The processor supports hardware Virtualization. Now ensure that it is 
enabled. (typically from BIOS)

Install KVM and management utilities like virt-manager from synaptic.

Start Installing and managing other OS invoking, Applications --> System 
Tools --> Virtual Machine Manager

http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-9.04 should 
be of help.

I run KVM, which Ubuntu has started supporting out of box by default.

But to run Windows the processor should support Virtualization. 
(Intel-VT or AMD-V)

You can do it by giving this command.

/$ egrep -e 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo/

If this returns something, then you can make use xen or kvm for running 
windows.

well for a given package, you can check the updates and back-ports,

like,

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-updates/kdepasswd
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-backports/kdepasswd
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/kdepasswd

Well, I un-installed all packages related to network-manager, chose to 
re-install from the dvd repository, and is now able to connect now.

A sort of treatment, when everything else to play a transistor fails, 
giving it a big hit makes it play.. ;-)

Well, On a desktop pc with Ubuntu 8.10 it got detected but while
attempting the connect, the system got hung.

I was able to connect in the same pc on Fedora 10.

I did it in vain. It worked when I had Intrepid, failing now with Jaunty.

[ubuntu-in] tataindicom plug2surf jaunty

2009-06-18 Thread amachu

Hi,

It was working fine in Intrepid. Now in Jaunty,

Plugging Tataindicom Plug2surf USB modem gets trapped as //dev/ttyACM0/

Here are my /etc/wvdial.conf contents,

/[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = #777
ISDN = 0
Username = internet
Init1 = ATZ
Password = internet
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800

/Issuing a /'sudo wvdial'/ command could not help connecting to 
Internet. Here is the log that gets repeated,

/
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT#777
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT#777
CONNECT
--> Carrier detected.  Waiting for prompt.
--> Connected, but carrier signal lost!  Retrying...
--> Sending: ATDT#777
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT#777


/

Did anyone face similar problem with Jaunty? Any solution?

Trying it with Network-manager didn't help either.

Shinde,

Is IITM mirror the same as what Prakash is also mentioning? or
different?

Prakash,

My Ubuntu India Mirror did you mention the one at IITM or somewhere
else?

[ubuntu-in] Tea with Ubuntu...

2008-05-27 Thread Amachu
Dudes,

Ubuntu Tamil Team(1) is on the eve of entering its third year. Ubuntu Kaippidi 
Thozargal Scheme is about to get launched. And we also wanna make Mr. Heron's 
catching easier. 

Hope no one needs a better reason than these three to come together.

Do join us at 4.30 PM of 31 May 2008, at Hotel Woodlands of Narada Gana Sabha, 
TTK Road, Alwarpet, Chennai to share tea and rejoice.

Do not forget to invite others around you and lets' make this a memorable 
event.

do you have tamil or indic fonts installed in your ubuntu?

do an apt-get install ttf-indic-fonts and try to open the same file in gedit.

does it help?
