then restart you machine.

This solution worked for me and i hope it will work for you as well.

By default Google chrome do not have minimize button on Elementary OS and we can't enable it by using Elementary tweak tool. But we can make it enable by modifying the gConfigurations. Just type the below line in terminal and its done.

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize:maximize:close"

Yesterday, i installed fresh copy of Elementary OS Freya on my Samsung laptop. But after installing i faced a weired problem that my touch-pad of laptop not working but every thing just working fine with external mouse.

So, i search on Google and find out so many solution but only the below one works for me.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/focaltech-dkms
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install focaltech-dkms
sudo modprobe -r psmouse 
sudo modprobe psmouse

I hope this will work for you as well if you are also facing the same issue.

To make it permanent create a file with below command you can use your favorite editor.

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf

add this line to file options psmouse proto=imps and save the changes.
