Ubuntu :: MS License Imposed On Me During Last Update?
Dec 4, 2010
I've just ran update manager to be presented with a pop-up window with Microsoft EULA for MS fonts intaller. I do not want to accept it, but the "back" button isn't working and the only other present button is "forward". I really doubt that one or two other PPA's that I have set up are trying to pull this, but I'll leave that option open until I get an answer.

I have a hand-me-down laptop (Thinkpad T400, but this is an OS question, not a hardware question) that I plan to hand down once more to my mom, who is very Linux illiterate and wants to run Windows. The Thinkpad came with XP, but the license key has rubbed off. When I received the Thinkpad, it was running Ubuntu only, and I never bothered to investigate re-installing Windows. Basically, I want to recover the license key so I don't have to blow $150 or however much Windows 7 costs these days. Is it possible to recover the Windows XP license key in Linux after Windows has been wiped from the system?

Got a laptop I'm working on, the motherboard is fried. So I am archiving the data from the hard drive using a USB to Sata adapter. Is there a program native to Linux that can locate software license keys on an external drive similar to how Belarc Advisor or License Crawler does from Windows? If not, I can slave the drive in a Windows machine, I just normally do data retrieval in linux so I can safely scan the data.

I'm trying to setup the conkyforecast.py and I need the Partner ID and the License Key for Xoap. Weather.com has yet to send them to me. How long does it usually take for them to send this information? It has been almost 24 hours since I registered.

Ubuntu 10.4 -- I am trying to install Java into my browser following the instruction below. But I am stuck because when I get to the screen with the license agreement I hit enter and nothing happens. So I cannot agree to the license and cannot finish the installation. Can anyone get me out of this bind?sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fontsThe above command will download all the required packages and begins the installation, you�ll get a screen that contains the Sun Operating System Distributor License for Java and hit Enter to continue.You�ll see a dialog that asks you if you agree with the DLJ license terms

Over the last week or so I ran into a problem that was caused by a mix of justifiable frustration with an Ubuntu distribution upgrade in combination with, well let's just be blunt about it: a dimly lit candle upstairs. Ubuntu decided that it was going to download 50 megabytes of font packages whether I wanted it to or not, so, when I came back to find the license requester waiting for my response, I thought it was referring to those fonts that I told it not to download, but which it downloaded anyway (steam, steam, steam!), so I rejected the license. Instead, it was referring to the MScoreFonts package (which I DID want). Upon discovering what I had done, I found out that, using the Software Center, I could download those packages all I wanted to and they would NEVER install properly because I would never again get re-presented with the option of accepting the license. Instead, I am simply reminded over and over again that I have rejected the license. Apparently, Software Center is a tad unforgiving of stupid mistakes.
The answer, my friends, is not blowing in the wind, but is contained in a readme file that gets left where the fonts would have been installed. To save you a little bit of time, here is what you need to do to get those fonts installed: Open a terminal and enter the following quoted command (without the quotes, of course): "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer" This will present you with a text-based requester to use the arrow keys to highlight the "<ok>" at the bottom and hit return, thus accepting the license. From this point the install should go smoothly. Regarding the frustration mentioned above: I am not Japanese; I don't know any Japanese; and no Japanese is going to be using my systems, so, no, I do NOT need that 50 megabyte Japanese font.

We are going to buy notebooks for our company and as Nvidia graphic card drivers are proprietary I would like to avoid them and support a graphics card company that offers free open source license for their graphics card drivers. Are there any such companies? ATI?

I have a tar of .deb files that contains all the packages I need to install on a new system. I know that by using
code...
There are several packages, however, that require that I accept a license agreement. I have been unable to find a dpkg parameter that will make it automatically respond "yes" when it needs to. I know there is an apt-get parameter like this, and my understanding is that apt-get invokes dpkg, so I have to assume there is one for dpkg.
I've been through the man page (maybe I missed it) and searched around, but all the answers I find are for apt-get.
Is there a parameter for dpkg that will allow me to automatically accept license agreements?

I am a newbie in Linux. Here is my question....
Create the file ~/license_counts, which tables the number of occurrences of packages which are licensed under a given license, for the top 5 most commonly used licenses, sorted in numerically descending order. If performed correctly, your file should be formatted similarly to the following. (Do not be concerned if the actual counts or license names are different. Also, you might notice logically similar licenses, such as LGPL/GPL and GPL/LGPL. Do not make any attempt to combine them into a single entry.)
The resulted format:
I tried some method but cannot get it to work.

Does Redhat provide a 'site' license option? The amount of server my company keeps adding is growing to quickly so this would be a more ideal solution. Does any one know about this or where I could find more information? For some reason i can't access certain pages on their site (probably connection issues with this connection's firewall).

Code:
# dmesg | grep nvidia
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
I searched around and found out the kernel accepts only GPL modules, which is pretty dumb. People recommended using rpmfusion's akmods, but that's what I'm using to begin with.
How can I fix this without having to recompile the kernel?
Code:
# uname -r
2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64

Installed Fedora 13 on an old computer (Sony Vaio RX660 with a 1.8 gig P4 cpu). Downloaded java 21 bin file and as root, placed it in a folder I created: /usr/java so it would be accessible to all users.as root in terminal I did a chmod a+x to the file. Then ls -l, which showed I had full read/write with it. Finally, still root, and in terminal, I did the ./jre <etc>.bin and the package immediately unpacked and created files, but never showed me a license agreement to accept.Java, of course, does not work. What am I doing wrong

When I try to install this extension in OpenOffice, I'm asked to read (and scroll through) the "Extension Software License Agreement" and accept it - but there are no buttons and no scroll bars. I tried clicking all over in case it was just invisible, but no luck.If I close the window, installation doesn't proceed.I'm on Mandriva 2009.0, but thinking of trying out Debian.

Does the "Exhibit A" section at the bottom of the MPL need to be filled out within the license text itself? Is just including the "boiler-plate" license comment from [URL] in all source files and a verbatim copy of the MPL sufficient to cover a project?
There are blanks within the "Exhibit A" section that look like they should be filled out, yet it doesn't make sense that the license text should need to be modified in addition to the boiler-plate license comment.
