    What's the first thing that you do once you've logged onto Linux? Is it to manually start up a processes such as Apache or MySQL, or even start your network connection? Or do you have to stop applications that have started up without your telling them to, and which are overloading your machine? If you have unwanted processes starting at boot time, or find yourself starting necessary services manually, let's make your life a little bit easier by introducing you the world of Linux services.

  3. Ubuntu: dynamic library dependencies
    Here are commands that help investigate dynamic library dependencies. Check their man pages for more details.

    ldd

    displays the dependencies of a library.
    E.g.: ldd -r <path to .so>

    nm

    displays the symbols in a library.
    E.g.: nm -D <path to .so>

  4. Ubuntu: No Sound after Suspend Dell D620 - Ubuntu Forums
    Here is the fix: Create a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/49sound with the following script:

    function kill_sound_apps() {

    pidsnd=$(lsof | grep /dev/snd | awk '{ print $2 }')
    pidmixer=$(lsof | grep /dev/mixer | awk '{ print $2 }')
    piddsp=$(lsof | grep /dev/dsp | awk '{ print $2 }')
    kill $pidsnd $pidmixer $piddsp

    }

    case "$1" in
    hibernate|suspend)
    kill_sound_apps
    echo `date` shut down sound for pm
    ;;
    thaw|resume)
    modprobe -r snd_hda_intel
    modprobe snd_hda_intel
    echo `date` starting sound coming out of pm
    ;;
    *)
    ;;
    esac
    exit $?

    chmod the file as root 'chmod 755 /etc/pm/sleep.d/49sound'.

    On shutdown, all sounds servers are stopped. On startup, the sound module is unloaded and loaded again. I'm not sure why this script is not in the distro when the snd_hda_intel module is used.
