Very nice, thanks :)

If it's that simple to do things like that from the terminal app then I can see why people use it so much. Imagine trying to do that from a DOS prompt in windows!

rundll32.exe some.dll,FunctionNameIKnowCosIDisassembledSomethingEx "don't know what this parameter is for", filename, -LETTERSTHATMEANNOTHINGTOME

Thanks for that post mate - this thread is most certainly bookmarked.

Thank you very much :) I'm a super noob with Linux and I didn't know how to install Firefox lol. But this install command is used for .tar.gz files, right?

[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Haha, true true! If you feel extra nerdy you can try Arch. I tried it, and the room got hotter by the minute. It was hell.

And btw, i forgot two commands:

- sudo apt-get update (update/reload the repositories)

- sudo apt-get upgrade (will install new updates)

But again, you don't need terminal anymore. You can easily do everything (99%) through the menus.
[Off-topic] Archer:
I like the idea of doing stuff from terminal. Makes me feel more like Neo ;)
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Oh, the tar.gz. If you're a noob (i'm still a noob), then stay away from the tar.gz :p You'll need to compile the package yourself using the terminal, and that's not that easy, so just try to download .deb files (same as .exe - in other words "double click and install")

But when you want to install Firefox or whatever you're downloading them from a repository, so the only thing the terminal needs to know is what you want to do (apt-get install/remove/reinstall) and the package name (firefox/opera/banshee/wine etc.).
[Off-topic] hiu115:
i only used one line command and that's it

I prefer debian testing or Sid. Rolling release is easier for me to maintain. Constant flow of small updates instead of 6 month major releases.

My setup is a Pentium 4 box with dual monitors. One monitor has a full screen terminal (konsole). the other is Google Chrome. No other windows ever get opened. I dont see why people are afraid of a command line? Once you get used to it everything is much easier and faster to do
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Agree, but you have to learn those commands. You don't need to learn to click on buttons. But no, i don't have anything against the terminal, and like you say, everything is faster.

One question, if you only use the terminal and a web browser, then what's the point of a dual screen computer? How about a netbook? :p

I'm sticking with 10.10

I can't stand the Unity interface, and there's nothing really spectacular on 11.XX that makes it worth upgrading for me.

I installed 11.04 for a while, but it was a pain to get compiz to behave correctly, I kept getting freezes, visual artifacting in my skydome/cube rotation, and other than all that, it was just about the same as 10.XX to me. So uninstalled and went with a clean 10.10 install.

Now that I hear that Synaptic's gone too, I think even more that I should just stay where I'm at, especially after seeing all the "Tried to upgrade to 11.XX and now my system is messed up" threads over on Ubuntu Forums.

I've finally got everything all super cool, I'm not gonna risk screwing myself.

[Off-topic] huggs:
Yeah, knew about logging in in classic mode, but it's still not worth it to me. I don't see any huge new functionality, and 11.04 was pretty buggy with compiz for me. I'm sur if I upgraded, I'd have to spend 2 days getting everything back the way I like it since 11.XX uses gnome3 I would have to at least set that all up. But gnome3 does look good though

Right there with you. LinuxMint 11 uses the Ubuntu repositories but by default has Gome 2. I run it on my laptop. I'm no noob to Linux but think it's a little more noob friendly. Plus because it is based on Ubuntu it has all the hardware support that some other disros struggle with. I guess I just don't like the direction Ubuntu is heading in.

I run Debian on my other systems but couldn't get it to support the function keys and the headphone jack on the laptop so I stick with LinuxMint on the laptop.
[Off-topic] gbroon:
Stopped using ubuntu years ago because of a bad experience with the community help being completely unhelpful and won't be using it.

Think my question was something along the lines of:

since upgrading to the new version ubuntu freezes and reboots after about 20 secs, debian, fedora and windows all work fine.

I got about 10 replys along the lines of theres nothing wrong with ubuntu its obviously your hardware. Seems Ubuntu was the only OS intelligent enough to notice my hardware was broken.

Decided I would go elsewhere and never looked back. The same thing happened later on another distro and some helpful people helped me figure out it was a new version of a kernel module chosen wrongly as default that I had to blacklist.

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in order to compile CM7 from source, and i ended up liking it so much, it is now my main OS! I find it way faster than Windows, with a nicer UI! I actually have only Ubuntu, but with a Windows virtualbox, and that to me is the proper relationship between the 2, lol. Basically just wanted Windows for Netflix and a few Android programs that don't run in Linux. I have had good success Googling issues and getting things to work in Ubuntu, like audio and video problems, etc.

My friend gave me a copy of Ubuntu 11.04, and i just couldn't get the display to come on.... I'm using an Acer Aspire laptop. Perhaps i will give 11.10 a go tho. Will it still be fine for all one's compiling needs?
[Off-topic] :
If you're having display issues it could be your video drivers. But yes, it's just as good for compiling. ;) What kind of display issues are you having? Like it just wouldn't show anything?

Yeah, the screen on my computer was completly dark. When i plugged it in to my friends monitor thru HDMI it seemed to work, but when i plugged it into my tv thru HDMI, i could see something on the tv screen, you know that pinkish Ubuntu wallpaper, and i could scroll off the screen and the cursor would then show up on the laptop screen..... Something like that , lol. I can't remember exactly now, but i just went straight back to 10.04 where i was comfortable.

Could it be that the newer versions require different video drivers? I am curious now and want to try 11.10 just to see what happens.

Edit: i should add that i could only see the wallpaper, no icons, apps etc.

If you continue to have issues try this:

I know it says it's for 10.04, but I've tried it on my desktop myself and I've have display issues myself. Right now I'm using 11.10. ;)

Yeah, it could be that the drivers became proprietary. Or some stuff. Try that and see if it fixes anything.

Most definitely, I'm almost always in off-topic. :D Yeah, I had the same problem myself awhile back. I had to boot into nomode set then download the proprietary drivers from there.

Ah ok yeah, that was sorta the first problem i couldn't fix, and it was tough not having the computer to use to figure it out! So what is nomode? Will i maybe have to use that? And should i maybe start out dual booting 11.10 with what i already have, just too see how it works?
[Off-topic] :
Nomode set is kinda like safe mode for widows. :)

You will have to use that if your display drivers aren't set. Eh, if you want you can multi boot but that could be more of a hassle. Read up on the link I sent you.

so I installed 11.10 and as expected, it booted to a blank screen. I did manage to reboot in nomode, and was trying a fix where you boot into recovery and do something or other... but when choosing recovery and getting to the login prompt, when I enter my password, it seems to start going somewhere but then comes right back to the login prompt(password is correct, if I enter the wrong one, it tells me). I am only able to log in as guest, and now when I try and boot into the system in nomode, it goes right to that same login prompt and gives the same result. so at the moment, I can only seem to log into my computer as a guest. any idea what went wrong or how to fix it? thx!

I'm reviving this thread because I just finished installing Ubuntu 11.10 and (with quite a bit of googling) have got Eclipse and the Android SDK up and running.

I do have 1 question though that Googling isn't helping with.

I have dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7 and would like a way to force restart in a particular OS. That way, I could have logmein running on Windows and force it to restart in Ubuntu and use VNC. From there I'd want to be able to force reboot in Windows.

Any advice?
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Hmm, not sure but you could try and ask the Ubuntu geeks at Ubuntuforums.org :-)
[Off-topic] Archer:
Yeah, fair enough. I suppose an Ubuntu forum is a better place to ask :p

I'm now struggling with it asking for a keyring password all the time, despite the fact that I've never set one before!

Seriously, put DVD in drive, click next a few times and Windows just runs. This is a pain to get running, by comparison!

Edit: Actually, I'm getting a bit narked with this. I now can't see my Windows partition even though I could see it before my last reboot. I'm on the edge of thinking this is more trouble than it's worth.

Another Edit: It turns out the TVMobili was stopping me from being able to access my Windows partition because it was "in use", despite the fact that it was not installed there and it was not accessing any files on it. It wasn't easy to remove either!

I'm new to the Xoom, getting it sometime next week in the mail. I have seen two different kernels and two different CWMs each boasting something (seemingly?) different than the other.

In your opinion or experience, which kernel and CWM is better? The one from Tiamat or the one from Rogue?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LPHS:
i myself prefer the rouge recovery because it allows installing zips from internal storage as well...about kernels i use the default tiamat moray 2.2.2 kernel as the other one is not yet compatible with moray 2.2.2

And I prefer the Tiamat recovery and the Tachi overclock gpu kernel.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
Another vote for all things Tiamat :D - Recovery, Kernel and ROM.

Now with that said I have not tried the Rogue recovery, but I figure that the Tiamat developers most likely use thier own tools. I am no expert at this so following instructions is what I do best and most of those include the Tiamat CWM so I will stick with it.

I prefer to keep all the ROMs, Titatium backups and Nandroid backups on a single microsd. So I have one microsd for that and one for my movies when I am traveling.

I use my recovery image that I have released. I did try the Rogue recovery but decided it wasn't for me.

I think bigrushdog is using the Rogue recovery now as well.

Either recovery image is fine, my recovery image is centered around the external sdcard, but the rogue recovery also gives you other options on what storage device to use.

about kernels....nothong wrong with tachi but i don't like that flickering of motorola logo in the bootloader
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
OK slightly off topic but this has been asked and talked about many times. The distortion that appears on the Motorola logo is caused by a patch to the NVidia driver that you implemented in the kernel. I would assume that you implemented the patch because it offered either some performance improvement or added features. Can you explain what the patch offers so people can weigh the benefits of dealing with the distortion or loading a kernel without the patch?

To me I like seeing the distortion, just a nice reminder that I am rooted and running Tiamat. ;)
