Ubuntu :: Difference Between 10.04 NBE And Easy Peasy?
Apr 26, 2010
I'm using NBE on 10.04RC, I've just seen Easy Peasy 1.6 on Distro Watch so ran the live CD out of curiosity. Apart from Gimp I cannot see any difference between Ubuntu 10.04 NBE and Easy Peasy, have I missed something? Menu etc looks the same.. don't look at menu on their website as that's the one based on 9.04 [URL]
This is part of the release note:"Features: new boot system and new boot artwork (uses Plymouth); sports full removal of the HAL package, making EasyPeasy faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend; brand-new interface; built-in integration with Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook and other social networks with the MeMenu in the panel; the likewise-open package, which provides Active Directory authentication and server support for Linux, has been updated to version 5.4; new default open-source driver for NVIDIA hardware; improved support for NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers".
I am running Easy Peasy 9.04 on an EeePC 901. I am trying to run Wine in order to install a wireless client for my university- they blocked Linux from ALL wireless because they have no one to support Linux (I.E only a windows client, no iPod or iPhone support, as they used to have). I want Wine to get me on the network while being able to work using Easy Peasy.
1. Will Wine allow me to use the wireless network in this way? When I try to install Wine, using the WineHQ guide [URL]...I have tried to "trust the repository", install Wine with sudo apt-get update and all other instructions. I just keep getting:
W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
I'm running easy peasy 1.6 on my laptop, Loving it, Only problem is there is no bottom panel and i can't handle everything bunched up the top panel. How do i add a bottom panel, Is there a terminal command that will put one at the bottom or something?
I successfully edited the .bashrc file to get ruby version manager (rvm) working. Now I would like to turn that setting into an alias so that if i type the word 'ruby' into the terminal it not only goes to the rvm settup but also defaults to my webdev folder which is in my user home directory and also exicutes a command that will open up gedit ready to be used as the text editor for editing the .rb files. Can this be done i would settle for some added code for the 'if then' statement: so far it looks like this:
[Code]...
I don't want to mess with the default setup on this system too much and think things could get out of hand if i am not careful. So am cautious about doing anything at this stage. I wonder if it is possibel thought to setup that whole 'if then' statement as an 'alias'. I read a few referances to alias and looked in the manual like any good newby should but am needing your help please. getting out of the MSwindows mind set and into the linux logic is not so easy but is a great experience
I'm using an EEEpc 1000HE with Easy Peasy (Intrepid) that a friend installed for me (no Windows). Since as far as I understand the Intrepid servers are down, I want to update to UNR. I have never installed Linux before and don't really know anyone who can actually show me how. This is the computer I use for my studies and it is extremely important that my files will stay on through the upgrade (I have a separate partition where my important files are saved).
To boot into Ubuntu 8.10, I have to boot with noapic. Is there an easy way to always boot with this command. And don't worry, I have fair bit of computer know how, just moving from windows to ubuntu.
I have a packardbell pc desk top and the fan has stopped working. Is it an easy enough fix for me to do it myself it install a new fan? I dont have much experance so dont want to do any damage.
I've never quite understood why they won't like Firefox just update on it's own. Instead it appears all of the FF updates always have to come through the update manager. 3.6.4 has been out since Tuesday and while I can go to the FF website and grab the tar of the new version I'd rather you know just upgrade my existing version like I've already easily done in Windows.
Seriously if this was a security flaw update and we had to wait this long you'd think people would be up in arms. Luckly 3.6.4 is mainly just extra functionality.
Still am I just left at the mercy of whenever it appears in the update stream or is there an easy way to update what I already have installed verses having two versions of FF?
I just threw away 2.6.27 from my ubuntu10.10 installation because I thought I installed 2.6.28 apparently, I was mistaken and I threw away my one and only installed kernel.Is there an easy way to install the kernel? I'm not a super genious with that low level stuff, so if it's too hard I'll probably be easier off just reinstalling 10.10.
I want to practice restoring the grub, before any emergency occurs
I plan to use the following thread: Grub/XP/Vista Bootloader - Ubuntu Forums
I would be grateful if someone could tell me an easy way to damage the grub. For example, re-installing XP always damages the grub, but I'm sure there are quicker ways to do the same thing .
I am finally running Ubuntu and Windows (and also Puppy Linux).I just switch to Linux from windows by accident. I got a new computer with a wizard to install Vista -which I do not have, I tried to install XP and the computer would NOT budge. All the instructions I got from a friend who actually works with computers would not work.I installed Ubuntu 9.10 without any problem and the computer worked immediately. Needless to say, right away I discovered the simplicity versatility and comprehensiveness of Linux and Ubuntu is now my main OS.
However, I had so much invested in Windows that I wanted to explore the option of running a dual boot for the occasional trip to Windows. The forums provide a lot of help, unfortunately I am not familiar with commands and could not complete the instructions provided.I had installed Ubuntu in its own partition and Puppy Linux in a logical drive in an extended partition. Every time I installed Windows, Ubuntu would fail and vice-versa. Interestingly, Puppy Linux would work normally every time. Sorry about all this convoluted introduction, I'll get to the point.I figure that the installation of Windows disabled only one other OS. So I made two 5GB partitions and installed Ubuntu in each (Ubuntu2 and Ubuntu). Then I installed Windows and Hurra! I had Ubuntu, Windows and Puppy Linux working. Ubuntu2 would not appear, but I did not care. I deleted the partition and extended Ubuntu's partition to 10GB.
I'm using the latest version of EasyBCD (as of now) to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows 7. I added an entry "Ubuntu 10.04" to the boot menu, selecting Grub as the type.However when I choose Ubuntu upon startup I get this.Upon hitting any key I get this.Wanted to mess around with Grub and mbr, but I'm afraid I'll screw my hard drives up
I am using the Desktop Version of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, but I am posting here because I think all of you server guru's can help me. I am setting up my desktop as a mobile development server. I am hoping to eventually have it work with an intranet. Anyways I am trying to configure this and I hit a snag.
I have a 403 forbidden error. I've read around and I thought it might have something to do with SELinux
I've reinsalled ubuntu 10.04 no less than 5 times, each time taking hours to get all my configuration right, basically I like to mess to the point of screwing it up. Anyway just wondering if there was a way or program that remembers all of your preferences, files, games, apps, EVERYTHING! so you only have to load the file and it will do everything for you. Would save lot of time!
What is the easy way to make ubuntu as a web and ftp server? So far i only use ubuntu as development server(LAMP in ubuntu 10.04) Now, i want try to host the server in my office rather then at service provider company.
Maybe there _is_ no easy way, but I have a home-made video in Standard Definition on a DVD that I'd like to do some simple editing of and reburn. Just trying to take out some dead air-time.
I looked through this forum lightly, but maybe don't know what I'm looking for.
Is there any not-too-sophisticated tool or set of tools that will let me do this on Ubuntu?
I have an Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner.It works as you would expect in XP.In Ubuntu, using the flatbed, not the transparency scan, real whites (white paper backgrounds) come out noticeably blue.This is annoying anyway & especially when printing afterwards.Note that even the scanner white background (left) is blue.The dark blue (right) is where the paper pulls away from the glass when it overlaps the scan area.Many of the other applications have several colour-correction tools, but I didn't find any simple way of using them to fix my problem.
Is this a common problem?Is there any way I can dial it out, once & for all?Or an easy way of using the controls in iscan or AcquireImages?
I read books using a PDF reader and I'd like to be able to easily look words up that I don't know. I see that the ipad has an easy to use dictionary built in and that's the type of thing I'm looking for. Perhaps being able to right click a word and select "look up in dictionary".
Firefox Stable PPA provides the latest Firefox stable builds for Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10. This repository that provides the latest Firefox 4.0 stable.
Add the PPA using these commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable sudo apt-get update
Then if you have Firefox installed, you will get an update for the latest Firefox 4, the package name isn't named "firefox-4.0" like it is now in the Mozilla Daily PPA but simply "firefox", so it is simply a case of updating. I have done this and it works perfectly.
I am thinking of making a website, but I decided, "hey, can't I just make and host the website myself without spending any money??" I am just wondering, is this possible? Is there an easy way to have your own website and get it online for free by hosting it on your own computer dedicated to it? It would save me money.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I would like to specify that the computer get's put to sleep, after being inactive for 4 hours. The choices on the drop down are 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and never.Is there an easy way to modify or add additional choices to the list? This would allow me to easily switch between them, if necessary.If not, what would I need to modify behind the scenes, to set this value to 4 hours?
I've been trying without success for the past couple of weeks to setup a filtering system for my little sister's netbook. The main problem I've been running into is inconsistency. First, I tried using dyndns per the instructions here: [URL] The problem with this is the DNS settings (and in turn the filtering settings) dont appear to 'stick' once the Netbook touches a different network. So if I sign onto a different wireless network than the one I used to set up the filtering, it stops working. The reason why is Ubuntu will overwrite the current DNS settings with those of the new network (I have no idea why, and am too frustrated to figure out).
Also, I noticed that even if the settings did stick, they're fairly easy to disable because all she has to do is stumble across the DNS settings, change them back and voila. I've had great success with OpenDNS on Windows boxes, but there doesn't seem a to be a feasible way to apply it to Ubuntu. Dansguardian looks like it may be worth a shot, but I've seen dozens of "simple" configuration guides, none of which that actually looked simple. So my question is this, what is the easiest, most bulletproof way to setup web filtering 10.4? Preferably something that a 12 year-old could easier find her way around.
Is there any easy way to do offline package upgrades in Ubuntu? I was using debian's repository for the longest time to get individual packages, then found launchpad. Is there a script or something that will tell you what the dependencies are then let you copy them to a thumbdrive or something?
I know online upgrades are great but there are some cases where online isn't an option. Here's an example. Getting wine. There used to be this repository of .debs from the wine website, but now I can't find it. Launchpad has it, but it's all individual files.
I record my University lectures on a sound recording device. Unfortunately it means I'm often left with sections of sound I'd like to edit out. Is there a very easy to use program where I can do this?
Is there an easy to use log reader, without needing to be root. My typing is goofy and doing su and vi to read a log is getting old. Using 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64
I want to edit an .ini file for Qmc2.I find qmc2.ini with the browse folder option.I open it with Gedit and make my changes (rom path)but then I cannot save the file. Obviously I can use terminal, something like "su - Gedit /etc/qmc2/qmc2.ini"but what if I don't want to? Can I just use the GUI with su privilages?
