Hi this is Palak Sharma I am in second year of my engineering. I like doing coding in different programming languages. Python and PHP are my favorite programming languages. Currently I am working in windows 7, 10 and 11. Now I am looking to work in Linux OS can anyone suggest some Online Linux Terminal and is it important to use it with Linux OS? Waiting for some positive responses, would be a great support in this regard. Thanks

Hello,I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 - the Jaunty Jackalope released in April 2009 -, since a few years, and I was really glad to have a so good system and did never have any major issues, it was just fantastic... But, since a few months I noticed that I can't install or update any program using the synaptic package manager, my VLC doesn't work anymore, etc. Well, I still using it, and I tried some new distributions like Ubuntu 12.04, which is long term supported... but I didn't find everything I liked in 9.04. As I use it in some old laptops, I would like to find an OS at least as good as Ubuntu 9.04.Which distribution do you recommend me?

I installed ubuntu 12.04 as soon as I got informed that there is a new version of ubuntu LTS available. The main purpose of this installation was to play with ubuntu and get myself familiar with the linux ecosystem. So I was making a lot of experiments and editing a lot of files. But fortunately for me, I almost always knew what I was doing.On my windows machine, I have connectify that makes my laptop act as a virtual router so that I can connect my mobile phone through the wifi and use the internet connection of the DSL cable to my laptop. I wanted to create a similar setup on the Ubuntu. I searched online for solutions and found that linux has built in support to create ad-hoc networks. Unfortunately, my phone is an android phone and it doesn't detect ad-hoc networks.So I continued my research. Then I found that there is an application named "hostapd" that acts the same as "connectify" on windows. So I installed it and made the configurations necessary for it. But it didn't work. Then I searched online for solutions and found somewhere that I need to have a DHCP server installed in order for it to work so I installed a dhcp server (apt-get install dhcp3-server) without any luck. Then I searched more and found some tutorial that had used "firestarter" to create a similar wifi connection. I followd the tutorial and edited my network configuration file (I don't exactly remember the name and address of the file).After that when I restarted my computer, I got a message on the boot up screen "waiting for network to start" or something like that, Then another message saying "Waiting 60 more seconds for the network to start" and then finally, "Starting without network".After that my internet connection is not working. I tried the ubuntu recovery mode and selected "start network" from there but all in vain. So now i see that my network has been stated as "UNMANAGED NETWORK" and I can't connect to it.Is there any solution to the problem?
