    nvidia-smi

Automount Windows Partition

• create a folder ( ex: in /home/user/Windows )
• find windows partition UUID:

ls -l /dev/disk/by-partlabel/
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/

• edit fstab

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

• add line in fstab (it will be mounted after reboot)

  UUID=<uuid found before> <path_to_folder_created> ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
  

• force mounting now:

  sudo mount -a

Update

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Hide icon of mounted drives from the dock

• install dconf editor
  • from store
• launch it and go to
  • org / gnome / shell / extensions / dash-to-dock

Fix sound issue (fixed in latest ubuntu release)

• create a file /etc/rc.local

  sudo nano /etc/rc.local

• copy script in file

  #!/bin/bash
  
  hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x500 0xf
  hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x477 0x74
