hi folks , total linux noob here hopefully somebody can help me with a problem
i wanted to try out linux mint on my apple imac and i seem to have ended up with this ramdisk or memdisk which is some sort of security version of linux
this damn thing has total root access and has setup all sorts of remote server connections and wont let me do a bloody thing , even format a usb stick
its corrupted my apple install and base efi and just got me on total lockdown
anybody know how to get rid of this ? please
So total Linux noob here, so I apologize for poor wording or not being able to understand anything!
So I want to love Linux (mint, btw) I really do, but my one problem is that I can't run games because, despite having the HDMI cord running through the graphics card, Linux is for some reason using the Intel integrated graphics as a renderer. Now, I have no tools to totally confirm this (I primarily use MSI Afterburner on windows) other than noticing that any linux games I have run sort of poorly (none of the games I have for linux other than Witcher 2 are demanding enough to be obvious). So how do I (or can I even) use my AMD card as a renderer? After looking around for solutions, I've picked up that AMD/Linux support is sort of poor, but is it really excluding me from using my card at all?! Thanks!

Hi there.
I am a total newbie to Linux, and I've just downloaded Slacko Puppy onto a usb stick to use on my old netbook.
It seems to run fantastically from the stick, but I am having trouble putting it onto the HDD. I have already had it on there once, but it appears to be locked and I cannot see how to uninstall it, so that I may start fresh. Can anyone help?
Hi,
Could anyone please explain as understandable as possible how could I on my Windows 8 open either single file or install (and use) entire software which is supposted to work on Linux and/or Ubuntu? I have absolutelly NO experience with Linux and have never used it. Honestly, I don't know if there is any difference between Linux and Ubuntu. I want to be inside my Windows 8 while using Linux files/sofware. The only solution I could think of are actually two but neither of them is useful for me:
1. Vmware (i don't know how to use it)
2. Rent remote computer (vps/rdp) with linux OS installed (this would let me be in Windows 8 while being able to use Linux file/software [on remote computer] but sooner or later I would want to have Windows installed there too)
Tried program Linux Reader but didn't work on my Windows 8. Although I would need solution for installation/usage of software (that can be used only on linux/ubuntu), regardless of details***, the current problem is basically related to single files only: I have two files, both in IMG extension. Don't know how to open them because Deamon Tools doesn't handle IMG. The problem is that filesystem in one of them is "Linux" and filesystem in another is "142". The error I am getting when I try to open them is:
"File with harddrive/disc snapshot is corrupted."
But this is most likely because they are supposted to be used in linux environment, hence such question.
*** when i said "details" I was referring to basically anything: type of software, size, purpose, whether or not it needs network connection, whether or not it contains logging in (username password, etc) requirement, etc.
The following solution for current situation (quoted error above) works only partially:
http://www.sysprobs.com/simple-tip-h...thout-software
I am able to open/run/mount IMG if I do what is described on this link (im basically opening iso in this case - see the website) but when opening the virtual drive, the following error message proves that the file can be used in linux/ubuntu only:
"Windows cannot access that drive. Drive could be corrupted. Make sure the drive is in condition that can be recognized by Windows. If drive isn't formatted then format it before usage."
Would need detailed instructions, for total beginner, who has never used linux/ubuntu, what to do in such case: how to use in win8 files/software that are supposted to be used in linux/ubuntu. Also answer on how to open IMG would be highly appreciated.
Kindest regards and thank you a million in advance.
i have an imac 5.1 and it simply will not install linux. mac software is 10.4.11
does anyone have any info on why these computers wont accept the install. i installed refit on the mac and it still wont do it. any info would be great , thank you
Hi,
I work in a company where job security isnt too great at the moment, so I'd like to learn new things, the main one being Linux.
Talking to a tech guy at work he says the best bet to replicate an office environment would be Red Hat, so I would like to install Red Hat Linux Enterprise V7 but am finding it difficult to find an open source website offering a free download for it.
Does anyone have a particular website they get their Linux from at all please?
Also, excuse this very ignorant question, but I'd like to set up a server within my Vmware Workstation 10 environment, plus 3 desktops - would that need Linux Red Hat server plus Linus Red Hat desktop software?
If the above has already been answered then I will happily follow a thread that you could point me too please instead?
Thanks in anticipation,
Clank
Hello Gents,
Ive recently converted to Linux, only problem is, i can't get Linux Mint to download. I go to the BIOS, boot from USB, which has the Distro, i go through the configuration, Laptop does its thing, (looks like a bunch of garble, with being a noob and all) and then finally, i end up with:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BusyBox v1.21.1 (ubuntu 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands
(initramfs) [ 37.512065] random: nonblocking pool is initialized

I had previously installed unbuntu on this laptop alongside Windows 7 a long time ago, but i ended up deleting it because i was having some other issues. for anyone who can help, i can send a picture of whats actually on the screen, since i cant add a photo directly from my hdd. sorry about not making this brief, but tried to explain as much as i much as i could to help you help me. Thank you.
I am installing Linuc Mint Rebecca on this computer: CPU: I7, motherboard: ASUS X99-A, HD: 2x 2TB, motherboard BIOS RAID1, so the total hard drive size is 2TB
While I was installing LINUX MINT on RAID1 hard drive, the installation system pop up ??? ???windows at Wher Are You step, after I click OK, jump to Installation Type, no matter which type I select: Erase disk and install Linux Mint or Someting else, ??? error message pop up at Where are you.
And if I click either of the two disk, it shows "Unable to mount location"
however, I can double click and see the content of RAID1 2TB disk.
Question: what's the problem of LINUX MINT installation on RAID1?
Hi all,
I was wondering did anyone try running PEGASIS simulation on NS-2.34? I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I tried running it with the LEACH+PEGASIS patch from exidus, but the pegasis output does not seem right, although the leach output seems fine.
As seen there is not data sent and the nodes alive stays 10 (used only 10 nodes) with energy still intact. Any input/thoughts are appreciated, thanks!

In Windows, when a folder is right clicked, I can see the number of files and folders in that folder and the detailed size of the total of files and folders down to the byte. In Linux Mint when I do the same thing in the default file manager, it gives me a total nunber of "Items" and a size rounded to xx.x GB. Is there a file manager that will give me the same information as Windows does, or another way to get that information?
