Can anyone shed some light on "Karmic 64 bit" VM successfully running "TurboTax 2009"?
Reading the mail over on VirtualBox that someone has done so with "XP/ Mint 8/ VM".
when I run synaptic I can open the list of apps. and select but then I apply to download and get "error we failed to fetch etc etc." Seems to be an rpm problem but not sure. ????
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was told that the TurboTax DRM overwrites a boot sector on the first hard drive, possibly causing problems to the "non-windows" OS. Up to now I had used TT on a W2K only machine. Now that I have converted the whole office to Ubuntu or dual boot, I don't have the option anymore.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave been using Karmic kaola for a few months on my toshiba tecra laptop..as of yesterday unable to boot up..all I get is a black screen on start up with no further activity..no bios menu etc..the led lights up for the power source and occasionally lights up on the hard drive which seems to make some noise as if trying to function...did connect it up to an external monitor which displayed the start up toshiba logo but then came up with the message error: "invalid enviroment block" unable to load default boot entries.am wondering if 1. there is a fault with the grub set up?2. Something more serious as my laptop screen refuses to function?3. Will I be able to retrieve my hard drive data using ubuntu live cd connected to an external monitor?

It sounded rather tinny at first, when I tried mbp3 and other model names. Then I added the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf :

After reboot, my sound is full and can be put much louder than before. Jack detection works. Some people might have to leave out the power saving options. See below.

Sources consulted are mostly the kernel documentation ( Enter into the terminal: sudo apt-get install linux-doc
The relevant info can be found in HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz and HD-Audio.txt.gz in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/sound/alsa )
What's the right direction or give me step by step on how to do this?

I know that I'll require the "Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI" to get Dual DVI Adpaters, but I wanted to confirm that dual head would be supported from the start. I'm aware that there are issues with rebooting the device, possibly as a result of the wireless drivers. That doesn't bother me. Dual-head is a requirement I intend installing 9.10 and dual booting macos for firmware updates.

I tried both installing 11.3 on top of 11.2 and a new install with the same result on a couple of different mac pros (with 2009 ATI Radeon HD 4870 with 512MB of GDDR5 memory, 2.66 GHz 2x4 core Xeon 3500, 24 GB of memory). The install was done via the downloadable dvd from opensuse.org. The graphics of the install process looked fine as well as the configuration. When it came time to boot, however, the suse splash screen showed up and then the monitor went dark. The graphics seems to be frotzed. Now attempting to boot from the DVD does not cause the display to do anything. Even putting a mac DVD restore disk (and using C during boot) does not result in anything on the display). Any ideas of what the installation could have done -- seems like a no-brainer that something is screwed up with the graphics card, but I have no real proof and even less idea of what to try next.

PC linux OS 2009 looks good, feels good, but when I play any media through Amarok or video through any of its media players, there is no sound.I made sure that it wasn't muted, and I turned all areas of the PC up as high as they would go, but nothing.

in an attempt to demonstrate just how compatible our college Macs are (please hold the tomatoes) I'm trying to install Ubuntu Karmic alongside Mac OS X Leopard and Windows XP Pro SP2. The problem is, I hold down 'C' to boot from the CD, and all I get is a black screen with a flashing DOS-style cursor. If I boot it without holding C, it works just fine, booting into either Mac or Windows (whichever I specified).This is understandably irritating, and I'm trying to figure out the source of the problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid, I guess one of those upgrades was the tex engine, it was upgraded to texlive 2009.Though It can render everything I could render beforehand, I am having trouble about one thing. I cannot use the additional preferences that can be used to edit an image when using includegraphics function.
For example:
egin{figure} [H]
centering
includegraphics[width=0.7linewidth,angle=-90,trim = 5mm 8mm 10mm 0mm, clip]{example.ps}
end{figure}
Used to rotate my ps file, trim it, then scale it as specified. Now, I get an error:
./Rapor.tex:59:Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted) ...e=-90,trim = 5mm 8mm 10mm 0mm, clip]{example.ps}
If there is only [width=linewidth] tex doesn't recognize linewidth and prints:
./Rapor.tex:59:Missing number, treated as zero...includegraphics[width=linewidth]{example.ps}
and the output file has the text within the square brackets, rather than the image.
Somehow there is a problem or a change in how this usage is interpreted. I am using:
usepackage{float}
usepackage{graphicx}
packages that are related to graphics. I'm using Kile 2.0.85, but the problem is editor independent, I get the same results with Texmaker. I am using the exact same .tex sources that I used with Karmic.
What I've tried:
I installed texlive packages from scratch, with Kile.I changed the graphicx.sty file with a version that I found on the net.
I have installed Debian 8 Jessie on my mid 2009 (5.5?) macbook pro. My computer is dual booted with OS X. I installed / on a partition with 30GB space, /home with 40GB, and swap with 4GB. My computer states are: 4GB ram, Intel Core Two Duo CPU 8700 2.53 Ghz x2, Graphics Gallium 0.4 on NVAC. The system has been running great compared to any other distro I have tried, except for that it randomly freezes sometimes. I've been running it for 4 days now and it has locked up 4 times.
Twice waking from suspend, once when changing the desktop background photo, and once after a reboot. I've a little afraid of messing with NVIDIA drivers as I tried that with various other distros and every time I rebooted after using these drivers the system would never boot into GUI and crazy kernal panic would insue. This is the closest I have come to successfully running linux on my mac. If there are any logs or information I can provide to find a solution to the freezing that would be amazing, because I absolutely love this setup!
I'm running Maya 2009 64 bits on Fedora 13 64 bits in GNOME Desktop and it's run perfectly, but the thing I cannot believe is the openmotif UI. I can't believe that a software like Maya on this gorgeous OS looks like a '90 MS-DOS program. Is there anything we can do from GNOME/Linux to change this? or this is a Autodesk lazy programmer that cannot rewrite their UI in at least GTK.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy work reponsibilities now include a new server running Centos 5.2 on a Dual Xeon Dell server machine with Raid 1 on 2 160Gb disks, but I have no experience of Linux, let alone Centos.I figured I'd download an image and load it on a spare machine just so I could get used to the OS and try things out without risking my live server. My only available spare at present is a Toshiba laptop from 2000 (it was top of the range at the time, but probably looks bad compared to my pocket smartphone now).My questions are:
a) Is it feasible to load Centos on this old donkey of a laptop? Would I struggle to find the right drivers, etc., or is it all contained in the distribution?
b) Assuming it runs, would the differences between the two implementations significantly affect my learning experience?
c) Assuming the two are similar enough to make the laptop a useful reference/staging/learning tool, where do I start? I've already downloaded an ISO image for LiveCD (i386) and burned it to a CD but the CD doesn't seem to have anything I recognise. Windows (both Vista and XP) treats it like any data CD and shows no autorun behaviour with it.
