I have a Dell Vostro 1500. Before I wiped Windows XP off my hard drive in 2009, I had a full ~7 hrs battery capacity. I installed Ubuntu 9, and the capacity immediately dropped to about 11%. I couldn't figure out what to do, so I've just lived with the 20-30 minute battery life ever since.
I upgraded to Ubuntu 10, and the issue remained.
On Debian, I have multiple hard drives, how do I know where /var/www is?
Bonus: How do I check the capacity and consumed capacity and of my drives?
With the prices so high I'd like to buy only one hard drive first and wait for the prices to go down.
Can I fit only one hard drive?
Furthermore, do two drives have to be the same capacity when I buy the second hard drive?
I installed 6gb in c drive but i get on 3.3gb capacity and ubuntu is installed on 3.3gb instead of 6gb.
Note:it's installing ubuntu on 3.3gb hard drive and once installed the c drive has only 916mb,which is not right.
Hey everyone. I'm currently considering upgrading the hard drive in my x60 tablet pc which I use as a dual boot machine (Ubuntu 11.10 + XP Tablet 2005) and I'm wondering what the consensus might be on the best Linux-friendly brand of drive to go with.
Do this:sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1024k count=1Where X is the letter of the USB flash drive/hard drive that you want its partition tables totally erased.Be sure to type the correct letter, otherwise you might erase your system hard drive and lose data!Afterwards, be sure to reboot the PC and then check out if Gparted shows the capacity correctly.

I'd like to simply duplicate a hard disk drive to another hard disk drive of the same size.
I know I can simply do:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
(or whatever the names of the drives are in /dev).
Is there a better tool for this which will show me visual progress?
I just built my NAS hardware, these are the specs
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor

Memory: Kingston 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Red 3TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive X 6
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Case: Fractal Design Arc Mini MicroATX Mini T
Hardware requirements:
One Hard-drive for the OS
I used Western Digital Velocity Raptor 10000rpm 150GB (great performance) $160

I used my existing two 500GB Segate 7200rpm @$60 allup $120
Step 1:
