Is there any functionality gained (other than ease of use) in the graphical update tool not realized by using apt from the command line?

I am admittedly a command line junkie and still looking for...

Nice script! Had to learn what 'rfkill' was. Gotz new toolz :-D

Thanks.

Note to newbies: Take a look at the script (this or any other) and if you don't know what it does, don't run it (this...

Just a somewhat unbiased (or differently biased?) opinion, I understand and appreciate this stance. While Ubuntu is not my favorite Debian-based distro, it is the most globally accepted and good...

Getting straight to my point, should I install the System 76 Driver to distros other than Ubuntu? What about: Mint (Ubuntu-derived, not LMDE)? Debian? OK, now how about LMDE? OpenSUSE (or other...

command line junkie version of viewing multiple sources files:

find /etc/apt -depth -type f -name '*.list' -print|xargs cat|grep -v "#\|src"|tr -s '\n'|less
(so *that's* why they call it terminal)

Very well, I have no more excuses. <g> Excellent strategy, btw, thanks!

Got a question about uniqueness -- not so much the hardware, but the initial installation. Are there any configuration tweaks that would not be replicated if I wiped my disk and did a complete...

Thanks isantop,



The only performance issues I might be having are when resuming from Suspend. The system is quite sluggish as are the apps but this may be to do at least in part to the size...

Laptop: System76 Gazelle Professional (gazp6) running Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.



My 'problem' is that I wanted to disable the touchpad for an extended period of time and think this just might do the...

Is order of the keys pressed important? I learned this as R-S-E-I-U-B with the mnemonic, "Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring".

Well, thanks smarmytime, I think you have solved a 'problem' I am having and discovered a feature at the same time. My 'problem' is that I wanted to disable the touchpad for an extended period of...

Just got my new laptop and I have few questions about partitioning. I have not modified my partitions but get a warning from Disk Utility. I eventually want to add partitions but this warning is...

Apologies if this doesn't appear right -- I'm replying about Wifi drop outs due to kernel issues.

Not that yours is the same situation but I had similar issues using Debian sid a couple years ago...

Color me possibly confused, but I sense a potential duplication of efforts. I have had this or a similar problem for some time now and have seen relief of sorts with sid so I think that the solution...

I saw Torvald's post and understand the change in kernel version numbers is primarily cosmetic. But on the other hand, I have recently upgraded my sid installation (aptosid) and the problem seems to...

I was on there earlier and tried the /etc/modprobe.d/options.config trick (which didn't work) but noticed the rest of the files (and typically are) ".conf" (even though we say "config"), but got...

I see this thread is marked '[SOLVED]' but for the life of me I cannot parse the solution. If it is in here, please clue me in. If not, can you shed some light on the solution?


Thanks!

I'm easily confused.



If Ubuntu doesn't like your graphics card, why would you want to install it?



Are you trying to run Windows in a virtual machine? If Windows is already installed,...

Yes and no. The "dot" files (environment files in my above post) will live on the NTFS partition, but they will not be hidden in Windows and they could easily be trashed. What I would do is to do a...

So 30 GB for Windows then, or do you have an incredibly small HDD? (I have two old laptops, Linux only, with 20GB and 30GB HDDs.)

Assuming you mean 70% for Windows and 30% for Ubuntu, is your 30% all in one partition? Does this include '/home'?

There are many reasons to partition certain ways and each person has their...

Consider this a first-responder response: Do NOT open computer.
(At least not yet... ;-) )

If there were no disk problems before, and then you (or someone else) did something without opening the...

Thanks! I should have thought of that but didn't.

Tried (not real hard) to find the quote from the movie Kelly's Heroes by Oddball (Donald Sutherland) talking about the mods he did to his tank. ...
