I saw the intel-microcode in the ubuntu repositories and was wondering if it was worth installing on my Yorkfield-6M based system. If so, what are the benefits from this package?
Hi, I'm running ubuntu 9.10 which has gcc4 (libstdc++6) installed, and I need to install a program that requires libstdc++5 that comes with gcc3. I don't see gcc-3 listed when I run "apt-cache search" so:
Is it necessary to install gcc-3 to achieve libstdc++5 ? If so where can I get it ?
Is there a way to install just libstdc++5
Would a soft link to libstdc++6 do or is it not recommended ?
Thanks

I was using my LCD monitor with my laptop properly with Windows 7. But I am facing a problem in Ubuntu.
It connects in a proper way but on pressing backspace it automatically moves back to my laptop screen. Sometimes pressing any key moves back to my laptop screen.
How can I fix this behavior?
Is it possible to dual boot between Ubuntu and W7.vhd? If anyone knows please tell me how.

I need to have two instances of Tomcat 6 running on Ubuntu 10.04. I know it should be doable pretty simply by something like:
copy /var/lib/tomcat6 to /var/lib/tomcat6-2
modify ports in /var/lib/tomcat6-2/conf/server.xml
copy /etc/init.d/tomcat6 to /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2
modify /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2...
...but my problem is that I'm unsure what I should modify in /etc/init.d/tomcat6-2. Chaging the NAME in the beginning of the file clearly is not enough.

I have set up a Ubuntu PC on a next work that is behind a ISA Proxy.
When I run the command
sudo apt-get update
I get several messages with this message:
502 Proxy Error (The ISA Sever denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator)
The computer can see the internet and adding the proxy settings in the Network Preferences does not help. When I do a ifconfig Im on a 192 address which is not the usual subnet our PCs are on.
Any ideas?
i have ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 with nvidia 9800 gt and nvidia driver version 270.41.06
my video card has two DVI sockets, but i only use single monitor configuration. Now, i think the main DVI socket might be busted, so i want to try to enable the other as the main one, however, i don't know how to achieve that. I tried just plugging the monitor in that socket but it won't just auto-detect (it would have been way too easy to just work)
My only issue that is stopping me from moving to Linux is the dual monitor support. If I use TwinView, maximizing an application causes it to take over both monitors, not maximize in the current monitor the way it works in Windows. If I use two separate X windows, certain programs default to a specific monitor with no way of moving it to the other desktop. Has anyone else had these issues? Are there any detailed dual monitor resources.for Linux/Ubuntu I can read?
I noticed that the username I used to install Ubuntu got added to a bunch of groups in the /etc/group file. I'm getting rid of unneeded accounts. Would anything break if I removed that first account?
Which command should I use to download security uodates for Ubuntu Hardy?
Ideally would like the command to also create a log file listing files downloaded, install and any errors.
Thanks for help.
