View 1 RepliesIm trying to install net-vi_2.2.1.tar.gz its my understanding that i need to navigate the Unix terminal directory to the either the tar.gz archive or extract the file to a folder and use that as the command directory for the terminal so my first question is how do i use that folder with the terminal? what command do i use?
After that i use the readme or install text file for the rest of the commands i need but im not sure cause ive never installed from tar.gz before
How to install a .tar.gz file ?

I brought a computer online which is operated by Ubuntu and I know nothing about it. I had an HP printer that I couldn't get to function. I was told that HP didn't have drivers (or something like that) for Linux Ubuntu. I just brought a Lexmark which showed on the box was okay for Linux but when I load the installation disc I can't figure how to get to the "Welcome" screne and follow it through the installation. I do not kow computer terms (a newbie) and will need to be taken step-by-step through the process, if it's even possible.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm very new to working with the terminal on my macbook pro and am trying to understand how to navigate into certain directories with it. I can't seem to get out of my username directory. I'm trying to access MAMP/htdocs and get those files into my git repository. I'm new to all of this. I am typing and getting this:
David-Adamss-MacBook-Pro:~ davidadams$ cd Applications/MAMP/htdocs/barcodes
-bash: cd: Applications/MAMP/htdocs/barcodes: No such file or directory
I need to get the "davidadams$" out of that line but I don't know how to navigate out of it.
I ask your help to diagnose a problem. For business reasons I use a broadband internet connection via a mobile phone's connected via bluetooth [rfcomm]. Speed is not the maximum but it is more than sufficient for my work. For configuration of ppp I followed this guide Pon pulls up dialup, but I can't navigate also if resolv.conf and default route are correct. In addition I would like to use the NetworkManager that by default, does not see the device. I worked around the problem this way:
I modified the / etc / rc.local so that launch at boot time: # Rfcomm bind yes
After starting Lucid Lynx, bluetooth connects to the phone but NetworkManager does not see the modem.
When I run the connection manually, by: # Pon BluetoothDialup
NetworkManager sees the device, but can not use it because obviously it is locked by the ppp daemon.
So I close the connection with: # poff
Now NetworkManager sees the broadband modem via / dev/rfcomm0, dialup is performed properly. I can finally surf and just enable vpn with NetworkManager. all start automatically at boot, without the need to manually connect and disconnects the dialup to use, finally, the NetworkManager.

So the key keyboard shortcut is:
CTRL+ALT+TAB
With it you change the focus from the desktop to the panel, and vice versa When the focus in in the panel you can move from icon to icon with TAB (to the right) or SHIFT+TAB (to the left). Then Enter key (sometimes F10 instead) makes the same as left-clicking with the mouse, and SHIFT+F10 makes the same as right-clicking with the mouse. ESC key (sometimes Enter instead) takes the menus out.
There is something about this in: [URL]...

Is there an equivalent of Linux's cd - (change to previous directory) in Windows?
I'm trying to run a CD, which worked fine on Windows, on Ubuntu. I have wine installed, and even tried to execute the file that the instructions said to execute(Setup.exe) if the auto run feature doesn't work, but Ubuntu wouldn't let me. So I tried to make it executable, but I couldn't because it is on a read only CD. I don't know how to access the CD drive from the terminal, so that might work.

What folder[?] do I search to read for a USB drive (or any hard drive such as a partition) through the terminal?If you are asking why, I need to change the permission of this one folder. It was private, setting was 700 in UNIX I would like chmod to 755.You see, I'm browsing my laptop's hard drive that's mounted on a docking bay SATA to USB and I can't seem to browse one of my user's and I recall the permission setting was 700.nope, using the "Property -> Permission" method did not work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a eeepc netbook with 4 gig internal flash storage, no hard drive.I broke the GUI. The ONLY way I can access it now is through a terminal.It has barely enough space to get the ubuntu .iso image over to it.I have tried upwards of 10 times with 2 or 3 different distros to make a bootable usb drive with my macintosh. The process appears to complete without errors but the usb sticks are 100% unbootable every time (i.e. the netbook refuses to boot from them, as does my mac).
I get the SAME result using the SAME usb stick that I originally used to install ubuntu on the netbook, so I know it did work once. Regardless, I would like to try as a last hope to start from scratch making the bootable usb stick from my actual netbook.I do NOT have access to a GUI (see above).direct me to instructions to make a bootable usb drive from ubuntu 8.something?
If I click right-click on a drive in nautlius and do 'safely remove drive', the external hard-drive stops spinning.
What is the terminal equivalent? If I do 'pumount' it is unmounted, but the hard-drive continues spinning.
I'm on Natty, and I want to know if it is possible to safely remove, or eject usb flash drives via Terminal?
