Check Files Size Using ls Command

Sometimes we meet trouble in disk capacity. If we work within CLI, how do we know which files had the biggest size? Today, those kind of troubles won't be exist any longer. Just type the ls command with -h option.
Example, I want to check the files inside the /var directory. I just type the command below.
ls -lsah /var
I you confuse, just type man ls.

Simple Ubuntu Remastering with Remastersys

All of us had known that we could remaster Ubuntu with reconstructor, right? I thought that it'll works like remasterme on PClinuxOS, making live CD of a Linux system. But it's totally different. Reconstructor is less powerfull then remasterme.
Reconstructor only change the settings an Ubuntu iso then implement into the new one. But remasterme can back system of a PC up. So It'll be usefull and easier when we want to clone the settings to many PC's.
Fuih...
Then, what should we do? Is there any remasterme in other distro (ex: Ubuntu)? I've asking over Uncle Goog but nonsense.
I've tried to change the rpm of PClinuxOS remasterme to deb over alien. The conversion and installation in Ubuntu was success, but back then I found nothing the binary of remasterme. What a silly..
And the very last time I've found an application that works just like remasterme. And thanks God it made just for Ubuntu, named remastersys. Here's the how to.
1. Edit the repository apt-get
gedit /etc/apt/source.list
2. Add the following line
deb http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/repository remastersys/
3. Refresh the and install remastersys
apt-get update
apt-get install remastersys

Now you are ready using remastersys to create a remaster iso of your system or just only back your data up.

Inteprid Lack of Nvidia Driver

What the ... last night I got succesfully download my Inteprid iso and just a minute ago I've installed it on a PC (I'm working on it). But back then I realized there's something wrong, My Compiz isn't working. Oh I almost forgot that Ubuntu didn't automatically recognize Nvidia Driver. So I go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers but only this I got.


Rush to ubuntu-id milis and found the same problem I got. Said that it's right that the old Nvidia driver doesn't compatible to new Xorg. Here's the quote of Inteprid team.
The 71 and 96 series of proprietary nVidia drivers, as provided by the nvidia-glx-legacy and nvidia-glx packages in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, are not compatible with the X.Org included in Ubuntu 8.10. Users with the nVidia TNT, TNT2, TNT Ultra, GeForce, GeForce2, GeForce3, and GeForce4 chipsets are affected and will be transitioned on upgrade to the free nv driver instead. This driver does not support 3D acceleration.

So sayonara goodbye to Compiz in this PC. Nop!!
But don't stop until the last fight.
I finally found how to get some geek way from launchpad.

- Download NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.09-pkg1.run (or the other one if
you're running a 64 bit system) to your home folder (/home/simon/ for
me)
- switch to pty1 (CTRL+ALT+F1)
- log in
- sudo service kdm stop (will kill X server) (or gdm if you are running gnome)
- sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.09-pkg1.run
- say yes to everything (will compile nvidia kernel module)
- sudo reboot now (reboot now !!)

And that should be enough, login and check that "glxinfo | grep
direct" says "YES"

Will you try it?? Or just kick this Video Card out of the window.
