Questions[windows-xp](ubuntu)

I am running Windows XP as a guest on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with qemu/kvm.
I want to use this Windows instance to manage my CCTV IP camera which uses ActiveX applets.

I need this Windows XP to get IP from the same subnetwork as IP camera is.
How can I configure this Virtual Machine using Virtual Machine Manager?

I use a laptop, so my main connection is WiFi (inteface name wlp2s0).

In the /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml I have

# Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: NetworkManager

And if I edit the content of my /etc/network/interfaces I get no connection to the internet (laptop does not bring up the WiFi connection)

I tried this tutorial without any success

Then I tried this one. Here is said "Then add the Ethernet interface as a port in the bridge..." and I noticed that nmcli command can be passed type argument. I read help about that argument and I managed to pass wifi ssid MYSSID arguments to configure that bridge with my WiFi connection.

So I managed to pull these commands:

sudo nmcli conn add type bridge con-name br0 ifname br0
sudo nmcli conn add type wifi ssid MYSSID slave-type bridge con-name bridge-br0 ifname enp1s0 master br0

In the second one I changed ethernet to wifi ssid

sudo nmcli conn show --active
sudo nmcli conn up br0

Then the tutorial says I need to put down the ethernet connection - so I thought that in my case I need to put down wifi connection.

How come this should work? I want my laptop to have a connection and my bridged virtual guest operating system to have one.

When I issue ip a the br0 connection does not have an IP address from DHCP.

If I bring up WiFi connection no new IP address shows up on the bridge interface (ip a)

Is it possible to boot Ubuntu using the Windows bootloader?

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2 on a partition separate partition from Windows and was wanting to know how to add the OS to the boot.ini so I can boot into Ubuntu.

My mom's ancient Winbook laptop, using Windows XP Professional, was also hooked up to a wireless keyboard and mouse. Unfortunately, this caused it to only accept the account password at the login screen correctly when typed using the wireless keyboard, and after a software update the wireless keyboard stopped working, leaving only the laptop's own keyboard.

How can I use an Ubuntu LiveCD to reset a Windows XP password?

I installed Ubuntu in the dual-boot configuration so that I can still boot up in Windows. But I just want to get Windows off of the machine.

Anyone know how to do this without having to go through another Ubuntu install? Also are all of the Ubuntu updates safe to take? Does Ubuntu have restore points in case something goes haywire from the updates?

I'm setting up a Maverick server on a spare PC. The install completes fine and the system boots up into the shell. However, when I try to do a apt-get update , apt hangs on almost every entry with the message 99% [Waiting for headers] sometimes a message of 96 b/s appears on the far right. The actual percent that it claims also varies.

Searching around online gave a potential solution by using the option Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth="0" this somewhat alleviates the problem, i.e. it stalls on every other entry with the same message as above.

If you wait it out (the whole update took about 4 hours), the update still fails as a good portion of the hits show a "unable to connect" or similar message, despite the fact that I can ping the server from the pc just fine.

The problem is also unrelated to the mirror used since I've tried about a dozen mirrors with no success, I've even tried commenting out everything but the main entry in sources.list and it still refuses to update.

The network connection is fine since I can ping and wget (apt won't let me install lynx until I run a successful update) just fine. I've also reinstalled the distro with no luck.

The only thing weird about the setup is that the PC is connecting to the internet through my windows laptop with ICS configured properly, but as I've said before, the network connection is fine.
