How do I change hostname in Ubuntu Linux?

You can see or change hostname of your computer with hostname command.

You need privileged access to use this command.

In terminal, typing hostname gives you the hostname of the computer.

hostname xyz changes the name of your computer to xyz.

Adobe stand alone flash player for Linux is available. Most of us only need flash plugin for browser to view swf. But sometimes we or most of the times developer wishes for the availability of stand alone flash player for Linux. Stand alone flash player means that you don't need anything to run swf other than the player itself. Yes, you don't need browser or any media player. Get it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html or download the version 10 directly from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flash_player_10_linux_dev.tar.gz Not only that you can create self running binaries from the stand alone player.

[Solved] invalid partition table on /dev/sda -- wrong signature 0.

Roshan Karki Anonymous
I was trying to use Disk Utility program to edit some partition in my system. But I got a strange error message "invalid partition table on /dev/sda -- wrong signature 0." and couldn't proceed. So I tried with gparted(Gnome Partition Editor). The result wasn't any different. Today while clean installing Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot, the installer said that there was no partition in my disk. While trying live CD, I could find all the partition and read data. If you also encounter any of the above problem, simple run fdisk by sudo fdisk /dev/sda press p and then press w . You'll see a message "The partition table has been altered!". Now try running the partition editor or the installer again.
