[Ubuntu] 9.10 install Nvidia driver

After upgrading to 9.10, kernel version is 2.16.31.1x. If you want to install Nvidia official driver, you'll get some error messge, and can't complete it. I found the bin file that need to be patched. The following is the steps:

1. Go to Nvidia site to download driver (version: 185.18.14)
2. Download the Script and save it in the same location of driver(right click to save it.)(filename:nvidia-185.18.14.patch)

3. Open Terminal and go to the location of downloaded driver. Execute the following command

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run --apply-patch nvidia-185.18.14.patch

then will generate a new file , the name is like NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2-custom.run

4. Install patched Nvidia driver

4.1 ctrl+alt+F1

4.2 shutdown X window

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

4.3 run the driver installer

sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2-custom.run

4.4 Start X window

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

[Ubuntu]磁碟管理工具(fdisk)

在Ubuntu下除了以前介紹的GParted外，現在在系統(System)->管理(Administration)->磁碟工具(Disk Utility)
也可以進行fdisk的動作，在磁碟工具中可以進行分割區(Partition)的建立(create)、刪除(delete)、格式設定(ext3,ext4,ntfs等)，待動作完成後，可至電腦(Computer)中在磁碟機(Driver)上按右鍵(right click)，選擇格式化(format)即可完成新磁碟機的所有動作了。

[Ubuntu]備份及還原(Backup and Restore) Ubuntu system

在Windows的世界大家都會想到用 ghost或clonezilla去備份整個作業系統，在Ubuntu有下列兩個方式可以參考
1.使用tar指令(適用於所有的Linux系統)
