6) As windows like as possible
7) Easy to copy files from HD to usb stick and easy to set permissions .
General :: KDE Distro Based On Debian That Is As Good As OpenSUSE ?
May 10, 2010All my friends say, OpenSuse is the best distro. I have tried it, but I just can't make it work for me. I have a lot of problems touchpad not working properly, wireless, it crashes. It looks good, but I need a distro which will work on my dell Vostro 1700. I have found Ubuntu (gnome) best for my laptop, but I would like to try (KDE) something more polished like OpenSuse. A distro which works like a charm.

OpenSUSE Install :: Good / Easy Way To Clone Opensuse 11.2 That Will Work?
Feb 17, 2010I installed opensuse 11.2 64-bit edition. I installed all of the software I wanted.I now want to clone the installation to 6 other workstations that are 100% identical to the first.I used clonezilla to create the image, but all of the new workstations will not boot. This is due to the fact of the fstab being 100% cloned and other boot volume problems.Does anyone know of a good, easy way to clone opensuse 11.2 that will work?

Jan 14, 2009I think I need to upgrade my libfaac libraries due to some problems I am having with ffmpeg (the libraries are in the package 'libfaac0'). However, it won't install it because my version of libc6 is really out of date, supposedly (but it is actually the most up-to-date version).Do I need to manually upgrade libc6 or is something else messed up? I don't want to do anything that would put me at risk of screwing up a lot of dependencies.

Apr 14, 2011I recently came upon an ubuntu variant called blackbuntu. Its in early release stages at this point, but its being marketed as a pen test distro.

Ubuntu :: Special Distro Or Version For USB Installs?
Aug 20, 2010Uh why does Ubuntu 10.04.1 x86 run like dog **** on USB flash? Heres what happens, system runs for 10 seconds, freezes for 5, on and on and on, its horrible and basically a useless install, an endless loop of frustration and system halts.. Is there a special distro or version for USB installs?
Coz installing off the 10.04 cd directly to a 4gb U3 USB stick runs like a DOG POO! Yes its USB 2.0, and it should not be doing this, I almost went apeshit insane that after a 2 hour install process, thats the results I got. Celeron D 2.8ghz/512mb ram, no hard disk, U3 4gb USB 2.0. Im running puppy linux now and I have no hard disks, and since Ubuntu is clearly superior, would be nice to know what Im missing here or of this is a bug specific to my platform.
Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Even Install 10.10 (or Any Other Version Or Distro)
Dec 7, 2010I'm using 3 monitors over a pci-e 9800GT and an agp 7600GS and have no problems under Windows 7, except i can't have Ubuntu (which i really miss). I tried installing Ubuntu and pretty much every other distribution multiple times.. with no luck so far. Wubi, CD, USB.. none of them worked for me. Right before the first step in the installation, all the screens go haywire, displaying all kinds of shapes and colors and everything seems frozen.
None of this ever happened back when i only had 2 screens and i really need the 3rd one (actually thinking of a 4th since i got a slot left.. maybe for movies or stuff while i'm working). I found topics of people with similar problems, only they were reffering to whatever happens while inside ubuntu or whatever.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Which Distro And Version For Older Computer?
Jan 20, 2010this is my first time actually asking for help here, so forgive me if I make any mistakes. The other day I was trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my mom's old system (not too old, has vista on it) and even from the live cd it wouldn't boot. Then I tried 8.04 because I know that works on my XP system. However it would freeze during boot but at least showed that it was booting (the bar was starting to fill).
The system is an eMachine T5226:
CPU : Intel Pentium D Processor 925 (Dual-Core)
64-bit processor with Intel EM64T Technology
(Each core operates at 3.0GHz | 2 x 2MB L2 Cache | 800MHz FSB)
Operating System : Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
Chipset : Intel 945G
[Code]...
Since we bought it it's been upgraded to 2 GB of ram and has a nVidia 8400gs video card and a belkin wireless adapter now. I can't understand why the live cds won't fully boot since my single core 2.2Ghz boots just fine with 8.04.
I was thinking of trying 6.06 to see of that might work. However I was unsure if the system is capable of running Ubuntu and might need Kubuntu or another distro.

Ubuntu :: Install A New Version Or Distro In The Partitions Where A Current One Resides?
Jun 15, 2011Is there a simple way to delete an existing Linux Distro install so you can install a new version or distro in the partitions where a current one resides? We have several laptops, all of which are at least dual boot with Windows and with a Linux Distro. A few have Windows and two Linux Distros.
What we want and need to do, without disturbing the Windows install is simply remove a current Linux install and replace it with another install, a simple way. We cannot find a simple Partition command of eliminate install or install over existing install. Since the movement in Linux community for four years now is "easy", "simple", and "user friendly" you would think Ubuntu project would by now have a simple, low risk way of doing this. The delete and expand specific partitions method is very risky (to the O/S installs one wished to keep intact) and requires more partition study than all but a few people have interest or time to invest in.
Anyone know of a simple way to replace an install. What puzzles us is why Ubuntu has not come up with a simple command that allows users to replace one Ubuntu version with another, or at least uninstall back to a previous install when a user finds the new version tanks his system and requires hours of study to figure out how to get his basic hardware up and running.
I realize that Linux community members tend to accept criticism about as gracefully as a Republican or a Democrat but progress cannot happen without constructive or well meaning criticism. For those so tempted, please spare me the "stupid", "its easy idiot", "Works fine on my PC" or "this is the best of all possible worlds" replies.

Apr 29, 2010installed the 9.10 Version of ubuntu. Now the situation is: Four Computers are running under Windos XP-professional SP3 My computer, the fifth has ubuntu as os After the upgrade to ubunto 9.10 (with the newest updates installed today) I`m unable to access the windows network. Shows me only windows network but when I click on it no list of workgroup is shown and therfore the network cannot be connected
Only with one "trick" get access: connect to server, then putting the ip's of th windows computers I've got connection to all allowed dir of all the four windows computers (location: smb://ip-adress) To install a network printer is impossible neither with cups nor with system-> adaministration->print At my computer is one printer which works fine. the other printer a Xerox Phaser 6110 is connectet to one XP computer and is configured as network printer under Windows. The computer (IP-Adress is found but that is all) Printer is not connected.
Trying now for three days I'm really upset because there is one golden rule: Never touch running Systems! But you folks from ubuntu must bring ever second day some updates. Nothing against this, but configure your updates in that manner that the updates don't change all my settings. When I boot my computer with windows-XP all network computers are there and usable. My Samba config is ok too because otherwise I would not be able to connect to windows computer through the above mentioned trick.

General :: Best LXDE Based Distro/distro That Supports LXDE?
Dec 15, 2010Lubuntu is nice - but it seems the LXDE version is not as up to date as Fedora LXDE Spin or even Debian squeeze with LXDE installed. I do like Chromium on Lubuntu though... its faster and a nice touch. I am looking for a lightweight 64-bit distribution for my main laptop (it is by no means "old" or "low spec" but I like that Lubuntu starts up in like 2 secs).
LXDE version seems not to be recent (esp in 10.04 version which seems to work more stably for me - with Nvidia drivers etc)64 bit install is currently a pain - requires first install of minimal CD or alternate CD both of which required wired Ethernet, then install of lubuntu from PPA. Native 64-bit support would be nice. Linux Mint LXDE, for example, is also only 32-bit.
General :: Easy-install Will Not Work When Clicked - Dreamlinux 3.5
Apr 30, 2011When I click on the Easy-install icon, I see the cursor change to a watch, and then it stops, and Easy-install does not start. I have run:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
-and-
apt-get install libgtk2-ruby libgtk2-ruby1.8
The latter being recommended when I searched google (Apparently apt-get sometimes removes ruby which easyinstall uses) It turns out I did need ruby, But my easy-install remains closed...
