Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). Some Howtos and tips for fancy desktop.

recently I had installed Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) for my laptop. During the installation I had to some settings done and fix some problems. I've taken some notes however, I thought it would be nice to share with others. I guess that's what GNU is for.

fix ALC861 sound volume problem

This is already fixed http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogasawara/hardy-buglist.html

If you don't want for the updates to get uploaded to repositories just do:

#sudo apt-get install module-assistant

#module-assistant a-i alsa-source

reload the sound modules (or restart) and it should be working.


CPU temperature applet

#apt-get install Computer Temperature monitor
(or something like that.)

otherwise look for the package using...

#apt-cache search temperature

서버 OS 재설치

한동안 페도라 4로 운영하던 내 서버가 자주 먹통이되길래 무슨 문제인가 싶어 좀 들여보다가

귀찮은 마음에 그냥 OS날리고 새로 설치하기로 마음을 굳혔다.

슥 둘러보니 우분투도 괜찮고 해서 일단 서버버전으로 설치해 봤는데...

(서버버젼은 x-window가 설치되어 있지 않아서 훨신 가볍다!)


이럴수가... apt-get은 정말 마법의 명령어다. 그동안 컴파일하고 의존성때문에 다른패키지까지 깔고 했던게

그냥 설치되니 윈도우마냥 쉽다!


그래도 각 배포판마다 설정에 특색이 있어서 예전 쓰는 방식대로 세팅을 하는데 시간이 조금 걸린듯.?

아.... 너무 편해졌어요 ㅋㅋ
