I wanted to know the packages which are installed and starting with mos then below command not working.
dpkg -l | grep ^mos*
I read that terminal is nothing but shell, and Unix provides different flavors of shells:
- Bourne shell (sh)
- C shell (csh)
- TC shell (tcsh)
- Korn shell (ksh)
- Bourne Again shell (bash)
Questions:
- When I open a terminal window, which shell is opened by default?
- How do I check how many shells are installed?
- How do I change the shell used from my account?
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 alongside Windows 7 on my DELL INSPIRON 14z 5423 laptop and I'm new to all of this.
I'm using the Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit ISO burned onto a CD.
The first time I tried to install it, Ubuntu said it did not detect any other OS, which meant I only had 4 options:
- Erase disk and install Ubuntu (I don't want to do this)
- Encrypt new Ubuntu.
- Use LVM.
- Something else.
If I choose the Something else option, it brings me to the partition menu and says that I have 1 disk with free space of (500Gb), but that's not true because I have Windows 7.
I restarted the laptop several times and booted the CD again and I got exactly the same as I did previously.
How do fix this problem and install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7?
