When you minimize windows in linux to access the windows behind it, where does the one you minimized go to? Is there a way to actually see what has been minimized and allow mouse-click selection other than ALT TAB'ing?
Per the 1.8 tweak document: I opened Terminal, pasted the following sudo line, and hit ENTER. I was prompted to authorize with a password, and a little some'thun some'thun happened. That was it. I don't see anything in Applications or System showing a new 'bootchart' application. Where do new applications install to?
sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes bootchart
And lastly, in the final portion of TheeMan's tweaking document ( a very nice and informative read, by the way!) concerning the tweaking of EXT3 formatted filesystems, the following command is given as being the final thing needed to tie everything in:
sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/yourdrive
- My question here is, would anyone know the terminal command to type in to determine what 'yourdrive' is?
It sucks being a nOOb. Mucho grassyass..

-You don't see anything being registered with bootchart, its just "one of those" applications.
If you want to see the results of your boot times, just go in to var/log/bootchart and there should be all the results, just click on them and it will give you the picture.
A quick easy way to see what your /dev/xxx is, would be to just open up Gparted (System>>Admin>>Partition Editor) and this will give you a graphical identification.
or in a terminal you could do:
- Code: Select all
sudo fdisk -l
which will give you an idea of all your disks/partitions
