Linux Ubuntu

Generally speaking, you do not need to install RPM packages in Ubuntu. These are designed for other types of Linux distributions that use a slightly different way of installing software. The programs necessary to install such a package are not found on an Ubuntu system. Most programs that could be found in an RPM package are also available either in a .deb package (which you can install on Ubuntu) or in Ubuntu's repository, where it can be installed via Synaptic.

If you absolutely need to, you can convert RPM packages by using a program called "alien." This converts the RPM package into its .deb equivalent. Note that this doesn't always work, and the installation could break your system in rare circumstances. To convert the RPM package and install the program, use the following commands:

sudo alien -k rpmpackage.rpm
sudo dpkg -i debpackage.deb

Install Vista first. During the installation of OpenSUSE, you will be prompted if you would like to partition the hard drive to make room for OpenSUSE, or format the drive entirely for OpenSUSE. Make a partition of at least 6 GB, plus a swap partition of 1 GB. The installer will automatically install a bootloader known as GRUB, which can boot Vista or OpenSUSE at your choosing.

Ubuntu is an operating system that can run on almost any computer. It is Linux based, and thus can be edited by many people. It is free to install and contains many free programs, so it is a great low-cost alternative to Windows.

Ubuntu is constantly being updated by dozens of people, so it is an operating system that fits the needs of many types of people.

Ubuntu is an African word meaning 'Humanity to others', or 'I am because we are'. The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. This is where the name for the OS came from as it was developed by a South African named Mark Shuttleworth.

Ubuntu is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more.

I don't know about individual windows, but you can kill a process with killall. Please be very careful with this command, because it can damage your system.

The ubuntu forums is a Linux based forum that is open to users and professional users alike. The forum was designed as a community to help each other with problems. Answers to issues are resolved from other people. There is a large amount of information given on the forums, but it is always best to check the information to ensure there are no errors.

All modern operating systems implement what is called "virtual memory", where unused parts of an application are swapped out and placed on the hard drive. Windows does this by creating a swapfile on bootup and then resizing it as needed. The problem with this is that resizing it constantly will cause the file system to become fragmented.

Linux typically uses a dedicated partition for swapping instead of a swapfile.While the partition is a fixed size and may take up more space than the Windows swapfile at any given moment, it helps prevent the file system from becoming fragmented and is usually faster.

Linux cannot by default run .exe files. Those are Windows programs. With an application library called "Wine", many (but certainly not all) Windows programs can be run. Check your distro's repository to see if they have a package of Wine for you to install.

By default it should be using the ext3 file system, but you have a choice of several, including ext2, reiserfs, etc.

Newer versions of Ubuntu tend to install as ext4 file systems, however if you've upgraded from an older version then you'll keep your original file system.

To say that Linux is completely free from viruses and malware is not entirely true. It is, however, much more resistant to it than Windows is. Root accounts, prompt patching of security holes, and a heterogeneous mixture of software make Linux a much more difficult target when developing malware. I would say that is never going to be necessary to run anti-virus software for Linux, I do not think they work very well in Windows and they certainly do not belong in Linux. Education is still the best way to prevent viruses. Never install software from sources you do not trust. Ubuntu and other distributions already verify that every package that is installed is signed by the correct provider. The best defense against viruses and other attacks is what it has always bee, keep your software up to date. Spyware, viruses and other malware have become an increasing problem on Microsoft Windows based systems and have caused many Windows users to switch over to using other operating systems. I am going to be focusing on GNU/Linux (hereafter referred to as Linux) because of its availability and the concepts and ideas about viruses in Linux apply to other Unix based operating systems such as Mac OS X. Historically, users of Linux have had virtually no issues with spyware, viruses or other malware. Many have thought it was just because they did not have a large enough market share to attract malware authors but the reality is that Linux is so fundamentally different from Windows that it is much more resistant to virus or spyware infections and other forms of malware. Security holes in Linux and Windows Security holes are not unheard of in Linux but they appear less often and are less severe than security holes in Windows. First let's compare the default web browser of most Linux distributions (Firefox) with the default web browser of Windows (Internet Explorer). Since we just want to know why Windows has more malware than Linux we will focus a single time period and see what security problems the two browsers had in that time period. Firefox 1.0 was release in November of 2004 and on May of 2005 version 1.0.4 was released. Each of the four minor revisions was to address security issues. In the same time frame Microsoft released 20 major patches to IE, most of which were rated "critical" (Livingston). These critical security problems meant that malware could be installed automatically on a Windows machine if the user just clicked on a link. A company by the name of Scanit did a study of the amount of time it took Microsoft to release a patch for a vulnerability once it became public. "The firm found that IE was wide open for a total of 200 days in 2004, or 54% of the year, to exploits that were "in the wild" on the Internet (Livingston)." That meant that any script kiddy could download some html, upload it to a website and every person that visited that site could be compromised 50% of the time, even if they had installed the latest Windows updates. Firefox had a few security problems of it own, even to the point where code could be executed remotely but in every case a patch was issued before the security problem was made public. The exploits were always written after the problem had been fixed. Everyone remembers the Sasser and Blaster worms that infected millions of Windows machines overnight using security vulnerabilities in the DCOM protocol which is hardly ever used by desktop computers and is enabled by default. Linux has about 10 total worms all of which were released weeks sometimes months after patches were issued for the security holes the worms used (Moen). Very few Linux machines were even vulnerable to the worms because most of them targeted the BIND name server which is only used by Internet servers. Actually, none of the worms would have been able to compromise a desktop system unless it was running some server software.

Since Ubuntu is installed as an ext4 file system (not NTFS as in Windows), there is no need to defragment anything.

Yes, there is a printer driver for the canon lbp-810 in Ubuntu OS. You can inquire how to order the driver via the instruction manual for the canon lob 810.

Ubuntu does not require ACPI to be present in order to work. If the kernel attempts to load an ACPI module, but finds that the computer does not support it, or is too old for it to work reliably, it will display a small banner across the top of the screen for a second, and continue booting.

To turn off the attempt to load ACPI, press F6 on the boot menu for the CD, and add

acpi=off

You may have to modify the GRUB menu after installation to make the change permanent. To modify the GRUB menu, open a terminal, and enter

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

The add the "acpi=off" to the kernel line of each entry.

ActiveSync was designed explicitly for Windows XP (it won't even work on Vista). While you can get parts of the interface working using Wine, you are completely unable to sync to devices, thus making it useless.

Ubuntu is a free and open-source desktop operating system. It is designed to allow you to allow you to do the things you would normally do with a desktop, but without vendor lock-in like you would have on Windows, or even Mac OS X.

According to Ubuntu's offical site the minimum system requirements are as listed below:

1. A 700 MHz processor

2. At least 512 MiB of RAM

3. 5 GB of hard-drive space or USB space depending on what you are installing to (In my expirence at least 16 GB is better if you plan to store your own files and programs on it)

4. VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution

5. Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media

6. The site recomends Internet access

I would be in your home directory in a hidden folder under what ever program you are using to check emails. If you are using thunderbird you go into your home folder and it CTRL+H so you can see hidden folders and click the one that says .tunderbird. If you are using evolution you can click the one that says .evolution

It brings up a variety of options, some for a new text document of some sort. There would also likely be a 'refresh' option for the desktop. Depending on the system in question, there may be other options available, such as 'graphic properties', etc.

Some possibilities include:

* Your sound card isn't supported by ALSA. Check the ALSA website to see if your card is supported. * Your volume is turned down. * Your speakers are not turned on * Your sound card has been disabled in the BIOS.

If you are on a managed system, a system on a network controlled by a management server using groups and security profiles, you cannot bypass administrative priveledges. If you are on your home system you may be able to give yourself administrative priveledges by reloading the system into safe mode and editing your user profile.

Best answer is that the registry is corrupted you can do the steps on this page if you can get it to work. Another way is to just download a default services reg file. It will definitely fix your problem, however you may have to reload some programs or reactivate some needed services. It will also speed up your computer processing. You can go to www.blackviper.com and check out the downloads section for your Windows build or go to Windows Support website and check their downloads section for a similar file. This will save you time and headache of trying to get the program (or whole system in my case) to work with no result.

Make sure Network DDE and Network DDE DSDM are started in Services. You can get to services by going to Start, Run and typing Services.MSC
