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

[topet2k12001]

as what i've said sir topet ,,i have already 3 partition......the only thing that i am worried about is thatinstalling this in another partition could damage the whole system or my whole files in different partition can be wipe out....is that true????

Pre pa cut in this might give you an idea.

Sa palagay ko kaya pa ng HDD ang isa pang Partition kung ayaw mo magalaw yung ibang partition sa hardrive mo.

before installing Ubuntu magset ka pa ng isa pang partition.just don,t format it yet.
you can do that in comp management if you're using win 7.

I think ang magiging problema mo ay pag hindi mo nagustuhan ang Ubuntu(like others,kasi nahihirapan sila)
pag ininstall mo kasi sya ng dual boot mag-iinstall sya ng GRUB which is a bootloader program.ngayon papatungan nito yung MBR(Master Boot Record) ng HDD mo.pag nagkaproblem kasi medyo mahirap mag recover especially on Ubuntu part.Importante dito young tutorial don sa 1st page para malaman mo ung right step in case na di mo magustuhan yung OS.don't worry about ur partition basta wag mo lang silang pakialaman during ur installation wala kang magiging problema dun......

so ang gagwin ko po ba ay gagawa pa ko ng isang partition so magkakaroon ako ng 4 partition..thanks po....cge po babasahin ko muna ulit ung sa first page.......thanks sa pag reply sa mga katanungan po.

pahabol po.....ang pc ko po is 64bit na my 512video card at 4gb ram...so kaya ba i install d2 ung 64t ng ubuntu or dapat ung recommended nila na 32 bit lng>

1. The only way that data will be "wiped out" in a multi-partitioned drive is when the user erroneously re-formats a partition that has contents. But as far as using partitions, no it is impossible to wipe out data from other/previous partitions (assuming of course you don't access the other partitions and delete the files). As long as that "extra" partition you plan to install another OS (3rd man siya or 4th, etc.) has no content/is empty, there is no need to worry about "wiping out data" from the partition where you have some contents (for example, Partition 1 is where your Windows OS is installed; Partition 2 is where all your data files are saved such as pictures/movies/videos/documents, etc.). That is the very purpose of partitioning: preventing data loss on other partitions by not having to touch them. In fact I do this a lot to my system. I install multiple Ubuntus in different partitions. This is so that one of them is my original Ubuntu, and the others are for experimentation (so that I don't have to worry if I crash that copy of Ubuntu - I will just wipe out the contents of that extra partition and I can start again, without affecting any of my official/original Operating Systems).

2. A hard drive can only contain 4 "Primary" partitions. But there is a way around this if you want more than 4 partitions. Just make sure that your 4th partition is an "Extended" partition. Once you have a "Extended" partition, you can create as many partitions inside it as you like (technically it is infinite; the only thing that limits the number of partitions in a logical partition is your disk space). The partitions that are created inside an "Extended" partition are called "Logical" partitions.

3. The nice thing about Ubuntu (versus Windows), is that you can still enjoy seeing and using all 4GB of your RAM even if you just use a 32-bit version. Use the 32-bit version. During the installation process (and if you're connected to the Internet during this stage), Ubuntu will install a special kind of Kernel called "PAE" (Physical Address Extension). This "feature" allows a 32-bit OS to be able to "see" and "use" 4GB of RAM and above. Compared to Windows where you have to install a 64-bit version just to achieve the same.

4. In Windows, the issue of not "seeing" and "using" all 4GB of RAM is not a limitation of the Windows OS. It's more of a proprietary/licensing thing/issue. You see, PAE is also available in Microsoft but regular end-users don't often get to use this (again because of the licensing). There are non-consumer versions of Microsoft that has the PAE feature enabled, and this is typically applicable on Server Editions of Microsoft Operating Systems.

In summary: partitioning itself, is safe. Data loss happens not because of partitiong; it happens because of human error.

Just a quick question:

Is there any way to see the Wi-Fi password in Ubuntu?

Just like in Windows.. Pwede mong ma-view yung character sa Wi-Fi password..

Sana pwede.. Salamat po!

Just to clarify: you want to see your password as you type it, or you want to crack another person's/owner's router password? If it's the first one, yes it's easy. There's a checkbox that you can tick so that you can see the password as you type. If it's the second, please visit Page 1. But I highly advise against doing this for stealing. I learned how to crack passwords using my own router.

sir topet may computer management software like cafesuite ba ang ubuntu?

Sorry, what is cafesuite?

 

[bugenhagen]

Sorry, what is cafesuite?

Kuya I think what he mean is a software that is use on a computer rental.

gagamitin nya siguro sa computer shop........

sir ang lupet lupet mo naman....sir ang ginawa ko muna to be safe is nag install ako ng wubi 11.04 na ang version..at my nbasa ako sa mga threads mo kung panu maging familiar dun sa mga application d2 sa ubuntu...so sir ung partition na gnamit ko sa wubi is 17gb kasi un na agad nkalagay so di ko na ginalaw..so pwede rin ba d2 sa wubi mag install ng ibat ibang apps para mging familiar tlga ako..at pg boot ko pla ng wubi lage my kasamang ubuntu recovery..normal ba un..pero pag kahit di ko i recovery is ok nman xa..nagwowork nman xa.pnu ku pla malalaman na connected ako through cable.kasi connected ako sa wireless pero di ko makita name nung sa wire cable connection ko?maraming salamat at maramaing hitting thanks sau

In a Wubi installation, it "appears" that you have installed Ubuntu in a separate partition, but technically you did not. What happens is that you allocate a huge disk space (17GB in your example) dedicated for Ubuntu. In essence and in technicality, Ubuntu is installed as if it were just another Windows app, that's why it can be removed through the Add/Remove Programs section of the Windows Control Panel.

A Wubi (Windows Universal Ubuntu Installer) method of installation is good for those who just want to try out Ubuntu. But in the long run, it will be best to do a permanent install (i.e. dedicated OS, dual- or multiple-boot OS, etc.).

Yes, you can use Ubuntu (Wubi-installed) as if it were a real installation of Ubuntu, i.e. you can download/install apps.

There is a Network Manager tool in Ubuntu (for your other question) that can show you details about your Internet Connectivity. Just play around and explore, you'll find it.

Ah okay. Sorry but I haven't seen that kind of app. What does it do? Manage time used in a computer for an Internet cafe, i.e. automatically logs a user off when the time expires?

sir topet .......salamat tlga sa mga kasagutan nio...gusto ko tong ubuntu dahil nga sa free xa at mga apps ay free din di na kailangan pakahirap pa maghanap ng mga cracks or keygen..so sa ngaun nga po my 3 partition ako di ko alam ung cnsavi niong extended partition xnxa na noob lng po ako...so ang partition ko ay ung C:win7 ko ,D:which is mga data ko such installers musics,videos.at ng huli ay ung A: which is clean format xa wala pang laman...gnawa ko to para i run tlga ang ubuntu...so anu version po ang ma i recommend niong versin ng ubuntu sakin..salamat tlga sa tyaga nio sumagot sa mga noob kong katanungan...hope later maging familiar ako d2 tulad lng ng pag gamit ko ng windows 7

Your partition setup is good enough.

As for the Ubuntu version...in my computer I have set up different partitions so that I have Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), Puppy Linux, and BackTrack5.

You can pretty much use any Ubuntu version you want; they are all pretty much the same. Just start with Ubuntu 10.04 when you are choosing.

Ubuntu has two (2) types of releases: Regular, and Long-Term Support (LTS) for short.

1. Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months: April and October. You will notice it in the version number. Example

Ubuntu 10.04 (2010, April - 4th month of the year)
Ubuntu 10.10 (2010, October - 10th month of the year)
Ubuntu 11.04 (2011, April - 4th month of the year)

2. As far as the name of the version, the format is "adjective; animal". Example:

Lucid Lynx (adjective; animal)
Maverick Meerkat (adjective; animal)
Natty Narwhal (adjective; animal)

3. Once every 2 years, an Ubuntu Release is considered as an LTS (Long-Term Support) version. Ubuntu 10.04 is an LTS release. Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 are regular releases. Please read through this link to understand the difference: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS

Sir bug, baka naman pwede mo kami iguide or make a tut if how exactly kung pano mo napagana ung realvpn sa ubuntu. Actually, im trying to work it out...problem ko kse di ko talaga makita ung ibang needed na config files na required para magwork like ung CA at KEY ng realvpn, Di ko makita mga yan after ko maextract ung portable client ng realvpn, ung .OVPN lang nandon at CERT. Salamat Sir.

 

[knightshoemack]

naku maraming salamat tlga sa mga info na yan..........cge sir iinstall ko na yang ubuntu sa drive A: which is 40GB.....nkakainis kasi ung DRive C kp 105 out of 160GB p free space nun pero pag nag shrink ako ay maximum 7gb lng ang pwede alisin para gumawa ng isa pang partition kaya napilitan na lng ako kumuha sa drive D: ng 40 GB.............320GB lng kasi and size ng buong hard drive ko..thanks sa lahat ng info.........try ko pong magbasa muna sa first page if mgkaproblema ako ky ubuntu ha.[ag di na kaya..mangungulit ulit ako d2 sir thanks tlga.....

Hi friend .. Im trying it now but I cant connect to both UDP and TCP ..
Here's the contents of my config file (UDP)

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote nl.real-vpn.com 1194
resolv-retry infinite
lport 53
persist-key
persist-tun
[B]ca /home/bushxd/RealVPN/realvpn.crt         
auth-user-pass /home/bushxd/RealVPN/pass.txt[/B]

route-method exe
route-delay 2
redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp
script-security 2 system
mute-replay-warnings
hand-window 120
persist-local-ip
float

Only the CA certficate and the config file were needed .. its included on the same folder together with your config files ..


btw .. Im currently connected to a vpn .. lol

Haha! It's the first one..

Just in case kasi na makalimutan ko yung password ng Wi-Fi, pwede ko ulit makita..

 

[bugenhagen]

salamat dito mga sir, laking tulong..

Ok yung kay Sir Terrible,

try mo rin yung other port

sakin perfect yung port:1194,500,443

Sensya na wala akong ScreenShots,Naka windows kasi me ngayon,nasira uli yung VideoCard ko....

That is the meaning of Ubuntu "Humanity for other's" SHARE SHARE lang.........thank you din sayo pre....

 

[topet2k12001]

Haha! It's the first one..

Just in case kasi na makalimutan ko yung password ng Wi-Fi, pwede ko ulit makita..

Ah okay.

1. Right-click on the network icon and select "Edit Connections".
2. A dialog box will open. You can manage your connections from here. There are separate tabs for Wired, Wireless, Mobile Broadband, etc.
3. Go to the tab for your wireless. Select your connection and click "Edit".
4. From there another dialog box will open. You will see some check boxes there: Automatically Connect, Apply to all Users, Show Password.

1. Port 443 is a port for secure connections (typically, these are websites that start with "https://" a.k.a. HyperText Transfer Protocol, Secure). The non-secure version is port 80 (http://, a.k.a. HyperText Transfer Protocol)
2. Port 1194 is a port for OpenVPN
3. Port 500 is also a port used for OpenVPN. It uses Key Management Protocol

Friend,

Sorry but I haven't been using FBT/UBT. I actually have my own ISP; I just created tutorials for FBT/UBT to serve as a foundation/groundwork for other FBT/UBT methods in Linux. So the tutorials in Page 1 cover the overall/general steps involved in configuring FBT/UBT in two ways: via GUI, and via Terminal. We do have members here who are actively using FBT/UBT, so you may want to check every now and then.

yo kuya hilig mo talagang magbasa thank for the advice...

kuya nakagamit ka na ba ng wineasio on 32bit ubuntu...I'm having some difficulties right now becuase i have switch to 10.04 to 10.10 and nalaman ko na wala palang kernel for realtime yung 10.10 but that's not the case.WINEASIO ang problema ko any good forum or Instructions under your sleeve?

Lol, yeah...sa kakabasa lang din naman ako natuto nitong Linux and other stuff that interests me.

I haen't used wineasio, I am more of a virtual machine user (VirtualBox) since my hardware specs can handle it. But here's something that may help you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/wineasio
