Hello there! My name is Suranjan, and I am just new to Linux. I am a college professor in Buxar, Bihar and am interested in spreading the news about Linux to all the professors, staff, and students in our institution.
I myself just recently learned about Linux, and am keenly interested. I have been searching an alternative to windows for a long time, and feel I have finally found the answer here in Ubuntu. I do have three questions, the first of which is critical. If someone is able to guide me about the second two as well, it will be a very great help to me. 1. My internet connection is WLL, which is provided by VSNL. Kindly guide me as to how to configure my Ubuntu (version 7.10, Gutsy) so that I can get on line. Is any special software needed? The connection is via USB port. 2. SCIM is present in Gutsy, and I would like to use it with Hindi. I have located the setup utility in System -> Preferences, but cannot get the actual program to open. According to the setup utility, the program should be triggered to open upon hitting "shift-space" or "ctrl-space", but upon doing so nothing happens. Even when a text file is open. 3. I have tried to install a linux spell-checker for use with Hindi which is supposed to work in Ubuntu. It is called "aspell6-hi-0.02-0", and installs in terminal using the commands "./configure", "make", and "sudo make install". The configure command works fine, but when I give the "make" command, I get an error "Nothing to be done for `all'", as seen below. Please kindly guide as to how to correct this so that the "make" command will work. :~/Desktop/aspell6-hi-0.02-0$ ./configure Finding Dictionary file location ... /usr/lib/aspell Finding Data file location ... /usr/lib/aspell :~/Desktop/aspell6-hi-0.02-0$ make make: Nothing to be done for `all'. :~/Desktop/aspell6-hi-0.02-0$ Many thanks, Suranjan Buxar, Bihar
