Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Date/Time Change - 9.10 Live ISO
Apr 6, 2010I am using Grub4Dos to boot Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Live CD. In the menu.lst i made the following changes.
Quote:
title Ubuntu LiveCD 9.10
find --set-root /ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso
map /ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff)
[Code]....
The code runs fine and Ubuntu loads also from the ISO stored in the C: drive of my system.
The problem is when Ubuntu loads it changes my clock time. I have set the timezone to Indian Standard Time. Since it is live CD it should not make any changes in the system however, it does change the Data/Time of my system.

General :: Cannot Change The Default Setup Of The Computer?
Jul 23, 2011I would like to run Windows (XP preferred) games and Linux on my MacBook Pro I got from school. However, there are some rules I have to follow. If I need to I will try to further clarify the rules, since they are in Swedish and there isn't a perfect translation. I cannot use Boot Camp. This is because Windows machines get viruses 24/7 and there are no viruses on Mac. Furthermore, we are using Visual Studio for about half the things we do through a virtual machine. Perfect for debugging, performance and "virtual machines don't get viruses", right? At least that's what my teachers think. I cannot change the default setup of the computer. In Swedish this basically tells me I cannot even start it up because then I will mount the drive, and make changes in RAM, and use the processor, and move electrodes from the battery and so on. They're telling me that that's way to specific, though, and that we aren't allowed to change the operating system files. I think we break that rule with each update, install or setting we ever touch. I may not use any program without first showing a receipt. The original casing, CD and the CD key isn't enough. A license like GNU is ok, though.
I basically need a way to boot into a USB drive or CD, with the ability to use network and DX9 to play games on Windows. Linux support isn't as crucial since OS X does have a lot of Linux support already. I've tried other ways of working around the rules like running games in Wine but I can't get DX9 based games to work and the FPS is terrible. They have the right to check the computer at any time to see if there is something bad there. Swapping a harddrive will definately be noticed.
Ubuntu :: Panel: Paraylzed Computer - Unable To Right Click To Remove Or Change
Jan 16, 2011I wanted to create another panel on my computer. I created one, which formed directly above one that I already had (at the bottom of one of my two screens). Just out of curiosity I asked it to autohide. That was a big mistake. Now, I am unable to right click to remove or change the panel (the right click menu doesn't appear). This is true for all my panels. I thought logging out might fix it. No luck. Restart. No luck. Now my "top level" panel won't load, which means I don't have access to any of the main menus at all. Basically, the only think I can access at this point is what is on my desktop.

OpenSUSE Install :: Change Computer Name / Dedicated Root Password
Dec 2, 2009I don't know that this post fits here, nor does it fit in "Applications." installing suse doesn't seem to give you the chance to name your computer. Now my computer is called "linux-0qvi" or something strange like that. I want to name my computer. Can I do this now without screwing things up??
Also, during install, there didn't seem to be an opportunity to make a separate root password. My first (and main user) account is now set up with admin rights, so I have to type in my account password every time I do something as root. Can I set a separate dedicated root password without screwing up my system?
Hardware :: USB Thumb Drive Connect With Computer - Quickly Change What Was On Screen
May 9, 2010Can Linux emulate a USB disk? Why would you want to do this you ask? Say you have a digital picture frame that uses a USB thumb drive you could connect your computer to it and quickly change what was on the screen. I realize you need some special hardware for this as both the PC and the frame would want to be USB masters. But there are USB transfer cables you can buy on-line that do USB master to master connections.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Access Computer A's Shares As Well As The Third Computer, The Aforementioned Computers Cannot Access Computer B
May 28, 2011I have three computers in my network, but two will be mentioned. Computer A is a Linux Mint 9/Windows 7 dual-boot, and I have just installed Mandriva Free 2010.2, which I will call Computer B.
Now my main problem is that Computer B, while it can see and access Computer A's shares as well as the third computer, the aforementioned computers cannot access Computer B. The message was: "Unable to mount location/Failed to mount Windows share." Now, the SMB protocol was used because of the third computer and Computer A have Windows OSs installed in them.
What I originally wanted was that I can share Computer B's NTFS partition, namely Documents and Downloads, to the other computers. And I can't do that, because of the error message.
What I can do, however, is use Computer B to view shares from the other two computers (Computer A, as an example). By my experiences in Linux Mint, I understand that I'd have to mount my Windows partitions in order to share them. I don't even know if my NTFS drive in Computer B is mounted, though that is what was described.
Fedora Installation :: Installation Screwed Up Computer?
Mar 31, 2009So i've been trying to install linux on all my machines, but there is one troublesome machine, mydesktop.But my question is not how to install it, but rather how to remove it :PSo I installed fedora, unfortunately i still cant boot into it properly and it goes into the text based thing.But the real problem is that in the bootloader that fedora comes with, when i select "Other" it boots into my D: partition which is the recovery partition that my computer shipped with. In the recovery partition i cant do anything and specifically delete the fedora installation and the bootloader it came with. I need to boot into the normal C: partition where windows vista is installed.So i tried to repair the Windows vista bootsector but it said that the boot thingy was fine
