Grub 2 Basics. The open source ATI driver (xserver-xorg-video-ati) - Community. This guide shows you how to use the open source Radeon driver for some ATI/AMD graphics cards and APUs, which is part of the xserver-xorg-video-ati package. This driver provides 2D and 3D acceleration in your video hardware. For the most recent releases of Ubuntu (and its flavours) this driver is usually as fast as the closed-source, proprietary fglrx driver (called AMD Catalyst) from AMD Inc. Furthermore the Radeon driver supports some older chipsets that fglrx does not. The Radeon driver is already pre-installed in Ubuntu. First, check your graphic card name and chipset: sudo update-pciids #optional command, requires internet lspci -nn | grep -E 'VGA|Display' It should report something like this for your graphics card and/or APU: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
If the report shows two different hardware devices, then you probably have a "hybrid graphics" system, with an iGP (integrated graphics processor inside the CPU) and a dedicated GPU. Notes man radeon. Comprehensive Multimedia & Video Howto - Ubuntu F. THIS TUTORIAL IS OUTDATED/ABANDONED AND INCLUDES REFERENCES TO REPOSITORIES THAT NO LONGER EXISTEDITED ON 10TH DECEMBER, 2011--NEW VERSION--This howto was previously laid out in sections, but now I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. I've left the old howto below as it may still be useful.First of all, if you haven't already added the Medibuntu repo to your list of sources and enabled the Partner repo, copy and paste the following command into a terminal and execute it:Code:sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list -cs).list && sudo sed -i "/^# deb .
Google Earth. Google Earth puts a planet's worth of imagery and other geographic information right on your desktop. View exotic locales like Maui and Paris as well as points of interest such as local restaurants, hospitals, schools, and more.

Using make-googleearth-package Google Earth is also available from googleearth-package. Uninstallation You can uninstall Google Earth as any other package. This command is all on one line. Rm -rf ~/.googleearth Qt. Medibuntu. Free software for physicists. There’s a lot of free software available on the Web for academic and technical purposes.
In the absence of anything better to do, here’s a list of the stuff I’m aware of and rate as being worth a try. First, though, some pointers to bigger lists on Wikipedia: and this very nice list from SciPy Drawing Feynman diagrams There are many ways to draw Feynman diagrams.
