Wow!Quite a lot of needs!OK, first of all you should forget a lot of "obvious" things which are not so obvious at all.Drivers is one of the main problem in personal usage field. For instance my printer does not have drivers for windows seven nor windows vista. So, thinking that windows has drivers for everything is false. You are supposed, before buying some device, to look if drivers for your version of windows or your version of Linux do exist, else simply do not buy this device.Secondly, there are some standard ways to do in Linux world. And most of them are not available through videos, they are available from books or from tutorials on the net.The first thing is that polite people, when they pack a software like adobe flash player, usually put this in a .tgz file. Usually you have first to unpack that file, and then see what are in the unpacked package. Usually it is a something.rpm file, you simply have to click on it. And usually there is a readme or README or readme.first or readme.install or readme.something.txt file saying how to install it. If this software is not packed that way, you have to go to another place.Also communication between PC's can be something rather complicated if you want to have several networks on several machines.For instance, if you want your Linux machine to be on a separate system and share the internet connection available on a PC with a USB dongle, you have to install a (preferably free) proxy server on your PC and configure your Linux machine to use this proxy. However, if your Linux machine is a virtual machine on the same PC, simply use the NAT facilities coming with the virtual environment, everything will work fine without any pain. When installing, Linux will see the NAT network as it's main network, and will access Internet normally.NFS is the standard Unix (so also Linux) way for sharing files between Linux and other Linux or Unix machines. If you want to communicate with the Windows world, you will need to configure a Samba server (or client, depending if the shared files are on the Linux or on the windows machine). And you guess that this inter-os communication question is not a Linux problem, because in a pure Linux world it does not exist. The problem is if you want to make two different world communicate without any misunderstanding.So, maybe, instead of saying "I want a video explaining everything immediately", maybe you should ask one thing after the other one. For instance, ask "how do I install flash on Linux?"

First of all tell us what you really want to do on your main OS.If you want to use it as most of people use their Windows system, then it works the same way : you click and you wait.Terminal commands are for advanced users, exactly as on Windows systems.Do you use "cmd" line commands on your current computer? If yes, which command lines do you type ? Quite a lot of command-line instructions are exactly the same:- mkdir- rmdir- cd

Precisely. You order paid hosting from Xisto, and you pay with the MayCents you earned while posting.

The Disadvantage Of Google google offers too many options
yordan replied to zenia's topic in Search Engines
Still the same old First Principle.If you want something not to be heard, don't shout it on the street.If you don't want some picture to be seen, don't post it on the web. -
OK, algo, I removed the ban.However, please stop your spamming games, else the ban will come back and will stay definitely.

The Great Processor Debate Its amazing no one did this...
yordan replied to xboxrulz1405241485's topic in Hardware Workshop
Huh ? Your comparison is not completely honest. You are comparing the most modern smartphone, with a previous generation PC.Now the current PC's you buy in a supermarket have 4 ou 8 cpu's, and at least 4 gigs memory and 1 Terabyte disk. -
Of course. However, quite a lot of applications work only with IE6. For professional purposes these people need to stick with IE6. And, of course, I just wanted to show that the PC and the router are able to reach the modern-stytle websites, and I'm happy that this demonstration was possible without touching the Crosoft install by itself.

You are partly right. However, you will hardly find inside a mobile device as much room for cpu's, memory, hard drives, cooling power, as well as a comfortable keyboard and a 22-inch screen. -
Today"s funny thing. My friend could not connect to his gmail mailbox. I came with my Firefoxportable on my USB stick, and I showed him how to use it. So he could simply use the Portable Firefox where his PC's Windows Internet Explorer could not work correctly. So, a fast diagnosis without installing or uninstalling everything. Then I said : "You have two solutions : 1) You upgrade your IE version to a more modern one, but you could have problem with your favourite websites which work correctly with IE6 only 2) You work with my portable Firefox version, if you happen to not love it any more, simply remove the folder."
-
When I am on a friend's computer, I don't want to install things, putting strange things in the Windows Registry. That's why I use the portable version of Firefox. If my firefox does not work any more, I simply remove the files from the PC and I am back to the previous stage. If I want to debug, I uncompress the original file and check that evrything is OK again. Then I add my "profile" folder, and see that nothing works again. Which means that the problem is coming from my own local settings.

Making Dual Monitors Work Like Two Entirely Different Computers
yordan replied to Ahsaniqbalkmc's topic in Hardware Workshop
You know, each guy can create his own Unix on any hardware. Providing that you have a C compiler on your hardware, students at school learn how to compile (three main steps) starting from a very simple source and enriching it at each step. Of course at the and you need to add drivers, which is quite another question.But a question directly related to your vmware previous question. You can do anything you want provided that the vmware team guys added the drivers for that. For instance the vmware network adapters relying on the physical adapters of the host system. -

The Guy who made this particular form of Unix had Linus as first name, that's why Linus's Unix is name Linux. -
At least no computer expert answered your question in less than one hour. And due to the way you express yourself, I guess that nobody wants to share some knowledge with you. Of course, your problem is a rather simple one. Each computer comes with his own XP installation CD. A laptop does not boot from the same install CD as a desktop, because the hardwares are different, so the drivers are different, mainly from the display and motherboard point of view. You simply have a Windows XP CD which does not match your laptop hardware. Where did you get this laptop and this CD? The best way to solve your problem is to go to laptop manufacturer's website, go to the support section, and ask them to provide you with a new installation CD for your very precise laptop, the model references are probably written under the laptop. Of course, this kind of requirement is a free operation during the guarantee period. After that, you will have to pay a little amount of money for that. Also check that you don't have any hardware problem, i would test this with a LiveCD like Mandriva One CD ; if you are able too boot off the Mandriva one CD and are able to surf on the web, then you have no hardware problem.

Of course, but you are also in the "your voice, your review", where we ask you to review a very precise website or websomething, and not talking about "in general".Or were you talking precisely about x10hosting ?

Unix is the today's standard. It has different implementations, depending from the hardware on which it is.It's named AIX on PowerPC, Power6 or Power7 processors.It's named Sun-OS on Sun systemsIt's name HP-UX on HP systems.And it's named Linux mainly on X86 or compatible systems.The main Unix divisions are ATT-based Unix systems and Berkel-based Unix systems.Linux is a "almost" pure Unix, with rather few deviances from the standards.Unfortunately some very important commands, like "shutdown" are different in Linux, which makes me very angry when I powerdown a system instead of rebooting it. -

This is not due to the virtual environment. You will have exactly the same problem with a standalone physical system.This is a very common decision in the current way of installing machines, some people think that you should never be able to directly log in as root. So some Linux system installs prevent you from directly logging as root. -----------------------------------------EDIT------ concerning the root login, follow the following tutorial : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It will show you how to grant connect in graphic mode to the admin user root. This tutorial was mentioned here : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I did not try it yet, but it should work. Also have a look here : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and, of course, before doing this, backup your vmware machine, just in case. If you are successful, drop the backup in order to save disk space. -
Just installed portable firefox 10, the beta version. Now the portable version has national language, till now the portable versions only had English Menus and English popups.

Huh? What are you talking about? Yes, I had a look, and saw this :

First of all do not change your current OS toward a new one you don't master yet. You should first try on another machine which could be sacrificed, in order to test the new OS and see if it meets your purposes. -
Last time I used co.cc, Xisto was not shown in the browser, as far as I remember there was an option "hide URL" in the co.cc configuration menu.
-
username.co.cc is defined at co.cc side.username.astahost.com is defined at Xisto side, nothing more to be done.------EDITIt's exactly as simple as that.Your subdomain is something like yourname.trap17.com, you want to create a website in the sandbox folder, at Xisto side it will be reached as yourname.trap17.com/sandbox and at co.cc side you ask yourthing.co.cc to point to yourname.trap17.com/sandboxIt shoud work fluently.

This is a somehow violent solution, it's a "chmod 777", but it works.A smarter solution is to read the install doc, which says the permissions to be set on some temp folders.The reason for the problem is that the owner of the files, the guy who did the ftp, is not the user who starts php and mysql.You know, Unix has rather few protections, but enough for preventing us from working comfortably!
