HELP!!!

I installed it in E: of my lappy...

mate please provide the complete error message and at what time are you getting that

I installed it in C drive and it works like a charm.

ya it works good and trust me this 8.04 is better than all other previous versions, Linux is not like windows where every new version is more messy and crappy then previous one

BTW: aa gayae aap admin ji

@ smoothy

Yeah... error is-

Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist

wot sud i do man???

p.s.- thanx vishnu again...

@ smoothy

I'm getting this message at the time of choosing kernel where there is a list of 5-6 modes...viz-

normal
safe graphics
etc
etc
etc
...

every mode brings same error...

sud i install it in C:?

yes you can try it in c: it will solve your problem but thats a temp resolution, will work on it again to get more details and just for once try to boot ubuntu again and keep pressing Insert button rapidly at boot, it will generate some information please check it or post it here.
Please make sure that you already don't have more than one installation of windows on your system, like win xp in c: and win 2000 or vista in d: or anything like that

Hope it will help you, please try and update

Ok.. I'll try it... But 1st lets do some research on this error 1... maybe google can help us...

smoothvibes i have attached the screen shot.Please have a look at it and explain i didn't get anything from it.

Congratulations to all who have successfully installed Ubuntu (Wubi).

Don't be satisfied with the features that you've got by default. The fun begins only when you use the exceptional out-of-the-box features. For example, AWN (Avant Windows Navigator) is a dock that provides mac-like dock. Again, don't be satisfied with its default features. There are plenty of customizations available in AWN that are not available in a mac dock.

Cheers!

guru in screenshot just check if your this mono out is Mix or not, if it is mic then make it mix.



If this is not working then we need terminal to fix this

first enable backports
go to
System>>Administration>>Software Sources

Enter password and change to the "updates" tab.

Check the box "Unsupported updates (hardy-backports)" and close the window.

It should then say that it needs to update the package lists, let it do this.

Open a terminal and enter the following.

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-generic

This will install a bunch of new modules, including new alsa stuff.

after this reboot and then try to check

Good Morning
I am going to sleep now :yawn:

Thanks a lot smoothvibes will check and reply..Have a good sleep

Hi smoothvibes,

Thank you for your concern. Do you have any applications that actually read the data from BSE/NSE and display the analysis/graph/future_predictions?

I did search the net and found few applications but all are very old and there are no updates for those softwares and there is no documentation about how to integrate those softwares with BSE/NSE. Any idea about those kind of softwares and their integration with indian share market?

Thanks in advance.

Pothi.

Hey guys... I reinstalled ubuntu on C: last night before going to sleep...it worked this time..

Now, I'm connected to my wi-fi network as well... but how do I create a dialer to connect to internet?

thanx..

p.s.- my modem/router is in bridged mode...

@RJ Did you installed Ubuntu in the same drive as Windows XP ?
I still have 3 hours to finish download.

yup... its on win xp drive... all the best!

Thanks!:14: Will tell you after installing. :laugh: 30 min to complete.

Okay. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi. Everything looks Ok. No errors. But when I restarted I got a message like this.

BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter ‘help’ for a list of built-in commands.

initramfs: _

Don't know what to do.

Help !!! :crying:

you can use this command in terminal
pppoeconf

it will take you to a wizard from there you can make it but as you said you are already using wifi then why are you looking for a dialer

I installed in the same Drive as XP and restarted. After restarting I clicked Ubuntu from the OS choice menu. Then an Orange loading bar appeared. After that I got this message.
