At the ongoing CES 2012, Canonical made a surprise appearance (well it was announced earlier of course, but the announcement was a surprise!) about a new "Ubuntu Concept Design". Until the keynote address took place everyone was under the assumption that it wouldbe some sort of new UI that would put Ubuntu ahead of the competition. But sadly, it turned out to be a design for a new Smart TV! The announcement was about an Ubuntu-powered Smart TV, which will feature the much-dread
I was trying to connect my 3G data card from vodafone to linux system and found that it doesn't detect it as data card. It considers the drive as USB storage drive and mounts it and lets me open it. I don't know how to fix this now. I want it to be used as data card and connect to the internet. I did searched for the ways to find connectivity using 3g data cards. I am using vodafone huwei cards. I don't know if it in anyway allows to connect. Officially there is no linux support page
Hi there, (Don't know if this is the right forum for this. And it also applies to all other OS's I guess. Though I'm in Ubuntu LiveCD at the moment!)

I've been searching google like all day only for this and getting pretty desperate on this! [b]Anyone in here that knows how to do this?[/b] My idea is, I hav

Ubuntu 11.10 - Oneiric Ocelot - Has Been Released!
This is the second time that Canonical has scheduled an early release of the October edition of Ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.10 was released on 10th October). Earlier October releases were always in the last week of the month. But after 10.10, the latest version 11.10 has been released early. To be more precise, it was released yesterday, i.e. October 13, 2011. The new version has been named as Oneiric Ocelot and is now available for download from the official [url="http://ubuntu.com"]Ubuntu[/url] website.

Slitaz - Smallest Linux Distro
Damn small linux being popular portable distro i hardly cared about anything small or anywhere near it. But i found slitaz on monday and i must say that i'm impressed. Slitaz is so far the smallest distro for me now. It is just 30MB ISO file. You can burn it on CD or use it on vmware or the virtualbox. That way you can easily test the system. There are many good things about this distro. First thing is that it is simple and frugal install with bare minimum applications inside the distro. You

What Will Be The Linux Distro Of The Future?
I just replied to a topic regarding why Linux mint is steadily increasing in popularity over Ubuntu. It is unanimously agreed that Ubuntu is a great OS for beginner users of Linux. But of late it has been getting more confusing for new users, which is why they are beginning to look for alternatives llike Mint. My question is not regarding Mint or Ubuntu.It is about the future of the Linux Vs Windows battle. It seems that after a few years, the Linux contender keeps changing, while Microsoft sti
Ubuntu Shipit Distributions Closed
I just noticed that shipit is closed for international users. It is right now only available to local communities which are approved by canonical. I don't know if this move is good or bad. But it was a treat for those who don't have fast internet connection. I'm one of those people who can't wait for more than 8-10 hours for simple download of the OS. And now that OS CDS are discontinued i don't have any other ways to get the distribution for my computer. I don't think i&

Hi all Linux Users, Which Desktop Environment U preffer on Linux OS. KDE Or Gnome.
What Made You Switch To Linux?
I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep learning

What Is Your Preferred Filesystem?
I am curious as to what everyone's favorite filesystem types are for linux. I only have a basic knowledge set about the varying filesystem types and the pros/cons so any and all information and opinions would be useful. Usually in the past if given the option upon installing a linux distro I've just used ext2 or 3 as I know they are both known to be stable and relatively fast. So are these actually the best or are there better alternatives out there? (Feel free to reccommend ones even if

Linux Only Recognises Usb Drive As Read-only
Hi. I have a 2gb Cruzer Micro (USB Drive), that I use for transferring files between computers. It works fine whenever I use computers with Windows, but on Linux it has a problem, it keeps saying the drive's read only. I don't know if this is a bug to do with Linux or just My USB Drive locking itself when it doesn't recognise the OS as Windows. When I had SuSE 10.1, in GNOME. It would hardly work at all in Nautilus. It was really slow and kept freezing, and I had to use Konqueror.

I had a good time using Ubuntu on my old PC until version 9.10. When I upgraded to 10.04, I noticed that my old hardware had many issues with it, due to which it became slow and sluggish. I reverted back to 9.10. However, I would like to know if 10.04 is better than 9.10 or not. I know for a fact that the boot time is much faster for 10.04, and that the default theme is changed, and that the window control buttons are placed to the left instead of the right (an option which can be customised, of

Hi Guys, Yeah, Ubuntu setup is easy. I did it in about 2.5 minutes.
A lot of people will readily say that Ubuntu is the best Linux ditro for beginners, and I agree with that statement. I used Linux for the first time in the form of Ubuntu 8.04 and was thrilled with the experience. Later I tried using Fedora and openSUSE but they weren't the same. So I stuck on with Ubuntu and haven't been disappointed till today. I heard that the latest version 9.10 came out recently? I am now using 8.10 and didn't upgrade to 9.04 yet. So I was thinking whether to

I am on a limited bandwidth internet connection, I mainly use linux to save bandwidth. Because on XP, almost every program connects to internet silently and download updates thus eating away my bandwidth space.

Asterisknow Pbx (voip Telephony)
I was wondering if anyone here ever used (or uses) Asterisk? If you don't know what Asterisk is, it is a VoIP server (Voice over IP). Basically, it's like Vonage's servers in your home (beats the $24.99 month phone bill from Vonage, plus your local phone bill, plus internet bill). Anyways, nothing beats a POTS right? Well, features such as Voicemail, call forwarding, voice options (menus), etc can come with a price tag from your phone company. You already have copper phone lines
Choice Of Motherboard For Linux Virtualization
Virtualization is a relatively arcane subject, but it is one which is very rapidly growing, and apparently very "hot" in commercial enterprises. For the hobbyist with multiple computers (I have 8), it offers the possibility of taking snapshots of running, fully configured applications and operating systems, and transferring some or all of them onto a single computer platform. First, it saves energy. Second, once the conversion has been made from real hardware to a virtual "gues

Linux Distribution For Running Windows
For those of you who might have been confused by the topic title, the right link to follow is "[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine"]Virtual machine[/url]". Essentially, it allows you to create a virtual computer inside your operating system that would in no way depend on the OS itself. What can you do with something like that? For example, you can run Linux [b]inside[/b] Windows, or the other way round. I am interested in the latter. Currently, I am running Ubuntu 7.10

Ever since i started using linux, ive been a KDE user. Every now and again, maybe 4 times in total, ive tried Gnome.

Ive even started un-installing most of my KDE components. I think in the end, it wasnt that i prefere

Now in [url="http://www.astahost.com/user-account-control-t19205.html"]my other post[/url], I wanted to find out if I can trigger the UAC prompt for certain tasks. Since doing so is nearly impossible or would be very difficult or illegal according to Microsoft's End User License Agreement, I was hoping that this task could be achieved in Linux. I am running Ubuntu 7.10 with the GNOME Desktop env
I ran across a new gentoo based linux called zonbu, looks neat and it backs up all your files online for easy access from anywhere
After last week's update fiasco, system running Fedora 10 seems to be back on track. By that, I mean everything is working pretty smoothly, although there's a few little issues I've yet to resolve: The main one, and the whole point of this topic, is trying to find out how I can change "Desktop" to "desktop" in the "Places" menu. Being an electronic engineering student, I've done what I consider to be good practice and started naming files and direct
Do I Need To Do Any Extra Setup For Audio / Video Output?
Since we already assumed you have an up and running linux installation, you most likely won't have to do any work in this area. Most modern distributions automatically configure X and audio for you, and there is a host of information on the web for configuring X. As far as audio goes, there are many different audio architectures available. We recommend choosing a distribution that uses ALSA (the advanced linux sound architecture) by default since it is the most powerful sound system and sup
For those who have been wondering about my slight absence from the forum, I've had, to be blunt, a catastrophic meltdown of all things vaguely useful on my PC at the end of the last week. Everything went down the drain, leaving me with no choice other than completely starting from scratch with a new OS installation. Being at university means my Windows XP discs were back home, so installing Windows is, for now, out of the question. Instead I decided to give this here Linux-malarky a go and,
was looking for an iso for my vmware setup and ran across something called gOS Cloud, cant find a download for it but it seems like a good program, system boots into a lite linux with browser and a few applications and a link to boot into windows, not sure about how it switches back, wandering if its like windows 95, that had the optoin to boot into dos... if any one has tried it, or knows where to get an ISO let me know

Boot Error On Customized Kernel [solved]
Hey guys, I'm getting into some trouble on my newly compiled kernel. I had no issues compiling a kernel before but I'm getting booting issues. I guess it could be some type of SATA support issue since this is the first time I had a SATA drive. However, I'm very sure that I compiled SATA support right into the kernel instead of it being a module. This is my filesystem config: [quote] # # File systems # CONFIG_EXT2_FS=m CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS
When And What Is Your First Linux Experience?
Hi All, I want to learn when and what is your first experience of linux? Mine is; 1996 first install of linux. 1995 first time I heard of linux. I remember how I was happy and how I was curious about linux. I was bored of Windows. It was not the OS I was dreaming of. It was not completely flexible. I was feeling that windows is not the edge of the computer tech. There are something wrong about windows. And Linux was like a dream for me.. I remember how I tried to get a linux distro. I remember
Strange Error When Trying To Install Fedora Core 9
Hi all, I tried to install Fedora Core 9 in a VmWare virtual machine under WinXP. I downloaded the DVD ISO image and proceeded with the installation. When the process was started since about a minute, the following error did show: "The file evince-2.22.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media" Fine, I told to myself, let's download the ISO image again, this time from a different server, just in case. No joy, same error
This is the situation. I have a HP Laserjet connected to my main pc which runs windows XP. I have this printer shared so I could use it on my laptop (laptop doesn't have ltp port ), but I can't seem to add it because my password contains an '@' .
