General :: How To Use Command Prompt To Open Them
Sep 6, 2010After contracting malware on Vista i decided to switch over to Linux and chose to start of with Ubuntu because of the graphical interface. that being said, you have no doubt inferred that i have no coding experience. basically i was hoping to find some nice tutorials and sites for Ubuntu. Also, i did downloaded the suggested programs and patches but im still experiencing problems with Adobe,flash, and and opening .exe files. for the latter, when i click on .exe files it is equivalent of using explorer on windows so i was wondering how to use the command prompt to open them. supposedly linux is susceptible to malware so if you could please suggest a anti -malware program.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Stuck At Grub Command Prompt
Jun 7, 2011I was deleting some space off my C Drive and I believe I may of accidentally deleted Fedora, or some of it! I have a dual boot with Fedora and Windows XP so when I started my desktop up it would load into fedora by default or I could press a key to load XP! (It rhymes!) Now, however, it instantly loads up into "Grub"
And that's it! Run, Or Exit, or anything really, doesn't work! Except Reboot! So I'm a little stuck. It's an old PC and the Windows XP disc is long gone, if I ever had one! I had this thought that perhaps if I reinstall Fedora from a CD it many bring back the old command prompt and let me get back into XP again? Or, is that crazy talk??

View 9 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 Boots To Command Prompt Not KDE
Aug 16, 2010Computer: Toshiba Satellite A505D laptop
OS: Suse 11.2, installed from Linux Pro Magazine disc -- was running fine after formatted install (dumped Vista), been running it for a month.
Situation: Saturday, I went to an installfest for help getting my Pantech UM-175 USB aircard to work with my new laptop. One of the guys there got it running, and then we downloaded all of the updates. Following download, I shut down the laptop and hit the road. I got home last night, booted the computer a little while ago, and it came up to a command prompt rather than KDE. I was able to log in on the command prompt.
Cold and warm reboots gave the same results, as did Failsafe boot. I am assuming that something in the updates cut off KDE from starting. We did several cold boots at the installfest and it was working fine after the modem install, but BEFORE downloading the updates.
1) How do I manually launch KDE?
2) How do I get KDE to autoload again?
3) Is there anyone in the Reno, Nevada area who is a Suse guru, or are there install fests near Reno?

Ubuntu Servers :: Not Giving Command Prompt
Feb 28, 2011I have a pretty fresh install on Ubuntu 10.10 Server, with the LAMP bundle installed. Anyway, I just restarted the computer after changing the /etc/network/interfaces script to connect via dhcp. Now when I boot into the server, there is no command prompt and seems to hang there forever, with one blinking cursor in the top left hand corner of the screen. It will not respond to any input besides ctrl-alt-delete. I was able to press control-alt-delete and the computer automatically restarted itself, but it returns to the same state after each reboot. I booted from the grub menu into recovery mode and made sure the /etc/network/interfaces script was correct, and it is. Also I don't think an error in this file should cause the computer to not boot into the command prompt.
