I built the haskell platform as stated on the haskell package site.
After make install I was told the files were installed to /usr/local/bin
How do I run the haskell platform after this step?
TL;DR --> I want to know how to make an old account show up after reinstallation of Ubuntu so that I can log in to that account and not have to reinstall all the other software I had installed on that account already.
I installed kubuntu-desktop once my ubuntu installation was done. I became unhappy with it and so I un-installed it.
To un-install it I re-logged in to the unity workspace stuff and removed all the KDE packages.
When I restarted my PC the ubuntu loading screen would show and then the screen would go blank, since I assumed that this means that the computer is not hung up and working I pressed Alt-Shift-F5 to open the shell. I couldn't find a way to make the greeter show up. I checked whether or not it was installed, and it was installed.
Since I couldn't find a solution to it I loaded the LiveUSB and reinstalled Ubuntu. But this time I couldn't use the already set up account (abc) again when it asked me to make an account, so I made a new account abc_new
After installation the login screen came up just fine but I was expecting account abc to be part of the list of logginable accounts. But its not there.
I want to know how to make it show up so that I don't have to reinstall all the other software I had installed already?
I want to install Octave on my Ubuntu LTS with apt-get. The problem is that the official repositories list only Octave 3.0 and Octave 3.2, whereas the latest Octave is Octave 3.6.
How do I update the repositories of apt-get to get Octave 3.6?
The question is pretty self-explanatory. I have a 2.8Ghz, 1GB RAM PC at my office. Windows is really slow on it and the Android Emulator never works properly on it. I am sure that Linux will definitely improve performance. What I can't decide is which version I should install?
P.S. Where can I find older versions of Ubuntu?
I frequently leave my laptop idle and close the lid when i do so. Problem is that the wireless turns off if i do so and my downloads can't happen.
Is there anyway to prevent that from happening? I am using 10.04.
P.S. I have already disabled suspend from happening on default
I had to update my Firefox from ver 3 (i.e. the one that Ubuntu 10.04 ships with) and move it to Firefox 7.
So firefox gave a tar.gz file to extract the browser from. I ran sudo apt-get remove firefox, and then extracted the contents of the tarball to /opt/. But when i type the command firefox in the terminal it responds by saying firefox not installed. I am now using a launch shortcut to open firefox, but what i want to know is
How can I install the application so that I can open it from the terminal?
I am totally new to C++ programming on gcc. I wanted to add color to my text on the output on the console. Since there is no conio.h on linux, I researched and found that ncurses.h could do the trick. Now the only problem is that I do not know how to download it and then add the library. Can someone please describe the method?
Also, if anybody can describe whether ncurses.h is a better option than curses.h or if I am completely wrong in using curses.h?
