On an Asus EEE 900A with EEEbuntu Std 3 installed, and a 4GB SSDrive, trying to install some educational programs thru Add/Remove.
Is it possible to download the programs to a USB thumb drive, so there is no space used up in the already limited 4 GB SSD?
Tried to place a program on the Desktop, and then move it to a USB thumb drive, but it did not work.
can open the programs pe-install, but can't open other programs or install new programs

I am using version 10.10.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome 2.32.1
Like under Windows, there is a shortcut for minimizing all windows: Win+D. However under Gnome this does not work similar as under Windows. Under Windows I can just press Win+D and everything will get minimized. However under Gnome this does not work for fullscreen programs.
I have to close a fullscreen application and start it again if I just want to switch to another program like for example from a game to my browser. I don't want to close it but only minimize it.
you can see below my taskbar Imageshack - snapshot1dj.png I would like to make the different programs running and shown at taskabar firefox,Fslint, Thunderbird to have some borders around them,
This will make them appear more clear to me.
I've been working with Macs nowadays and noticed that programs load like "instantly" once it has been open and closed.
I don't know if MAC is pre-fetching them to somewhere but it is good to start Firefox right after you closed it.
what MAC actually does and how this could be implemented ? I have 6gb of ram on my laptop. Running Kubuntu 10.04 RC1.
I am curious of how to make a GUI interface that uses multiple programs and commands. I have found wxwidgets as the most likely candidate for making my own interface.Is this the best programming language for a beginner?
View 3 Replies View RelatedNormally when a program is open an entry is placed on the taskbar in order to easily find it, which is useful when a lot of programs are open. In Ubuntu 10.04, when I moved a program to the other monitor (I'm using 2 monitors) the taskbar entry also moves to the taskbar on that monitor.
Now I switched over to Ultimate Edition, which is Ubuntu 10.04 with a lot of stuff added to it. When I drag a program to the other monitor, the entry in the taskbar disappears, but it does not reappear in the taskbar of the other monitor. So now the only way for me to find a program on this monitor if its hidden behind other windows is to use alt-tab.
Actually I had a folder called Lib, in which I had a few libraries installed and configured.(MPI, PETSc, SLEPc) I accidently deleted (by rm) the contents of that folder.
Then I reinstalled MPI,PETSC,SLEPC using the same tarballs as earlier(thus, the version etc. is the same).
I already had a fortran program with many modules and subroutine files, and the corresponding makefile which used to compile and run fine. But now when I type "make" in the same directory as before, I get this: (shortened, many similar errors)
Code:
Firstly, why is mpif90 compiling my program when I didnt tell it to? In my makefile, I have specified gfortran as my compiler....nowhere have I even mentioned mpif90. Such a thing never used to occur before.
Also, if I rename file_variable.f to file_variable.f90, these errors dissappear (I understand why, but that is not the problem), but a new error comes:
Why is the new MPI installation interfering with make ? I want to go back to how things were before I stupidly broke all installations. The errors themselves are not the problem, the problem is why the new mpi installation is interfering with make.
It seems as if mpif90 has taken over make and gfortran. I suppose I didnt install it correctly, or probably I didnt uninstall the earlier one correctly.
Everything that worked earlier doesnt work suddenly. I use ubuntu 11.04 MPICH2-1.3.2

I'm brand-spanking new to Ubuntu and so far am greatly enjoying this magnificent OS. Though, after attempting to install Wine, I now this error when trying to install any program: 'E:Type 'main' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-lucid.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'
Here is the source list where I'm assuming the error is coming from:

I started using Ubuntu a few days ago due to a classmates recommendation, and I simply cannot get this program I need for class to install. Or if it does, I don't know how to make it work.
I've got to install VMWare Server 2.0 for my class so we can make virtual computers and what not. But, no matter what I do I can't get it to install. Whenever I try to install it like I was told on various websites (here's one for examples sake [URL], I do this: sudo ./vmware-install.pl and get this: Can't install perl script "./vmware-install.pl" : No such file or directory
I've tried putting in stuff like home/computername/Desktop/vmware-install.pl, but I still get the same problem. I've racked my brain and my browser trying to figure this out, but I've had no luck.
i want to know how i can install programs in ubuntu 10.10.i try to open ubuntu software center then search about the program i want then press on install button but after that i can't know how i can find this program or how i can get it ?

Right now, I just made a folder in my /home/ directory and extracted there. It works, but I want to know if that's the "right" way to do things.I've read the explanations of linux file system folders, but this is my first practical application of that stuff, and I'm confused.Am I supposed to put it in /usr/ or /opt/ or something?

View 3 Replies View Relatedinstalling programs on ubuntu, you see i run ubuntu on my old time computer from around late 90's early 2000 and the internet port on the back is for old telephone lines but i no longer have these wires. So I decided to download the packages on my newer acer laptop, put them on a usb and plug it in, but i have found out that .tar.gz is nothing like the windows executable .exe and scince i'm quite new to linux i have no where to start.
P.S i have already tried installing in terminal but failed miserably...
so i just did a fresh install of lucid last night. it went relatively well, but there's a few minor issues.. one of them being that i can't install certain software from ubuntu software center because it tells me that the program isn't offered for amd64.
for example, when i try to install skype, it tells me
Quote:
Sorry, 'skype' is not available for this type of computer (amd64).
i even downloaded the 64 bit skype from the website, but when it doesn't want to install that either and just leaves me with a broken package.
the thing is, these programs that won't install with lucid worked perfectly with karmic.. so i guess it has something to do with lucid..
I don't know how to install programs from the net on here >.< this is driving me up the wall. Just about any program I download doesnt have an install option.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed WINE to get some old games to work on my Ubuntu box. (Return to Castle Wolfenstein)I tried downloading some demos and it says BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX and to read the executable bit. I did, and it says it will NOT install any programs downloaded from the internet. I thought 'fine, I guess they have to be retail games' so I popped the disk in and it tells me the same thing. Any exe program I EVER try to install from anywhere is just BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX. Why is this happening?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to ubuntu and linux in general but have bee experimenting for a little while. As part of that experimentation I ended up with a set of fedora 11 install cd's except for disc 4 which had a faulty image.The fedora cd's have some programs that may be handy in setting up a server. This prompts my thoughts to turn to getting the programs off the fedora cd's and installing them on ubuntu.Both are a gnome desktop environment, and there are a whole heap of files with names that look to me like files for part of a serious installation.
is it possible to use the ubuntu installer program to look at these and then install only some which I can't do if I just look at the filenames.
