Thread: Ubuntu Installation Doubts

Ok People just made a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.10

Please answer [Ubuntu users ] my Every single Doubt

1) I installed Ubuntu in an 80Gb hard disk [empty] ....... I had 3 partitions .... Partitioned as I=20GB[empty] , J=30GB[empty] , k=30GB [empty] ......[approx measure]

Now i come to windows and see that it shows I=20GB [empty], j=30GB[empty],k=3 GB![empty]

Has My K drive been turned into the root for Ubuntu ? [ and y is it not shown in Windows (in its original size)?]


2) How do i use my sify client for Ubuntu 8.10 so i can connect to internet thru Ubuntu?


3) Where can i find graphics driver of NVIDIA for ubuntu 8.10 ?


4)When i try to open any other partitions in ubuntu it seems to ask for authentication ? Am i not suppose to use the other partitions when using Ubuntu ?

I will try.

1. Ubuntu installation wont be visible in Windows XP. You can view it in Partition Manger software as 'Linux ext3'

3. System -> Administration -> Hardware Driver. And select the recommended driver and activate (net connection should be active).

4. NTFS partition right ? For that open Add/Remove. And search for NTFS configuration tool. Select it. Apply it to install.

Note: 3rd party packages must be enabled in System -> Administration -> Software sources.

Ok Ok I ll try them now .......

looks like am gonna have huge problem with Sify Dialer in Ubuntu

You can install 'Wine' to run some windows applications. For instructions. www.winehq.org/site/download-deb.

Checking

change directory....i think ur new to linux/ubuntu

Not there in their site

If the above one fails.....then try this procedure..

download sifyclient other dependencies from http://202.144.65.70:8090/.

You need to have alien before hand

TO download alien type "sudo apt-get install alien"

Then by alien convert the rpm packages into deb

Download the tar.gz file form http://202.144.65.70:8090/

then go to terminal

type tar -xvf sify_bbclient-3.0.tar

go to terminal

there navigate to the folder to which it is extracted
For instance you have done it on the Desktop

Then

open terminal

Type
1) "cd Desktop"
2) "cd sify_bbclient-3.0"
3) "sudo ./install.sh"


This will install the client

Then type in "sifyconnect"

and this will start the sify client
