I've fixed this in my tutorial by adding

grep -E "(image|headers)"
This limits it to packages starting with "linux" and containing either "image" or "headers" in their name. This makes the dry...

I wrote a tutorial a while ago to clean up old kernels from Ubuntu. You can find it here. http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/10/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-with-one-command/

It's one real long bash...

It's possible that the Linux driver for your wireless card only supports WEP. You should be able to see what wireless chipset is used on you laptop by entering the following terminal command:
...

I think it's telling the power management system to re-initialize the wifi card when you resume from sleep. But that's just my best guess.

The following has worked for me on previous versions of Ubuntu and Linux Mint. I haven't loaded 12.10 onto my laptop yet, but it should work.


sudo touch /etc/pm/power.d/wireless

After that...

Since you mention that you have problems when it's been suspended more than 20 minutes, presumably it works if it's been suspended for only 10 minutes or so. This makes me think that it might be...

I haven't messed with my TV card in quite a while, but I recall that I had to run a script to do a channel scan to set up the channel configuration first. There was also a step required to install...

I don't want to discourage you from installing Ubuntu because it's great. However, I don't think you need it in order to achieve s-off on the HTC Incredible (the phone that I have). There is a long...

The multiple listings in your GRUB menu are most likely just different versions of the Linux Kernel. I've written a few posts on my blog on how to remove the old kernels from your system. You'll want...

You should be able to delete the files from the command line using sudo. Open a terminal and navigate to you USB stick. Then use this command

sudo rm -R Greys.Anatomy.S07.HDTV.XviD-TvT

This sounds like an issue that came up previously on my MSI Wind. I haven't installed 11.10 on it yet, so I don't know if it's the same issue. Here's the thread:...

I've written a few blog posts on removing the old kernels from Ubuntu. If you want the quick command line one-liner, follow this one:...

If you want a full LAMP setup (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) you can follow my tutorial here:

It also includes instructions...

If you want to resize a bunch of photos at once, I really like Image Magick. It's a command line only program, but it's very powerful.

You can install it with

sudo apt-get install imagemagick...

To access ext2/3/4 partitions from Windows, I've used ext2fsd in the past. It's worked well for me. You can configure it to auto mount when you start Windows or you can manually mount from the system...

OK, I'm guessing it's partman that is used by the alternate CD. It can be found in the ubiquity package.

sudo apt-get install ubiquity

Then launch with

sudo partman

cfdisk is another option, although I don't have experience using it. It should already be available on your system. Don't know if it has all of the options you mentioned though.

I'm not sure which partition manager is used in the alternate install CD, but GParted is an easy graphical one to use. You can install it with

sudo apt-get install gparted

Here's a little tutorial I did on using while loops in a bash script: http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/09/bash-to-basics-the-while-do-loop/

Thanks, sarang. Worked for me. Should work fine since I don't have and SSD's. Too bad I'm seeing drive errors now, but it's better to know about it than not I guess.

I'm also running Jaunty on my U100 because of the flicker issue. I have tried Lucid Beta1 and the flicker issue is resolved. Unfortunately the webcam and Bluetooth don't work. These may have been...

You can change the mouse button mapping with the xmodmap command. You can make the settings permanent by saving them in a .Xmodmap file either in your home directory, or in the system wide...

Are you using a stock CPU heatsink with the regular thermal interface pad that it comes with?

I run on an aftermarket heatsink using Arctic Silver thermal grease. I find that it tends to melt...

Did you remove wicd when you installed network manager? The two might be fighting with each other. You can sudo apt-get remove wicd without losing the package. It will still remain on disk if you...

The Update Manager was probably already running. You might have noticed a new icon (looks like a star with an arrow pointing down) in the system tray in the upper right corner. This runs...
