To change the paper format from or to letter resp. a4 for the Ubuntu installation do:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
On startup the system hung because the root UUID was not found. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9020811#post9020811
So when I ran sudo blkid — executed from a live cd — it didn’t show the root partition (all other partitions UUIDs were listed).
But tune2fs showed me its UUID
sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda2
So I tried to set a new UUID:
uuidgen
# with uuidgen's result:
sudo tune2fs /dev/sda2 -U a72d5565-b5fd-4e15-bfa8-8067e6bdfbc8
This didn’t help.
… was to set linux [...] root=/dev/sdaX [...] in the grub2 settings.

To recompile the Ubuntu kernel start with:
git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git
Depending on the libraries that you will need, do configure the kernel using one of the following:
using ncurses (sudo aptitude install libncurses5-dev)
make menuconfig
using GTK (sudo aptitude install libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libglade2-dev)
make gconfig
using **Qt8* (sudo aptitude install libqt3-mt-dev)
make xconfig

To add the gpg key and the ppa repository at once (works with Ubuntu>=9.10), do:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily
This is for the daily builds. If you want the beta versions instead, use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/beta
Then install:
sudo aptitude install chromium-browser-l10n
An easier solution just by setting a line in the configuration of the ssd daemon can be found in the blog post Chroot SFTP users.

Find out the files that belong to an installed package.
dpkg -S packagename
sudo apt-file update
apt-file search filename
Works like dpkg -S but also shows not installed packages that contain the file.
apt-file list packagename
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Grub_2#GRUB-2-wiederherstellen
After an installation of Windows 7, Grub2 would not start any more as Windows overwrote the boot loader section. So i did the following:
Find out correct disc and mount the root partition:
sudo fdisk -l
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
If you have a separate boot partition you must also mount it:
sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/boot
Mount chroot environment
sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash
