How to fix "no WLAN after resume" problem in Ubuntu/Hardy

I have experienced problems using WLAN after resume from suspend in Ubuntu/Hardy. More precisely the wlan0 link came up and was usable for a couple of minutes. Then the wlan0 link was still available but no data came through and not even a simple ping ICMP request was possible. I assume the same problem occurs not only with wireless networks but also with wired networks (ethernet/eth0). My investigations revealed that the problem came up because I use a custom network configuration which is described in /etc/network/interfaces . Apparently such configurations conflict with pre-installed (KDE's/GNOME's GUI based) graphical network configuration tools which I do not use. Removing these tools solved the problem for me:
aptitude purge network-manager network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-kde network-manager-openvpn network-manager-pptp network-manager-vpnc networkstatus
Probably you do not have to remove all of these packages but only a few of them.

Using this new VM may improve the Java performance and increase benchmark scores but performance drawbacks can be expected as well.

Tuning ext4 for performance with emphasis on SSD usage

The obligatory disclaimer: The more performance you gain, the more data integrity you loose! But if you want to tune something like a file system, I strongly assume that you know what you are doing :) These tips apply to all major Linux distributions like Fedora/Red Hat, OpenSUSE, and Ubuntu that are already using ext4 or are going to make ext4 their default file system. As write operations on Solid State Disks (SSD) are expensive the tips below are focused on SSD usage but also apply to HDD usage as well . My Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty /etc/fstab after a fresh installation: [...] UUID=d818ddf9-ff01-e21a-a67d-3ceab43a9e2b / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=0d339122-74e0-e0ea-805a-7879b1fa3172 /home ext4 relatime 0 2 [...] My tuned Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty /etc/fstab : [...] UUID=d818ddf9-ff01-e21a-a67d-3ceab43a9e2b / ext4 noatime,barrier=0,nobh,commit=100,nouser_xattr 0 1 UUID=0d339122-74e0-e0ea-805a-7879b1fa3172 /home ext4 noatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,nobh,commit=100,nouser_xattr 0 2...
