There are other desktop environments you can try out as well. I've been
using KDE on my 11.10 install & quiet happy with it.

If you are looking for a more gnome-ish experience, then there is Cinnamon
as well which you can easily install & try.

Dear Vishal,

Thanks for your kind response. I'm open to any kind of opportunity and
what you have detailed out sounds really good. I believe that in such
an environment I can learn a lot. I would be really grateful if you

[ubuntu-in] Looking for a Linux job opportunity

2010-02-14 Thread Sarfaraz Kazi
Dear List Members,

I'm a Commerce graduate and I've been working in the HR/Admin
back-office related field for the past 6 years. However, I've come to
realise that I'm not suited for this field of work and I wish to
change my field of work.

I've been using Linux on my home machine for the past 7 years and have
been an ardent supporter of the FLOSS movement. I'm well-versed with
the basics of a Linux-based system and have worked with various
applications. I would love to explore the opportunity of working in
any Linux related field. I'm willing to start from the very bottom
without any salary expectations and working hours and location
constraints.

I request the List members to kindly guide me further in this regard.
Any references, openings or opportunities will be highly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

Regards,
Sarfaraz Kazi

You can try a few things. Go to Machine > Settings and click on USB in
the left pane and confirm that both the checkboxes are enabled.

Secondly, with your USB drive connected, click on the "Add filter from
device" button on the right-hand side. This will show you the
connected USB drive, just select it. Then unmount the USB drive. After
this load, load your virtual machine and then connect the USB device.
Now hopefully the device will show up.
