Maleeq: Am getting the same error. How do I add it? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Maleeq(m): 6:21pm On Jun 10, 2012 |
henryskywalker2003:Open a terminal and enter: gksu gedit /usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py (Enter your password when prompted) In the editor that opens up, search for "en_gb" Copy the entire line, and paste onto a new line. In the newly pasted line, change the "en_gb" to[b] "en_ng"[/b] save the file and exit....and you are done! |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by henryskywalker2003(m): 3:39pm On Jun 18, 2012 |
Maleeq: little problem, there are more than one place where that string occured in the said file. I later pick the one that said "en_gb = english british" and replicated it at the bottom changing the gb to ng but I still get the same error. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Maleeq(m): 9:12am On Jun 19, 2012 |
henryskywalker2003:Oooops! Can you revert what you added? You placed the change in the wrong place. Take a look at the screenshot below: Searching from the top, the 1st occurrence of en_gb is what i refer to. In the image above, that's the first record highlighted in yellow. Copy that entire line. Look at the highlighted line thats standing alone about 10lines down, thats the entry I pasted but changed the "en_gb" to "en_ng" Once you do that, thats all you need to change in the file. Save and exit. |

doziej84: pls how do i install my ubuntu alongside windows 7 ultimate.You could check the site out. I just googled it and it has a very descriptive procedure (with screenshots) for the installation process: Dual Boot Ubuntu And Windows 7 Advice: 1. Make sure you shutdown you windows OS properly (not hibernate or force shutdown) before you commence the process. Windows saves hibernation details on drive. This may corrupt you windows installation if the drive is resized. 2. You can defragment your windows drive before you commence the process. This would make your free space contiguous should you need to resize your drive/partition for Ubuntu. 3. When in doubt, please come back and ask o! Else I shall deny you like Judas if your system crash o! |

Maleeq: @ Maleeq, quick question. not ubuntu related tho. been having issues with my office network due to change of ISP. turns out the sysad i used to have configured the former ISP, Swift on the server as gateway/Ip etc. picked the networked printer as the 2nd static IP. both in serial to the gateway. network was dependent on the swift hub (i think) for dhcp and auto ip address assigning to 10 clients and any wifi device. engineer claims dhcp was done by the server. I checked, it said dhcp is off anyway, i have since removed the swift hub and plugged the ethernet in directly into the server. i plugged in the new ISP hardware into the spare port on the cisco switch and picked the gatway IP et al to config the server and pcs around. it worked.. but the catch now is, some clients after a reboot dont get on the network, keep showing IPs from the OLD SWIFT CONNECTION! what do you think is the problem? i know its obvious but men, blow me, aint no sysad. thinking of installing DHCP on the server (win2k8 ) then changing the DNS on all clients to the server's static IP instead of the ISP's DNS. am i on track? or i got it all wrong as usual? Then again, if i dont pick .....1, ......2 for the gateway/server/printer statics does it matter? i used an arbitrary number in the range for the statics |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Maleeq(m): 11:25pm On Jun 27, 2012 |
@4llerbuntu Just thinking, you say "some clients dont get on the network", meaning some others do? Perhaps those that don't have been manually configured with IP details of the your former ISP? 4llerbuntu:No, it doesn't really matter. The I.P ending with x.x.x.1 is the default gateway and most people simply leave it for simplicity. Your gateway can be any IP in the range |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by 4llerbuntu(m): 10:17am On Jun 29, 2012 |
Thanks maleeq. actually they did not have static. i found the problem. the server had DHCP installed roles for the former isp. apparently those clients still got ips assigned by the server, whilst others picked from the new router (wrong config on my part) what i have done now is changed all the clients to auto IP and DNS deleted the old DHCP role from the server, and reinstalled DHCP, specifying the server with a static IP as DHCP, and the ISP as gateway. so far, everything now works. the new challenge is that i have 3 drives on the server that were shared on the network and sync data backup automagically. i cannot seem to get the clients to see them now, though i reassigned them on the server. haven't had time to look through tho. i would have changed the server to ubuntu sef, but all the clients are windows, its an office environment so its critical that uptime is maintained. i don't think i can spare the effort, nor battle with samba shares if issues come up. maybe if the server install dies on me sometime sha 1 Like |

Anybody tried Mageia linux? checked distrowatch and it's currently ranked just below ubuntu; apparently it's based on mandriva. I'm just curious, does anyone know why it's suddenly so popular? |

I'm just curious, does anyone know why it's suddenly so popular?No. Maybe I would try that out over the next weekend. It is French supported Linus-base Operating system software.I can spot an error in the translation already. The word donators should be donors on their official website.

Distrowatch is a measure of interest, not adoption or use. i hear about a new distro, i look it up on distrowatch. may even download it sef, does not mean i use it. |

4llerbuntu: Distrowatch is a measure of interest, not adoption or use. i agree, same here. i'm just surprised it has so many hits, especially since (to my knowledge) there has been only 2 major releases |

you know i sort of find it interesting that the concept of the app store that they are making so much noise about in smartphones has been around in linux for years ishika roi: Actually my first installation of ubuntu was not successfull and then i tried for the second time and then it was ok without any hanging problem it got installed. after installing ubuntu my system is ok. now there are no problem with my system.

bro, you get time o. i doubt if those posters are even nigerians or humans sef. i suspect they are bots anyway, u know what gandhi said: first they ignore you, then they laugh, then they attack you, then you win. read that unity launcher is now getting ported to other distros. and there are devs from fedora and other distros breaking down the door to try port software center. go figure. now those are the two most controversial things ever that canonical did. last i heard, poeple were supposed to be ditching ubuntu by the thousands because "unity was killing them" mcheew!! smh |
