Ubuntu :: Kindle 3 With Azw Usb?
Jul 11, 2011
i have some compatibility questions/concerns about switching my os. on my current windows 7 os, i transfer purchases to my pc kindle, then, once on my pc kindle account, i go to the manage my kindle account and transfer to my windows 7 by dl an azw file which i then transfer to my kindle. (i don't have a wireless card/router so i have to transfer via usb i also like this because i don't get charged?) what is whisper net? i know its not a free service?
what i want to be able to do is, (i heard calibre can access my amazon account directly from the interface but not sure if that's really true or if only true on 7 and not ubuntu) if it is true, can i still buy free/paid books for my kindle3, transfer them to calibre/or kindle pc thru wine, "manage my account" on calibre/kindle wine then dl the azw file, transfer the azw to my home folder on ubuntu, then copy/paste to my kindle3 folder on my kindle?

Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
I had it working. After it installed, it ran and everything worked. After I closed it, I can find no way to start it again. I can not find any kindle application, anywhere.
I can not fine anything about kindle anywhere in my /home/walter/.wine directory.
Application->Wine->Programs shows me nothing.
Another problem, Amazon downloads books into /root/My Kindle Content. The only way for me to read my kindle books is chmod my /root directory, which I don't like doing.
Is there any way to remove the DRM, so I can use Calibre to view the book in an epub format? Instead of having to fight with this evil amazon format?

How to read kindle books on Ubuntu 9.10? I googled and tried the wine with Kindle for PC and that didn't work. Mebbe I did somethig wrong. Anway, I have a very nice EEE that I love having Ubuntu on it and am desperately trying to avoid the Windows OS, but the Kindle app. is most important. Wonder if Amazon or open source software solutions are in sight?

I have a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.10. I connected my Amazon Kindle to an USB interface in XP and in Ubuntu. From XP everything works with no flaw. In Ubuntu the data exchange is perfect, but the device does not charge.

I searched through this forum and the Wine DB before trying, but found so little real data that I decided to just try it. I got this far and would appreciate someone with more expertise looking at the result and what to try next.

I do a bit of programming and tinkering with Linux so I have to refer to documentation a lot. As a result my eyes do get sore when reading through documentation on PC. Another problem is when tinkering and something goes wrong, either with Ubuntu crashing or loss of internet connection, I can't get access to the relevant document to fix it. Because of these, I was thinking of getting an e-reader, in particular, an Amazon Kindle as it is the only one I've seen sold locally as I don't like buying electronic goods online as it is a hassle with shipping if anything goes wrong.
I would like some advice. Is the Kindle worth having to view documentation and tutorials? Is it easy to reference relevant material through it's search facilities? Most important of all, can it connect to (Ubuntu) Linux through a usb port?

I've been searching for Kindle applications for Linux and I can only find one that relies on Wine (which I absolutely hate). Does anybody know whether there's any application out there that allows to view kindle formats without relying on Wine?

I hope we'll understand well. So - i'm offering to earn few dollars for few hours of Your time doing something quite interesting. From long time all my activities connected with computers are painful because me eyes are becoming tired very fast, which cause headache and generally make work impossible.
Cure for my problems is e-ink, im in possesion of Amazon kindle 3 now and it's beyond awesome for me. I've checked a lot of sites and keywords about ' e-ink monitor ', or desktop display, or using e-ink reader as computer display - and at this moment there isn't single device od market with such a function, but a lot of prototypes.
I've found also, that almost all e-ink readers are functioning on linux. My knowledge about linux is less than none, but some people written, that it should be possible to somehow make kindle a display for pc by making some linux operations on both
devices. What i'm asking You is not:- informing me about disadvantages of e-ink display, framerates, movies, speed and any other things, i don't care about any of those at all
- informing me about some crap imitations of e-ink like pixel qi, anything which isn't exactly e-ink is in my book worth nothing in terms of comfortable work with text.What i'm really asking is someone that will seriously try to make amazon kindle a monitor/display for netbook/notebook/pc. I'm really not geek at all, so i will not understand any of details, i'm asking someone to do it - and write precise, step by step guide for me which will tell me what i should do to use my kindle as computer display.
It may need change of OS, it may cause lose of data, it doesn't matters - what i need is fully operational internet browser with mouse and keyboard - on e-ink. So kindle attached to any kind of pc/netbook as display will be great. If task need some changes with hardware, or inside device - i can buy the one that You will modify from You after i will see pictures as proof that it works. If someone will help me - i will pay. It's quite hard for me to somehow ' prove it here ' - but i just will, we will work out Your fee and other details.

I'm new to Linux, so I decided to try using Wubi to get started. THe problem is, when it finished installing 10.04, I got this message: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\ubuntu\install\ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso' Is there any way around this? It might just be that overly restrictive thing called Vista (which I have the bad luck to be using). I was considering getting a USB drive for Ubuntu anyway..

What is the difference between the Ubuntu Installer for windows and the Ubuntu CD image? If I use the ubuntu installer for windows, does it have the capability to partition my drive, will it enable to share files with windows etc or is it just a way not to have to burn a CD. Just curious, the exact details of the installation files were not made clear on the website. Note: Windows Version: XP, 32bit, SP3. I have not partitioned anything yet.

I have windows 7 installed on Disk2 (according to windows Disk Manager), and I installed ubuntu 10.10 on Disk0, choosing the dual boot option at installation.
However, grub does not load (presumably because its on disk0 and my machine appears to boot from disk3), so the machine goes straight into windows 7.
How do I get ubuntu to load?

I'm currently running off of my live-cd, and after spending 4 hours of my life trying to fix this myself, i figured someone out here has to know how to help me. Basically, i wanted to try linux, then liked it enough to decide to put on one of my usb-drives (320g adata nobility NH92), and i couldn't get it to boot anything but windows w/o the live-cd, which would then boot the live-cd, lol, in other words, i couldn't get it to boot at all from the external, even though i had changed the setting in my bios to boot from usb first, and tried manually selecting boot from usb and all that fun stuff.
Sooo... eventually i decided it might be a problem with the bootloader, and while i'm not exactly sure at this point what i have done to my computer, all i can successfully boot is the live cd. When I try to boot w/o the live cd, whether i try to boot from my internal (windows) drive, or external, all i get is a device not found error.I think i could fix it if i had windows recovery cd's (i'm running xp, btw), or installation cds, but... unfortunately, they died in a terrible accident. So i have no cd's at all for windows. :/

I have been running Ubuntu 10.04 under Windows 7 (Is this call WUBI?) without any problems for a while. My other machines only run Ubuntu (9.04 & 10.04). I decided to give it a try to the latest Ubuntu 10.10. After going through the successful installation and then rebooting, I am getting the following error message once I select 'Ubuntu' in the boot up menu right after the BIOS screen: Booting ' Ubuntu 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-25-generic'

I'm wondering if this is even possible. I've searched high and low and have yet to find and answer to this particular setup.
The setup:
Router is in another building.
Desktop connected by WiFi
Laptop connected by WiFi
Both the Desktop and the Laptop are in the same building together. About 5' apart.
SSH server is setup on Desktop
FreeNX client is setup on Laptop
So they can connect just fine via WiFi for remote desktop control of the Desktop from the Laptop (so SSH and FreeNX are working).Is it possible to connect the 2 pc's directly to each other by Ethernet cable AND transfer files between them by Ethernet while still being connected to the Internet by WiFi on them both?Or would the WiFi have to be disabled while using the Ethernet connection?Neither has a Gigabit Ethernet NIC so I know it would at least require a crossover cable or another router to connect the 2 by Ethernet cable.The idea behind all this is to be able to transfer files between computers quickly by Ethernet while the computers are still busy doing other things on the Internet by WiFi.

1. I accidentally wrecked a previous Ubuntu installation so I decided to re-install via the Ubuntu disk. Unfortunately Ubuntu doesn't let me override previous Ubuntu installations...
2. Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat is due to released in about 3 weeks. I want to install it via a clean install.
3. So can anyone tell me how to remove both Ubuntu partitions safely. I am currently running WinVista with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. I know I have to use something like this to erase GRUB2. Can anyone give me a good tutorial?

The scenario is as follows - I will be moving across the country and my desktop will stay here powered and online, while I move with a laptop. I need a way to connect to the desktop for file streaming(music and movies) as well as using the virtual machines. I have thought about SSH and VNC.I need something failsafe. That's priority one. I won't be around to fix it if it breaks. I can set the computer to come on in the BIOS at a certain time if the power went out. But if I can get in remotely the whole setup is useless.SSH only provides terminal use, correct? So if I chose that route I would be able to access the computer via command line and play music and movies with mplayer and such, correct? But I would not be able to run the virtual machines? Because there will be no GUI, right?
I have been playing with Vinagre and Vino through the host and guest of a virtual machine and I cannot get it to connect. Is there a better application? x11vnc? I have forwarded port 5900 on the router and have upnp enabled. Got a better remote desktop suggestion?I would like to run this setup headless.(no monitor) I also would like to run it without a gpu if that is possible to make it more energy efficient.Both computers are 64 bits and will be running Ubuntu 10.10 and soon 11.04.Are these crappy ideas to begin with? Should I go another route to get my files and access the virtual machines?

After a reinstall of 10.10, I am able to turn on file sharing and so I set up a shared folder.
Windows Vista can see this folder but in my network place, there is only one icon, and it's a "Windows Network" icon. Upon clicking on that, I can see the local network, "Rompus Room".
When I click on Rompus Room, nothing happens for a while, then I get a message saying, "Opening "ROMPUS ROOM". Then I get the final message, "Unable to mount location", followed by, "Failed to retieve share list from server"

I was running 9.10 in LiveCD mode and was unable to get online. Went to System>Administration>Hardware Drives and found "Broadcom STA wireless driver". Cool. So I went ahead and installed 9.10 (dual boot with Vista), repeated above steps but found no "Broadcom STA wireless driver" option, in fact no proprietary drivers. So I still cannot connect to the Internet, and I don't know where to go from here. (Note: I installed 9.10 side by side with Vista: good? bad?)

I'm about to install Ubuntu on two 250-gigabyte hard drives in a RAID 1 array, but I'm confused about how to partition my hard drives. How much space should I give to each partition? How many partitions should I create and where should I mount them? (I should mention that Ubuntu will be the only OS on this array.)

I am trying to install Ubuntu server edition on an old HP XT963 that recently came into my possession. I mainly just wanted to use it as a home file server and print server. I have been running ubuntu desktop on my laptop for a little under a year, but this is my first go at the server edition.
While ubuntu was installing it said "network autoconfiguration failed," I hit continue, thinking I could figure out how to configure it later. After lots of googling I still haven't figured out what exactly is wrong.
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopack
after googling around I made it look like:
[Code]...
I would like to provide more information such as ifconfig and any other commands but I'm not exactly sure how I would do that without being able to copy/paste. I guess I would have the command dump the output to a file, but I'm not familiar with the -options this being my first time CLI-only.
