How To Install Stuff With Ubuntu
Oct 24, 2009
You want to install software using Ubuntu? Synaptic is a graphical front-end to apt, the package management system in Ubuntu. It combines the point-and-click simplicity of the graphical user interface with the power of the apt-get command line tool. With windows, insert the CD or DVD and it autostarts. If not, you can click SETUP on the media. then click next and it installs. No command lines. No wonder why 99.999999% of the users reject Ubuntu as garbage. It is garbage.

I Went To Alot Of Posts And Said To Quite A Few People The Following: Re-Format Your Computer And Install Either Open Source Linux Ubuntu 7.10 RTW, And/Or Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support Alpha 6, Just FYI. I Want You To Know That I Was Out Of Line. Just FYI. My Doctor Called And Made An Emergency Delivery Of More Medication So I Won't Be Such A Pain. Just FYI.
Just FYI. If You Are A Geek, You Can Install Ubuntu. If You Are A Shut-In Like Alias, You Can Install Ubuntu. My Psychiatrist Said That Most People Who Use Ubuntu Are Not "Right" If You Know What I Mean. Just FYI. You Really Need To Use Vista Or Go Back To Windows XP If Vista Isn't Working. Just FYI. To Use Ubuntu Means You Are Sick.

My hard drive went south so I had to reinstall Ubuntu. I timed it and it took exactly one hour to install Ubuntu, download and install 124 updates, all the programs I use and tweaking Compiz Fusion to my liking. Windows XP, OTOH, on the same drive, took DAYS to finish.

My HP system was built with Vista in mind and has been working flawlessly for a year and a half. It runs better than XP and takes one awful beating from me and my system is on all the time with sleep engaged, waking up to perform tasks on it's own very reliably. I really do not know what people are bitching about! Just lucky I guess.
My question has to do with Virtual PC, I have tried 2004 and 2007 and have the same problem with both. In trying to install Ubuntu Linux there just not seem to be a way to get the display resolution correct. In VPC during the install VPC reports that the guest OS has selected a resolution too wide for the screen. I have tried all three resolution options in the VPC setup without sucess. XP installs in VPC perfectly. Linux and XP install perfectly in Virtual Box. Virtual Box has some issues with virtual disk size that I have been unable to resolve or I would just use Virtual Box from Sun systems. and Virtual Box runs much more quickly than VPC.

the main audience is "Vista" users. People who already spent a lot of money for an operating system, which they do want to use now. Ubuntu has a clear right of existence in it's area, but not in this group. If you like it better, fine. But don't try to spread your "religion" here when someone asks for help about a Vista problem.

I have deleted a file from my docs, then emptied the recycling bin, then deleted loads more stuff and again emptied the recycling bin. Suddenly there was a Word document that didn't want deleting. I have found it again using Recuva but it tells me that it isn't recoverable as the file has been written over. Is there anyway of recovering a file that has been deleted and that space written over again but the file name is still available during a search using recovery tools?

I have bought a new system with Vista Home Premium and I am trying to install an IDE hard drive as a slave. These are from my old system and I just want them installed so I can copy across stuff. I have done this in XP with no problem but I cannot seem to get this system to see them. If they do not show up in Bios does this mean Vista wont see them? I have tried varies jumper settings but my Bios just wont see either of my drives. My new system has a Sata HD installed so I am just connecting my slave IDE HD to the empty IDE connector on the Mobo.

I read an article last week that the number one thing to do to protect your computer from malware is to run it in a "user" account. Equal to that is simply good behavior or sites on internet. Also to keep everything updated. I have always done these things. I run the latest Avast for my antivirus protection. I also have windows defender protection on and PC Tools Firewall Plus for firewall. Tonight I looked at drudge report and clicked on a link to a British newspaper. The article wasn't what I thought it was and it looked like a tabloid (Sun? closed so quick don't remember) and tabloid is not news so I quickly closed that window and went on to next links. My computer went slow after that. Just did not seem right. Restarted in safe mode and ran cCleaner computer clean and registry clean in both user and admin. Restarted and all my appearance settings are different. Runs slow or different. I remembered Windows Defender updated yesterday and the update always does a restore point. Tried to run System restore to restore to yesterday settings. After giving admin permission I saw the wait circle just disappear. It was like vista just ignored or canceled the start up of system restore. Every time I retried System restore it did the same thing or crashed my computer.
This smells like a virus. I go to main stream web sites only, run computer with (default limited) user account (use admin only when I need to make certain changes which is rare), Avast updates automatically multiple times a day. With these settings and behavior I thought I was bulletproof. I even read that $10,000 hacking prize winner Dino Dai Zovi and Rich Mogull both said Vista more secure than Apple Mac. I am currently scanning whole computer with a-squared Free. I will then scan with Avast, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, SUPERAntiSpyware, Windows Defender, and again with Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, in that order. What do I do if all these scans find nothing?
What do I do now? I never had a virus or malware before. Is it like the mumps, you want to get it as a child and not an adult? Does antivirus or antimalware remove bad stuff or does it just tell me I am infected and I need to reformat and rebuild system

I am about to set up my new HP computer which has Vista Premium 64 bit and a 750 gig hard drive. With all the mp3's, lossless audio and avi's I have on various external hard drives, 750 gigs isn't really "that big" anymore! So I was on the phone with a friend last night and he said "I have to delete a bunch of stuff from my hard drive because my computer geek friend told me I should never have my drive more than 50% full." I said, "Well, surely nowadays with big hard drives that is no longer true. But I will ask."
How full can a 750gig hard drive be, before it causes sluggishness or other problems, using Vista Premium 64bit? Note: I am thinking of shrinking the C partition into various partitions: about 20gigs for a cd/dvd ripping area about 100gigs for Vista and programs and desktop working area" (C drive) about 400 gigs for mp3's and the rest for .avi movie files Is this a reasonable plan? And is it okay to shrink it and divide it after I'm already up and running with Vista, internet, etc.?

This is probably a very simple question, transferring from xp to vista using easy transfer, over the years theres been a lot of stuff duplicated and deleted on my xp machine. I believe all these deleted copies and all the other deleted stuff stays on the computer, just not visible. Does esay transfer transfer all this deleted stuff as well,and if so is there anything special I should do to my xp machine to stop these copying. Don't want to fill the vista before i've used it with deleted stuff.

Without trying to create controversy, but simply with the desire to use both
OS's on the same machine:
Installed: Dell motivated Vista Home Premium, SP1, 32 bit.
Capacity: Dual core Inspiron & 300GB HD, w. MS Virual PC (39MB, I believe),
290 GB C: w. Vista installed and 10 GB D: for recovery.
My question is: can I safely install ubuntu, v.7.10, in the virtual pc, with
the intention to dual boot?

Ubuntu, it is generally well known, as being behind Windows Vista or 7 in the sales department, possibly on a scale of about 50-1. Normally, sales indicate popularity on a product. We can also assume from these figures that volume of sales could also indicate a certain quality of that product.
Therefore, on that assumption, the 50-1 deficit that Ubuntu lags behind in the sales department, is possibly not even the 2nd best nor even the 3rd or 4th best OS come to think of it. I therefore pondered on this question. Why on earth should I settle for second best, let alone third or fourth best? If they can afford it, most people in life want the best. That is why I will be buying Windows 7 this month...........

It seems that people who troll here have nothing better to do. They think Ubuntu is the greatest product since sliced bread. Yet they come here day after day, trying to get people to switch to that inferior product. Ubuntu is for nerds. The reason they come here is they can't use Ubuntu so they do the next best thing. Come to the vista group and try to get people to convert. Most people are smart enough to see through all that crap. People want to use their Windows Vista or Windows XP. They don't need or want some stupid piece of crap like Ubuntu.

Alias is getting a big hard on ( well for Alias it's big, but in the scheme of things 1 inch isn't much) about the new release of that INFERIOR Opetating System Ubuntu, Spicy Sphincter or whatever it's called. One thing for sure, Ubuntu is WORTHLESS for 99.999% of the population out there because Ubuntu doesn't run any of their software. Alias is the Ubuntu Marketing Department and Alias is a lost mental soul. He believes that he can convert users to that piece of crap when in reality

Ubuntu knows that almost everyone hates Ubuntu and refused to run that piece of crap, so they pulled out all stops and they gave Alias the green light to step up marketing their INFERIOR product. Alias is the Marketing Department for Ubuntu. We will continue to get daily count-down posts because will all the money they are paying Alias (NOTHING), he came up with brilliant strategy. Blanket the Vista Forum with a daily count down of their release of their next INFERIOR product.

People here are smart enough not to use that crappy Ubuntu in any form. Alpha, Beta, or Release. Ubuntu is still the same crap. Doesn't run the popular software programs out there. Most reject Ubuntu as garbage.
