I didn't even know dpkg -l accepted arguments. I've always done "dpkg -l | grep foo". But, I have a feeling your extra package names are not considered search arguments and are instead considered...
Like I said, it's called bonding or sometimes multiplexing. It's possible to do with wired network cards and I don't see why it wouldn't be possible with wireless cards. It's non-trivial to setup...
I think you are trying to achieve something called bonding. I've never hear of anyone doing it with wifi cards and I don't know if it's useful to do in a home setting but, here is the wikipedia page...
Does it only happen when you first open the terminal or after every command? The problem is likely with your .bashrc file either way. Posting the output of this might help:
grep gedit...
The reason people would recommend not using ext3 is because of the journaling. ext4 is also journaled so there is no reason to choose it over ext3. Having said that, modern big name SSDs (Intel,...
That CPU has hyperthreading and, in userland, it's presented as 2 "CPUs". Under the covers, the kernel does know that it's not 2 physical CPUs and will act accordingly. You should be able to run...
There is no need to install 64-bit just because you have a 64-bit processor. As mentioned above, you can still use 32-bit with PAE but, it might not even be necessary. When you restart the...
That's not quite true. It used to be the case that the ondemand governor would, by default, shoot the CPU to max speed with very little provocation and keep it there. When that was true, it was...
mc4man has given some really great advice on this. Your info says you are running 8.04 but, you state you are running KDE4 so, I have to assume you are running a later version of Ubuntu. If you are...
I was a long time holdout when it came to 64-bit. For years I ran 32-bit with a PAE kernel because I didn't want to deal with the "hassles" of 64-bit. With 10.04, I took the plunge and went 64-bit....
Have you tried connecting the PC to any other wireless router? Have you tried connecting any other wireless device to the router in question? Doing those two things might help narrow down where the...
The Ubuntu instructions at the bottom of http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/alternative-to-200-lines-kernel-patch.html work just fine on my 10.04 machine. My machine is very responsive under usual load...
And that's partly because of sane default settings in Linux/Unix.
Most archive/compression formats store file attributes in the archive. When you unzip them, the attributes (like +x) are...
I think this annoyance really is a valid security feature. Someone above suggested changing your umask so that created files are u+x but, this kind of functionality is part of the reason why Windows...
I don't think it's possible to do that if both the host and guest are aware of the drive at the same time. I might be wrong but, the host kernel probably wouldn't be pleased about the guest fiddling...
The output of /proc/cpuinfo is showing that you only have a single physical CPU with 2 cores. I'm fairly sure that Atom CPUs lack the hardware needed to be placed in a multi-socket board.
If the disk isn't mounted, you could essentially turn the disk off with:
sudo hdparm -Y /dev/sda
Or just spin it down with:
You will probably need "-march=686 -m32" instead of "-arch=686 -arch=x86_64". That will make 32bit binaries that are capable of running on almost any machine. That doesn't mean they actually *will*...
Do you get any output from the following commands:
cd /
md5sum -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic.md5sums | grep -v "OK$"
If the problem is that it's annoying to get the case right on the commandline, you could add the following to ~/.inputrc (create it if it doesn't exist):
set completion-ignore-case on

I'm pretty sure the reason that the patches only support up to 2.6.30 is because they were integrated into the mainline kernel in 2.6.31. See:...
I just received a Starling Edubook a few hours ago and, though I'm quite pleased with the machine, the sounds produced by the speakers are nearly inaudible. I understand that hardware-wise, you...
Sort of. It depends on how you use your machine. Setting swappiness to a very low value can have some initial "feel good" results but, it may not be doing you as many favors as you think. A low...
And it has a poor editor.
