How to find out your Ubuntu version

In order to use one of the following ways to identify Ubuntu version you have to open Terminal (go to Ubuntu main menu –> Accessories –> Terminal):


cat /etc/issue.net



This will show Ubuntu version number but without codename:


Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

Or

lsb_release -a

Switching PS3 from HDTV back to a Regular TV

Alright, step by step.

1) Hook up your PS3 to whatever TV you want with whatever cables you want


2) Make sure the PS3 is in the Standby mode (not on, but not completely switched off on the back)... The light on front should be red.


3) Hold the Power button on the PS3 down for 5-6 seconds until you hear 2 total beeps (not the PS button on the Wireless controller, but the power button on the console)


4) PS3 will reset video output and re-configure to new settings.


DONE!
