Hi, I just started to learn about Linux. I had follow the instruction here(under file there) by typing " file <name of file> " but it always show "No such file or directory" .
Do I make any mistake?? The picture below shows how I did it.

Your terminal's working directory is not the same as the directory which contain the file. You need to first

I still got problem XD
I'm learning about copy, move and remove file from here
Can you explain or give me a more specific example instead of the general example shown in the guide?
The command that I don't understand are listed below.
1. cp file1 file2 file3 directory
2. cp file1 dir1 (what's the difference between this and cp file1 file 2?)
3. cp -R dir1 dir2 (what's the difference between between this and cp file1 file 2?)
4. mv file1 file2 file3 dir1
5. mv dir1 dir2 (what's the difference between this and mv file1 file2?)
6. rm -r dir1 dir2 (what's the difference between this and rm file1 file2?)
Thank you.

1. Copy file1, file2, file3 from your working directory into destination directory

2. Copy file1 into dir1. Difference with "cp file1 file2" is that it copies file1 and file2 within the same directory

3. copies directories along with its contents. not the same with cp file1, file2 because it copies whole folders instead of single files

4. Moves files file1, file2, and file3 into dir1

5. command not valid because for this you have to use mvdir instead of mv. mv only for files

6. deletes contents of folders dir1 and dir2 recursively, which means deletes the directory itself along with contents. "rm file1 file2" only deletes file1 and file2 within your working directory.

Just wondering, I had Ubuntu installed on my laptop using Wubi. Then today I transferred the hard disk of the laptop into another laptop of the same model - except that it uses an AMD Turion64 TL-56 x2 1.8GHz, whereas the laptop I took it out from is using an AMD Turion64 TL-58 x2 1.9GHz.

What I would like to know is that is it possible for me to select and run Ubuntu when I come across the OS selection menu? I tried, but I can't load anything.

Do I have to reconfigure anything to make it work again as it should?

EDIT: Nevermind, I seem to have solved that issue... or rather, it didn't need any solving at all. Just a slow bootup which made me wait rclxub.gif

theres no such thing as mvdir and issuing mv dir1 dir2 is totally valid.. by issuing that command, dir1 will be copied into dir2 along with their contents if dir2 is already exist.. if dir2 is not yet created/exist, dir1 will be renamed to dir2 wink.gif

Did you install Ubuntu via Wubi? Because from what I read Ubuntu installations done by Wubi does not support hibernation sad.gif

is that means that you can hibernating your box before ?
how much swap did you got ?

it is better to have swap partition twice the size of RAM..
but doesnt have to exceed 2GB..

e.g:
RAM 256MB, swap should be 512MB
RAM 1GB, swap should be 2GB
RAM 4GB, swap should be 2GB

Yup. Before this can hibernate. nod.gif

Ek. Can't really remember how much my swap is, but my RAM is 2GB, perhaps the swap is 2GB also sweat.gif

the 2 times ur memory for swap is for older *nix systems (e.g. SunOS).. For newer Linux OS if ur physical memory is large enough you wudnt even need a swap space.
This is because swapping is actually causing your system to run slower (RAM read/write is way faster than disk read/write and ur swap is on a disk).

However if u think the applications that u run needs more memory than the physical memory can provide, just add in the swap space of your desire size.
Ideally it is best,for newer Linux OS,to have your swap size the same as your RAM size ; 2 or even 3 times more than ur RAM for older *nix system smile.gif

i encountered same problem b4, solved it about one month ago, using the same model that you have, only have sound when using headphones, i bet you have wifi problem too.., the trick is you need to update your kernel to 2.6.32.24 ., bcause it recognize the wrong hardware

actually, you gonna need a swap space if you're going to use hibernation, at least for ubuntu it is.. nod.gif

and after googling a few minutes, i got this bit of information about how hibernation (suspend-to-disk) works..:

CODE
1. User requests for software suspend (e.g: hibernation button clicked)
2. All the running processes are given the suspend signal
3. The devices are frozen so that they don’t change the system state when the snapshot is taken
4. The memory image is atomically copied with interrupts disabled
5. Frozen devices are awakened so that the image can be written
6. The image is written to swap
7. Devices are suspended and the system powered off

and to resume (e.g: power button swicth on), the process will reversed.

do correct me if i'm wrong.. smile.gif

you can check by issuing free -m smile.gif

and if its to small, expand it.. at least, to be equal with your RAM coz the system will place your-currently-running-application image on swap partition.. imagine if your swap partition is 512MB and image-to-be-place is 1.5GB.. hmm.gif
