Installing the latest Wine on Ubuntu Installing WineHQ packages If you have previously installed a Wine package from another repository, please remove it and any packages that depend on it (e.g., wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks) before attempting to install the WineHQ packages, as they may cause dependency conflicts. If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already): sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 Add the repository: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds Update packages: sudo apt-get update Then install (example for the development branch): sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel If you prefer to use the Staging branch, replace `winehq-devel` with `winehq-staging` in the line above. If apt-get complains about missing dependencies, install them, then repeat the last two steps (update and install). If you have previously used the distro packages, you will notice some differences in the WineHQ ones: Files are installed to /opt/wine-devel. Installing without Internet Compiling WoW64
Science Goals Provide to researchers and scientists better experience when using Debian. Classify, package and distribute free software useful to science and research. How to use it? You can use Debian Science perfectly as you are using Debian because it is a completely internal project and is nothing else than Debian itself. The aim of the Debian Science metapackages is to provide a useful set of packages for someone working in a particular scientific field. [1] Debtags are a means of classifying packages. [2] RFP/ITP - Request for package / Intent to package - these are pseudo bugs that track which packages have been requested and whether someone is working on them. [3] The list of bugs is a work in progress. [4] The debian-science QA page at How to join Debian Science has a mailing list debian-science.

HowToMD5SUM When one has downloaded an ISO file for installing or trying Ubuntu, it is recommended to test that the file is correct and safe to use. The MD5 calculation gives a checksum (called a hash value), which must equal the MD5 value of a correct ISO. The program md5sum is designed to verify data integrity using the MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) 128-bit cryptographic hash. MD5 hashes used properly can confirm both file integrity and authenticity. In terms of integrity, an MD5 hash comparison detects changes in files that would cause errors. In terms of security, cryptographic hashes such as MD5 allow for authentication of data obtained from insecure mirrors. While security flaws in the MD5 algorithm have been uncovered, MD5 hashes are still useful when you trust the organization that produces them. The official page containing MD5 hashes for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu Xubuntu and Lubuntu is UbuntuHashes. Check the iso file Manual method md5sum ubuntu-11.10-dvd-i386.iso Semi-automatic method

100 of the Best (Useful) OpenSource Applications | Ubuntu Linux Help The following is a list of about 100 of the best OpenSource Applications, that actually help make Linux more usable for people. It is my hope that this list shows potential Linux users that there really is a large, effective, productive and usable range of free, OpenSource applications. The majority of these applications can be installed by either apt-get or synaptic, however I’ve included the web site addresses of these applications so that you can obtain more information. This list took a long time to put together and I tried to keep it in alphabetical order for you. – You might want to bookmark this and come back later. Enjoy!

compiz freeze [Archive] even5 September 23rd, 2012, 02:44 AM I see a compiz freeze (compiz cpu goes to 100%) whenever I log in using the "ubuntu" (i.e., unity 3D) window manager selection, and open a file with an editor. This is the sort of compiz freeze/hang where the mouse can be moved, but nothing can be selected, and the (kernel) is still reading keyboard keypresses. I am using a lemur ultra (lemu4). I then opened a file with vi in a terminal window, and compiz immediately hung. I believe one problem must be in compiz (which hangs), but there may be an underlying problem due to the graphics support on the lemu4 (since not everyone is having this problem). I can recover from the freeze by using ctl-alt-F1 to get to tty1, where I can kill the hung compiz (kill -9 pid) and restart using a service request to lightdm.

Liquorix Project My Effort at Writing Help for Unity I told the kind folks in #ubuntu-doc that I'd give it go, writing up some documentation for Unity. Here's a first draft of my best effort. I'm hopeful that the real pros at this can mine this material for making nice official documentation. I'm hoping that thay can cut and paste from here into their docs, or at least can edit the content to something they like, but maybe get going a little faster since there is something to change, rather than having to start fresh. I don't believe myself to be a particularly good writer, but, here without further a do ...

Ten Reasons to Dump Windows and Use Linux - PCWorld Business Center Now is a particularly good time to ditch Windows for good, for workstations as well as servers. For instance, now that Microsoft stopped supporting Windows Server 2003 on July 13, you'll need to find something different to use for your servers. Whether it's switching from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 or to Linux-based servers--or changing out tired and faulty Windows Vista desktops for the alien Windows 7 or something more user-friendly--Linux provides you with freedom and freedom of choice. You might believe that dumping Windows and switching to Linux is a difficult task, but the change in thought and the perception of that switch are the most difficult. Business owners find that Linux, for what was once a "niche" operating system, provides the necessary components and services on which many rely. 1. In the past, businesses used the lack of commercial support as the main reason for staying with Windows. 2. .NET Support 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. You may have heard that Linux is free. 8. 9. 10.
Como instalar Debian en cualquier sistema con Android | Página web de elmanytas Poder instalar una distribución con linux en un cacharrito de mano era algo que ya había hecho en otra ocasión. En aquel momento lo hice por cacharrear (si, me gasté 250€ para cacharrear, otros se los gastan en alcohol y no se les dice nada) pero ahora es por un tema bastante más práctico. ¿Porqué usar un sistema de escritorio en un móvil o un tablet? La batería de mi portátil ha muerto y antes de comprarla sin pensar le he dado vueltas al asunto y realmente necesitaría un tablet que en caso de necesidad pudiera usarlo como un PC. Del PC lo que uso normalmente es leer y escribir usando OpenOffice, usar el correo, usar el trac, el redmine, jugar a algún juego (¡me estoy convirtiendo en un usuario!), desarrollar scripts interpretados (python, perl, bash, ... ), conectarme por ssh a este mismo servidor (no, todavía no soy un usuario) ... aunque sea despacito. Es decir, en el fondo necesito un tablet con posibilidad de digievolucionarlo a PC malo conectándole pantalla, teclado y ratón. #!
