Ubuntu8.10 installation and configuration experience

1. Ubuntu power management:

Ubuntu power management is not so rich and friendly. There are two problems:

1) When battery mode is used, the screen brightness is automatically reduced. Solution: in system-preference-power management, set it.

2) When switching from battery mode to AC mode, the system will not automatically restore the screen brightness. Solution: Add "brightness applet" to the Panel and adjust the brightness manually.

2. The application menu bar of the main menu of Ubuntu is missing:

Reference: http://www.busfly.cn/post/ubuntu-application-menu.html

Delete. config/menus/application. menu and log on again.

At the beginning, I deleted all the configurations in the menu bar, sudo Rm-R. config/menus restart starts from recovery mode, but the menu is back. As a result, all the programs and custom Startup menu items under wine go to "other.

3. How to delete the menu left after wine uninstallation

Wine is annoying. Do not clean your ass when uninstalling it. solution:

To ~ /. Local/share/applications/wine/programs: delete some links. It doesn't matter if you delete them ~ /. Wine is also deleted .~ /. Local/share/can delete other related unnecessary items.

4. Ubuntu instant chat room

If you have any questions, please contact us:

Sudo apt-Get install xchat (cross-platform, IRC Protocol)

By default there is an official English server, set Ubuntu-CN server: http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/IRC%E5%9C%A8xChat%E4%B8%AD%E7%9A%84%E8% AE %BE%E7%BD% AE %E8%AF%B4%E6%98%8E

5. delete files that cannot be deleted from the recycle bin:

Sudo Rm-fr $ home/. Local/share/trash/files /*

6. Solve the slow startup caused by "Starting MTA..." In Debian:

Cause:

MTA (message transfer agent, Exim installed by default) will perform DNS lookups (DNS lookup) operations at startup, and if it is to dial the number online or like I use reijie, the system will try to connect to the network
Connection (even if the connection fails), this will take a long time, causing slow startup. (here is a detailed explanation: in Exim 4 for Debian
2.1.1.10. Keep Number of DNS queries minimal (Dial-on-demand ))

Solution: sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

Keep following the default settings of the email server until you ask:

Do I have the minimum number of DNS queries (Dial-on-demand )?

Select: Yes

We recommend that you delete the exim4 STARTUP script in the/etc/init. d/directory.

8. Solve the Problem of automatically mounting windows partitions:

Http://hi.baidu.com/skyperson/blog/item/f340810100e3b0d3277fb5ae.html

Sudo CP/etc/fstab. Bak

Sudo gedit/etc/fstab

Ls-L/dev/Disk/by-UUID # This command is used to view the partition list (displayed by UUID)

After adding the file, follow these steps:

UUID, volume label, file system, encoding, do not change

UUID = aeb4e998b4e96377/Media/wxpvol NTFS utf8, umask = 007, gid = 46 0 1

UUID = 7808b44208b3fd66/Media/software NTFS utf8, umask = 007, gid = 46 0 1

UUID = 44ac-01db/Media/pagefile vfat utf8, umask = 007, gid = 46 0 0

UUID = 8ac5-a8fa/Media/media vfat utf8, umask = 007, gid = 46 0 0

UUID = cc88fd0f88fcf932/Media/work NTFS utf8, umask = 007, gid = 46 0 1

UUID = dcd884b6d8849106/Media/test NTFS utf8, umask = 007, gid = 46 0 1

UUID = 6eeb-b0a1/Media/my_document vfat utf8, umask = 007, gid = 46 0 0

The last item 1 indicates checking partitions at startup, and 0 indicates skipping the check.

For more information, see UUID:

1). vol_id

In the/lib/udev directory, sudo vol_id/dev/sdax can view the information of the corresponding partition:

#/Lib/udev/vol_id/dev/sda6

Id_fs_usage = filesystem

Id_fs_type = NTFS

Id_fs_versions = 3.1

Id_fs_uuid = b4f73d74fc18b699

Id_fs_uuid_enc = b4f73d74fc18b699

Id_fs_label =

Id_fs_label_enc =

Id_fs_label_safe =

2). blkid

# Sudo blkid/dev/sda6

/Dev/sda6: UUID = "b4f73d74fc18b699" type = "NTFS"

3). ls-L/dev/Disk/by-UUID

9. Some interesting eggs in apt:

Enter the following command in the terminal:

Apt-get moo

Aptitude-V moo

Aptitude-VV moo

Aptitude-vvv moo

Aptitude-vvvv moo

Aptitude-vvvvv moo

Aptitude-vvvvvv moo

Aptitude-vvvvvvv moo
