View 6 Replies View Relatedinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 LTS a few months ago, and the Opera browser was available to download. I've just reinstalled 10.04, and Opera is no longer an option. All the other browsers are available ie. firefox, chrome, seamonkey. Was Opera removed from the list only recently?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running 10.04. Great OS! However, the one small thing that annoys me is with the software centre, it doesn't tell you the size of the download. I know this probably doesn't bother people if you've got 50mb internet and unlimited downloads, however, I have 3.5mb, and a download limit!
Is there A) anyway I can get software centre to tell me the size of a download, and B) is this altered in later versions - due to my limit I don't want to download them to see - catch 22!
I am a new ubuntu user, I downloaded it because it was recommended over windows for programming uses. I am new to Ubuntu, and everytime I try and download something from the Ubuntu software center an error pops up saying:
"Requires installation of untrusted packages. The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
It does this for everything I try and download.
I can open the software centre but it doesn't load any options - simple a titled blank box

Have only been using Mint 11 for 3 days after 7 years with windows and the usual safety nets there were the https headings and firewalls blocking stuff but how do you know something is safe in Linux ?
In short how do you know it's a trusted site ?
I went to create a windows XP in my virtualbox and this pops up
Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root.
is this a safe download? its never asked me too do this before.
We all know we can install a linux system such as Fedora 10 and use it. Being linux, one should in principle get the source codes for everything that has been precompiled (except the proprietary drivers such as nvidia) in the installation DVDs/CDs. Where are the source codes ? Is there a place I can download them ?
To avoid confusion, I am not referring to the kernel source that can be compiled to give a linux kernel, but that does not include the drivers, such as intel_drv.so.
To be more specific, the intel graphic i810 driver has been built into any linux system, but where is the exact source? One answer may be that primary source intellinuxgraphics.com. However, if anyone tries to download the every changing (i.e., keep updated almost every single day) driver source codes from freedesktop.org, it is almost certain that the source codes will not be the same as the one that is finalized in Fedora 10.

But they also say the table cache should stay below 1/3 of the open files limit. I can raise that in mysql, but I guess you're not supposed to raise it above the OS's open files max. So I'd like to raise it (found what appear to be solid instructions here: [URL] But... Post by Kees here says it's not safe to raise it [URL] at least, not safe under certain conditions.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble running VMWare player in my linux. I am using:
VMware-Player-3.1.3-324285.i386.bundle
OpenSUSE 11.4
I was trying to run VMWare player but it prompt me that the vmmon module could not compile. After a search in the forum, I have install the kernel-source and kernel-syms. And now it prompt me a dialog: "Before you can run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel."
This dialog require me to give the location of the "Kernel Header 2.6.37.1-1.2-default". I am not able to locate the kernel source in OpenSUSE 11.4, or may be I haven't download it yet. May I know where can I get/download the kernel source?
