Maleeq:maleeq,how do I will install extreme download manager? Been trying sudo~apt~get install exdm Doesn't seem to work. Do I have to create an account on the bash page or something? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Maleeq(m): 8:35am On Jul 04, 2016 |
purplekayc: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/apps $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install xdman |

Maleeq:Before using the bash script I would have to create a username? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Fulaman198(m): 4:19am On Jul 05, 2016 |
purplekayc: Don't you already have a username. type 'whoami' or do a 'w', 'who', 'finger' All sudo does is that it executes an command with administrative privileges. sudo it's telling the Linux or UNIX based system to switch user to root user to execute a command. It doesn't actually switch the user to root (that is su command). Best of luck |

Been a wee while since I swung around these parts. Glad to see that y'all are going strong. Stay safe people. P.S - I've been a KDE buff for years now, so Kubuntu it is for me these days. 1 Like |

@op I have a HP pavilion g series that run on windows 7, my question is 1. After installing Ubuntu, do I need to install drivers for USB, WiFi and other feature to work. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 3:26pm On Jul 14, 2016 |
ukorsimplicity: No you don't, unless there's a device that uses proprietary drivers, the ones that come out of the box with Ubuntu will suffice |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by ukorsimplicity(m): 3:50pm On Jul 14, 2016 |
blackweaver: That simply mean my universal modem or mtn dongle will work after installing Ubuntu? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 9:42am On Jul 15, 2016 |
ukorsimplicity: It should. If you're not sure boot up the livecd and see if your dongle will work - but generally it should 1 Like |

Re: Ubuntu Linux by Beejayw(m): 5:34pm On Jul 16, 2016 |
anyone here? |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by 4llerbuntu(m): 3:29am On Jul 18, 2016 |
Either your flash drive is bad or the .iso is bad. You shouldn't be getting I/O errors with a USB stick Try another stick, if its the same issue then download the .iso again |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Beejayw(m): 8:57am On Jul 18, 2016 |
4llerbuntu:at last someone,thanks boss,will try that today and get back here |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 12:47pm On Jul 18, 2016 |
4llerbuntu: Beejayw: or if you can get a rewritable (NOT recordable o, since that can only written once), then you can try writing the iso to it |

blackweaver: More of a gnome 3 person this days. yet I still will not recommend it for the new user. from my experience with new users. Most of our staff and student researchers (over 200 of them) seem comfortable with Ubuntu unity. I rarely have to do any introduction.. they just get right on with it. which I think speaks to how good unity usability is especially with new non traditional Linux users. |

KDE sadly has really been hit by the demise of Nokia and lack of corporate sponsorship. It should be recalled that Nokia owned Qt the toolkit framework which KDE is based as a result many KDE developers were sponsored by Nokia to work on Qt. Qt was all set to conquer the world and create a convergence UI that span from mobile, to desktop and KDE was all set to benefit. Then Elop happened, Nokia killed off Meego and by extension their involvement with Qt. Although Qt is still striving, development has slowed and as a result many KDE developers (especially the paid one) scaled back involvements. The community bravely stepped up to the plate, but community effort is not enough to push the KDE and standards kde set. Dont get me wrong, project is still awesome and KDE 5 is looking good. But many projects are lack active maintenance (can't remember the last time Amarok had a release) and the result is lots of bugs which sometimes take time to fix. I even heard the oxygen project now lack maintainers . Gnome on the other hand still has lots of corporate backing, especially from redhat and to some extent canonical. Gnome 3 has great polish although the usual annoying knack for hidden features and over simplification still plaques gnome. but a good hacker should be able to get round such silly limitations. I really enjoy gnome 3. Although it does come at a huge cost in ram. 1 Like |

bigrovar: Nice summary, I hope KDE picks up really quickly. I see it as the real winner in the UI convergence paradigm as far as community-driven Linux goes. I am a KDE fan and Kubuntu does it for me. I might venture into Arch or Debian one of these days. Currently running KDE Neon on VirtualBox, who knows it might just be the next daily driver for me. 2 Likes 1 Share |

pls I want to lay my hands on Linux which one should I go for Ubuntu ? Fedora? Linux mint ? beside am planning on dual booting it with window system spec is Intel celeron n2830 500g ROM 2g RAM thanks |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by bigrovar(m): 4:48am On Jul 21, 2016 |
femarse:I would recommend you use xfce flavour of Ubuntu which is called xububtu. I would have recommended Linux mint but their recent security lapses have made me lost faith in the project. Xububtu will perform wonders on that hardware of yours. It is a light weight desktop aimed at lower power computer that you are running. Fedora for me has always been considered a testing ground for red hat so unless it is for learning ( in which case use cent OS) I never recommend fedora. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by femarse: 7:36am On Jul 22, 2016 |
bigrovar: thanks |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 11:19am On Jul 24, 2016 |
femarse: For your laptop I will recommend you look at lightweight distros. Apart from Xubuntu, Linux Lite and Puppy Linux are other suggestions. Have fun in the process. |

Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 2:14pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
purplekayc: From what I can tell you are only trying to download that app from Sourceforge. In my opinion, I will not recommend your approach on using wget to install apps for now. Use the apt command as suggested by Maleeq and you should be fine. Share your screenshot if you still encounter problems. |

Gargoylesmiles:just did that this is what i got ..plz advice am having problems determining my sudo password
|
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Gargoylesmiles(m): 3:21pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
purplekayc: The requested password is your login password. Mind you your account must have administrator rights which I believe is the case here. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by purplekayc(m): 3:33pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
Gargoylesmiles:i think i resolved the problem but i cant remember the password its requesting i punched in my main password several times but it rejected it. not sure if my account has admin rights how do i check? |
