Hello everybody, I am a new linux user. I have recently switched to Ubuntu 8.04 from Windows XP. I am facing some problems. Here they are:
1. I connect to the internet via SonyEricsson k550i using "wvdial". Every time i have to open the terminal and write "wvdial gpinternet&" to get connected to the internet and have to keep terminal open. Is there any way to connect to the internet bypassing terminal. Or, how can i keep my net connection intact after closing the terminal? 2. I have downloaded glest_3.1.2.tar.gz from www.sourceforge.net, but i cannot install it on my PC. I have seen "glest" available through Synaptic. But for that i have to download ~65MB [given the electricity condition and speed of internet in Bangladesh]. Could you please tell me the procedure of compiling/installing "glest" ? 3. I used MikTeX and WinEdt in Windows XP for preparing my reports,etc. I have found MikTeX for linux in Sourceforge but could not find anything replacing WinEdt. I have heard about "Kile" but i really don't know how to integrate it with MikTeX to compile TeX files and make/convert those to PDF. I also have a TexLive2007 CD. But still the problem is integrating it with a LaTeX IDE like WinEdt. Please help. 4. I have installed MATLAB R2007a UNIX on my Ubuntu 8.04. But i could not find Image Acquisition Toolbox. I have done a "Full Install" so i think the toolbox was not in the DVD image. Can i have it installed manually now? Please do not get bothered by my long mail. I am a novice linux user with a lot of questions in my mind about doing all the things i need to do in linux just like in windows.
