[TUTORIALS] Ubuntu (a Debian/GNU Linux Distribution)

opo sir .. pinatong ko lang ..
na solve ko na rin by deleting .kde directory sa home folder ko ..

ang prob ko ngayon ... pag naglog out ako .. black screen lang sya ... nid ko pang i force shutdown ung pc ...
nung dating karmic pa to .. i installed kde .. oks naman .. then i upgrade to lucid .. un naging ganun na ...

Naku. Tama ang hinala ko (unfortunately)...

Yan ang reason kung bakit tuwing may nagpapatulong, nagpo-probe (nagtatanong) muna ako ng mga details. Kasi pag nag-assume agad ako and bumanat ako ng solution nang hindi nagtatanong, maaaring may mangyari na hindi maganda. Pero okay lang, kaya pang i-solve yan.

To explain: kaya ko tinanong kung "patong" method or "solo" method is....kung gagawin mo yung solution na "delete ~/ .kde folder" na kung saan "patong" method ang install mo, madadamay yung ibang *buntu (which is nangyari na nga). Ang balak kong i-suggest sana ay mag-create ka lang ng bagong username, and then delete mo yung old username.

Sa chat tayo, add mo ako sa YM (topet2k12001) para i-solve natin.

Hi Friend,

Tar ball ang tawag diyan. Yan ang katumbas ng .rar or .zip file sa windows.

In Ubuntu, installing applications using that method is not the new method, as well as not being a user-friendly method. Linux has been made so user-friendly at this age and time na halos parang Windows na lang...just "point-and-click" your mouse and you're good to go. Matanong ko lang...anong application ba ang balak mong ma-install at nagda-download ka ng tar ball? Baka naman kasi nasa Ubuntu Software Center naman yan..."point-and-click" lang solve na ang problem mo.

EDIT:

Assuming the application you plan to download via tar ball is also available in the Software Center, installing an application via Software Center or tar ball produce the same results. Pareho lang sila. So no need na magpakahirap na mag-tar ball. Again, yun ay kung ang application ay available sa Ubuntu Software Center.

Tungkol naman sa isa mong problem, bale ang ginagawa mo is nauna mong ma-install ang Ubuntu, and then pangalawa yung Windows, tama? May existing guide na para diyan, eto po: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Installing Windows After Ubuntu. Para mas specific, eto ang puntahan mo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD

ung file na ms-sys-2.2.0.tar.gz, Linux program for writing Microsoft compatible boot records.

ung file na ms-sys-2.2.0.tar.gz, Linux program for writing Microsoft compatible boot records.

Okay, got it. 32-bit ba or 64-bit ang balak mo? Achaka may .deb version niyan, mas madali ang kung ang ida-download mong file ay yung may .deb na extension. Bale ganito ang analogy:

Windows = .zip or .rar....Linux = .tar.gz. Mahirap na method ito. Para kang nag-uncompress ng zip file gamit ang DOS command prompt (actually ganito ang method dati bago nagkaroon ng winzip).
Windows = .exe or .msi....Linux = .deb. Mas madali. Para kang nag-run lang ng installer ng game sa Windows.

Pagkatapos i-download ang .deb, i-open (or run) mo siya. Ganito ang makikita mo:

Click mo lang yung "Install Package".

Based sa description ng file...parang ang ginagawa nito is to fix your Master Boot Record...try mo muna yung binigay kong link kanina.

Oops nakalimutan ko ibigay yung location kung saan puwede i-download ang file: https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/lucidtest/+build/1749023/+files/ms-sys_2.2.0~lffl~lucid~ppa_i386.deb

WOW sipag ni boss topet2k12001!!! I would like to start something different.. how about...

What is your Favorite Linux Games?... it should be available in the Software Center for easy installation.. if not then perhaps a link and how to install it! Ayos ba mga tsong at tsang?

1. Trigger-Rally - My favorite game for Linux and number one my list is Trigger I am a Number 1 Fan of WRC so driving a Rally Car is one of my dream.

2. OpenTyrian
- is like an Arcade-style vertical scrolling shooter I remember playing this game at SM Sta Mesa if my memory serves me right!

3. AstroMenace - Hardcore 3D space shooter with spaceship upgrade possibilities - eto astig 'to sarap pampaubos ng Oras!

4. Tribal Trouble - Not Available on Software but can be downloaded HERE may bayad ito pero very minimal lang pero masarap din pang-ubos ng oras! hahaha

5. warsow - this is my 13 years old sons favorite!

6. Childsplay - ito naman ang favorite ng 6 years old daughter ko!

7. Go Ollie - another Linux game na fave ng daughter ko! hehehe

8. Supertuxkart - my favorite kapag nagsawa na sa Trigger-rally!

9. Secret Maryo Chronicles - based on the Classic Super Mario Game.. kaka-addict ito! hahaha and this can be downloaded right HERE installation is very easy because they have .deb file for Ubuntu based Linux Distro!


... so far ito pa lang ang naka-install na tried and tested Linux Games on our trusty old laptop!

One of my favorite games in Linux is FretsOnFire, it is a guitar hero like. I love to play Metalica on it.

p.s: nadiscover ko yung (Chromium B.S.U - high action scrolling space shooter)kahapon baka gusto nyong subukan


@topet2k12001 keep up the goodwork sir.

Ah oo nalaro ko rin yan minsan. Pero Stepmania ang favorite ko. Yung Chromium BSU masyadong mabilis para sa akin. Dahil siguro sa processor ng computer ko, lolz...

installing tar.gz ba kamo?.. ganito ang pinaka-simpleng paraan na alam ko.. unpack/extract mo muna yung tar.gz na dinownload mo sa desktop, tapos open ka ng terminal type mo

sudo nautilus

it will be asking for your password and please be careful because it will open your file manager under root you don't want to be deleting important files and folders here!, then navigate to file system usr>lib folder tapos drag and drop nyo yung folder na in-extract nyo inside lib folder then close it, to create a launcher on desktop, right click anywhere on desktop tapos click on create launcher then name the Application and on the command box click browse and navigate to the folder path filesystem>usr>lib>name of the folder then choose the click on the name of your apps!.. that's about it!.. you may use your own icon of choice on the icon launcher apps

Hi Arvin,

Madali lang talagang i-extract ang tar ball dahil parang .zip or .rar file lang siya. Ang mahirap na part is to build the extracted files from source. Compared to .deb files na parang .exe file lang, kumbaga sa Windows i-click mo lang ang .exe mag-install na siya. Kaya as much as possible ang pinapahanap ko is sa Ubuntu Software Center muna. Pag wala, .deb naman. Last resort na lang yung tar ball...isa pang problem ng tar ball, it doesn't tell you if you need dependent files. It assumes na alam mo kung kailangan mong mag-download ng dependent files and alam kung saan kukunin. Sa .deb naman, since GUI-based siya, it will tell you if the file you are installing has dependent files and it tells you kung anu-ano yung mga files na yun. The best thing is, if you are connected to the Internet, when you install a .deb file that requires dependent files it will automatically find them and install them as well for you.

One example of .deb usage was when we helped gineanne set up WINE. http://www.symbianize.com/showpost.php?p=3937378&postcount=947. As we can see, sasabihin agad ng .deb Installer (Gdebi ang name ng installer na ito) kung may kulang na files, and kung ano yung names ng files.

after ko kc ma unpack need pa ma compile ung file..

ganito kc maki2ta sa installation nya:

Installation:
Step 1, unpack the archive: tar -xzvf ms-sys*.tgz
Step 2, compile: cd ms-sys make
Step 3, become root and install su (and give password) make install.

Exactly, yan ang hassle sa tar ball. Mano-mano yan. Check mo yung post sa taas (with pictures), makikita mong mas madali pag .deb ang dina-download.

ah.. ok I thought someone was just interested on how to install .tar.gz file on ubuntu.. pero I agree with you it is better to install apps from the Software Center, madali din syang i-uninstall

YEAH Chromium B.S.U is a very cool game too! hehehe kaka-install ko lang din thanks for the info! ...

FretsOnFire?.. hehehe.. parang gitara? I use to play for a Heavy Metal band during my College days pero I play the Drums!.. pero mukhang masaya 'to!

Nakakabobo, or nabobobo?

So, nag-insert ba yung friend mo ng Boot CD ng Windows niya? Kasi ang next step dun, pupunta siya sa Recovery Console para i-repair ang bootloader and then restart and then tapos na.

EDIT:

Kung masyadong "peanuts" para sa kanya ang Ubuntu, puwede rin niyang i-repair gamit ang medyo complicated na method para naman may konting challenge: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708. Actually nasa Page 1 ng thread na ito ang link na yan, pa-search na lang po.
Finally, it could be a hardware issue (bad/corrupted CD, motherboard, or cables): http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1878326.php
Tingnan mo dito, friend...nung pinalitan niya yung CPU niya, naayos na ang problem. http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=896927&page=1

Friend, Genuine ba ang CD niya? Achaka wala pa bang gasgas? Might want to check that as well.

@shogun103 - hahaha nakakabobo daw ba ang ubuntu?!.. well siguro mas maganda na bigyan mo sya ng option to dual-boot windows with ubuntu if he or she is still interested TO LEARN or overcome the challenges he or she is facing with Linux, or if he or she prefers to deal with Windows issue caused by those pesky Viruses!

@swordfish08 - may ganun bang option?.. I mean baguhin yung mouse speed sa Chromium B.S.U?.. hehehe di ko nakita yun ah!
