Once you install Ubuntu. If you want to develop code in C or C++ you need to update the package.
Default install will not come with development tools. Synaptic pckg manager is a very usefull
tool in ubuntu. This can be used to install many development tool. Just look for Synaptic pckg
manager and put check for gcc 3.4 or later, glibc or any other package you need, then update.
Your ubuntu is now ready to use for C,C++.... /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)"

When I become root with "su -" and try to install some software, such as firefox, it then
says:"(firefox-installer-bin:3645): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" What's the meaning
of this information? And how can I deal with it? Thanks!...

I have a video demonstrating it here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=HNEWZdCYcuQ The only problem is,
that the method I used to get it to work only seems to work on Ubuntu Mobile (method can be found
here http://diyhometech.blogspot.com) It does not seem to work on Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 I am
suspecting that Ubuntu Mobile Edition has some preliminary support for touch screens built in to it.
Anyone know what I might do to get it working in the Desktop version on the same Fujitsu U810?

I formerly decided to try ubuntu which is part of the linux tree as I understand, I liked the look
and feel ect, it was good and simple without the buggs of windows but I discovered that none of my
windows programs and drivers worked with ubuntu linux so is it possible to make the majority of
windows stuff work or do we have to use other programs to make it go?...

On my new computer, I decided to install Linux as I need it for development purposes. Wanting to
take a shortcut, I tried using Wubi, the Windows-based Ubuntu Installer. Everything went fine as it
installed. I restarted the system to find revalidation errors when booting. It kept on repeating
the same thing over and over so I thought that the Wubi installation was corrupted or otherwise
damaged. I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 and burnt it onto a CD-R and tried that instead. I couldn't
even boot into the Live CD session because the same error came up. It looked like this: ...

Ok so for a long time I had my dual boot working great, windows and ubuntu. But 2 days ago my
windows required a wipe and clean install because of some issues, like it usually happens after 8
months. So I reinstalled windows, well, first deleted the windows partition using the windows XP
install CD. Then assigned a partition for windows (same size) and left the ubuntu and swap partition
intact. But of course, windows deletes GRUB and replace it with their boot info, so now I can't
boot ubuntu (I can't choose). How can I reinstall GRUB without having to reinstal...

Virtualization is the technique of running a "guest" operating system inside an already-running OS;
for example, Windows inside Linux, or vice-versa. This article compares four virtualization products
available for Ubuntu Linux: the free, open source Qemu; the closed-but-free versions of VirtualBox
and VMware-Server, and the commercial Parallels.

Hi, I am testing Ubuntu for a few weeks. I have tested 7.04 but not 7.10. At this second, I am using
Mac OS X 1.0.5 Leopard on the schools network. I installed UBUNTU on my laptop using the LiveCD.
Some hardware had minor problems, but didn't disturb the installation. If you want my specs,
check out Review About Vista. I installed Ubuntu and used 220MB of RAM out of 1GB. I think some of
it is graphics memory. Soon, I will be installing the LAMP installation (Linux, Apache, MySQL and
PHP) for my WiFi network. I will get with you soon at 7:00PM (GMT UK) xxxx-jozh-xxxx...

Well ubuntu 7.10 is coming out soon (the final one, a beta is currently out and available for
download right now if you would like, and you can check it out at http://www.ubuntu.com ) But I
was wondering what everybody has heard about it, or if anybody has tried it? I have liked the
previous releases, but should I bother with upgrading to this one, or should I just stick with the
older release until the support is gone? It looks like they have done a lot of improvements in the
way of eye candy for this release with 3D effects and such enabled by default. And the rest...

Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that lets you install and uninstall Ubuntu from a Windows
desktop. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is
installed within a file in the Windows file system (a loopmounted partition), this file is seen by
Ubuntu as a real hard disk. That way the hard drive does not have to be repartitioned before the
Ubuntu installation. The resulting Ubuntu installation is a "real" Linux system, not just a virtual
machine. Wubi makes it easy for Linux newbies to play around with Ubuntu. http://wubi-i...

I create east tutorial of liferea long ago, but she has still not changed much, originally I wrote
it in Spanish but I translate it to the English for this wonderful community, but they excuse that
she does not express to me well is that I have certain errors with my English. Liferea is an
aggregator for online news feeds. There are many other news readers available, but these others are
not available for Linux or require many extra libraries to be installed. Liferea tries to fill this
gap by creating a fast, easy to use, easy to install news aggregator for GTK/GNOME. ...

It is very common that the only thing that doesn't work on a fresh Ubuntu install is the
wireless. Here are easy, fool-proof instructions for how to get wireless working in Ubuntu 7.04 if
it's not working because of the common bcm43xx problem. Requirements: 1) Ubuntu 7.04 installed
2) Internet access - on the same computer (maybe using a wired connection) or on another.

Hey, i got a Ubuntu LiveCD and it works perfectly. Seems like a good change from Windows from time
to time. The only problem i am having is that i cant find some files that are on my C:/ drive (the
Windows area) - although i can see them through windows no problem. Example is that when i go to the
documents and settings folder on the C drive, no folders are there. When i go back to windows, its
there! Can someone please tell me how can i see my files via ubuntu. I am quite a newbie to Ubuntu
so please excuse me if this is a n00b question /tongue.gif" style="vertical-...

So I randomly got the urge yesterday to wipe my linux partition clean and install a new distro, or
at least a new release, and get back into linux a bit. I always have a linux partition on my system
but I usually go through phases where I use it more or less. Regardless I have used multiple distros
(a bit of gentoo and slack, redhat, suse, madrake, mandiva, fedora, mepis, ubuntu, etc) and had used
ubuntu 6.06 for awhile. I had actually installed 6.10 around the end of last year but over time I
broke some things playing with compiz and eventually just sort of stopped usin...

I just finished downloading a 3.6GB Slackware 12 DVD. And now I'm trying to install it using

booting from DVD image, the installation goes very slow. Anybody experience the same thing ? I
never find any problem when installing Slackware 11. Is it because the new features of Slackware 12

Recently, Ubuntu has stopped working by not allowing me to access the desktop. It is quite strange.
Once Ubuntu has booted up to the username screen, I type in my username and password to log on. It
brings me to a blank screen with nothing on it. This happens to all of the user accounts. When I
press the Power button on my computer, I see the loading process where it says: Executing login
scripts... and then some network stuff when it freezes. I have no clue what to do here because
I've only worked with the GNOME desktop in Ubuntu and only 2 times when modifying...

On the first day of this month Cononical released the latest iteration of their linux distribution,
Ubuntu. Now to revision number 6.06 they have achieved many of the necessities to having a desktop
linux distribution that is useable by the masses. Originally intended to be released in April (I
believe) it was delayed to polish up a few things and I think it was well spent. I have seen
numerous threads on this forum about choosing a linux distro to try as the first distribution, and
hopefully this review will entice many to choose ubuntu for this purpose. For more 'h...
