[fsug-tvm] activex in firefox/ubuntu
Hi Junise, On Jun 3, 6:23 pm, stranger in black. gnu...@gmail.com wrote: How can I view the websites with activex controls in my ubuntu 10.04 system? There seems to be no method to run ActiveX in Gnu/Linux other than to run IE on wine. Besides that, I wouldn't recommend running ActiveX on any system - it is considered one of the worst and most insecure technology ever developed for the web. Even IE often blocks it for security reasons. I know that this is an inappropriate reply for a help request, but consider this as a personal advice from a friend.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Fwd: Information
as a rule of thumb the centrino certified laptops are the easier ones to install any kind of open source distro, since intel is more open source friendly and release their hardware documention so that even third party developers can write drivers.

I just bought a Toshiba satellite model specifically asking for one that would work on Linux but it would load only Ubuntu 10.4 and now there is a bluetooth mouse that i purchased with it which does not work as there are no drivers. 2) Which computer shops in Trivandrum are most friendly to customers who use Linux ? 3) I would like to attend your next meeting so could you please send a confirmation about date and time soon as I have to plan a few days in advance.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Hard ware monitor
i faced ur same situation when i started using linux.. i had a dialup modem which only worked in windows.. i used to download .deb packages using my dialup modem from windows which i kept as a dual boot.. then it would show some dependency.. again i will download that n again one more dependency pops up.. same situation as urs.. i now has a broadband connection n an external modem which works in linux.. Now for ur solution.. as u r a new user, i suggest that u don't go for compiling n installing of packages.. its too hard. stick to .debs.. the link i gave u gives 2 methods to install software's on ubuntu without internet connection.. i think keryx method will be most ideal for u.. keryx can run on linux n windows OS.. when u run keryx on ur ubuntu system it makes a list of what all packages u have on ur computer.. now u can copy keryx on a usb n take it to the cafe n run it there.. u can use it to download softwares to install on ubuntu.. since it knows what all packages u have on ur computer, it will download all the dependencies as well.. try to buy an external modem if u can.. all external modems work with linux.. -- Freedom is the only law.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Harddisk problem...
Hi, Ubuntu disk utility is very comprehensive compared to that of the windows. It wont install unlike windows that just ignore bad sectors. You need to change the disk or install buntu on an external. May be your partition table is corrupt. To find out more go to Ubuntu forums and check my post under grumpy.biatch' for further action.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Harddisk problem...
ur hard disk has bad clusters.. it cannot be corrected by softwares.. if u format a drive, ubuntu will mark all the clusters which has a problem n will not write data onto it.. thus u can prevent data corruption.. it will also check to see if the bad clusters can be used, thus some bad clusters can be recovered.. unresponsiveness is caused when ubuntu is trying to access data written on bad clusters.. format ur harddisk drive by drive n reinstall ubuntu.. u can fix unresponsiveness.. -- Freedom is the only law.
