I installed Ubuntu 12.04 along with a few other Linux distros to a 64GB usb drive with a Windows program called "YUMI". I love Ubuntu and it's my favorite. The only problem I'm having is that when I download something I can't save it to the USB drive.
I mounted the USB drive and was able to create files from the terminal by using the sudo command.
I was finding that if any way to remove the installed windows program in ubuntu. then i found a forum here http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#uninstall_app.
Sorry if I'm repeating a question, but I searched & didn't find a thread that was directly on point.
I'm trying to save a .odt file to a virtual-machine shared folder in the /File_System/media directory on ubuntu, but I keep getting messages that the File System is read-only & won't allow me to save anything there.
I have been using PlayOnLinux to run windows programs on Linux.
PlayOnLinux creates a virtual drive for each program installed and every VD represents a different Windows XP computer.
Any changes made by the program stay within its own VD only.
I have a RAID 1 system for my Win7. On the same computer I have a third disc, not part of the Raid, on which I have installed Ubuntu 11.10. I choose which OS to boot into at startup.
I'm a web developer, but new to linux. I am currently running ubuntu 11.10 with a gnome shell and wine (I think 1.3). I've installed microsoft office 2007, and worked through a small issue with powerpoint not running. So one little issue left, I can't save files, and I can't open files.
I've checked all over the various forums, and haven't found a solution yet.
I currently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04.1 64bit and installed Gimp 2.8.2.
Then I found a serious problem. I use NAS to store all my work files and access them via Samba file sharing, but when I try to save a file over the network in Gimp 2.8, I get message telling me the location is not found.
I have a big data file need to write to NFS directory which is mapped under a Windows system.
I have no internet on Ubuntu 12.04.1 so i'm on a desktop so I got to install a .exe program to run my wireless card for my desktop so I got internet access, But I can't seem to download wine or its source files. If I do I put on my usb and boot into Ubuntu but then when I try to open it I get the programs source files etc.
