If you have customized the package/software at all, either by editing the config files directly, or via a GUI, you may want to keep your customizations. Usually in Unix/Linux systems, configurations are saved in text files, even if the configuration/customization is done via the GUI.

My question arises from the necessity of understanding why I have now (after multiple trials) Terminal and tmux which support 256 colours even with tput colors that tells me they are only 8.

Let's start from the beginning.
I'm using a Ubuntu box, Guake, tmux, Vim and...
@FaheemMitha yeah. But well researched and clear. I feel the OP deserves an answer but I can't give him one. I know @Gilles could since he answered the similar one and am hoping one of you guys (@slm?) might as well.
btw, i do have a trivia question. if i run an app (say gui) from a term, the app spits out stuff to standard error/output. but if i start it from a desktop menu or something, where is standard error/output directed to? /dev/null? and where is that determined? i notice some of it does end up in log files sometimes.
Use fdisk for drives that are < 2TB and either parted or gdisk for disk > 2TB. The actual difference has to do with the partitioning formats that these tools are manipulating.
For disks < 2TB you're often using MBR (Master Boot Record). For disks > 2TB you're using GPT (GUID Partitioning Table)...
I have sample output there, LMK if you want more
@terdon Everyone should have this badge, it's like taking the guided tour through the help, I always get that one first when I sign up on a SE site
@FaheemMitha, thank you for the advice. When opened through the terminal, I get: me 6092 16.6 0.9 497100 55952 pts/3 Sl+ 17:05 0:00 texmaker foo.tex. When opened through Nemo, I get: me 6099 13.2 0.9 644560 55972 ? Sl 17:05 0:00 texmaker /home/me/dir/foo.tex. The state changes from Sl+ to Sl, along with some other stuff, though I'm not sure what to do with this information. Any ideas? — davly4 hours ago
Should be easy to debug, if the poster responds to queries. Often they don't.
Possibly direct recourse to trace or similar would be more effective in this case.
g@strugee @terdon @goldilocks - one guy replied to my note about wikipedia grub update
> While grub2 does not use terms stage1, stage1.5, stage2, description is correct - functionally boot.img corresponds to stage1, core.img to stage1.5 and all other module files comprise what would be stage2 in grub legacy. Such comparison may actually help someone with grub legacy background to better understand grub2.
I think it should still be either expanded or changed, thoughts?
I'm finally upgrading my home desktop machine to wheezy. Man, upgrading ~6000 packages takes ages
starting with manually kickstarting the thing with a few dpkg -i because “Could not perform immediate configuration” and none of the standard workarounds worked
