Guy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 1) I have linux on my USB stick. When I install programs, then reboot, the program is no longer there. How can I stop this from happening? 2) I need system utilities for Linux. Something identical to piriform speccy would be amazing (ie. something that will tell me frequency and type of RAM, clock speed/voltage/temperature of CPU, motherboard infomation, HDD information etc). Also a Prime95 equivilant for torture tests. I checked - speccy doesn't work well with Wine. Thanks for your help. EDIT: 'hardinfo' is a good program RIP TET "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegelstad Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 1) I have linux on my USB stick. When I install programs, then reboot, the program is no longer there. How can I stop this from happening? The program isnt there because the linux version of yours is loaded from the usb with only the original linux files when you reboot, solve this by installing linux or get the programs you need as portableapps.

It's not pretty, but it'll do the job. (Except for temperature monitoring- There's another program for that)Simply enter this command: (lshw stands for "list hardware")sudo lshwType in your password and it gives you all the information you need to know about your computer. As for temperature monitoring, there's a program and an applet for your gnome panel that can do that for you. Of course you should have installed Ubuntu before you attempt to install any programs for permanent use:sudo apt-get install libsensors4 sensors-applet sudo sensors-detectThen you might have to reboot. I don't really remember. Then right-click on the panel where you want to display whatever temperatures and add the applet, I think it's called "hardware sensors monitor".
