linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and use Firefox as my web browser: I am also using Windows XP with Firefox as my web browser. I am trying to pension off the Windows machine and get all my programs to run under linux but whenever I go on-line with the linux machine no matter what I am doing, after a short time I get a "can find server at xxx", then if I click on the "Try Again" button it sometimes finds it after a few seconds and other times takes me back to the error message. My connection is via satellite (NBN Co) so this could be the the problem but the Windows machine sit (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Timing out whilst on-line

I know this may be just me being a little bias on OS's but... I quite honestly believe that "some" programs run faster on linux than on windows.

Open Office for example, It runs amazingly fast on my linux distro but runs horribly (laggy) on my Vista machine.

Firefox also appears to run faster on my linux machine than on my Vista machine.

Hello all, I am really new to Ubuntu, and I am trying to install it on a computer running Windows XP. I downloaded it on a machine running Windows vista and I formatted my flash drive using "LiLi USB creator". I then took it over to the machine running XP and booted up on the USB. It took me over the installation procces and then told me to boot up.

When I want to work on my local Linux machines from windows, I use Putty+Xming and I set the Xming port in Putty connection settings. This way I have a terminal on the machine and if, for example, I run the command 'firefox' a firefox window is opened in Windows (while it is really running on the Linux machine).

I have 4 machines set up. 2 are running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 1 is running Windows 2003 server, and 1 is dual booting WinXP and Win7. 1 of the Ubuntu machines is configured to share out 2 disk volumes ("Data" and "DiskImages". My windows machines can see these shares. My other Ubuntu machine cannot.

Network sharing "Question" 31 weeks 5 days ago

Hi,

I'm trying to set up connection sharing in fedora 15 to a windows machine I have the following set up

Modem to Router Router to Linux machine "Wifi" Eth0 set to share the connection.

I get Internet on the windows machine no problem, then issue is when hosting a game server on the windows machine no one can connect to my server, by my external ip.

I've been reading info

When I run firefox and do something that requires a pop-up window from the browser itself, there is about a 30 second delay before that pop-up window actually occurs. During that time, the browser is completely hung and everything is blank.

Hi all,

After I establish an SSH tunnel (using Putty) from my Windows machine at work and then try to connect using tightvncviewer to my ubuntu 12.04 machine at home all I get is a black screen. Meanwhile the client machine pops up a message asking to "allow" or "refuse" my connection.

[ubuntu] Samba problems 2 years 44 weeks ago

Like many people it seems, I'm having trouble connecting to a Samba share on a machine running Lucid, in my case from a Windows 7 machine. I've tried all of the usual suggestions I can find. I can see the share from my windows machine, and when I try to connect to it, I get a Windows prompt "Enter network password".
