Ubuntu Installation :: Differences 10.10 VS 10.4?

Sep 23, 2010

I am not having a problem but I was just wondering, now that 10.10 launch is coming nearer, whether or not to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. 10.4 is working fine and the only real reason for me to upgrade would be a better boot time (is there a better boot time with 10.10?) ... or am I missing an other important reason?

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrading To 11.04 - Couldn't Get Out From The "showing Differences Menu"

May 9, 2011

I was upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 with terminal. When terminal asked about mime.types (it asks what to do with it) I chose showing me the differences between the new and the old versions. and then I couldn't get out from the "showing differences menu"! so, I shut down the terminal. and now I'm afraid to reboot the computer. can someone possibly say, what i am to do next is it okay to reboot my computer. or do i have to do smth first? Oh, and i almost forgot, when i sudo do-release-upgrade i says that i have latest version and doesn't do anything. update manager isn't showing up neither

Ubuntu :: Differences Between 8.10 And 9.10

Apr 3, 2010

Seen as my ATI driver doesn't support Ubuntu 9.10 and neither does LinuxMCE [my two biggest bug bears at the moment] I am considering downgrading to Ubuntu 8.10.

I just wondered if there were any major differences or if I am likely to see any major issues because of things that were fixed or added to 9.10 that weren't available in 8.10.

Ubuntu :: Differences Between Gnome And KDE?

Aug 4, 2010

I've seen in the forums people prefer or dislike Gnome/KDE. I looked around and the differences seem to be cosmetic and not that complicated. Are there any differences "under the hood"? What I mean by this is maybe the way programs behave, user options, etc. or is it all cosmetic?

Ubuntu :: Differences Between Netbook And Desktop

Feb 13, 2010

what the actual differences are between the different versions?Is it simply in the interface or does netbook have different services running by default, different hardware detection or anything else that makes the system run any differently? I know netbook doesn't have compiz installed by default but is the rest of the package set the same? I ask because I have been having various problems with boot and audio along with a few other niggles. I was running the desktop edition through the betas and the RC with no problems at all but I installed lucid final from a netbook edition iso and have done two more fresh installs from netbook iso and seem to be having a lot more issues.

Ubuntu :: (10.10) Differences In Font Rendering Between Qt And Gtk?

Mar 7, 2011

I've got a slight problem here, and have had it for a while: When I use the "Sharp'N'Clear" .fonts.conf from Here, and set an optimized font like Arial, gtk-based applications render correctly, while Qt-based ones don't As you can see, the top window(Firefox) has it's fonts clean and nice. The bottom one(Dolphin) does not. Both are set to Arial 9. I've tried it with a number of different applications, including some custom PyQt4 stuff, and it's clear that it's -all- Qt-based applications and not just one or two.

For further information, I've had this problem ever since I upgraded from Kubuntu 9.10 a while back - That version worked correctly on both Qt and gtk, but nothing since has.

Ubuntu :: Subtle Differences In How Qt And Gtk Handle The Xim IM_MODULE?

May 24, 2010

how do I get compose keys to work the same in qt, x apps like xterm, and gtk apps ? -- seems like a simple enough question right? it's not.I followed the instructions here: eKey and that worked, sort of. but I notice some differences. gnome and gtk apps get a different set of compose keys than qt and apps like xedit, xterm, etc. After finding that first wiki page and going through it I foundwhat appears to happen is that, however xim actually returns compose keys to gnome, gnome behaves as if:

1. it first reads the /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir and finds the compose file for you locale.
2. it loads those compose key definitions.
3. it loads and overwrites previous definitions with ~/.XCompose definitions, but

Ubuntu Servers :: Differences Between Diagnose & Desktop?

Jun 26, 2010

I am struggling to get my wireless usb working on a fresh installation of Ubuntu Server 10.04, but it works just fine on a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop 10.04. So I am trying to work out what's causing the discrepancy. I know the Server version is a "minimal install" of Ubuntu, so something must be missing that affects its overall abilities.

I am planning to compare the file system of a totally fresh Desktop version with a Server version - and would appreciate as much additional brain-power as possible to assist in the plan/execution of what I should be comparing. I hope this will throw up a solution as to what is NOT installed/configured on the Server version that prevents my wireless from working. [It will teach me a lot as well ] COMPARISON PLANAll programs installed on both file systems (looking for differences) Program differences which affect network setup and related hardware (I'm not sure of what this list should have on it) Related configuration files which might affect connectivity (same here - not sure what configures what at this stage)

* Do $lsmod to look for installed wireless drivers Miscellaneous tests
* Disable security on wireless router to see if security config is the cause I'm not sure if the kernel build will be different and if so how to establish this... but somehow wonder if this affects the outcome

If anyone is willing to assist in filling out the gaps in this plan I would really appreciate it. Or maybe there is a better way?

I'm thinking of trying out opensuse for a while. However, I'm used to Ubuntu so I'd like to know what the major differences are between the two distros. Hopefully, that will allow me to make a better comparison. I'm not talking about differences like "this is more 'polished' than that" or " this looks cooler than that".. I want to if there are differences in the file system... the software..

General :: Differences Between Two USB Keyboards?

Jun 24, 2011

I have a proprietary device - something like an iPad screen - which has a front panel display with touchscreen buttons that work internally as a USB keyboard. During testing/debugging I want to connect it to another keyboard via the external USB port.Any application which I open on the device by pressing some characters on the touchscreen accepts input codes from either USB keyboard. I want to limit the touchscreen USB keyboard input only to a specific set of apps.Is there a program which can help me detect which USB port or device the code is coming from? Or someway I can map one keyboard to send a different set of codes? The device is using Linux.

General :: Differences Between XFree86 And KDE?

Oct 7, 2009

My old Intrepid box got old and senile in the hardware, so I had to take it back round the shed and put her down.I buried her next to her favorite tree in the backyard. So yes, I got this new Mini ITX setup with a dual core Atom processor and 4 gigs of ram for my new computer. I'm going to use it as a media center in my living room. However Atom 1.6 ghz is no screamer so I'd like to build a system using a light weight operating environment to leave more power for running programs and playing my media.

I could install the latest version of Kubuntu again but I thought this time I'd try to get a bit deeper into Linux and educate myself. Could someone clarify the differences between XFree86, Window Manager, and a Desktop Environment (KDE/GNOME/etc)? I know it goes like Hardware -> XServer -> XFree86 -> Window Manager (I read the tutorial on linux.org). But where does KDE or a "Desktop Environment" come in? Is KDE a decked out window manager with its own programs that runs on top of XFree86 or what? Or does it totally replace XFree86?

Programming :: Differences Of C And Pascal

Feb 22, 2010

I was wondering what are the main difference with these two languages? I mean besides just the syntax, only recently started looking at pascal. I find the syntax of Pascal nicer than C. So under the hood so to speak what are the differences? Also why do i see many look down at Pascal? Since C and C++ now are in more use than pascal, im guessing it offers something that Pascal and Object Pascal cant?

General :: What Are Basic Differences Between Desktops?

Jun 4, 2010

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?

Software :: Differences Between LEACH Results On Ns2.1b5 And Ns2.35?

May 11, 2011

I have implemented LEACH on ns2.35. But, the simulation results vary highly from the LEACH paper. The energy consumption in ns2.35 seems to be 4-5 times that of the LEACH paper (which used ns2.1b5). So, I assume it is due to differences in ns2 versions.

Debian :: Best Web Browser To Use / Differences Between Iceweasel And Firefox?

Jun 10, 2011

I got a message from Paypal (no not a scam) that said "It looks like you may be using an outdated browser with known security issues."

I am assuming it is because it may not recognize iceweasel, paypal does recommend firefox and iceweasel is based on firefox... but it may not be the same..

anyone gone through this?

Debian :: Differences With *buntus That Annoy Noobs?

Mar 8, 2010

I am trying to delete some files to make space. But, I made the mistake of 'moving to the trash bin Whoops Doing this in Debian requires running through hoops trying to find files that went into a black hole. In Ubuntu, I move it to the Trash bin.I empty the trash bin and I'M DONE. REPEAT: I'M THEN DONE. Why, why, why, make it so hard? If I should do it a different way, how should I delete files so that they are GONE so that I can free up some disk space? I don't know where the files went now and when I run 'df -h', it shows exactly the same before I 'deleted' the files. I assume they exist someplace.

I then tried:
rm -fr /home/username/.Trash

Checking again using 'df -h' shows no change. I'm confused. Please help and excuse my frustration. I guess I'm still too raw as I don't do these tasks very often. I have to do some major copying soon, though, as I want to copy many many files from my home partition to an external drive. I hope I can receive some help/support for that if I have trouble. Also, please suggest some steps for freeing up disk space from moving/copying files to another drive to deleting files. I recall there are some commands that might delete temp files, too (disk 'clean' type?).

OpenSUSE Install :: Latest Kernel - What Are The Differences Between 11.4 And 11.3

Mar 20, 2011

Installed 11.4 yesterday and wanted to check i'm running the latest kernel. uname -a brings up (and a little other thing before hand)

2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-02-21 10:34:10 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Is this the latest version. i don't know how old 11.4 is, but there weren't a great deal of updates. have added a few repos like packman etc.

Kept /home as the same and what a difference that made. i used to do a fresh install every time, it saved just about all my settings!!! just needed a few more programs and stuff but nothing major.

Really quick, clean install. just need to delete my old root partition for the old 11.3 system.

Would also just like to know are there many differences between 11.3 and 11.4?

This probably sounds like a stupid question but I'm having a lot of trouble clearly differentiating between a shell (such as Bourne or bash) and the Terminal application in GNOME. I realise that both are completely different but I can't seem to find a clear answer written in text. Could anyone clearly distinguish between both?
