How do you solve the problem of installation in Ubuntu 7.04i get this msg could not open the package might be corrupted or you are not allowed you have problem with synaptic too please help by the way?

Not sure what is it that you are asking about. Your question is very vague. If you have an issue with installing an application via synaptic, or using apt-get install, go to a terminal and type in the following

sudo apt-get install -f

see if that may resolved a broken cache.

If that doesn't do it, open Synaptic, and under EDIT select FIX BROKEN PACKAGES.

How do you install ubuntu 9.10 using wubi with already installed Windows Vista?

It depends on what you are trying to do. If you install anything over Windows 7 that is not a windows based system you may lose some application functionality if the other system does not have an equivalent. The same could be said if installing Ubuntu, since it may have functionality that is not present in Windows 7.

Why the amplitude doesn't depend on frequency and time period?

The amplitude of a wave is determined by the energy of the wave, which is not affected by the frequency or time period. The frequency and time period of a wave only determine how many cycles occur in a given time frame, not the strength of each individual cycle. Therefore, the amplitude remains constant regardless of the frequency or time period.

What can you use to extract a 4gb rar file in a FAT32 file system?

You can't. a FAT 32 file system does not support files larger than 4GB in size. You will have to convert the file system to NTFS in order to unarchive it there.

How do you install World of Warcraft on Ubuntu?

From http://forums.wow-Europe.com/thread.HTML?topicId=9163977331&Sid=1, post #5...

IN answer to your question:

World of Warcraft installs to: "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft"

The Burnign Crusade installs to: "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft"

Wrath of the Lich King moves the WoW folder and installs to: "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft"

It apparently advises you to do this to prevent problems with patching.

So in short, just install everything to its default place - the Wotlk installer will move folders where it needs to when you get to that point.

I'm in the middle of installing WOW from scratch on Windows 7 RTM as I write this. The only Issue I had was, when installing vanilla WoW, it create a C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft, but then couldn't write into it. When I opened Windows Explorer and right-clicked on the folder, and selected Properties, the 'Read Only' checkbox was checked. I made it read/write, then re-ran the installer, and so far, vanilla WoW is installed, Burning Crussade installed, and Wrath of the Lich King is installing.

As the post that I quoted above states, the Wrath of the Lich King installer will ask to move WoW from C:\Program Files, and I let it.

Oh, and I'm installing this all under an Administrator account.

You install it like you would any other game on a previous operating system... There is a nice FAQ on how to do this, you can find it on http://www.hiddenstuff.com/

Hope this helps!

First, this person who entered the answer above just wanted to drive people to his site because www.hiddenstuff.com has nothing about installing World of Warcraft on it. The word "install" is not on the page.

Second, the answer above is wrong in that Vista/Windows 7 is not like other Windows operating systems because unlike previous versions of Windows, you do not have access to the Program Files folder except as Administrator. It is being treated like a restricted operating system folder. That makes installing and updates difficult since World of Warcraft installs there, but then won't let any files be updated when doing updates.

Again, unlike what the first poster said, it isn't like installing on any previous operating system. It is actually a mixture of two operating systems. Windows Vista and Windows 7, the operating system I am using now, have made changes to be more like Linux. The way they have become more like Linux is that they have a Users folder. In Linux there is a "usr" directory, which is for user-related binaries. This is not where users have their home directory, unless there is a sub-directory /usr/home. Typically, administrators will create a /home directory where users' files are stored.

In Windows 7 and Windows Vista, you have a folder that acts as your home folder and that is located in the Users folder and it is your user name, so mine would be c:\Users\Raiderwolf. So Microsoft changed their file structure to better isolate the operating system files and the operational files of the programs. (again to make WIndows more Linux-like) But to sum it up, for you to be able to install World of Warcraft and receive updates, I would recommend creating a "Games" folder in your user folder and install World of Warcraft there and then you can set permissions on that folder however you like to secure it. Or if you will have more than one person playing on that computer, you could create a new Program Files folder in the Users folder and install it there.

How do you get ubuntu software?

If you're asking how to get the actual Ubuntu software, you can find it here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download. This will install the whole operating system which includes the Gnome desktop environment, the Firefox web browser, the OpenOffice.org office suite, The GIMP for processing images, and a whole lot of other free software.

It's more likely, though, that you're already using Ubuntu and you want to know how to get more software for it. The best place to start is by clicking on Applications > Add/Remove... Once the window opens, you'll probably want to show "All Available Applications." From here, you only have to check the box next to the program, then choose Apply, and the software will be installed.

If you can't find what you want here, you should try searching the internet for software. Make sure you look for .deb files, as these have already been packaged to install in Ubuntu (kind of like .exe in Windows). A great place to start looking for deb files is at www.getdeb.net. Quite a few projects are hosted on Launchpad, so that's another good place to look. Good luck!

Two methods I recommend is to use the Ubuntu Software Centre, or the Synaptic Manager. I usually use either one on my computer running Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin". Such managers ensure that software is installed or uninstalled correctly.

Can you install bandoo for ubuntu?

Bandoo is not compatible with linux, and therefore Ubuntu, and is not likely to be for the near-future.

How do you format a hard drive with ubuntu?

The question is slightly ambiguous.

A hard drive is a physical device which reads and writes blocks of data. The drive itself can not be a Linux hard drive, or a Windows hard drive, it simply deals in blocks.

The file system on the hard drive however can be created by several operating systems; Linux, Windows, Mac OSX as well as many others. The file systems are mostly incompatible between operating systems.

For example.

Windows can read and write NTFS but in general not ext3fs.

Linux can read and write ext3fs but in general not NTFS.

Any drive formatted for one file system can be re-formatted to another file system by any operating system which supports the drive hardware. So to re-format a Linux (e.g. ext3fs) formatted drive, simply treat it as a blank drive and follow the Windows instructions for formatting a drive. It's important to note that when you re-format a drive, any data on it is overwritten and lost.

If you want to know how to format an ext3fs (Linux file system) on a drive while using Windows. The short answer is you can't. In general operating systems are unable to format drives for non native file systems. Even when drivers are available so it can be read and written to, it's generally still not possible to format the drive.

that is:

Windows cannot format a drive with a Linux file system (e.g. ext3)

Linux cannot format a drive with a Windows file system (e.g. ntfs)

If you simply want to share files between a Linux and Windows system though, there are some file systems which both operating systems can read and write to. FAT and FAT32 are the most commonly used examples. This file system is very old, limited and doesn't support most modern features but is compatible across many if not most operating systems.

What is Ubuntu boot loader?

What are the advantages of Fedora over Ubuntu?

Linux is an operating system kernel. By itself, it can do very little. It needs to be combined with an interface and applications in order to be useful. When you take the kernel and add the parts to create a working system, you create what is called a "Linux distrbution", or "distro." Fedora is an example of a Linux distro.

In summary, Linux is a kernel, and Fedora is a full operating system.
