General :: Possible To Run Microsoft Excel Under Ubuntu?
Jun 16, 2011
I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on my machine. I use Ubuntu much more often than Windows 7. On Ubuntu I can use LibreOffice Calc, but I'm more used to Microsoft Excel and would like to be able to run it under Ubuntu.
I would like to find a tools to change csv file to excel , I tried google , there are some tools can do it , but the file have some specical character and Chinese character , can advise what tools is good for it ?
another that , I have one specical requirement , I would like the tools can change the date format of a specific column ( eg. from mm-dd-yy to dd/mm/yy ) , is there any tools can do that ?
I am not able to open excel file which is generated from java web application in Linux. The file is opening in Windows but not in Linux. I am not using Open Office. I have two different applications deployed in two different was7 servers in same Linux machine. Both the applications generate excel output stream which I open in IE. When I am trying the same application in Windows environment both are working fine, but in Linux I can open and download xls files in one application but not in other. I am using application/vnd-ms... as mime type and POI jars to generated excel, no errors in my debug log or system errors.
Create Ubuntu inside Virtualbox (done) Join it to the domain using net ads join -S example.com -u admin (done) Update the DNS using net ads dns register (done) Be able to visit the netbios name as defined in smb.conf (lets call it Bob). [Not done]
The problem I am having is that it looks like, even though the machine is now on the AD, and I can browse users in the AD, etc... My network configuration (IP/route tables, etc) are not correct.
For example, my AD server is in the 172 IP range, while BOB is sitting at 10.0.2.15.
The DNS server stores Bob's value as 10.0.2.15, so when I ping it from my workstation at 172, I end up getting no response (obviously it's on a different net).
Bob's route table is configured to deal with 10... range of IP, rather than 172.
I have attempted doing commands such as ifconfig eht0 172.16.1.118 netmask 255.255.255.0 and even editing the route tables, but that then makes outbound network traffic imposable.
ran an update on by Ubuntu 10.10 laptop. Imagine my surprise with a Microsoft EULA popped up for something called Microsoft TTFCoreFonts.I declined. I already have sufficient fonts.
I have this game for the pc called international football 2000. Its a bit old I know, but I want to see if it will work on my computer. I am still running on the 8.04 ubuntu and will be upgrading soon hopefully. Will a game this old and also made by microsoft work for the ubuntu system?
It would seem that my cds/dvds that I've created under Microsoft vista home premium can't be read/written on (formatted as data disks. Is there a program to be downloaded or an app, that would allow me to read, download or add data to these dcs/dvds. Using ubuntu-10.10 and debian.
I have access to a lot of throw away pc's as I pay a trash collector to drop them off once a month. Any xp on a pc that originally had win98, I intend to install puppy linux on and then offer them back to the public for a modest price of about 20 dollars each. I have much to learn, and the first task is to try to get seamonkey to read windows live mail. Thus far today there is a parsing error and I am about to get into that. Would it be better to try to install the very latest wary puppy linux, or to try to upgrade the seamonkey onto the 3.o puppy. Also I am using a version of puppy that was labled puppy-celeron, believing that the celeron processor in this old gateway essential 500 might match up with the driver selections on that particular disk.
I'm looking for the outlook2vcal tool but all the links I've found send me to out of date sites or I get an Error 404 message. Does anybody know where I can download this tool or if not any tool that will convert my Outlook calendar into a format that I can import into KOrganizer.
I have a compaq armada 7400 with 32k memory cache and 256 secondary memory cache and a 6 gig hard drive. Would it be possible to use linux on this pc if I were to get rid of microsoft. Microsoft has taken all my hard drive.
I have a .bkf backup file, created by the Backup utility that Microsoft provides with Windows XP. Is there a way to read the contents of the file using a non-Microsoft OS, preferably Mac OS X or Linux?
I tried everything under the internet-sun that purports to allow my 128 mb usb pen to work like a writable floppy. The last I tried is: mount -o umask=0 /dev/sdc1 /home/myhome/usbpen. It works, but only a switch to root can write and root usurp my directory. just format back to dos/fat16, will work. But a repartition of my pen don't get changed after a reboot. How am I supposed to go back to 'good-old-microsoft' format.
I'm still a bit green at Linux - not enough that the terminal scares me, but I still need to figure out with my 'networking' which programs do what. I'm still newly switched from Windows (though I've had a love affair with Linux live OSes for everytime I'm in between Windows OSes) and finally made the switch to Ubuntu. I have Wine installed for windows programs, and recently got a bit frustrated with OO Base, and went to install Microsoft Access (which I have training with) and while trying to figure out my install, Wine tells me it doesn't have any programs that read the 'autorun.inf' file. A little google fu tells me I kinda need an .inf reader for autorunning cds, dvds and the like. Anyone know where I can get the file? I tried to go through the Windows site and get the drivers downloaded for it, but I've hit a dead end.
Is there a way to run queries against a Microsoft sql server from linux? Here is what I would like to do. When I create apps that us db back end I would like to quickly check results of my queries. so if I could do something like "select * form Orders" from the terminal or another app that would be great.
I've created a presentation as a series of .png images, one per slide. What is a good way to convert these into a .ppt (PowerPoint) that I can give to some audio-visual person? I'm entirely on Linux, with no Windows or Mac software available.(Or maybe PowerPoint isn't the only game in town for presentation file formats?)
I am looking for step-by-step guide to do so. I can go for any easy to work with Linux distribution , may be UBUNTU. But Hyper-V page says it officially supports only SUSE and REDHAT, others can be done on owner's risk.
I dont need future compatibility etc as yet, just need to do some experiments, so any distribution would be fine. FYI - I am trying BOINC installation and testing.
I'm trying to connect to a Win XP computer via Remote Desktop/Terminal Server. (Note: WinXP refers to Remote Desktop, or RDP; Ubuntu uses Terminal Server client for this function.)
The problem is that my XP computer requires the use of Microsoft's RDP version 6 because it uses a Terminal Server Gateway. The TS client in Ubuntu is compatible with version 5, not version 6.
Is there a MS RDP version 6 compatible program/client for Linux?
i found samba as domain join service and print sharing, i am looking more then thisi have been looking any commercial or open source solution available as alternate of active directory. as we are all aware that AD infrastructure is highly complicated.the main issue we need to resolve is
- password policy for all users 90 days expiry - use complex 9 chars policy - assign permission/groups file/folder sharing
I'm currently running Office Home and Student version on Ubuntu 9.04. I installed Wine 1.1.36 along with Winetricks, apparently office appears to be working well. However I do have one issue.
I'm trying to run an add-in on Microsoft office excel for a statistics class that I'm currently enrolled in,
I follow the instructions to select the appropriate add-in which is (Analysis Tool Pack) but keep getting an error message, please see below.
Microsoft office excel can't run this add-in. Microsoft office excel cannot install the necessary files due to windows installer error2. File not found.
Next message:
Microsoft office excel cannot access the file 'analys32.xll'.
Can't use Excel files with Open Office. When trying to edit and fill out a RMA form using Excel file I keep getting a message saying: 'Protected cells can not be modified'.
Here's a screenshot. What do you have to do to get it to work with Ubuntu? Excel works fine with Windows but I can't use Excel on Ubuntu with Open Office. This is the first time ever using Excel with Ubuntu and Open Office.
