[125004850020] |My daughter’s school requires her to use one of two microsoft fonts (office 2007) called ‘APA’ or ‘Turabian’.
[125004850030] |I wish to print a list fonts used by OpenOffice by name in their respective fonts.
[125004850040] |This will allow my daughter’s teacher to select the font that she will accept.
[125004850050] |I could do this in mc-Word but can not find a similar process in oo-Word.
[125004860010] |How to make your application appear in the Add/Remove tool (gnome-app-install)
[125004860020] |In order to make your application appear in the Add/Remove tool (gnome-app-install), there are two steps to make:
[125004860030] |* add a “X-AppInstall-Package” line to your .desktop
[125004860040] |* and run “update-app-install” to update the database
[125004860050] |Setting up the .desktop
[125004860060] |The application presents to the user a list of applications which can be installed or removed.
[125004860070] |These applications are either end-user applications (such as OpenOffice, GIMP, Pidgin) or server-side roles (HTTP server, FTP server).These can be added and removed by toggling a check box.
[125004860080] |The applications will be shown in a tree identical to the Applications menu on the panel, and system roles in a separate list.
[125004860090] |The package information based on Freedesktop .desktop files.
[125004860100] |This is due to all end-user applications already having a .desktop file which can be extended with a small amount of metadata for use by the application install tool.
[125004860110] |These .desktop files will be extracted from the Hoary archive automatically and a package solely containing .desktop files and the relevant icons created.
[125004860120] |For a package to be available the .desktop file must have a X-AppInstall-Package key under the [Desktop Entry] group, which is the name of the package the desktop file relates too.
[125004860130] |The Name, Comment and Icon keys will be used in the interface.
[125004860140] |Example 1: Sound Juicer
[125004860150] |[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Sound Juicer CD Ripper Comment=Extract music from your CDs Exec=sound-juicer Icon=sound-juicer.png StartupNotify=true Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=GNOME;Application;AudioVideo; X-AppInstall-Package=sound-juicer
[125004860160] |The only change her from the upstream .desktop file is the X-AppInstall-Package key, which marks this application as to be displayed in the interface.
[125004860170] |The existing Name, Comment and Icon fields are displayed to the user in the interface.
[125004860180] |Example 2: OpenOffice.org
[125004860190] |OpenOffice.org installs a number of .desktop files, none of which are suitable for displaying in an Application Install tool as they are for particular aspects of the suite (i.e. Writer or Impress).
[125004860200] |In this case a new .desktop file is added to the package, which contains the required information alongside a Hidden=true key.
[125004860210] |The Hidden key ensures that it won’t be displayed in any application menus, but can be picked up by the Application Install Tool.
[125004860220] |[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=OpenOffice.org Comment=Powerful office suite Icon=ooo.png Type=Application Categories=GNOME;Application;Office; X-AppInstall-Package=openoffice.org
[125004860230] |The menu layout is based upon the Freedesktop menu specification.
[125004860240] |Currently GNOME does not support this standard, but hopefully GNOMEE 2.10 will.
[125004860250] |At the moment the Application Install Tool includes a copy of the Applications menu structure in the Freedesktop menu format, which can be removed if GNOME 2.10 does move to it. [note: this depends on API additions to PyXDG]
[125004860260] |you simply add the X-AppInstall-Package= line to your .desktop.
[125004860270] |Add/Remove will automatically use the description, name, and icon in it’s display.
[125004860280] |Updating the database
[125004860290] |To update Add/Remove’s database, you need to run “sudo update-app-install”.
[125004860300] |After that, your .desktop will appear in it’s index as a regular program!
[125004860310] |However, by default update-app-install will scan all .desktop files in your system, which on low-end systems can take a while.
[125004860320] |To help speed that up, you can use the “sudo update-app-install -d ” syntax - point it to the directory where your .desktop is and things will be considerably faster.

[125004920010] |Recover Deleted Files with Foremost,scalpel in Ubuntu
[125004920020] |Foremost and Scalpel are not interested in the underlying filesystem.
[125004920030] |They simply expect the data blocks of the files to reside sequentially in the image under investigation.
[125004920040] |The tools will find images in dd dumps, RAM dumps, or swap files.Carving will help to identify and reconstruct files on corrupt filesystems, in slack space, or even after installation of a new operating system, as long as the required data blocks still exist.
[125004920050] |Forensics application to recover data.Foremost is a console program to recover files based on their headers, footers, and internal data structures.
[125004920060] |This process is commonly referred to as data carving.
[125004920070] |Foremost can work on image files, such as those generated by dd, Safeback, Encase, etc, or directly on a drive.
[125004920080] |The headers and footers can be specified by a configuration file or you can use command line switches to specify built-in file types.
[125004920090] |These built-in types look at the data structures of a given file format allowing for a more reliable and faster recovery.
[125004920100] |Install foremost in Ubuntu
[125004920110] |sudo aptitude install foremost
[125004920120] |This will complete the installation.
[125004920130] |Using Foremost
[125004920140] |Foremost Syntax
[125004920150] |foremost [-h][-V][-d][-vqwQT][-b][-o] [-t][-s][-i]
[125004920160] |Available Options
[125004920170] |-h Show a help screen and exit. -V Show copyright information and exit. -d Turn on indirect block detection, this works well for Unix file systems. -T Time stamp the output directory so you don’t have to delete the output dir when running multiple times. -v Enables verbose mode.
[125004920180] |This causes more information regarding the current state of the program to be dis-played on the screen, and is highly recommended. -q Enables quick mode.
[125004920190] |In quick mode, only the start of each sector is searched for matching headers.
[125004920200] |That is,the header is searched only up to the length of the longest header.
[125004920210] |The rest of the sector, usually about 500 bytes, is ignored.
[125004920220] |This mode makes foremost run con- siderably faster, but it may cause you to miss files that are embedded in other files.
[125004920230] |For example, using quick mode you will not be able to find JPEG images embedded in Microsoft Word documents.
[125004920240] |Quick mode should not be used when examining NTFS file systems.
[125004920250] |Because NTFS will store small files inside the Master File Table, these files will be missed during quick mode.
[125004920260] |-Q Enables Quiet mode.
[125004920270] |Most error messages will be sup-pressed. -w Enables write audit only mode.
[125004920280] |No files will be extracted. -a Enables write all headers, perform no error detection in terms of corrupted files. -b number Allows you to specify the block size used in foremost.
[125004920290] |This is relevant for file naming and quick searches.
[125004920300] |The default is 512. ie. foremost -b 1024 image.dd
[125004920310] |-k number Allows you to specify the chunk size used in foremost.This can improve speed if you have enough RAM to fit the image in.
[125004920320] |It reduces the checking that occurs between chunks of the buffer.
[125004920330] |For example if you had >500MB of RAM. ie. foremost -k 500 image.dd
[125004920340] |-i file The file is used as the input file.
[125004920350] |If no input file is specified or the input file cannot be read then stdin is used.
[125004920360] |-o directory Recovered files are written to the directory directory.
[125004920370] |-c file Sets the configuration file to use.
[125004920380] |If none is speci-fied, the file “foremost.conf” from the current direc-tory is used, if that doesn’t exist then “/etc/fore-most.conf” is used.
[125004920390] |The format for the configuration file is described in the default configuration file included with this program.
[125004920400] |See the CONFIGURATION FILE section below for more information.
[125004920410] |-s number Skips number blocks in the input file before beginning the search for headers. ie. foremost -s 512 -t jpeg -i /dev/hda1
[125004920420] |Foremost examples
[125004920430] |Search for jpeg format skipping the first 100 blocks
[125004920440] |sudo foremost -s 100 -t jpg -i image.dd
[125004920450] |Only generate an audit file, and print to the screen (verbose mode)
[125004920460] |sudo foremost -av image.dd
[125004920470] |Search all defined types
[125004920480] |sudo foremost -t all -i image.dd
[125004920490] |Search for gif and pdf
[125004920500] |sudo foremost -t gif,pdf -i image.dd
[125004920510] |Search for office documents and jpeg files in a Unix file sys-tem in verbose mode.
[125004920520] |sudo foremost -v -t ole,jpeg -i image.dd
[125004920530] |Run the default case
[125004920540] |sudo foremost image.dd
[125004920550] |image.dd means you need to enter your hardisk mount point i.e /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2
[125004920560] |scalpel
[125004920570] |A Frugal, High Performance File CarverA fast file carver that reads a database of header and footer definitions and extracts matching files from a set of image files or raw device files.
[125004920580] |Scalpel is filesystem-independent and will carve files from FATx, NTFS, ext2/3, or raw partitions.
[125004920590] |It is useful for both digital forensics investigation and file recovery.
[125004920600] |Install scalpel in Ubuntu
[125004920610] |sudo aptitude install scalpel
[125004920620] |This will complete the installation
[125004920630] |Using scalpel
[125004920640] |By default, all file types in the database (/etc/scalpel/scalpel.conf) are commented out.
[125004920650] |To specify which filetypes you want to carve, you need to edit the file and uncomment each line.
[125004920660] |sudo scalpel FILE -o Directory
[125004920670] |Where FILE is the image file (or device) and Directory is the output directory.

[125004940010] |Switch to a lightweight filemanager (Thunar)
[125004940020] |Thunar is the default file manager used in the stripped-back Xfce4 desktop of Xubuntu.
[125004940030] |It starts quickly and has a low-memory footprint, yet it is very powerful and provides all the features you are likely to need.
[125004940040] |In fact, it beats Nautilus in many departments when it comes to features.
[125004940050] |One feature of Thunar I particularly appreciate is the ability to rubber-band-select many files in list view, something Nautilus doesn’t allow.
[125004940060] |Thunar also includes the ability to define your own right-click functions, something that is possible in Nautilus but only if you add the Nautilus Actions component.
[125004940070] |Thunar can be used to replace Nautilus within the Ubuntu desktop for some operations, although bear in mind that Nautilus windows will still appear sometimes, such as when using Nautilus CD-R/DVD Creator.
[125004940080] |Follow these steps to switch to Thunar:
[125004940090] |Start Synaptic, and search for and install the thunar and thunar-archive-plugin packages.
[125004940100] |After installation, you can run Thunar by typing thunar in a terminal window.
[125004940110] |To cause Thunar to open whenever you click an entry in the Places menu, you’ll need to edit a configuration file: open a terminal window, and type the following:
[125004940120] |gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
[125004940130] |Scroll to the bottom of the file, and look for the line that reads Exec=nautilus --no-desktop %U. Change it so it reads Exec=thunar %U. Then save the file, log out and back in again, and test the changes by selecting Places --> Home.
[125004940140] |This tip works equally well for any alternative file manager.
[125004940150] |Others you might like to try are Konqueror (KDE’s file manager), Dolphin (KDE4’s file manager), and Rox-filer, a stripped-down file manager that is extremely lightweight.
[125004940160] |Just use Synaptic to search for and install konqeuror, doplhin, or rox-filer, respectively.
[125004940170] |When altering the earlier nautilus-folder-handler.desktop file to make Rox-filer the default, change the line to read Exec=rox-filer, without the %U; Dolphin and Konqueror still require the %U after the command.
[125004940180] |Note that Rox-filer’s configuration is carried out by right-clicking a blank spot in its program window.
[125004940190] |It doesn’t use a traditional menu system, like most application windows.
[125004940200] |If you want a lightweight command-line file manager, install Midnight Commander (search for and install the mc package using Synaptic).
[125004940210] |Then type mc at the prompt to start the program.
[125004940220] |Once it’s started, hit Alt+1, use the cursor keys to highlight Contents, and then hit Enter.
[125004940230] |This will display the help file explaining how to use the program.
[125004940240] |If you ever used Norton Commander back in the days of DOS, you’ll find Midnight Commander very familiar, because it’s modeled on that product.
[125004940250] |To go back to using Nautilus after installing Thunar (or Konqueror/Dolphin/Rox-Filer), just edit the nautilus-folder-handler.desktop file again, and change the line you edited to read Exec=nautilus --no-desktop %U (note there are two dashes before no-desktop).
[125004940260] |Then save the file, and log out and back in again.

[125004970030] |The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.Apache v2 is the next generation of the omnipresent Apache web server.
[125004970040] |This version - a total rewrite - introduces many new improvements, such as threading, a new API, IPv6 support, request/response filtering, and more.
[125004970050] |Install Apache2 in Ubuntu
[125004970060] |sudo aptitude install apache2
[125004970070] |This will complete the installation.
[125004970080] |After installation Type the server’s IP address (or alias if you added the server to your /etc/hosts file) in your browser’s address bar or, if you are browsing on the server itself, type 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
[125004970090] |If an error occurs, then you will have to edit the apache2.conf file to ensure that Apache can fully resolve the server’s name.If you have any problem then you have to edit the apache2 configuration file using the following command
[125004970100] |sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[125004970110] |Add the following line somewhere
[125004970120] |ServerName localhost
[125004970130] |or
[125004970140] |ServerName yourserverip
[125004970150] |Save and exit the file
[125004970160] |Now you need to restart Apache server using the following command.
[125004970170] |sudo apache2ctl restart
[125004970180] |Change default document root in Apache2
[125004970190] |The main configuration file located at /etc/apache2/apche2.conf.If you want to change the default document root you need to edit the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file and look for this line “DocumentRoot /var/www/” here you can change where ever you want to change.For example if you want to change /home/www the above line looks like this “DocumentRoot /home/www/”.
[125004970200] |Save and exit the file
[125004970210] |Now you need to restart Apache server using the following command.
[125004970220] |sudo apache2ctl restart
[125004970230] |Enable PHP support for apache2 webserver
[125004970240] |If you want to enable php5 or php4 support to your apache webserver use the following commands to install require packages
[125004970250] |For PHP5
[125004970260] |sudo aptitiude install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
[125004970270] |For PHP4
[125004970280] |sudo aptitiude install php4 libapache2-mod-php4
[125004970290] |You also make sure the php5 and php4 modules are enabled using the following commands
[125004970300] |sudo a2enmod php5
[125004970310] |sudo a2enmod php4
[125004970320] |After installing php support you need to restart apache webserver using the following command
[125004970330] |sudo apache2ctl restart
[125004970340] |Test your PHP Support foe apache webserver
[125004970350] |To check the status of your PHP installation
[125004970360] |sudo nano /var/www/testphp.php
[125004970370] |and insert the following line
[125004970380] |ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/cgi-bin/ Options ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
[125004970500] |The first line creates an alias that points to the directory in which CGI scripts are stored.
[125004970510] |The final line tells Apache that only files that end with the *.cgi and *.pl extensions should be considered CGI programs and executed.
[125004970520] |Test your Perl Program
[125004970530] |cd /home/www/cgi-bin
[125004970540] |sudo nano perltest.pl
[125004970550] |Copy and paste the following section save and exit the file.
[125004970560] |###Start### #!/usr/bin/perl -w print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"; print "Hello there!
\nJust testing .
\n"; for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) { print $i."
"; } ###End###
[125004970570] |make sure you change permissions on it
[125004970580] |sudo chmod a+x perltest.pl
[125004970590] |Now open your web browser open http://yourserverip/cgi-bin/perltest.pl.It should be working.
[125004980010] |Buddi - Personal budget software for Ubuntu Desktop
[125004980020] |Buddi is a personal finance and budgeting program, aimed at those who have little or no financial background.
[125004980030] |In making this software, We have attempted to make things as simple as possible, while still retaining enough functions to satisfy most home users.
[125004980040] |Buddi will run on almost any computer which has a Java virtual machine installed.
[125004980050] |This can include Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux, and many other operating systems.
[125004980060] |Install Buddi in Ubuntu
[125004980070] |Preparing your system
[125004980080] |sudo aptitude install odbcinst1debian1 unixodbc java-common sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre
[125004980090] |Now you need to download .deb package from here .Now you should be having Buddi-3.2.1.4.deb package.Install this package using the following command
[125004980100] |sudo dpkg -i Buddi-3.2.1.4.deb
[125004980110] |This will complete the buddi installation.
[125004980120] |Using Buddi
[125004980130] |If you want to open buddi go to Applications--->Office--->Buddi
[125004980140] |Buddi is loading
[125004980150] |Once it opens you should see similar to the following screen
[125004980160] |Create Accounts
[125004980170] |The first thing to do when you start Buddi for the first time is to create your accounts.
[125004980180] |In general, an account in Buddi is a location where you either store or owe money.
[125004980190] |The sum of the money in all accounts is your net worth.
[125004980200] |A few examples of accounts in Buddi may be your Savings account at the bank, your credit card, the money in your wallet, or an investment, like a GIC.
[125004980210] |To create an account, make sure that you are in the My Accounts tab, and click on the Edit--->Create Account menu.
[125004980220] |Enter the name, the type, and the starting balance.
[125004980230] |The name can be whatever you want, but must be unique - you cannot have two accounts named “Money”, for instance.
[125004980240] |The starting balance should be the amount which you currently have in this account: for instance, the total on your last bank statement, or the amount of money currently in your wallet.
[125004980250] |![]()
Create Budget Categories
[125004980260] |The next thing to do is to set up your budget.
[125004980270] |All money which comes in to or goes out of an account in Buddi is associated with a Budget Category.
[125004980280] |You can use these categories to categorize income and expenses, which can help you to track where you money is going.
[125004980290] |On all new files, Buddi sets up some default budget categories, such as Salary, Groceries, Utilties, etc.
[125004980300] |If you do not feel that you will use some of these default ones, you can delete them.
[125004980310] |If you want to add more, you can do so by clicking Edit---> Create Budget Category.
[125004980320] |Once you have set up your Budget Categories, you now need to decide how much to budget for each.
[125004980330] |This amount is the amount which you are planning to spend in one period (the most frequently used period is monthly, although you can change this for different categories).
[125004980340] |This amount forms the baseline for you, and helps you determine if you spent too much or not.
[125004980350] |When you are first starting out at keeping a budget, it may be difficult to know how much to plan to spend.
[125004980360] |If you don’t know, you can just make an estimate; you can always adjust this value at a later date.
[125004980370] |The screenshot above shows the default Budget Categories, some of which have been assigned a budget value.
[125004980380] |Note that any which have not been assigned show up as a dashed line.
[125004980390] |Buddi Preferences screen
[125004980400] |Reports are how you can review your budget, and verify how well you kept to it.
[125004980410] |There are a few built in reports which are included with Buddi; in addition, you can download other plugins, written by third parties, which add additional reports.
[125004980420] |In this tutorial, we will only cover a few of the built in reports, but all of them will use the same basic methods.
[125004980430] |When you first click on the “My Reports” section, you will see a list of possible reports, with a pulldown for each to select the time period which you wish to use.
[125004980440] |The details of what is shown in each report should be clear from the text.
[125004980450] |For instance, in the screenshor below, we are about to select the time period “This Month” for the Income Pie Graph report.
[125004980460] |Buddi Version Details
[125004980470] |Buddi Plugins
[125004980480] |Using Plugins
[125004980490] |Plugins are additions, mostly written by third parties, which can expand the functionality of Buddi.
[125004980500] |There are a number of different plugins types, including ones which import / export / synchronize your data with external programs, ones which add additional report types, etc.
[125004980510] |To install a plugin, do the following:
[125004980520] |Download it from the Buddi Plugin Downloads page.Unzip the file and extract the .buddi3plugin file.
[125004980530] |Make a note of which folder you extracted the file into.
[125004980540] |Open Buddi, and go to the Preferences screen, on the Plugins tab.
[125004980550] |Click the Add button Select the .buddi3plugin file which you extracted earlier You should now see the plugin in the Plugins list.
[125004980560] |Hit OK to close the preferences screen and save your changes.
[125004980570] |You will be prompted to restart Buddi - you must do this before the plugin is activated.
[125004990010] |How to Find duplicate copies of files Using fdupes in Ubuntu
[125004990020] |FDupes uses md5sums and then a byte by byte comparison to find duplicate files within a set of directories.
[125004990030] |It has several useful options including recursion.
[125004990040] |Install fdupes in ubuntu
[125004990050] |sudo aptitude install fdupes
[125004990060] |This will install all the required packages for fdupes
[125004990070] |Using fdupes
[125004990080] |Fdupes syntax
[125004990090] |fdupes [ options ] DIRECTORY
[125004990100] |Available Options
[125004990110] |-r --recurse - include files residing in subdirectories
[125004990120] |-s --symlinks - follow symlinked directories
[125004990130] |-H --hardlinks - normally, when two or more files point to the same disk area they are treated as nonn-duplicates; this option will change this behavior
[125004990140] |-n --noempty - exclude zero-length files from consideration
[125004990150] |-f --omitfirst - omit the first file in each set of matches
[125004990160] |-1 --sameline - list each set of matches on a single line
[125004990170] |-S --size - show size of duplicate files
[125004990180] |-q --quiet - hide progress indicator
[125004990190] |-d --delete - prompt user for files to preserve, deleting all others
[125004990200] |-v --version - display fdupes version
[125004990210] |-h --help - displays help
[125004990220] |Fdupes Examples
[125004990230] |1) fdupes -r ./stuff >dupes.txt
[125004990240] |Then, deleting the duplicates was as easy as checking dupes.txt and deleting the offending directories. fdupes also can prompt you to delete the duplicates as you go along.
[125004990250] |2) fdupes -r /home/user >/home/user/duplicate.txt
[125004990260] |Output of the command goes in duplicate.txt
[125004990270] |fdupes will compare the size and MD5 hash of the files to find duplicates
[125004990280] |You can also use fslint to do this job this is simple GUI tool to do this.
[125005000010] |The extremely simple guide to installing Ubuntu using Wubi (From Windows)
[125005000020] |Many people are put off using Ubuntu because of installation issues.
[125005000030] |Not that installation is difficult, of course, but for the true non-technical user, it’s equivalent to scaling Mount Everest.
[125005000040] |This guide is for them.
[125005000050] |It’s a step-by-step guide to installing Ubuntu for complete and utter beginners.
[125005000060] |If you have a relative, or friend, who would like to try Ubuntu, but who is frankly scared of the prospect, then send them a link to this posting!
[125005000070] |It assumes zero prior knowledge.
[125005000080] |We’re going to use something called Wubi.
[125005000090] |This is built into the latest releases of Ubuntu and lets you install Ubuntu as a file within Windows.
[125005000100] |It makes installing Ubuntu just like installing some Windows software.
[125005000110] |No drastic repartitioning is necessary and you don’t have to deal with baffling terminology.
[125005000120] |Once installation has finished, you just choose between Windows and Ubuntu when you boot.
[125005000130] |If you decide you want to get rid of Ubuntu, you can use Add/Remove Programs to get rid of it, like a Windows program.
[125005000140] |Above all, there is NO repartitioning of the disk, and no complex terminology.
[125005000150] |Using Wubi is therefore extremely safe and presents an almost zero possibility of problems.
[125005000160] |Using a Wubi installation of Ubuntu is just the same as any other installation of Ubuntu, with one or two caveats:
[125005000170] |First, performance isn’t quite as good as a standard installation, although it’s unlikely you’ll notice much.
[125005000180] |Secondly, you won’t be able to use the Hibernate (suspend to disk) power saving mode of Ubuntu.
[125005000190] |To follow the instructions below you’ll need:
[125005000200] |at least 5GB of hard disk space free in your Windows setup (if free space isn’t available then consider uninstalling software or deleting files; movies and MP3s take up an enormous amount of space);
[125005000210] |a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc;
[125005000220] |a reasonably fast Internet connection (you’re going to download a 700MB file);
[125005000230] |the ability to concentrate without hurting yourself.
[125005000240] |If you fulfill these criteria, let’s crack on!
[125005000250] |The installation
[125005000260] |Start by defragmenting your Windows hard disk.
[125005000270] |This is necessary because you’re about to create some massive multi-gigabyte files there, and you really want them to be contiguous on the disk, rather than spotted in pieces around a disorganized hard disk.
[125005000280] |To defrag under Vista, open Computer on the Start menu, and then right-click your hard disk icon.
[125005000290] |Select Properties and then the Tools tab in the dialog that appears.
[125005000300] |Then click the Defragment Now button.
[125005000310] |Under XP, open My Computer, right-click the hard disk icon, click Properties, then the Tools tab, and click the Defragment Now button.
[125005000320] |Then click the Defragment button in the program window that appears.
[125005000330] |Ubuntu is distributed as an ISO image.
[125005000340] |An ISO image is effectively the contents of a CD-ROM in a large file.
[125005000350] |As such, it’s pretty large (about 700MB), so start it downloading ASAP because it might take a while.
[125005000360] |Head off to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and download Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition for a standard personal computer.
[125005000370] |The default options selected on the website are fine, in fact, so you can just click the Start Download button.(If you don’t mind waiting around for up to ten weeks before installing Ubuntu, you might request a free Ubuntu CD be mailed to you via the Ubuntu Ship-It service: https://shipit.ubuntu.com.
[125005000380] |This will remove the need to burn your own CD, and you can skip straight to Step 6 below.)
[125005000390] |While that’s downloading the ISO image, you’ll need to source a blank CD-R or CD-RW disk.
[125005000400] |Then you’ll need some software that will create your new Ubuntu install disk from the file you’re downloading.
[125005000410] |This can be done using Nero Burning ROM (or most disk burning software apps), but I’m going to assume you don’t have this, because not everybody does.
[125005000420] |So head off to http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com and download ISO Recorder.
[125005000430] |This is a freeware application that burns CD/DVD ISO images.
[125005000440] |You’ll need to download V2 if you have Windows XP, or V3 if you have Windows Vista.
[125005000450] |You will need the 32-bit version in each case, unless you know for sure that you’re using a 64-bit version of Windows.
[125005000460] |Once ISO Recorder has downloaded, install it.
[125005000470] |Insert your blank CD-R or CD-RW disk and, assuming the Ubuntu ISO file has now downloaded, right-click on it and select Copy Image To CD (cancel any Windows dialog boxes that pop-up asking what you want to do with the blank CD-R/RW).
[125005000480] |This will start ISO Recorder.
[125005000490] |If you’re running Vista, in the ISO Recorder interface, click the Recording Speed dropdown list and select the slowest speed possible.
[125005000500] |If you’re running XP, in the ISO Recorder interface click the Properties button.
[125005000510] |Then click and drag the Recording Speed slider to the left, so it’s at the lowest speed possible that isn’t actually zero.
[125005000520] |This is necessary because, for some reason, burning ISO images to CD tends to go wrong if a high writing speed is used.
[125005000530] |Click OK to close the dialog, then click the Next button to actually burn the disk.
[125005000540] |Once the burn has finished, the disk will be ejected.
[125005000550] |Close the ISO Recorder program and slip the disk back in again.
[125005000560] |A new dialog box will pop-up, offering several options, but the one you want is Install Inside Windows (if you’re running Windows Vista, you’ll have to select to Run Umenu.exe first).
[125005000570] |Another dialog box will pop-up, this time with the Ubuntu installation choices (see screenshot below).
[125005000580] |The first lets you select which partition or hard disk you want to install Ubuntu to.
[125005000590] |Assuming you only have one hard disk, this can be left as it is.
[125005000600] |The installation Size dropdown lets you set the size of the Ubuntu partition in GB (in other words, the size of the files that will created to contain your Ubuntu installation).
[125005000610] |You’ll need at least 4GB for a comfortable installation.
[125005000620] |You can leave the Desktop Environment dropdown as it is (it only has one option anyway), and assuming English is your main language, leave the Language dropdown as it is.
[125005000630] |In the Username box, type the username you’d like to use when logging into Ubuntu, and in the Password box, type the password you’d like to use.
[125005000640] |Once done, click the Install button.
[125005000650] |Now you can sit back while Ubuntu installs.
[125005000660] |There are two phases to this.
[125005000670] |First the new files are created for the Ubuntu installation in the Windows file system, and some files are copied across.
[125005000680] |Following this, the computer reboots into Ubuntu, and the installation is completed.
[125005000690] |Leave the CD in the drive throughout.
[125005000700] |When the computer restarts after the installation reboot, you’ll have to choose Ubuntu from the boot menu (use the up/down cursor keys and hit Enter when you’ve made your choice).
[125005000710] |You’ll have to do this each time you want to start Ubuntu in future, in fact.
[125005000720] |Later on I’ll tell you how to make Ubuntu your default boot choice.
[125005000730] |Once Ubuntu is installed, you’ll be prompted to login with your new username and password.
[125005000740] |And that’s about it.
[125005000750] |Everything configures itself.
[125005000760] |If you have a printer it will be detected and installed, for example (no need for driver disks here!).
[125005000770] |The only thing you may have to do is setup your network connection -- click the NetworkManager icon at the top right (it looks like two monitors inset against each other) and then select the wifi network from the list.
[125005000780] |When you click on it you’ll be prompted to enter the wifi password.
[125005000790] |You might also need to set the screen resolution, if it isn’t already correct, by clicking the System menu, then the Preferences menu, and then the Screen Resolution option.
[125005000800] |Following this Ubuntu is ready to roll, and the world is your oyster.
[125005000810] |You’ll find your Windows files are accessible by browsing to the host folder in the root of the file system.
[125005000820] |I advise you to get a good book to help you get to grips with Ubuntu.
[125005000830] |You can try the award-winning Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Third Edition, published by Apress.
[125005000840] |You might want to partner this to Ubuntu Kung Fu, published by The Pragmatic Bookshelf, which contains over 300 tips, tricks, hints, and hacks for Ubuntu, all of which will turn you into an expert user in record time.
[125005000850] |Both are written by the shame-faced but award-winning author of what you’re reading now.
[125005000860] |One last thing.
[125005000870] |I mentioned earlier that you can make Ubuntu the default choice on the Windows boot menu.
[125005000880] |To do this in Vista, right-click Computer, then click the Advanced System Settings option.
[125005000890] |Under XP, right-click the My Computer icon and click Properties.
[125005000900] |Then, under either operating system, in the dlalog that appears click the Advanced tab, and then the Settings button under the Startup and Recovery heading.
[125005000910] |Then select “Ubuntu” from the Default Operating System dropdown list.
[125005000920] |You might also want to reduce the figure in the Time to Display List of Operating Systems, so you’re not wasting 15 seconds each time the computer boots unattended.
[125005000930] |A value of two seconds gives you just enough time to hit a key to stop the countdown and then make an alternative selection.
[125005000940] |If you want to remove Ubuntu (Shock! Horror!), browse to C:\ubuntu and double-click Uninstall-Ubuntu.exe.
[125005000950] |Resist the temptation to just delete the C:\ubuntu folder.
[125005000960] |This will leave the boot menu entry in place, and that will start to get on your nerves after a while.
[125005000970] |If, on the other hand, you wish to convert your Wubi installation into a fully-blown hard disk partition installation, you can follow the instructions at http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html.

[125005020180] |Applications -> Internet -> Likewise to join my computer to an active directory domain.
[125005020190] |The only information we needed for successfully joining the AD domain was
[125005020200] |1) The name of the domain to join
[125005020210] |2) A domain administrator username and password
[125005020220] |Enter that information into the application and lick the “join” button.
[125005020230] |In order to log in with a domain account, log out of your current session.
