| testing | <reply> To test your hardware, you can use the packages memtest86+ (for memory, can be started from the !GRUB boot menu), smartmontools (for hard drives), cpuburn (which MIGHT damage your processor if cooling is not adequate!). Additionally, lm-sensors can be useful to monitor temperatures and fan speeds - See also !benchmark | LjL Added on: 2012-01-21 13:04:52 Last edited by LjL Last modified: 2012-01-21 13:06:05 Requested 38 times |

| notunity-#ubuntu+1 | <deleted><reply> Ubuntu Oneiric uses GNOME 3 with the !Unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell on Oneiric, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place a new entry in the Sessions dropdown on the login window. | rww Added on: 2011-09-11 16:18:01 Last edited by Pici Last modified: 2011-10-13 14:09:24 Requested 36 times |
