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

[romski]

magandang hapon po,

newbie po ako sa dito,

ask ko lang po naginstall ako ng ubuntu tas napakatagal ko sa "retrieving file 12 of 45" ano kayang problema dito? cd nga pala gamit ko ayaw kase magboot sa usb,

another Q: need ba ng internet para sa pagiinstall nito?

at final Q: safe ba itong software para if ever meron raid ng omb/papt ay ibbypass na nila ako?

while installation kase meron option na ubuntu+microsoft office? kaya curious ako..

TIA

welcome po dito.


internet is not a prerequisite in installing ubuntu. its your choice if you want to connect to internet while installing - at dahil connected ka, automatically dinadownload niya ang mga updates ng ubuntu. you can disconnect the internet para matapos yung installation. you can update after installing ubuntu na.

Ubuntu is a FOSS. Free and Open Source Software. You can do anything you want to this software.

sa installation na merong ubuntu + office? di ko yan naexperience.

Having an active Internet connection during the installation process is not required, but recommended. This is because there may be hardware na kung saan wala sa CD/USB installer ang mga drivers.

While it is true that you can install drivers after installation, recommended na during installation ay nag-iinstall/download na rin ng drivers si Ubuntu.

So yun po ang isa (sa maraming) sa mga possible causes ng problem mo about:

1. Screen blanking/showing only black background on reboot
2. No sound

There is also a bug filed against that particular motherboard, relating to sound. Google lang ninyo. Ito ang nakita ko:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/858927
http://markmail.org/message/di7p54qn3ns3lnf4

However, yung mga bugs na yan ay sa mga older versions ng Ubuntu...not sure kung fixed na ang mga issues na yan sa latest version (Ubuntu 12.04). Based kasi sa link na ito, may drivers naman for Ubuntu 12.04 for sound para sa motherboard na yan eh: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=057e3ff7f2652599c63fcd838741a0373b5443de

Here's another good link pero for video naman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1847442

It's possible na okay naman ang video card mo and the driver. Pero baka correction/adjustment lang ng screen resolution ang kailangan. Please check Page 1 of this thread, if I remember correctly may nakapag-post na about that problem of yours.

So at this point, since installed na siguro ang Ubuntu ninyo, connect to the Internet and run an Update. Sa Ubuntu, Update Manager ang tawag dito (kumbaga eh Windows Update sa usaping Microsoft).

Yung blank screen actually negligible yun. In fact, in the case where the Ubuntu Splash screen (yung purple na "Ubuntu" screen) is working properly, if a user presses on the "Esc" key mag-change yun to black. Minsan sadyang gusto yun ng ibang users para makita nila ang nangyayari while the system is booting.

Regarding video card drivers for NVIDIA, I would suggest going to Page 1. May method po wherein mag-add tayo ng online repository (repository = parang bodega or warehouse) na ang laman nun is mga driver ng NVIDIA. X-Swat ang name ng online repository nun (minsan "PPA" ang tawag nila sa online repository).

 

[drupin]

regarding with the bold statement I quoted from you,
kakaexperience ko lang nyan tol. kaso di ko na tinandaan yung process ko kasi di pa naman final (eh).

as far as I can remember, gumamit ako ng installer ng 7 at binoot ko hanggang dun sa startup repair, tapos pasok ako sa command prompt. may inenter ako dun, pero di ko na matandaan. it was something to do with MBR. after that, I restarted and voila! I directly booted in Windows 7. Yep, you heard it right. Directly. So after that MBR fix, yung Ubuntu, especifically yung grub na naman ang wala. Ewan kung ano na ginawa dun, parang nagreinstall na lang ata ako sa ubuntu nun.. kaya til now (from last 3 days na naformat ko to), ito na,, and this is final.

pero windows muna ako ngayon na week, kasi nanonood pa ako ng The International 2. wala pa nga ako nagalaw sa system ng ubuntu, pwera sa grub na something I did manually for my own.



UPDATE:
This was what I did on that case.
CLICK HERE
just don't go beyond "Replacing the Windows XP Bootloader with Windows 7"



nagmamadali na kasi akong magformat para sa The International 2 kaya wala na akong ginawang further fixation.


nagbabakasakali lang po Sir Topet, baka may maitulong ang little information na yan.

Yes, you can uninstall Ubuntu. But if your intention is just to check kung safe ang mga files under Windows, hindi naman kailangang i-uninstall ng Ubuntu. You can check naman from Ubuntu via File Manager kung intact ang Windows files ninyo.

Or, ang intention ba ninyo is to check kung mag-boot yung Windows after uninstalling/removing Ubuntu? If so, the answer is "no". May kailangang po kayong gawin para mag-boot ang Windows after removing Ubuntu...which is yung steps na nabanggit ni romski (and incidentally, may ganyan na po tayo mismo sa Page 1 ng thread).



Yup those are the steps. Meron na po tayo niyan, sa Page 1 ng thread. http://www.symbianize.com/showpost.php?p=4214748&postcount=1784

Friends,

My suggestion is for you to learn how to install GRUB in a dedicated partition (see Page 1: http://www.symbianize.com/showpost.php?p=4224426&postcount=1846). This way, hindi na kayo ma-hassle tuwing nag-remove kayo ng isang OS sa isang dual- or multi-boot configuration.

yeap, meron na po sa first page niyan, and I am really grateful for those TUTs sir topet. what I just did was to learn my own way (with the help of googling and those english language TUTs). Pero kung di ko na talaga kaya eh, dito talaga ako. Yung sa grub2 nga po sir Topet, I'm trying to study about it more technical. Also in reality, before I am googling outside, I am making sure na meron na dito na TUT para kung sakaling sumakit ulo ko, takbo agad dito, tsaka para may helpful guide.

No worries, walang masama mag-share. Tama ang ginawa ninyo sa pag-research.

Actually yung tutorial ko sa "installing GRUB 2 in a dedicated partition" medyo "difficult/manual" approach pa yun...recently may mga nag-develop na ng GUI app para sa ganyan so mas madali na siyang gawin. Pati pang-restore/repair ng GRUB may GUI app na rin. Just boot up your computer via Live USB...Boot Repair ang pangalan ng app.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

I would suggest kay Drupin to try this also before deciding to remove Ubuntu. Sayang din ang effort kasi sa pag-install (lalo na kung naka-enable na Install Updates while installing).

mga bossing sa help niyo. Actually sinubukan ko irepair yung mbr ng windows 7 ko kaso naka ultimate kasi ako eh ang nahiram ko sa kuya ko professional kaya nagka loko loko na.
Naglog na lang ulit ako sa Ubuntu gamit yung live disc tapos back up files then reformat pc ahaha.
Pero maraming salamat pa din po sa tulong niyo

Mga sir, ask ko lang po if pano ako makakapag run ng script (Python Script) automatically after kong mag open ng browser? The script is supposed to add a user in the terminal.

Meron na po akong script. Pero after nun, how can I bind it with the browser? I do get this idea that it should be configured sa pref.js ng browser. Tama po ba? or is there other ways?

Nice share ts. Thanks!

ts baka may bayanihan linux kayo jan? badly needed po pls

You may want to try visiting the Linux Programming Thread.

Medyo dead na ito and no longer maintained. It also contains older versions of OS components. Is there any reason why you want to use this?

Nice info... thanks for this

Nice share ts. Thanks!

Glad you liked it.

salamat sir topet!

iprepresent po namin to yung bayanihan linux sa school. Project po. iT student po ako. Project ko to sa subject naming OS.

I see. Hindi na kasi siya maintained, so yung mga packages, apps, OS Components lahat luma na. Mga up to 2009 lang ang naging lifespan niya. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/bayanihan.html

You sure yun pa rin ang gusto ninyong i-present? In other words, wala na kayong option na iba ang i-present? If you would ask for opinion/advice, ang maibibigay ko siguro is to present something newer and well-maintained na Linux-based OS. I have a copy pero I have to upload it pa.

Since it's no longer maintained, ang problem ninyo is for example, gusto ninyong i-present kung paano mag-update ng repositories...ang problem na ma-encounter ninyo is hindi na maintained ang online server ng repositories so you will not be able to demonstrate how to, for example, download/install an app via the Package Manager....how to run "apt-get update" (since down ang server), etc.

Agree po ako kay sir. Ang DOST po yata ay naghohost na ng Ubuntu repos, so I presume na dun na po sila lumipat. You might as well look at that, or Linux Mint, para po plug and play.

Nga po pala, saan po yung Linux Programming thread? Pakilink naman po dito para sa ikabubuti nating lahat.

Search for "Programming with Linux" sa Search box sir.

Baka pede po ninyo itry ang KAHELOS bases po s Arch and Philippines din po ang origin.

mga sir tanung lang kapag mag-upgrade ba ako nang OS from 11.04 to 12.04 pede na ba rekta or need ko pa po mag update then upgrade?

Both is okay. But my personal "best practice" is: clean slate. As in back up all needed files, reformat or delete ng partition, and then install newer version.

But beware, hindi ako mahilig magpalit ng Ubuntu ko (every 6 months may nire-release ang Ubuntu), so my best practice may or may not be suitable for all. I usually stick with "LTS" (Long-Term Support) releases, so yung una ko is Ubuntu 10.04 pa, then deretso sa 12.04.
