Ubuntu :: Windows 7 Integration Into OS?
Jul 26, 2010
how to take a windows 7 install and intergrate it into linux. i like that wine integrates into the windows manager. but of course wine simply doesn't do what i want. i love linux because of complete customization. i like windows 7 because it runs the programs i use on a daily basis properly. i know there has to be some way this can be done. im getting tired of using windows 7 inside a virtual machine for varius reasons. i know there has to be someway i can combine linux and windows normally.

Is there a simple latex-compliant text editor (gedit or something else easy to learn) for linux that supports reading and writing MS Windows files? It the editor doesn't support it, I may choose to wrap the files in "unix2dos" or something.
My girlfriend is about to start a new project at her MS Windows oriented university, and I'd love to set her up with latex (both there and at home) and linux at home. I'm aiming at having her SSH'ing into the university's systems, and use a simple text editor to edit her latex files that must be MS Windows compliant.
Furthermore, it's important that the files are encrypted. Is it possible to encrypt a folder on MS Windows at school, and decrypt it at home using linux?

I just installed 10.04 and am really impressed I am enjoying it more then win 7 and mac osx. The integration of social networking from the top panel was one of my fav features however my niece got hold of my laptop and deleted it and I cant figure out how to restore it along with all of the features. I dont want to have to reinstall now after finally getting everything where I wanted it.

I've got it in the notifications, I've got it in the indicator applet... How do I get rid of the evolution buttons in the indicator and get a working "Dynamic" Thunderbird one? (With the compose message, inbox buttons etc) Need the indicator to respond and look like the mail icon. Also, does Thunderbird have a "Silent mode" where it can run without a window and show notifications when needed? Is there a way to have contacts in a tab? I need to switch cause evolution is driving me insane with the constant password requests... It could fill up the hundred paper-cuts all on its own...

Ubuntu works pretty well on most of the desktop computer (drivers support), the basic functionality like, keyboard, sound card, network card generally works well. But when it comes to laptop computer, really need luck. Some laptop's keyboard works weird, some cannot play music. I am recently thinking of buying a new laptop. Is there any website shows you which brand of laptop recommends which version of linux? or ubuntu works better on which brand of laptop?

I recently purchased a Cyberpower CP1000PFCLCD UPS and much to my surprise when connected via USB to my PC (running Natty) the Gnome Power Management tool is able to see it and read some data, however the support is not complete. Gnome always thinks the UPS is supplying 0.0V although it is does properly read some data such as 'Time to empty'. Is it possible to configure the Gnome power application to properly speak to the UPS? If its not possible to have Gnome play nice with this UPS is it possible to at least have the UPS be ignored by the power mgmt tools?
I am able to use the Cyberpower utility but it would be slick to be able to use the Gnome tools for its history and statistics.

present we have a folder shared between branches (Approx 10G of data) and we're using Windows 2003 with DFS but this has had a number of issues and thus is scheduled to be replaced with a Linux solution for various reasons.I would need a scalable system that will allow me to start off with 5 servers each having a samba?hare to Windows pc's. The 5 servers though must replicate any changes made to the folder. So if server 1 received a new file, it should replicate the change to servers 2-5 etc... Ideally I would also like the shares to allow for AD based permissions.Can anyone recommend a way forward with this? I am currently looking into GlusterFS and lsyncd as two options for the replication

Iam trying to integrate drbd 8.0.16 in 5.3 release.
Installation of drbd was successful but modinfo fails to identify drbd kernel module.
[root@inccishh0884 usbs]# /sbin/modinfo drbd
modinfo: could not find module drbd
[root@inccishh0884 usbs]#
[root@inccishh0884 usbs]# ls -l `find /lib/modules -name drbd.ko`
[Code].....
how i can make the modinfo to identify the drbd modules present in 2.6.18-128.4.1/extra folder.
Is there a drbd module available that matches exactly with the kernel version 2.6.18-128.el5

so I got bugzilla up and running (finally) on an ubuntu server...
but in order to use the ldap integration, you need:
Mozilla::LDAP (aka PerLDAP) Perl module
Mozilla/Netscape LDAP SDK
neither of which exist in the repositories, or anywhere on the internet. the best I could find was a request to build a package from over a year ago...
I did find source that I can build... the Perl module builds and starts to begin the setup process -- but I get stuck at the point where it requires the SDK... which I cannot find anywhere in a plain downloadable form. the one I found seems incomplete:

total 24
-rwxrwxrwx 1 david david 14219 2011-04-29 18:31 extension.js

I'm running Debian unstable on amd64 with KDE4 desktop. I know there exists KDE integration package, that enables iceweasel to use KDE file dialogs. In ubuntu its called kmozillahelper. There was similar packages in Debian (called differently as far as I remember). I happily used it in unstable, but several weeks ago it disappeared for some reason and I can not find it.info on iceweasel + KDE integration in Debian?

I install Firefox 3.6 from the mozilla/openSUSE_11.2 repo, but F6 didn't work; so, I tried uninstalling it and installing Firefox proper. Of course, none of the KDE integration worked with that; so, I am back at the normal repo's Firefox but no KDE integration (same with Thunderbird). I do have MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE, MozillaFirefox-theme-oxygen, and mozilla-xulrunner191-kde4 installed.

Just installed Iceape because Iceweasel uses Xine which does not work correctly. How I get the complex bookmarks across to Iceape? There is a menu option for transferring a bookmark *file*, perhaps that's the thing, but which file should be specified?

I'm playing a little bit with tracker, and I particularly like the feature that enables you to tag files. I was trying to see if there was a way to integrate it into Nautilus, and I stumbled upon this: [URL]. Which, of course, doesn't work for me! (Fedora 10). One thing to note is that they say to install python-nautilus, which I couldn't find, so I installed nautilus-python instead... just a different name for different distros or are they actually 2 different packages?

apps that ran and installed just fine under 11.1 don't (seem to) under 11.2.I was running Gnome under 11.1, and have used the same desktop as I moved to 11.2.For example, I was able to install and run the Novell Support Advisor 1.1 under SLED 11.1 just fine. I would need to authenticate as root before the app would run, but it would run just fine.After I upgraded from SLED 11.1 to 11.2, things just don't seem to be as stable. NSA (and other apps) seem to install, but their icons don't appear in the applications folder, and when I login su and then attempt to run, the terminal window usually hangs.
I can't get a CIFS client to install (I see it in the list of installed apps, but it's not present under YAST).Banshee was a beautiful app under 11.1, but I feel like I spend more time working around it's glitches in 11.2 rather than setting it to play and enjoying it's usefulness.The Novell Client (yes, I know, it's not officially supported under 11.2) has caused me enough heartache that I VNC an XP box just to get to files.So anyway, enough whining, what can/should I do to work through these issues? Should I just give up and go back to 11.1? Is it better to burn and re-build rather than upgrade per the OpenSUSE docs? Is there some "magic" log files folder (other than availble via YAST) to see where error messages are occurring so I can troubleshoot the issues better?

Opensuse 11.3 64bit
Firefox 3.6.8
I can't use the save-as in the menu. So, I use the keyboard shortcuts workaround discovered in another topic. The organize bookmarks->import and backup-> backup won't work. There are no keyboard shortcuts to bypass the bug. How do I get around this?

With a default 11.4 (64bit) installation with Gnome - and using the 11.4 one click installer on
VideoLAN - VLC: Free streaming and multimedia solutions for all OS! - the 11.3 integration seems to have worked better.
The first issue is that it's no longer automatically integrated into the right click context menu of movie files.
This integration happened in 11.3.
The second, which I think is user error but I really cannot get it to work is dragging and dropping files does not work.
-> Open Nautilus
-> Navigate to folder with movie files
-> Open VLC
-> Click on a file in Nautilus and try and drag it onto VLC
The VLC is hidden during the file click and drag, so a drag to the bottom panel is required to try and activate VLC - however, VLC is never activated. I have tried different positions on screen but still over the VLC entry to try and activate it, but nothing happens.
This same sequence on 11.3 correctly activates VLC so I can drag and drop.
A workaround on 11.4 is to make VLC "Always on top" via the right click menu on the VLC title bar.

I am trying out few stuff with Linux and Windows. I have a 'Postfix' mail server on CentOS 5.5 with 'dovecot' and 'squirrel' (webmail) working fine. I am just wondering, how can I create bulk mailboxes on CentOS 5.5 (for postscript) so that the the users can access their mail from the browser (squirrel mail)?
How can I integrate with Active Directory? I am also looking for techniques to automatically create bulk users (for example 100 users) on Active Directory with a default passwords (or random passwords if possible) that integrate with Postfix.

I'm looking to install the Microsoft Hyper-V Linux Integration Services (IC) on F13. I'm running F13 fine on Hyper-V, but with IC I should get better performance. I've read that IC may be built-into 2.6.33 kernels, though I'm not sure if it is in F13.

I installed Fedora 15 on Hyper-V (Windows host). I installed to disk, rebooted. Now I'm off to installing the Integration services, but I've got a few problems:
1) Since it is not yet installed, it looks like the network is not functional.
2) From what I can see, I need to have a couple of things installed beforehand (GCC amoung other things)
The problem is that when I did this previously with Virtualbox, I was able to install the pre-requisites with yum. Now this won't work as I have no network. I can't use VirtualBox here at work as we have everything else running under Hyper-V so have no choice but to go this way (VB and HV can't live together on the same host). it's just so much harder to go through this installation with Hyper-V.

I have followed the posted instructions on the "restricted formats" as specified in the stickie on the forum.
When I insert an audio CD, I can see the mp3/ folder in KDE with the tracks on the CD, but whenever I try to copy one of the mp3 files from the folder I get a VERY wide error messagebox stating that lame threw an error.
[When I use the command line tool "ripit" - the mp3s are generated without problems, so I assume all my encoders are working.]
Copying an ogg file with the KDE audiocd integration works fine, but unfortunately ogg is not supported on an iPod, and since ripping CDs through a VM with iTunes takes forever and a day, I want to rip the mp3 files and then copy to the VM so I can use iTunes to sync them to the iPod (sigh).
And yes, I would prefer to use Amarok to sync to the iPod directly but I made the mistake of buying an iPod recently and I've found that the 5/6th gens don't work (and probably never will) due to the hash encryption.
