Spring Cleaning: 10 tips to get a fresh start on online safety from Google

Website blacklisted or "not safe to visit" by Google? Here is how to fix & stop badwares. (Experience Sharing)

[Oudated: Sorry the method below is outdated and archived] Please visit our new tutorial on How to install Google Drive Grive2 on Ubuntu

Google introduced Google Drive on April 24, 2012 and promised Linux support “coming soon.” That was nearly two and a half years ago. There’s now a somewhat “official” Google Drive client for Linux, but it’s probably not what you want.
Google has continued to affirm that they’re “still working on it” for the last few years. Google does use Linux internally, so it’s no surprise there’s a solution created by a Google Drive developer.
Grive is a Google Drive (online storage service) client for GNU/Linux systems.It allows the synchronization of all your files on the cloud with a directory of your choice and the upload of new files to Google Drive.

    En mas de una ocasión probablemente se habrá sufrido el error “No se pudo bloquear el directorio de administración (/var/lib/dpkg/), ¿quizás haya algún otro proceso utilizándolo” en Ubuntu, pues bien la solución es muy simple.
    ubuntu-mir-logoPara eliminar este dicho error, simplemente abrimos la terminal y colocamos lo siguiente:
    sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
    (Click enter y luego se coloca)
    sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
    (y click en enter)
    Con esto habremos salido del dichoso error molesto de por sí.

    Paketlisten werden gelesen… Fertig
    Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.
    Statusinformationen werden eingelesen…. Fertig
    Einige Pakete konnten nicht installiert werden. Das kann bedeuten, dass

    Die folgenden Informationen helfen Ihnen vielleicht, die Situation zu lösen:
