[hullap]

It now says "You are not privileged to Mount this parttion"
I did follow those instructions and restarted the Ubuntu

gksudo ntfs-config

 

[thewisecrab]

Done that
Its mounting on boot now
And Finally,
How do I run CZ on Wine?
It is a game folder on another drive, not XP's default "C" drive....

 

[hullap]

just opening the game executable runs the game here
its 100% wine compatible

 

[thewisecrab]

By double clicking on steam.exe, I get the following error:

Steam.exe(main exception): Cannot open blob archive file:CMultifieldBlob (mem-mapped file):Failed to MapViewOfFile

And I've bought the anthology for 500Rs (Original)

I think you better install the game in wine by double clicking on the game installer in ubuntu.

Emulation is the best thing to do, instead play games on Windows only.
also, there is no need to restart Ubuntu after every software install like in windows, except for kernel updates.

everything else works on the fly.
also try this
Ubuntu:Hardy

 

[thewisecrab]

Then I'll leave gaming for XP
What else can I do now?
I mean it is configured to run any media file, has Fx 3.0
Arre haan...
What good is Ubuntu Studio?
Can I install it's apps on Hardy?
How can I sync my Synth (with no USB ) with my Ubuntu?
my synth has MIDI-out...

 

[Rahim]

Ubuntu STudio is dedicated to Multimedia creation/editing needs and yes you can install its appz in Ubuntu!!

 

[thewisecrab]

Great.....
So about my synth
How do I sync it?
Or do I just record it through line-in?
Also, where are the packages installed?
I installed LAME thru package manager but I'm unable to direct Audacity to it

 

[Rahim]

^Audacity will find LAME automatically, at least it does in my case. To see where the packages are installed, select it from Synaptic and click properties and change the tabs to see the info.

 

[thewisecrab]

OK, Thanks man
Will KDE apps work on Gnome?
I mean, I know they are different
But if Amarok works, then why not Marble ( Mapping software)?
Is there some procedure involved?

 

[gary4gar]

yes they would but a few QT library would be installed.
you can you synaptic package manager to install any application

 

[thewisecrab]

But when I try to install Marble
It says that "somethingmarble.deb" was not found
And
What Gnome apps are recommended for complete multimedia and editing (sound and video) use?

 

[CadCrazy]

For Audio editing use Audacity while for video editing there's no good application exists. Try Lives, Kino,cinepaint,kdenlive etc. Visit this page for more info

 

[thewisecrab]

Navigate to ##default num and change the default value from 0 to anyone you want. Remember the counting begins from 0 and not 1 .
So if your Windows is in the 5th line then change default to 4.

I did not get the underlined statement
The default number is 0
So what should I change it to so that XP is first in line?

And How do I install XboxMedia Centre On Ubuntu?
I get directed to this page when I click on Instructions:

Plz Help......

Bumped again

 

[Rahim]

While booting note down the line where windows xp entry is and then edit as needed.

XMBC install.
Open a Terminal and enter

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and add the following 2 repos

deb *ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src *ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy/ubuntu hardy main

Do a

sudo apt-get update

and then install it from Synaptic.

 

[thewisecrab]

Will do that as soon as boot into Ubuntu
Thanks...
what basic steps should I remember to install a soft on Gnome?
This is so that atleast I can try installing some packages on my own...

 

[Rahim]

It will be easy to install from Synaptic. Just download the .deb(like .exe for windows) packages and you will be fine. If you want latest packages of some apps then head over to getdeb.net and download the deb and install by double-clicking.

Welcome to the World of Linux may the force be with you.

You can do any of the following.
1. Install through Synaptic.
2. Use the Add / Remvoe programs link in the menus.
3. You could download the deb files from a site like getdeb.net and then install it.
4. You could compile from the source itself.

Pretty much everything you need should be in Ubuntu repositories itself.

Thanks "person from Zarthos"
is there some problem with XBMc?
I installed it and now it just shows me a blank screen when started.
Did some googling but didnt help...
FYI I have 64-bit Ubuntu with 2 gigs RAM
