My Lubuntu notes

Change mouse cursor speed


xset m 10 4

If at startup the mouse is slow again, put this command in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart.

Building the latest version of Boost

Install an older version of Boost using Synaptic. Then download and extract the newest version. In the extracted folder, for example 'boost_1_46_1' use bjam:


./bootstrap
./bjam --build-dir=/tmp/build-boost toolset=gcc stage


./bootstrap
sudo ./b2 --build-dir=/usr/local/lib/boost
