How to format ubuntu

Tips:
Do NOT use internet during the installation. Update everything later.

My last configurations (during the ubuntu installation):
order - description - size - file system - Mount point
1 - main linux system - 70GB - ext4 - / (root)
2 - other win/linux system - 70GB - don't use the partition -
3 - swap - 10 GB - swap -
4 - efi (this is for the partion table index, or something like) - 1GB - efi -
5 - home - the rest - ext4 - /home

How to install a video board (MY GPU nVidia GT 630M)

[this process was accomplished on Linux Ubuntu 12.04 LTS]


Just run on terminal:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

Note:
Some time later the installation, an icon on top bar appeared, asking to install additional driver "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (version 319-updates)" DON'T INSTALL THIS!

This was a tutorial extracted from:
http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/ 

FOR UBUNTU 14.04 LTS
Install the recommended driver from "additional driver" native support.
Don't forget to set this configurations, for power savings and lower the temperature: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/ReducedPower


FOR UBUNTU 12.04 LTS
The process above didn't work pretty well. The unity was converted to a 2d old one.

Then, install bumblebee:

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
2. Enable the Universe and Multiverse repositories (for bumblebee and nvidia packages respectively).
3. sudo apt-get update
4. Install Bumblebee using the default proprietary nvidia driver for 12.04 - 13.04 :
   sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia virtualgl linux-headers-generic
   • And for 13.10 :
   sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus linux-headers-generic
5. Reboot

Android: How to install and import Library Support v7 to your project

[process accomplished using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS + Eclipse (from ADT Bundle)]

1. Make sure you have downloaded the Android Support Library using the SDK Manager.
2. Create a library project and ensure the required JAR files are included in the project's build path:
   1. Select File > Import.
   2. Select Existing Android Code Into Workspace and click Next. (without copying files)
   3. Browse to the SDK installation directory and then to the Support Library folder. For example, if you are adding the appcompat project, browse to <sdk>/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/.
   4. Click Finish to import the project. For the v7 appcompat project, you should now see a new project titled android-support-v7-appcompat.
   5. In the new library project, expand the libs/ folder, right-click each .jar file and select Build Path > Add to Build Path. For example, when creating the the v7 appcompat project, add both the android-support-v4.jar and android-support-v7-appcompat.jar files to the build path. (don't import v4 now. It could be create incompatibilities if your project already imported it).
   6. Right-click the library project folder and select Build Path > Configure Build Path.
   7. In the Order and Export tab, check the .jar files you just added to the build path, so they are available to projects that depend on this library project. For example, the appcompat project requires you to export both the android-support-v4.jar and android-support-v7-appcompat.jar files.(don't check v4 now. It could be create incompatibilities if your project already did it).
   8. Uncheck Android Dependencies.
   9. Click OK to complete the changes.

You now have a library project for your selected Support Library that you can use with one or more application projects.
Add the library to your application project:

1. In the Project Explorer, right-click your project and select Properties.
2. In the category panel on the left side of the dialog, select Android.
3. In the Library pane, click the Add button.
4. Select the library project and click OK. For example, the appcompat project should be listed as android-support-v7-appcompat.
5. In the properties window, click OK.
