ok... i'l just install it in virtual pc and look around in it... haven't really found out all the features yet...

i got the solution on the ubuntu site itself https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats

Man it was a tedious task... i think i'm just wasting my time .... still i cudnt get vmadditions running so that it wud perform a bit better... hopefully it will also install after 45mins...

Well, so till now i learnt that u can install apps quickly by the synaptic package manager..


so i guess all apps available for linux are available thru this manager??

Guys I don't know why it happens with me again n again... My internet connection isn't working again on ubuntu...

Code:

sudo pon dsl-provider

was working till yesterday... now its not!

Code:

sudo pppoeconf

gives me following error after scanning my lan and wi-fi adapters...

Another problem that i'm havin is that ubuntu sometimes starts off and sometimes just gives a blank screen after loaidng up... Even if i switched acpi off then too i was unable to get to the desktop tonite, then i switchec to safe graphics mode then i cud make it into it...

and another weird thing is that it lists my c: in my computer to be 21 GB media and not the normal drive names for all other of my drives... has this got to do with the behaviour?

And now when i booted again i booted into ubuntu without even modifying a single option!!
The full effects are simply amazing!!! They use so less resources and are so smooth!!

The only difference was that i switched off my reliance wimax antenna before booting up... m even more confused now... hehe... i'll now look around in this wonderful os before i try rebooting again to see what happens...
