General :: How Do I Get Back To Chose Install All Desktops?
Sep 23, 2010
I think in DOS, too many variables, debian-506-amd64-netinst.iso boots to $ How to: With out a complete rescue as I now seem to have linux in NTFS partition; how do I get back to chose install all desktops? Time to put wife to bed I have been at this since 6:30am. I took half my drive, and formatted fs2. Went back to install to chose desktops seems I will blow away every thing if not careful. Or is the problem BCD is on linux partition 1?
I've just installed kubuntu 10.04 on a new Toshiba Portege laptop, and managed to delete my panel by accident! I've configured a new panel with everything I want except one thing: the little map of the multiple desktops (Virtual Desktop). I simply can't find a way to get this widget back.
I have 40gb of hd and I want Xp and fedora on it. I installed Xp first and now I want to install Fedora 12, every time I chose the space to iinstalll it, it says that there is no enough space to install it, although the xp just took less than 2gb of the disk. How can I resize it so that there is enough space?
I have used various distro's but so far the interaction was always with standalone workstation, max few machines/servers.I was thinking of a scenario, where say - Linux has to be installed on 20 servers with similar packages and configuration, what would be the best solution to tackle such scenario....
What I Plan to Do?I plan to have multiple sites about 15 of them to be exact, running off a VPS. I also wish to install a RTMP:// (FMS) on it.I want these sites to be about 15,000 guests per/day maximum, I will be streaming to the RTMP server from Flash Media Encoder, and having it stream to some of my websites so users can watch.I don't know what web control panel to use, because cPanel is expensive, and it's the only one I've been exposed to, so if you could recommend a control panel also, that would be awesome.
i have noticed that if vista is not the active partition, hybernate does not work. it just goes black and then back to the user icon screen to log back in. another "slight" problem was that i was not able to apply a service pack. after restoring vistas dominance i was able to install the pack. is there any other work arounds for hybernate? even though you might not be interested in cleaning up after microsoft.
I've already used ubuntu last time, and I want to open my mind, so I've trying to install OpenSUSE, it's really nice.Now I want to add an application to quicklaunch on taskbar such as a .sh or .jar file, however I haven't known how to set the icon for this launcher. I could do this in ubuntu by right click on launcher and set properties.
I took the simple approach and installed the gnome desktop, but I have read about KDE and Xfce and am curious. There may be a lot more that I just haven't heard about yet too. So the question is: Without doing a reinstall and messing up the downloads and settings I have now, how do I try a new desktop like Xfce or Kde? Also, what are the basic differences between the desktops?
So, I am having difficulty understanding what I need to do or if this can be done at all..
I would like to boot into the command line for my Linux system but, still have access to the different environments as well (KDE, GNOME, Enlightenment, etc) but I don't know how to do that using startx. that seems to only start KDE.
Can you use startx in some way to optionally start another environment? If not, can it be set up to start that graphical umm.. like start chooser screen? I don't know all the terms but its the screen that comes up that you enter your username/password and you can select which environment you like.
Using Fedora 14, compiz.How do I set each of the Desktop screens, available from the viewport switcher.... with a different wallpaper? Searching keeps turning up multiple monitors and such -- but not multiple viewports/desktops. I know i did it before.
When I try to set my number of desktops to "4" on the KDE control module, it reverts back to having only two. I downloaded and installed the current ATI driver (ati-driver-installer-10-11-x86.x86_64.run) and everything works as it should with compiz, except for desktop cube, because I only have two desktops. I never had a problem while running Ubuntu, just with backtrack 4 r2. By the way, I have it installed and not running on a virtual box.
I just installed Fedora 10 on my machine that have windows xp already installed on it. I chose "Remove all partitions on selected drive." by mistake. Is there a way to get back windows xp?
I can't install with the ext3 or XFS file systems. It will only let me install with ext4. I have used both a live CD and USB.Someone help me find out what I am doing wrong, I would like to have my ext3!
-Fedora 13 -latest kernel -used Live CD and Live USB (UNetBootin)
In Ubuntu 10.04 running Gnome I can right click on any window and it gives me an option to show that window on all desktops, so even if I switch to a different virtual desktop, that window will always show.Is there a command in terminal that can do this?
I have a laptop running two versions of openSUSE, 11.2 & 11.3M5. I'm using a shared /home partition for both.I would like to have different desktop settings for each version but haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Primarily different wallpaper or background color.I know I could use different users on each version, but then I wouldn't have access to all the sub-folders from the other user.
I have Fedora 11 on my machine. It comes with gcc 4.5. However, I am trying to compile code that require gcc 4.1. How do I install gcc 4.1 on my machine and still have 4.5 there as well? and how do I uninstall 4.5 gcc if I need. I was trying to use yum, but it did not work. Not sure what package I need.
I've been used to using RDP on Windows to remote to machines, and I've got an asus eee 701 which I want to use to do some *nix programming on. While the eee is a lovely little machine the screen and keyboard are a little small to use for lots of programming. I've tried using Xming (the free version) to remote login into the eee from my desktop using XDMCP (or even using a ssh session as a straight X11 server and no desktop on the eee) the whole thing seems seriously slow over wifi the initial desktop takes at least 5 seconds to paint (might even be 10 seconds I haven't actually timed it). So my real question is what do other folks use for remote control with a GUI for their *nix boxes? I am finding it hard to believe the performance is so bad over a wifi network (It makes the Mac IIs I used to use a college in 1988 seem fast) or is this just a problem with Xming and using say the Cygwin X11 server would be better.
I am new to Linux (I get to learn it for work ) I was wondering how to launch multiple applications on different work spaces via a script. I have researched it and come up with most people using "Devil's Pie" I don't have this as an option. (work reasons) I was wondering what commands I could use in the script file to launch an app. on Said monitor on Said workstation.
i've just migrated my desktop machine to Ubuntu 10.04. My problem is that i've purged a package and can't install this package back. Because I can't see it in the aptitude or apt-get's package list. I think I have play with some configurations. How can i fix this issue?
Edit: The problematic packages are sun-java6* . I installed sun-java6-jdk from oracle's web page and installed other ones using APT.
I am planning to dual boot Bt4 + SL 6 or Debian 6 ( whatever comes first ) So i am wondering what will be the default disk footprint of Bt4... Never used it installed in HDD only in usb install or live mode...
I first tried latest version 10.10 desktop. very slow booting in a Centrino CPU laptop not booting at all in a N455 CPU netbook. Tried version 10.04 which seems to work better fast booting in Centrino CPU laptop. fast booting in N455 CPU netbook. From Centrino Laptop with Windows XP on HD, once loaded Ubuntu as persistent live program from a USB drive, tried to install the program on SD memory card in PC slot. Upon request, installation made onto that memory only, not on inside HD, hence formatting only that memory. Upon completion, after removing the external memories and booting again the PC it does not boot of its own any more. XP OS damaged. I have recovered the system with a Toshiba backup CD but the HD has been formatted and all data lost. How can this happen ? I'll never try anymore to permanently install Ubuntu. I'll use it as persistent live on an external memory. I only have an old PC laptop with 128 MB RAM for further installation testing but no Ubuntu release can boot there. By the way, Lubuntu 10.10 look more fast and safe although appears to have more limitations then Ubuntu 10.10.
I have installed Debian a few times now (and other distro's), so I'm fairly used to installing linux. I'm not used to installing it on Apple hardware (back in 2009 on my laptop I had some issues that were solved rather quickly, but that's about it). Now I'm installing Debian Squeeze on a new (well, bought today, but it is the previous model: iMac 11,2) desktop iMac.
Installing goes well (resizing partition, rEFIt, booting Debian 6.0.1a netinstall CD, installing packages etc.) I followed a tutorial [URL] to install grub explicitly with force after installing and running gptsync. Everything went according to the tutorial and I rebooted to be welcomed by rEFIt and then grub: perfect!
BUT when I chose Debian in the grub-selection list, I only see a few lines of starting the kernel, and then my screen goes all black. A few seconds later I hear a sound, and iirc it's the sound of gdm prompting to select a user. I cannot switch to a TTY and I have to use the power-button to shut the system down.
Recently did a clean install of fc13 and need to get flash player back - following the instructions on adobe's website but still doesn't appear to be working. If I try to download & install again I get a message saying it's already installed.
Since Ubuntu and other Linux Distros are free to download and distribute. Would it be illegal for me to have a Small Business of my own that would charge individuals/small-businesses to Install and Setup Linux desktops. I wasn't sure how that GPL license worked. I figured I would be charging individuals for setting up Linux Desktops on their machines or small business/offices and training/teaching them on the various applications they could install on their own.
Also, would it be illegal to create websites using Apache, Tomcat and other Open Source tools and then sell those sites. I figured many people are turned off by learning or installing something other than Windows desktops on their pcs, just because it is different. If this cannot be done under the GPL license, then could someone tell me how I could go about starting my own small business to legally Setup/Install Linux distributions.
I,m using Ubuntu 10.10 with Gimp. Ive got a lot of photos etc and need to back these up. Can I anyone suggest a good backup solution which does not require e to keep copying the same files? IE: Once the files are backed up I only want to back the files used since last back up?
