It's debian you're using? in that case there was no need to sudo, just su to root and with root do whatever you want to do

not to worry ,I have an upgraded version of debian x64 bit
I would do a clean install and add new permissions

Pls I'm a Mugu when it come to Linux and redhat and Ubuntu, How can I start using that?

Wow. Didn't know there was a thread dedicated to Ubuntu Linux. Have been dual booting Linux distros side by side with Windows for years until the advent of Windows 10. Since then I haven't looked back. Have abandoned Windows and now run Ubuntu Gnome on my 6-year-old Sony Vaio 8g RAM 320gb HDD. I very rarely run Windows in a virtual machine using Virtualbox. Here's a screenshot of my current desktop.

Please help.
If I type a document on my Android phone and send it via bluetooth to a windows PC, the PC does not open the file. How can I overcome this?
Can anybody please educate me on how to activate bluetooth on Linux mint Rosa?
Thanks guys.

pls add me up to the whatsapp group 08163727964

Curious. How did it kill your former laptop?

@blackweaver. Have you ever been able to.use a MiFi on Ubuntu via USB?

Can't seem to this spectranet version to work.

You know on windows its not exactly dialup. It works more like tethering. It doesnt have a dashboard. U just plug it in and it creates a virtual land.

Network manager actually detects it. I located some drivers for it and installed so it is detected.

USB modeswitch also installed and tried.

I think that because its not dial up network manager doesn't know what to do with it. Tried WVdial, no results.

never had to or tried to, I always use the wifi of the modem. Any reason why you're trying to do so?

Nice to here your story, I have been dual booting for long as well but i decided this year to get a second hand laptop for Linux fully. Installed Kubuntu on it an hardly touch my Win laptop since then. Check out my screen

Desktop at home. No WiFi. The USB WiFi I had is busted.

Read up some more about it. Seems its called a USB Ethernet connection. Not much by way of documentation

For bluetooth, check if you see the bluetooth logo on your taskbar (depends on your distro. You should be able to solve the prob from there. For the USB issue, I think you need to select the file transfer option from your phone. By default its on phone charging (mainly Android phones).

Hope this helps.

It depends on your system and you.
Ubuntu is quite good. Are you using an old version? You should use a newer version (at least 14.04).

Lol same here I have dual Ubuntu and windows running and also another laptop with Kubuntu mehn fvck Unity, Xfce and KDE Plasma is the bomb, esp KDE it comes with cool tools I need

Good for you; agree with the unity, everything else nah. Not really a fan of the plasma -especeially kde5.x. Maybe i'm just old fashioned o, took me a while to take to kde4.x sef. Haven't taken to gnome3 or unity. I stand with mate/Xfce.
I'm still ok with cinnamon though. Maybe it's because my hardware has never been high end sha.
When you start your desktop environment and your system is crawling, then you have to spend lots of time disabling all the compositing so you can get sensible enough performance.
And gnome3 still makes some things that should be basic difficult

Hey guys! I run Win 8.1 Enterprise with Hyper-V for virtualization. I created virtual machines and want to run Ubuntu on one.

What are pros and cons? Thanks

Fulaman198:


I don't think that works on the basis that IP addresses ( I assume you are talking about your local IP address) are typically dynamically assigned by a DHCP server (which is typically your router) or are statically assigned by you. Now, most machines have only 1 IP address, unless if they have an IP address assigned to each NIC (Network Interface Card) on that particular device.

If I am interpreting what you are saying correctly, you are trying to run multiple instances of Firefox with different IP addresses....I know it is none of my business, but for what purpose?

Is this even possible? On same machine?

For me it depends on why you want to run Ubuntu in the first place. You just want to try it out or plan to work with it from the virtual environment? The former is okay but I wont advice the later.
IMHO the major con is that the performance is never the same compared to when it runs native. I will suggest you dual boot after testing on VM. Hope this helps.

Guys who knows the ADMIN password to a Spectranet CPE?
