I twittered about the memory usage is fat in Unity 3D. Although my T410 works fine. I still want to try to switch to Unity 2D. After that, the default icon in launcher is too large (48×48) as in Unity 3D. But the rezise bar in Appearance is gone.
See the reference post for how to do it.

Notepad++ is my primary text editor in Windows and I also have Perl installed in Cygwin.
To Markdown files under Notepad++ with NppExec plugin, I use following scripts:
A bash shell script to call Markdown.pl:
[sourcecode language=”bash”]
#!/bin/bash
#c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l "/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/$USER/Markdown.sh" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) $(NAME_PART)
current_path=cygpath -u $1
current_dir=cygpath -u $2
out_file=$current_dir/$3.html
echo "Markdowning file: "$current_path
~/Markdown_1.0.1/Markdown.pl "$current_path" > "$out_file"
echo "Result file: "$out_file[/sourcecode]
The NppExec script:
[sourcecode]
c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l "/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/$(SYS.USERNAME)/Markdown.sh" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "$(NAME_PART)"
NPP_OPEN $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(NAME_PART).html
[/sourcecode]
The HTML will be opened in Notepad++. I didn’t try to find a way to open it in browser directly yet.

There is a very simple command:
[sourcecode language=”bash”]dpkg -l ‘linux-‘ | sed ‘/^ii/!d;/’"$(uname -r | sed "s/(.)-([^0-9]+)/\1/")"’/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* ([^ ])./\1/;/[0-9]/!d’ | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge[/sourcecode]

When waking from suspend, there are 3 error messages appear about Watchdog:
[63660.938812] watchdog: only one watchdog can use /dev/watchdog.
[63660.938816] watchdog: error registering /dev/watchdog (err=-16).
[63660.938819] mei: unable to register watchdog device.
The solution is:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
add the line:
blacklist mei
Save and reboot.

My Windows 7 desktop complained the disk space usage is near to 90%. After checked my Ubuntu VM, its virtual disk expands to around 200G although it only contains around 100G data.
So I googled some posts which have instructions:
After compacted the VDI file, my desktop has more 100G free space now.
Reboot the Ubuntu VM, and it shows a message:
mountall: disconnected from Plymouth
Google again. The swap partition is not mounted correctly. Use following command to check it:
free -m
The total of swap is 0.
Try some commands from “Mountall fails on startup“, then the swap is back and the message is gone.
Final step, there is a very large hiberfil.sys file and I let my desktop keep awake for a long time. I think I don’t need hibernation, so I disable it by following article, “How to disable and re-enable hibernation on a computer that is running Windows“.
