Jan 30, 2010When i was in Windows, i had absolutely no problem creating and running basic terminal C++ programs. I came to Ubuntu, and now I've got a big problem: I can't run any program that i make. I have tried making programs in Code::Blocks, CodeLight, MonoDevelop, and NetBeans. All 4 four are free IDE's from the ubuntu installer. I've created 4 programs, 1 on each, and they're all the EXACT same program. When i build it, they build just fine and run. When i release and compile it so it becomes an .exe program, i can't open it. I find the thing, double click, and nothing happens. I rightclick and choose Run, and nothing happens. I made a basic Hello World program, and i couldn't even run that. Is there an extra thing im supposed to install to allow me to run .exe or something?

Mar 12, 2010I have a home movie that is currently in Video_TS format (.bup/.vob files). I burned the movie using K3b and it works awesome in both Ubuntu and on my DVD player with the television. BUT the thing will not play in XP! I understand this is because XP is the work of the devil, but that is not important. The disc shows 4Gb used (in XP) but only gives the title. I even made sure hidden files were visible, just in case somehow the movie was invisible. I have tried burning my DVD directly from the video_ts files in K3b, and first making an .iso file, then going over to XP to burn the DVD using Nero...annnnnd same thing. I can watch them on the TV and 'buntu but not XP.
What have I done wrong? Advice? Need more info? invariably someone wants to ask the irrelevant question "Why do you need to watch it in Windows?"

Ubuntu :: 10.04 LTS Vs 10.10 Almost Made Me Go Back To Windows?
Nov 16, 2010Back in July I bought an Acer Aspire ONE KAV60 with Xubuntu installed on it. I used to run Linux a long time ago but had not messed with it for a couple of years and I was surprised to find out how much more "user friendly" Linux had gotten (With Ubuntu anyways). There are more and more GUI programs/processes now days which makes everything easier to do, however there are a couple of things that I have found in the last few months running Linux only on my little netbook.
When I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid and installed it from the Xubuntu, I was quite satisfied with the general desktop setup and ease of the operating system. I loved it, it was like going from OS/2 to Win95 all over again! (I'm not that old, I just started young). Here recently, I ran into a little problem with 10.04 and had to re-format, but when I went to re-download it the new 10.10 was available instead. I threw it on a flash drive and installed it on my netbook only to have "problem after problem" upon installation and had downloaded and installed 10.04 from the archives in a matter of a few hours after messing with 10.10.
There were plus sides and down sides to both right off the bat. I am a nerd I suppose and I have started to play a game called Runescape. After installing 10.10, I opened up Runescape and was able to use the "Re-sizable" screen option! That's an amazing option with Runescape on a netbook. I then opened up my favorite and most used program suite called aircrack-ng. I had the apparently infamous problem titled "fixed channel mon0: -1" and was completely unable to get it working (even after reading the SOLVED article on here.) I spent probably 2 hours trying to figure out that problem and was unable to do so. I cannot be without the aircrack-ng suite so I decided to revert back as I fore mentioned.
Upon reverting back to Lucid LTS from the archives, I was happy with the smoothness of how it runs on my netbook compared to 10.10, but as soon as I logged onto that damn game Runescape, I was on a mission to figure out how to correct the "fixed channel mon0: -1" issue on 10.10 so I could have the re-sizable screen option again.
I finally figured out that I needed (from a fresh install on 10.10) to do apt-get install patch and apt-get install gcc before I could complete the steps of the SOLVED issue guide. This was never mentioned and it made me realize I still need to know what I'm doing if I'm going to run Linux and then maybe I won't have all these issues.
Out of all this, I have a couple of questions and would like to learn more about Linux so I do not have these problems in the future. Here are a couple of questions I would like to mention first: What is gcc? I had all that trouble just because I didn't know to install gcc to do the tutorial.
I believe the re-sizable screen option is available for me in 10.10 and not 10.04 because of Java. I did not have to install Java in 10.10 at all, I just opened up Runescape "out of the box". In 10.04, I use Sun Java with the apt-get command in Terminal. Does anybody have any information to confirm or deny this?
Once I got aircrack-ng working in 10.10, I was surprised to find out that it is amazingly fast compared to 10.04. I believe this has to do with drivers. I was able to use aircrack-ng (after install) "out of the box" with 10.04 so I did not download the "compat wireless" drivers that had to be used in 10.10 to get it to work.
If I were to revert back to Ubuntu 10.04 (I much prefer Lucid for my netbook, runs much better), would I theoretically be able to download a different Java and use the re-sizable option on Runescape? Would I also be able to use the "compat wireless" drivers in 10.04 to make aircrack-ng send and receive arp's and ack's so much quicker?
Last but not least, I would like some sources if possible to better learn Linux from. I mean Terminal type Linux, I do appreciate (as I said earlier) the new GUIs that are available now and I didn't have before, but I still feel the need to know my way around the system and I just don't have that knowledge.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Changes Made As User Are Not Saved?
Mar 27, 2011I recently installed a base system from a 10.10 alternate cd and then selected a few packages to build myself a light install. I'm using lxdm as my login manager (desktop manager) and openbox as my window manager, with lxpanel and nm-applet autostarting after loading openbox. that's it so far.
My problem is that almost any changes I make as a user are not saved. ie I tried to make a wireless network available to all users with network manager but it immediately reverts. I tried to make changes to permissions through the gui 'users and groups' tool, (with i installed visa gnome-system-tools package in synaptic) but all changes are immediately forgotten. I also cannot mount another partition using pcmanfm. I get the response 'authentication is required.' These sound to me like permissions issues. what groups do I need to be a part of? update: I checked my groups and I wasnt a member of any so I googled around for whats normal and added myself. Im now a member of the groups:
Code:adm disk dialout cdrom sudo audio www-data video plugdev games users fuse lpadmin admin netdev But still nothing. changes are not remembered.
Ubuntu :: Can't Mount UDF Vista Made DVD?
May 20, 2011I had burned a DVD in Windows Vista from a friends home and then tried to brows it on my Ubuntu 10.4 System. But as soon as i pop in the DVD I get an error alert saying:

View 9 Replies View RelatedDebian Installation :: Alterations Have Been Made To System?
Jul 16, 2010Greetings to all from a 60-year-old computer hobbyist and Linux rookie making his first post here. Yesterday I completed a successful installation of Debian 5, lenny, and right now I want to learn what alterations or modifications have been made to my system. I have no complaint about anything at all, I just want to become prepared for any problems I might encounter later on.
1) At one point near the end of my Debian installation, I was asked whether the installer could add something into memory and I (hesitantly) let it do so without knowing what was actually being done. I have a multi-boot system with four versions of Windows installed prior to Debian ... and now my Windows 98 is able to see and access my third drive, a SATA.
Question: How did installing Debian make it possible for my Windows 98 OS to now see and access my SATA hard drive? It is my assumption Debian's installer has somewhere placed one or more drivers my BIOS/DOS now passes along at system startup. How can I make a backup of whatever Debian's installer has done there?
2) After installing Debian and my Windows 98 had begun seeing my SATA drive, I had to eventually re-install Windows 98 because the drive letter for its partition had been changed by the insertion of the SATA drive. At that same time, and while just leaving Windows 98 alone for a while, I had used NeoSmart's EasyBCD to add Debian to Windows 7's BCD ... but then my re-installation of Windows 98 over-wrote that and Windows 7's "startup repair" could never again make its own BCD work. After that, however, and after getting XP's "boot.ini" (including 98 and 2k) working again, a re-installation of Debian resulted in GRUB making a startup menu that now includes *all* systems.
Question: Why or how can/did GRUB find Windows 7 and add it in when Windows 7's "startup repair" could not make a working BCD (or could not make a BCD work) on its own? I have more questions ahead, but like I said: For now I just want to know what I have going on here so I can prepare for any problems I might encounter later. I have a lot of time invested in finally getting this multi-boot system running perfectly with Debian as its default OS and I do not want to have to go back to the beginning and do it all over again because something broke and I had no idea how to fix it!

Mar 12, 2010After logging onto a linux machine via SSH, I would like to be able to retrieve the name of the computer from which the connection was made. Ideally I am looking for some command like hostname or uname but that would retrieve the name of the client instead of the host.
This information must be accessible somewhere, since when I log on I get a message that contains the clinent name from the last login:

The reason for wanting to do this is to be able to take different action in my .login file depending on which computer I am currently connecting from.
Ubuntu Servers :: Df -h Not Updating With Changes Made By Other Machine?
Mar 22, 2010I'm running a virtualised backupserver. This makes backups to an LVM volume on the host. /dev/mapper/system-backupserver is put through as a block device to the KVM-based, libvirt-managed backupserver and there it's mounted (obviously) rw.
I've also mounted the same volume, as ro, on the host, so as to get at my backups more easily. So now the same partition is mounted on two different machines, both thinking they've got sole access.
Now when the backupserver VM alters the contents of this partition, it sees this happening normally on its df report, but on the host machine, this remains mostly unseen. I tried doing a mount -o remount, but that doesn't help, although umount/mount will do it.
Meanwhile I seem to be able to get at all the data just fine, and it's just the total used/free that gets out of whack. Is there any way to regenerate/reread those totals without doing a full umount/mount cycle?
Ubuntu :: Mozilla Lightning Did Not Made Into Repos
May 7, 2010How come mozilla lightning did not made into the repos for Lucid? My only chance is to download it from mozilla? I am using Lucid 32 bits. So. I did it, downloaded lightning-1.0b1-tb+sm-linux.xpi and installed fine:

However, none of the calendar functions are working, calendar itself opens, but no grid lines are displayed. When I click on an invitation for an event, nothing is shown as body, no options to accept or decline, and the message is not marked as read. How can I workaround it? I tried mozilla daily ppa but no luck, erased .thunderbird profile, no luck. What else can I try?

Ubuntu :: Scrub Made SSD 17MBps Faster?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Can't Remove A Shortcut Made By A Program
Jul 25, 2010I recently installed Acetone ISO in the hopes of installing a program, but alas it doesn't do what I need it to (run the MDF file like a disk rather than showing all the files in it, and because this is a multi-disk thing I'm installing I'm kinda stuck now) and I noticed it would make a new virtual drive every time I mounted an image, and I wound up with four of them, and each one had its own shortcut on my desktop. Well, I removed the program and deleted the folder it created, but these shortcuts are still on my desktop. And they are UNTOUCHABLE!
The command line ls -al ~/Desktop/ will show everything on the desktop BUT THEM, they have no permissions, and cannot be moved, copied, or deleted, because Ubuntu can't find volume information on them. I reinstalled the program to see if anything would help, and I noticed that the drives would go away if I unmounted the image (I coulda sworn I told it to before, but it didn't want to...) but now these drives are errors to the program, and I still can't remove the shortcuts.

I marked E to be used as swap, but it took all of the drive as swap space, and later when I corrected it so that it takes only 2 Gigs and went ahead with the install, it made that partition unusable.
Maybe because it doesn't allow more than 4 physical partitions.

Ubuntu :: Windows Won't Boot After Changes Made In Grub
May 18, 2010My computer originally had Vista installed on a sata hdd, and I added a second hdd (IDE) to install Ubuntu 8.04 and had been working great. Everything installed easy. few months ago I downloaded and reinstalled 9.10. That also worked good. I have been telling others about how well it has been working for me. I haven't had any trouble fixing any of the minor problems that I did come across like playing encrypted dvds.Well last week I upgraded to 10.04 using update mgr and it wanted to update grub. so i went ahead and let it.
after rebooting to Ubuntu (which is now a little slower than 9.10), the login screen page was shifted to the right. everything else was fine after logging in. windows also booted up ok. I found some info on a forum that helped me change resolution for grub, and I think I may have done more custom changes that I read online. everything seemed ok until this week. I try to boot into windows but after selecting the windows loader, the page just goes black and does nothing (cpu fan is working hard and doesn't slow) im not sure if i moved grub to wrong partition or if its configured to boot the right windows partition.I have two partitions on sata hdd. one is just the windows recovery. the IDE has Ubuntu only.

General :: Cat Made The Screen Permanently Unreadable
May 2, 2011Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0. I have a file named juan34. I was sure it was a plain text file so, instead of running first 'file juan34' I directly did 'cat juan34'. The result was everything echoed to the console are the ascii caracters greater than 127 decimal. In other words, the screen is unreadable.
I typed 'exit' but this did not remedy the situation. The login prompt was written with these strange chars. In another console I'm running a program which I estimate will terminate execution in 20 hours or more, so I do not want to reboot the machine.
When I worked in MS-DOS, I had (made) a program that reinitialized the 6845 CRT controller, fixing this problem (for this could also happen under that O.S.). But, if there is a solution for MS-DOS, all the more so there must be one under unix/linux.
