01 Dec '09

Respected Sirs, I am Akshay Narkar, currently a student (taken drop for IIT). I stay at Mahim. I am interested in using Linux as an OS. I visited some Websites which told me to take help from a Linux group in my area. I tried downloading Ubuntu Linux from net but my connection is a petty 9kBps. Can you please suggest a way so that i can get a copy of Free Linux,along with a users manual from someone in my area? Thanking you, yours sincerely, Akshay Narkar

Any good download managers
by Kussh Singh 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi all, I tried downloading the HUGE collabcad PLM setup file from collabcad website. However both times though I was able to download the 1.62GB file using firefox addon downthemall, downthemall failed to finally put the file in the proper download folder given for the purpose. Only 750mb file resulted from a FULL download of 1.62 GB. There was enough space in the /home directory -so that possibility of less space is ruled out. I think downthemall 1 downloads to a temporary or hidden directory and 2 then checksums the hidden directory download after the download is complete and 3 then moves the checksummed file to the final destination under /home directory if everything is ok or gives an error. It seems to be restricted in download size upto 750MB. Am looking for a better dowload manager which can work under ubuntu 9.04 and with such SUPER large files. If anyone knows of a better manager with checksumming ability pls let me know. The other option is using a torrent file (via a bittorrent client) if any exists. Thanks for any help Kussh

problem with kde 4.3 update
by Pratik Anand 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

@Kartik i know that but you are not getting the question. I had installed kde4.2.2 when kde 4.3 was just about to come....But after when it came , Synaptics or apt didn't upgrade 4.2 to 4.3..even on manual checking of update , they said 'your kde packages are uptodate' and thats with others too.. So, I wanted to know the reason behind this... As if canonical is still not supportng 4.3 in jaunty or anything else... My question is WHY not HOW (first step is Googling always)...Why it is not included in original repo list Similar case is with firefox update too, it is not giving option of updating to 3.5. As a result , i m running the tar of the newer version ..but the installed one is still 3.0.15 @Rony : I m not a linux newbie, have been using it for 1.5 yrs now (so little above newbie) and have solved all types of problems whether it is non-functioning of alsa, or compiz graphics prob in hardy or to make wine from source etc etc.. by intensive google searching..... -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (2nd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone
