The agreement gives Microsoft and Amazon access to each other's patent portfolio and includes a broad range of products and technology, including Amazon's Kindle electronic book reader.How does this affect Ubuntu One and the Ubuntu EC2 dominance? Amazon conspiracy to take down Microsoft? The other way around? Google?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a PDF file that is portfolio. That means that a single PDF file contains many PDF documents (for example my PDF portfolio has 130 PDF documents). When I open this portfolio with the evince program I get this message: For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later.
I downloaded and installed the Adobe Reader 9 and everything went ok. I could open the portfolio and read all the PDF documents. Now, I am wondering if there is an open-source PDF reader that can read portfolios.
I am not able to access Amazon's Look Inside - the facility to inspect a few pages of books. (I have never been able to do this.) I have tried both at work (via a direct connection to a high-speed backbone) and at home (via Sky ISP). I can see the cover of the book but nothing beyond that - it says the page has expired or is invalid. But using Firefox on WinXP, I can access Look Inside happily both at home and at work.
Does anyone else have this problem with Ubuntu? Amazon's technical people just sent me a load of flannel blaming my ISP, my software, etc. They say no one else has raised this.
If somebody could try it and let me know, I'd be grateful for the results. Am I missing a plug-in?

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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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.

Unfortunately, I can't locate where the downloader executable was installed and don't know how to make a file association.

If I issue the passwd <user> command and change their passwords, they can login again....until I reboot the machine at which time they cannot login again until I change their passwords. The problem exists even from the machine. That is, if root attempts to ssh into 127.0.0.1 using their username/password, the same problem/resolution exists.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOver 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
has anyone been successful in using the Amazon MP3 downloader on 11.2? It does no longer work because it wants specific (old) versions of libboost*:
[krienke@bliss:~/tmp] 1001 > /usr/bin/amazonmp3
/usr/bin/amazonmp3: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.36.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[krienke@bliss:~/tmp] 1002 > locate libboost_filesystem
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.so
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.39.0
I notified Amazon about this, and they said they do not know if or when there will be a running version of the MP3 downloader available and without it there is no way to download any MP3 from Amazon. They gave me back my money and recommended to buy elsewhere....
Does anyone know if installing the old version of libboost (from 11.1) will work? What else, aside from amazons downloader, does use libboost*? So what app might fail if I install the old version of libboost suitable for the downloader?
I have read some of the previous posts on banshee,etc but i am not smart enough to understand it. I downloaded the amazon mp3 downloader and tried to install it and it said "Failed to install file.

I am interested in signing up to the Amazon EC2 service with EBS. I have never used a unmanaged vps before, but I know how to use the command line etc. There are some basic packs on there to use, with basic LAMP stacks. But I would like to ask about how do I:
Upgrade a lamp stack? - someone mentioned yum, but what is this? how easy is it to use? is it enough? secure the lamp stack? - assuming I have no idea of linux security, can you give me a list or something of things I need to consider so I can begin the search (or just cover the steps would be awesome!) My website just uses php and mysql, so thats all i'll need. If you have any other tips on this,
I installed Banshee and upgraded it but I don't see the Amazon Music Store.
