^^And gaming. Btw wat abt ur new pc?? also wat onboard gfx do u have?

 

[FilledVoid]

Opening Ubuntu on my system and then checking system Monitor shows that it is using <250 MB. However Applications like Firefox, OpenOffice and Amarok defintely increase its usage greatly .

how do i install Adobe Flash player plugin in firefox .. i tired to install via adobe site's installer but failed .. !

I think the command was sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Join the Revolution! Format C: !

???

I think the command was sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree.

so will that enable flash player in Firefox ..
in fact once Firefox gave me an option to choose from 2 different flash player

adobe flash player and a free open source one.. i choose the open source flash player instead of adobe .. now i can't watch any videos on websites .. damn it .. they all ask for adobe flash player only

 

[Rahim]

^^ for Flash install it through Synaptic

flashplugin-nonfree

or in aTerminal enter

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

. It requires root access. Just enter your password when prompted.
As for Media Player considering your RAM(192MB) XMMS/Beep Media Player/Audacious(they are all similar in looks and controls). I prefer Amarok as it beats everything else hands down.

About UAC, it is one of the suffocating thing in Vista. M$, Stop Dictating Things!!!

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^^ hey thanks man will try it out in ubuntu

i also had this problem where in one of the drive is not mounted automatically
i have to mount it manually .. but rest are mounted automatically

how do i set this drive to get mounted automatically ??
the other 4 drivers are ready to use with start ..!

Is Rythmbox all that bad ?
the default player in Ubuntu ??

 

[Rahim]

Not really.
As for the partition not mounting automatically there must be some problem with UUIDs in /etc/fstab file. Can you give some more details like how many partitions etc.. Can you post your /etc/fstab file here. Enter in a Terminal

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

First backup the file

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bkp

To see the UUID for the said partition, its name must be sda3,sda4,sda5 and so on.Enter in Terminal

 ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | grep sda7

where sda7 will be your concerned partition, change it accordingly.
Check that the UUID number you got in the Terminal like c6a48b88-4220-4f67-8b4c-1e03566718da with the UUID number in /etc/fstab file. Edit and replace the partition's UUID with the new one and save the file.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

ok here this details of fstab file

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda3
UUID=bb1569f3-3c5d-4964-9a5e-8871be028344 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda1
UUID=4465-CEB1 /media/sda1 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=20A9-D386 /media/sda5 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
# /dev/sdb1
UUID=343B-DC76 /media/sdb1 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
# /dev/sdb5
UUID=88B6-8BA9 /media/sdb5 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
# /dev/sda4
UUID=bf1932ec-cbeb-4597-97ec-6da03d5721d5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0

and its sda6 that is not mouting

and when mounted its named as disk on the desktop ... where as other as sda2 , sdb5 etc
i hv 2 HDDs

btw how to rename them on desktop ?? or those names are forever sda1 and so on the desktop forever ??

and for this command i get this output

aks@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | grep sda6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-12-04 22:28 E3F3-45A2 -> ../../sda6

 

[Rahim]

Does sda6 have the same properties like vfat like sda5? If yes then you just have to create an entry in fstab file for sda6 with the UUID.

# /dev/sda6
UUID=E3F3-45A2 /media/sda6     vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1

hey see this picture !

[Rahim]

Thats a little strange. Does it have any files in that partition? Is it in the first hard disk of yours?
try the entry solution i wrote above and see. First BACKUP THE FSTAB FILE OK.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

yes it has some pictures and music that i downloaded right into it ! and i can view the pics and play music in that drive in ubuntu !
will try out your idea soon .. now at 6

 

[Rahim]

Not to be rude but you should register yourself at ubuntuforums.org as you will get quicker response .
