Re: Ubuntu Linux by esquire(m): 2:42am On May 21, 2009 |
@ C wolf hello guyz i just picked up my ubunt 9.04 and kubuntu 9.04 from the post office sent by canonical. i just installed it but i could not get online with mtn dailup through bluetooth after automatic configuration pls help. i dont know how to dail through bluetooth. pls help. c.wolf still bootfast. With kubuntu i can vouch that dialup will work but the reverse is the case with gnome with ubuntu is actually based on unless you install tools like blueman which is awesome. Do you use a mobile phone? if yes try connecting through a cable which i know that network manager will handle fine. I did a pre-release order i guess it should be here by now will check post office on friday ![]() ![]() ![]() |

lynxnoon: I got every single cd i requested for Feisty fawn Gutsy Gibbon Hardy heron Intrepid Ibex and just last week Jaunty Jackalope Am sure the reason you didnt get yours is due to postal mishandling |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 8:52pm On May 22, 2009 |
i guess it gets to Abuja before coming to lagos (does that make sense?) i always order at least one cd a year myself |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by flyuche(m): 6:01am On May 23, 2009 |
@bigbrovar. i installed virtualbox, (i have no problem running it in my vista) this is the error meeasge i got when i wanted to run jaunty jackalope. how do i resolve this?

Re: Ubuntu Linux by bigrovar(m): 6:53am On May 23, 2009 |
flyuche: Funny i dont experience this problem , but some vista users also have it http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=7796&highlight=vmx+root+mode anyway here is a work around The workaround is to disable KVM: 1. Install "bum" (Boot-up Manager): sudo apt-get install bum 2. Start Boot-up Manager (in systems menu) and untick "Full virtualization on i386 and amd64 hardware - kvm" 3. Click Apply Answer yes to make the change effective right away. |

Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 12:13am On May 24, 2009 |
flyuche, why are you using a virtual machine anyway? why not just create a partition for the os? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by esquire(m): 1:25am On May 24, 2009 |
I got my ubuntu and kubuntu today and i just ran the live cd and i must confess KDE is too polished ![]() ![]() |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by flyuche(m): 5:12am On May 24, 2009 |
blackweaver:i don't want ubuntu and linuxmint on the same machine. i have vista and linuxmint on my machine.(dualbooting). i just need the virtualbox to try out new os or distros. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 2:55pm On May 24, 2009 |
t least for ubuntu you could have used the wubi installer; then if you want to get rid of it uninstall from windows; but is virtual box fast enough? i can't stand the delay that occurs when am running an os in a virtual machine |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by bigrovar(m): 7:22pm On May 24, 2009 |
blackweaver: flyuche already has ubuntu installed on his system, he just wants to use virtualbox to try out other linux distributions , i never recommend wubi for most people due to the fact that its just a way to test linux, and not meant to be a final solution. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by flyuche(m): 11:18pm On May 24, 2009 |
bigrovar:exactly. i am running xp now in my virtualbox in fullscreen mode. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by lynxnoon2: 1:44pm On May 25, 2009 |
So r u guys sayn since installn linux tru wubi is more or less 4 testn, d linux OS may not wok optimally? 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Ubuntu Linux by bigrovar(m): 10:23pm On Jun 02, 2009 |
lynxnoon: I think he would be better off with linux mint due to the fact that one, its more nooby friendly, and 2 its has a better out of the box experience compared to ubuntu because it ships non free codecs for playing mp3 and dvds by default , codecs ubuntu doesnt ship for legal and political reasons. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 12:35am On Jun 03, 2009 |
@4llerbe which area n Ogba do you stay? i stay there too unfortunately i don't have kde on my debian-based distros (i.e debian, ubuntu, mint) however i do have kde on opensuse if you're interested yeah you'l only see commercial brands n otigba which is strange since all you have to do to get ubuntu is go to shipit.ubuntu.com, register for free and order your cd (for free too) of course tthere may be some delay in the cd getting to you but i've been ordering ubuntu at least once a year since 2005 |
