Yes, I’m a dual boot user. Ubuntu and Windows XP. The reason why I am still using Windows is because most of my software to work is Windows based, it’s not ported to Linux yet. I am using Thunderbird Portable on Windows and another Thunderbird on Ubuntu. I am using the same version of mail client (Thunderbird). I want to read the same mailbox and address book on both OS. So, I can still read the same mailbox on Ubuntu or on Windows.

If you are an Ubuntu/Linux user who has another partition on your hard disk, such as NTFS, FAT32 or any other type of partition. Every time you boot, you need to mount it manually, or you can create a script to make it automatically mounted. This tips is for those of you want to do automatically mount partition on every time you boot (using GUI) but don’t know how to make that script.

First, you need to install “Disk Manager”, you can use Synaptic to install it or you can use this command, both methods are the same.

One of Intrepid Ibex special features is easy switching to various type of wireless internet access. You can switch from Wifi and Cellular (GPRS, 3G or HSDPA) network easily. On certain devices, you even don’t need command line anymore. I am using Huawei E220 modem, while on Hardy 8.04, I should use some tricks to make it work (still on command line). Now on Intrepid Ibex, you can setup the connection on GUI.

Upgrading Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

Category : Gadget, In English, Laptop, Linux, Tools, Software & Technology, Ubuntu

This is my second time upgrading my Ubuntu. Last time I was upgrade from Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) to Hardy Heron LTS (Ubuntu 8.04). At that time it was successful. I was upgrading ubuntu (not a fresh install). It took very long time, may be around more or less 27 hours to complete. WOW… It’s was so long. Thank to Indra for his kindness provide me his bandwidth for free. Even I’m already install many application at that time, but I don’t find any errors after upgrading at that time. Everything was good. I just need to re-install modem and sound for that new kernel. After that, everything was normal.

Now, the new Intrepid Ibex is coming. This is new version of Ubuntu 8.10. It’s time for me to upgrade. But, many of my application are not coming only from Ubuntu, many of my application already mixed with another linux application. So, I’m trying to upgrade my ubuntu at the moment. I try to upgrade rather than do a fresh install. Even my Ubuntu seem already slowing in speed and it seems like it need to re-install again. The problem was actually because I don’t want to re-install again, I was hoping after I upgrade, It will speedup my Ubuntu.

So, I was try to upgrade my Ubuntu last Friday. After I started to upgrade, I found that I need to download 1960 packages. WOW… It will take very long time to download. You can find the progress after 16 hours of download here.
