General :: Keeping Xandros 4.1 Up To Date.
Jan 11, 2010Xandros isn't keeping its repostorie Apps. updated. I tried Ubuntu 9.04 and it was good with only a minor change, (wireless was slow). Got a workround from Ubuntu forum. Login as root I was able to fix it, I updated to Ubuntu 10. Wireless was slow again. I tried logging on as root. Ubuntu 10. has lockout root and sudo won't let me add (iwconfig wlan rate 54M) to a boot up program to fix it. I went back to 9.04 now it wouldn't let me sign in as root. I next tried Debian Lenny. The screen res. was 1600 x 900? And for Dabian Lenny the screen res. is set automatically and can't be set manually, so I could not finish the install. So I'm back to Xandros 4.1 needing help to keep it up to date.

Feb 18, 2010As an absolute novice I am finding it difficult to understand Linux. There seem to be FAR too many variables to get a grip on how thing work. Anyway, I am trying to find out how to create a "desktop" shortcut icon which will open fbreader for ebooks. I have tried searching for the answer but keep running into "gnome" "kde" "Ubuntu" "debian(which might be relevant)" etc. My AsusEee 701 4G Surf runs Xandros.

Mar 8, 2010I'm using Xandros 4.2 Home Edition Premium in dual boot with WinXP. A faulty installation at Xandros Networks has cause the print service to stop, Adobe Acrobat Reader fails to launch, Open Office is completely gone from the apps menu and there are probably other apps gone haywire.
Xandros tech support rep told me that I should reinstall from scratch. I am wondering since I have Konserve backups of etc, home, and root directories from before these errors occurred, if I can just paste healthy files into the places where they are broken. But I don't know where to begin. I'm not too confident right now about reinstalling xandros from scratch. I WAS confident at Xandros Networks. Now, I have a broken package.
I had to start from scratch a few years ago because of a broken package. I attempted a restore of etc, home and root from Konserve, but the desktop became a mess, so I had to start again completely from scratch. I figure that I don't know exactly what I'm doing, thus I also have Windows which is made for people with slightly lower IQ. I want to be able to use those healthy backups, but I don't know how w/o making a mess.
General :: Ubuntu Netbook Remix Install For EeePC / Xandros?
Jan 5, 2010Using eeePC1000 with Xandros installed and investigating installation of Ubuntu, especially seeing that there was a netbook version. Have had some problems creating a bootable USB, but followed a thread on the netbook forum that I think will be useful. Before going ahead I wanted some advice on a few things:
- does the Ubuntu OS install over Xandros or is there work to be done post install to clear Xandros out?
- if i want to keep using Thunderbird, StarOffice etc. as supplied with Xandros can I install these to Ubuntu?
Sorry if above all seems obvious: sites I've been to, or books are great at telling you about how good the OS is and how to install but nothing on what happens to the old OS.

Hardware :: All-in-One Printer That Works With Xandros Debian?
Nov 22, 2010I have Linux Xandros Debian software on my Asus Eee PC, and for 3 years now I have been trying to buy a Colour Scanner that works. It does not have to be a stand alone Scanner, it can also be an All-in-One. I have been told the HP has the most chance. However I bought a HP Deskjet F2280, that the salesman guaranteed would scan with Linux, but it did not. And never has. Is there anybody who also has Linux Xandros Debian and HAS found a scanner that works?

Nov 4, 2010I just downloaded Ubuntu remix Netbook edition 10.10. during the installation i wasnt paying attention and I downloaded the 32 bit version... The thing is the Unity interface is not showing up, and perhaps its becuase of this 32 bit thing. Anyway I would like to install the 64 bit version, not . Ive read around that the best way is to uninstall everything from windows (its dual boot) and re install. The problem is I dont have a windows xp start up cd, so that wouldnt work, or would be complicated.
However somewhere I read I could install over it, and I would like your thoughts. First off how would that work?? Ive learned my lesson not to play with the OS... to how to delete Ubuntu, without a Windows xp CD. To make it harder I dont know anything of computers so yay!

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Installing Mandriva On Ubuntu?
Aug 28, 2010I have a completely new desktop and I have installed Ubuntu on it. That happened yesterday, today morning there is no internet connection on my desktop. I don't know what happened.
Anyway after all I have decided to put Mandriva over Ubuntu - that was the original plan - but now I am facing problems with installing Mandriva.
1st. The oriiginal cd drive is not recognised by Ubuntu Therefore I am using an old drive which at least is working.
2nd I cannot run Mandriva dvd.
My questions:
How can I delete Ubuntu and replace it with Mandriva? If this is too difficult, I would switch back to Windows 7. At least in Windows I have a bit of experience. The windows 7 dvd it cannot be run also.
General :: Ubuntu Reboots While Installing?
Feb 15, 2011I've been trying to get Ubuntu on my computer for months now and after having googled no relevant cases which may help me I would like some help.
I am trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (which already has windows and I don't want to lose it yet)
I have already burnt 3 CDs yet the problem is the same each time, that's why I believe the problem does not come from the burning. I checked the md5sum and there was no problem.
However when I try to install Ubuntu (or sometimes during a live session) after partitionning my computer and selecting mounting points, having "format" checked on the concerned partitions, the installation goes halfway through the "copying files" process and my computer simply reboots. More precisely, in the middle of installation the screen is replaced with the loading page of Ubuntu (like when you start with the live CD) then my computer reboots, no questions asked (not even to remove the CD, it reboots with the CD in it... while during a manual shutdown it would open the tray and ask you to close it)

Is there something else I need to do before installing?
I have windows installed on my C drive and I'm planning on installing Linux on another blank drive. The Ubuntu version is the newest one (9.10) I think. I've got a Core i7, EVGA mobo, Nvidia 9600GT video card, and 6 gigs of memory. HDDs are all WD I believe, and the one I'm putting Linux on is 320 Gig.
General :: First Command To Run After Installing Ubuntu?
Mar 26, 2011Ubuntu is a great operating system. It fast, secured and easy to use when compared to most of other operating Systems. But Ubuntu is not complete without some additional packages. One command make Ubuntu useful for everyday use. To get started, press Ctrl - Alt - T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When Terminal opens, type the command below and press Enter to install. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras Programs that will get installed after running the above command are: MP3, DVD Playback support Microsoft Fonts Java Runtime Flash Player and many codecs that are required to play MP3 and DVDs. (OR) install Ubuntu restricted extras Ubuntu by default, doesn't allow you to play MP3, DVD, Flash or most media formats for legal reasons. You must always install additional programs that will allow you to play those media To install Ubuntu restricted extras go to Ubuntu Software Center from the application launcher. Then search for "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" and Install . It will install commonly used pplications with restricted copyright (mp3,avi,mpeg,True Type,java,Flash,Codecs).
