comment Compressing big files into several files ubuntu
There is old split and join and you want to install WinRAR on Ubuntu? And by the way, if you have a 2 GB raw data file, there is no way to compress it to a 100 MB.

There is a join command for that. You will have to join the files and then hand this to tar.

comment How to make a Beowulf Cluster with Ubuntu 12.10?
And what programs do you want to run? As far as I know, the program has to support it. You cannot just blindly combine the processing power, as far as I know it.

comment Scroll wheel does not scroll for a couple seconds every now and then, since a couple days
I painted the mouse wheel and realized that the scroll wheel itself is broken on the mouse. It stops scrolling at the same point every time. New mouse. But what is up with the ThinkPad TrackPoint?

Just use -delete instead of your xargs, it is safer and simpler.

My think-rotate is based on this. But that only queries the current rotation state of the screen. It has nothing to do with the physical state of the screen.

Thanks for this! I bundled it into my collection of ThinkPad scripts (think-rotate).

comment KDE log in screen doesn't show
Press any button to show the text messages. If that does not help, hold the shift key before Kubuntu starts booting. You will get into the GRUB boot loader. Edit the the command line and remove silent and splash. That way, you can see all the messages. Maybe you will see the problem then.

How do you ping? With IP address or hostname? If IP address, are the first three parts identitical?

comment how to install the rpm package jdk-7u9-linux-i586.rpm?
With Linux, you usually do not download stuff from websites. Check out the “Software Center” and search for the Java Devolpment Kit there.

Where? On the login screen? Or the user management?

You can always set nVidia only in the BIOS. That is not comfortable, though.
