Planet Ubuntu -

pI have used Ubuntu exclusively for almost 2 years now. In that time I have very rarely had contact
with other distros. The only exception being spending about half an hour in Fedora 8 or 9, quite
liking it and never getting round to making a partition to dual boot between it and Ubuntu. But
with the release of both Fedora 10 and VMWare 6.5, what better time is there to check out the
latest release from the Fedora team?/p pI grabbed the Live CD ISO from the Fedora site, which
auto-located the nearest mirror to me and it downloaded pretty quickly. The installation process
was incredibly simple. The LiveCD booted straight into a graphical interface, where you could setup
things like Language and Keyboard layout. This is a refreshing change from Ubuntu, where you are
dumped into a #8220;grub#8221; style keyboard interface to setup keyboard/language by pressing
funny key combinations and using ugly text menus. Once I had changed my keyboard/language from US
to UK I was presented with a nice (very blue) GNOME desktop. An #8220;Install to hard drive#8221;
shortcut was neatly placed on the desktop to get the installation properly started. The actual
installer (called Anaconda) is very like Ubuntu#8217;s Ubiquity. It goes through most of the same
steps, in roughly the same order (and does the same job). Partitioning was a breeze and it even
included an #8220;Encrypt my hard drive#8221; check-box, which was a cool little feature.At the end
of the main installation process, it told me to reboot, without giving me a reboot button or
telling me how to reboot. It#8217;s just a little cosmetic issue, but it could be quite confusing
for new users, who don#8217;t have a clue how the GNOME interface works./p pOn first boot I was
presented with a #8220;Setup Agent#8221;. This tool lets you setup your user account and your
timezone (which, quite confusingly, was also done in the first part of the installation). Both of
these functions are handled prior to the actual installation in Ubuntu, which seems a bit more
#8220;streamlined#8221; and didn#8217;t make you waste time on your first boot./p pAfter exiting
the Setup Agent, I was dumped straight into a GNOME desktop. Fedora is often heralded as one of the
best looking distros around, but to be honest, I cant really see why. The default background is
incredibly blue and looks like it is supposed to be a sun, with some solar flares coming out of it
but it looks more like a stock picture of a moon, with some dodgy GIMP effects laid on top of it.
The default window theme is OK (it is also very blue), but the buttons on the right hand side just
don#8217;t look like they #8220;belong#8221; there and really stick out from the rest of the panel,
which is pretty distracting./p pInstalling software is also very easy. A simple add/remove software
tool is included in the System menu which lets you search the repositories, which I found to be
quite small and not have some of the software I rely on daily such as Flash, VLC and Terminator
(ok, Terminator is quite a small project, but VLC!). You simply search for the package you want to
install, hit the installation button and it will go away and do it for you. The package-kit based
installation dialog is very simple (it basically just says #8220;I am installing your selected
packages now#8221; or #8220;I am resolving dependencies now#8221;), which some people may like, but
I like to know what is going on when I am installing stuff. Some people might not notice this, but
after using apt-get and synaptic for a few years, you get used to being told absolutely everything
that is going on./p pThe update manager is also very easy to use. Its #8220;these are your
updates#8221; screen is brilliant as it groups them into Bug Fixes, Enhancements and Security
updates, each with their own big shiny icon, which looks absolutely great. I would be very happy if
Ubuntu had something similar./p pGenerally the distro is very easy to use. The preferences menus
are grouped into little sections like #8220;Look and Feel#8221; and #8220;Internet and
Networking#8221;, which makes it a lot easier to find a setting dialog than in Ubuntu#8217;s
monolithic list. The distro is also mostly bug free, but I did notice that the keyboard options I
set during installation were not kept when I rebooted, so I was stuck with a US keyboard until I
worked out how to use the (quite confusing) keyboard layout selection dialog./p pAll in all, I am
very impressed with Fedora. I don#8217;t think I will be giving up my Ubuntu yet (being an Ubuntu
contributor, I would find it hard to keep up my contributions to Ubuntu while using another
distro), but I would be happy to recommend it to people who are thinking of switching from Windows
or Mac OS. If Mark Shuttleworth suddenly decided he wanted to invest in something else and Ubuntu
fell apart, I would happily make the switch to Fedora./p

Hello,
I just made a partition on my mac (using bootcamp) to put on an XP partition. Everything went fine,
and the partition showed up in my Mac finder. After doing all the relevant installs under Windows,
I decided to go back to the Mac and continue it under Fusion. I've done this before on an old mac,
so assumed VMware would just load up my bootcamp partition.
It didn't. Instead I got a message saying, "The virtual machine appears to be in use."
It isn't. Now my bootcamp partition, and portable hard drive are refusing to mount in the Mac.
They've been formatted in NTFS, which I've never had a problem with. As my understanding the Mac
can mount NTFS drives it just cannot write to them. I've installed NTFS for Mac, and that cured
that in the past, but I've never not been able to mount the drives. Any thoughts?
Also VMware still thinks the virtual machine is in use, even though the windows drive isn't even
mounted..
Very annoyed! It's times like these when as a Windows user I would just format and start again..
Not looking forward to that prospect.

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.5, and the version of bootcamp that came preinstalled
on the Mac is 2.0. Using bootcamp I was able to partition the drive and successfully install Vista,
the only problem is that 3 items failed to install correctly (all 3 are listed in device manager
with yellow exclamation!!) They are:
1. Ethernet controller (ethernet card)
2. Network controller (wireless....i think)
3. Isight (camera)
I attempted to create a driver disk, but bootcamp assistant does not offer that ability (although i
read it did........if I access bootcamp via utilities it only offers 2 choices, none of which have
anything to do with creating a vista drivers disk)
I'd like to get all 3 items installed properly
If anyone can offer some insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I asked this question the other day, but apparently not precise enough.
I do NOT want to "convert" my Boot Camp installation to a virtual one. I want to know if ONE
installation in Boot Camp can be CONTINUED to be used by booting via Boot Camp, while also when I
am using OS X, log into it virtually?
So, I do not want to convert it over and lose the capability to log in via boot camp. A couple of
days per month I need to primarily use Windows for a client. Those days I want to login to Boot
Camp and use Windows. On the other days, I want to be able to use Windows via virtual access. As I
may need to randomly access a Windows program but will use OS X Leopard the vast majority of work
days.
Can I do this? Or, do I need two separate Windows installations, one in boot camp partition and one
in virtual partition? Also, same thing for Office Pro 2007 in Windows??? Reinstall for both
partitions required? Allowed? Possible? Do I need separate Windows keys and licenses?
Thanks for all assistance. I am trying to ensure best of both worlds here. As I am fortunate enough
to use Leopard 28 days of the month and need Windows only a couple of days. But, would like
flexibility to use Windows either via Boot Camp or via Virtual installation from Leopard.
Happy Holidays.

Parceque son Packard Bell montre des signes de fatigues, ma Loulloute a décider d'investir
dans une nouvelle machine. Très attirée par les netbooks pour leurs faible
coût et leur encombrement réduit, elle veux tout de même garder Ubuntu... Elle
a donc choisi un Asus EeePc 1000HÂ : un écran de 10 pouces, un disque dur bien
fourni et une autonomie d'environ 4h... Je vais détailler ici la procédure
d'installation de notre distribution préférée version 8.10 sur cette petite
machine
Création d'une carte SD Bootable
Cette machine est dépourvue de lecteur optique, et je n'ai pas mon graveur externe sous la
main... Qu'a cela ne tienne, ce PC est doté en standard d'un lecteur de carte SD, et j'en
ai justement une sous la main. A partir de mon macbook (lui aussi sous Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex) et
grâce au créateur de clef USB bootable intégré au système
(menu Système > Administration > Create an USB Startup disk).
Il faut tout de même disposer d'une image CD de la version d'Ubuntu que nous voulons installer sur notre EeePC. On
lance le créateur de clé Bootable, saisissons notre mot de passe et cette
fenêtre apparait à l'écran :
- Cliquons sur other pour choisir l'images disque que nous voulons transférer sur la
carte.
- Vérifions bien que le media destination soit bien notre carte SD (ou notre clé
USB).
- Choisissons "Discarded..." pour ne pas créer d'espace de stockage pour un utilisateur
sur la carte.
- Validons le tout en cliquant sur "Make Startup Disk"
Attendons cinq bonnes minutes, le temps que le programme finisse notre carte SD bootable...
Installation d'Intrepid Ibex sur notre EeePC
Il suffit de mettre notre carte SD dans le logement prévu à cet effet sur la
tranche droite; de la machine, démarrons la machine et appuyons de suite sur F2 pour
rentrer dans le bios afin de choisir le lecteur de carte SD comme périphérique de
boot.
Nous pouvons alors commencer l'installation normalement. Personnellement, j'ai choisi de diviser
mon disque en 3 partitions :
- Une particion racine de 10 Go
- Une partition "swap" de 1,5 Go
- Le reste pour la partition /home
Installation du noyau optimisé
Une fois Ubuntu installé, beaucoup de choses ne fonctionnent pas : le wifi,
les touches spéciales, la gestion avancée de l'énergie. Il existe un noyau
spécialement conçu pour les EeePc, il est disponible sur le dépôt
array.org. Nous allons les rajouter,
ouvrons un terminal, puis commençons par télécharger en tapant dans notre
terminal :
wget http://www.array.org/ubuntu/array-intrepid.list
ajoutons ce dépot à notre liste :
sudo mv -v array-intrepid.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
Il nous faut enfin récupérer la clé d'authentification du dépôt
array :
wget http://www.array.org/ubuntu/array-apt-key.asc
Puis :
sudo apt-key add array-apt-key.asc
Pour finir, mettons à jour la liste des paquets disponible grâce à la
commande :
sudo apt-get update
Nous somme maintenant prêt à installer le noyau eeepc.
sudo apt-get install linux-eeepc
Une fois l'installation terminée, il faut enlever le noyau "generic" qui ne nous sert plus
à rien :
sudo apt-get remove linux-.*-generic
La désinstallation terminée, nous pouvons redémarrer notre EeePC...
Tout ne fonctionne pas encore : il nous faut eee-control
Une fois le pc redémarré, le wifi fonctionne ainsi quue les touches de volume et de
luminosité. Mais celles pour activer/désactivé wifi, de fonction (en
haut à gauche au dessus du clavier) restent inopérantes, et le ventilateur
à tendance à s'emballer légèrement. Toujours sur le
dépôt array.org, il existe un petit utilitaire nommé eee-control. Pour
l'installer, rien de plus simple, ouvrons un terminal (oui, toujours et encore...) et entrons la
commande suivant :
sudo apt-get install eee-control
Une fois le paquet installé, il faut lancer l'applet eee-control-tray au démarrage
de notre session gnome. Il suffit pour ça d'aller dans le menu Système >
Préférence > Session Dans la fenêtre qui apparaît, cliquons sur
le bouton Ajouter :
- Dans nom, mettons par exemple Gestion Eepc
- Dans commande, il faut mettre eee-control-tray
- Dand commentaire, mettons par exemple Applet de gestion EeePc
Redémarrons la session avec Ctrl+Alt+Retour Arrière pour que les changements soient
effectifs. Une icône Eee à côté de celle du Network Manager (sur la
barre du haut à droite). Maintenant, la combinaison fn+F2 désactive le wifi...
Un clic gauche sur cette icône permet d'activer la camera, le bluetooth, le wifi ou le
lecteur de carte DS. Un clic droit permet de la paramétrer(définir les touches
personnalisée, etc... ), d'avoir accès à la température du
processeur et la vitesse du ventilateur.
Régler eee-control
Nous allons maintenant paramétrer plus finement notre applet : gérer les 4 touches
raccourcis en haut gauche du clavier, être averti lorsque l'on active le wifi, le
bluetooth... Cliquons avec le bouton droit sur l'icône Eee puis
Préférence :
- Dans les zones Fn-F7/Fn-F8/Fn-F9, choisissons des actions attaché à ces
combinaisons de touches. Nous pouvons choisir des actions déjà établies
(toggle-bluetooth, toogle-camera...) ou mettre le nom d'une commande à effectuer
(gnome-system-monitor ou firefox par exemple).
- Les zones Hotkey 1/Hotkey 2/Hotkey 3/Hotkey 4 correspondent aux 4 touches en haut à
gauche du clavier, elle se paramètrent comme ci-dessus.
- Notification permet d'activer les avertissement d'activation/désactivation pour les
éléments sélectionnés/
-
Set Performance to powersave on battery n'a pas l'air fonctionnel sur le EeePc 1000h.
-
Smart Fan Control permet de résoudre le problème du ventilateur qui ne
s'arrête pas.
Voir le verrouillage maguscule
Petit défaut de notre EeePC : il n'y a pas de témoin lumineux pour le verrouillage
majuscule. Pour corriger le problème, il suffit d'installer une petite applet qui se
glisse sur un tableaux de bord Gnome : lock_leys-applet. Ouvrons encore une fois un terminal et
tapons-y :
sudo apt-get install lock-keys-applet
Pour l'ajouter, faisons un clic droit sur un de nos tableaux Gnome > ajouter au tableau de
bord > Lock Keys. Veille du disque dur
Sur certain notebook (et certain EeePc) , la gestion de l'énergie pour le disque
dur est très mal gérée, conséquence : les têtes de
lectures/écriture se parquent trop souvent, le disque voit son espérance de vie
très réduite. Le diagnostic est simple : si nous entendons le disque dur de notre
ordinateur faire des clic relativement régulièrement (je ne parles pas de
l'habituel grattage lorsque nous écrivons, lisons sur celui-ci). Pour régler
le soucis, ouvrons le terminal et rentrons la commande suivante :
sudo hdparm -B 200 /dev/sda && echo -e '#!/bin/shnhdparm -B 200 /dev/sda' >
/tmp/99-hdd-spin-fix.sh && for i in start suspend resume; do sudo install
/tmp/99-hdd-spin-fix.sh /etc/acpi/$i.d; done Conclusion
Et voilà un Eeepc 1000h sous Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex fonctionnant parfaitement : Bluetooth,
Wifi, touches spéciales... Pour rédiger cet article, j'ai trouvé les

Crazy I know, but hear me out im wondering if its possible to install windows Vista on an Imac as
the MAIN OS.. and from within that OS have a VMWARE partition that has OSX installed.
I know some are askign WHY oh WHY would you even do that, just dual boot and I understand. Im
asking IF it would work?
if not VMWARE does anything else allow it? Should work as its NATIVE Apple hardware..

fsarchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of a filesystem to a compressed
archive file. The filesystem can be restored on a partition that has a different size, and it can
be restored on a different filesystem. Unlike tar/dar, fsarchiver also creates the filesystem when
it extracts the data to partitions. Everything is checksummed in the archive in order to protect
the data. If the archive is corrupt, you just lose the current file, not the whole archive. pa

I used to keep my iTunes library stored on a partition on an external drive, but have moved my
library over to the internal drive of my new macbook.
I now have 30Gb on my external drive that I'd like to re-allocate to other media storage and Time
Machine. Is it simply a matter of erasing my former music partition and creating "free" space,
which I can then use the sliders in Disk Utility to expand my media and TM partitions?
