Ubuntu Linux

@ 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

that means mine is on the way; goody

i guess it gets to Abuja before coming to lagos (does that make sense?) i always order at least one cd a year myself

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.

flyuche, why are you using a virtual machine anyway? why not just create a partition for the os?

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.

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.

So r u guys sayn since installn linux tru wubi is more or less 4 testn, d linux OS may not wok optimally?

@bigrovar pls keep us posted when the upgrade path for mint 6 is published.

pls does anyone know of any good email client dat wil wok well for yahoo accounts? d thunderbird on my mint6 woks wel for my gmail account but doesnt seem to wok for yahoo
thnks 4 your response

tnx my guy
am on it

the upgrade path provided for mint6 didn't work. haven't figured out what went wrong.

@4llerbe

@lnyx man u God sent. any would do apart frm d netbook. i want to install on a desktop 1st. hmmn i'd prefer 9.04 kubuntu. does mint hav beta repositories? see am already using d jargons! anyway i stay around ogba. hmmn i'm wonderin if u culd be so nice 2 pop it in an envelop n mail 2 me? please? its jst as a result of time constraints n work. even right now am in K.D. biko my broda! i'd really appreciate it.

@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
