Everybody knows that Change is coming. So, let me help you guys to experience the change. Yesterday, Ubuntu team has announced Release Candidate for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Long Term Support, Updates up to 3 years) for Desktop, Servers, Cloud Computing and Netbooks. There would not be much change in Release Candidate and Final Release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Please refer the release notes for further information. Now, time to upgrade, I am sure this would be adventure ride for novice Ubuntu user.I used to do this upgrade during BETA cycle, sorry for being late.
Note: This article will help you to "Dial" your USB CDMA modem with Network Manager in Ubuntu, Assuming it's already working fine with wvdial. If you are modem is not detected or working by wvdial, then it's problem with Modem Detection in Ubuntu, if this is the case, then this solution is not for you.
Update: If you are on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lycid Lynx) Beta - 1, please test ModemManager [1] and submit your response here [2], your feedback would help us to push this package to final build.

To start more than one X window system in ubuntu, Go to command line interface(CLI) mode (press Alt+Ctl+F1) and login as a normal user. Now execute the following command and see the magic.
$ startx -- :1
This command will launch a second instance of X on the next available PTY, which might be PTY8 (Alt+ctrl+F8).
Tapped the power of shell filters using the following code to get the 10 smallest packages from the Sources file of the sources of a debian repository:
grep -A 3 '^Files:' Sources |
grep tar.gz |
tr -s ' ' |
cut -d ' ' -f 3,4 |
sort -n |
head
Since I was working on a shell on the repository itself, which seldom happens to most people, I could use this command. But even from your machine, you can find the largest source package using:
apt-cache showsrc $(dpkg -l | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 2) |
grep -A 3 '^Files:' |
grep tar.gz |
tr -s ' ' |
cut -d ' ' -f 3,4 |
sort -n |
head
Happy hacking
I am some what lazy in matter of Upgradation of OS, That's what happened to my Development OS. Recently i have decided to upgrade my Ubuntu 8.04, But it show that, i have to download some what about about 200 MB, And my home internet is working on
only 128 kbps. So for me to upgrade to latest patches required too much time and some manual interaction. Also we are getting some what good internet speed during night hours in India :( and also Higher bandwidth connection is not enough for my Pocket Size ;)
So, I have started this task at 11:00 PM in night, before sleeping :)
person@CREATIVEDESK:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done
