I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I can't print anything in Bengali in Python console and Ubuntu terminal! When I try to print some Bengali characters in console or try to write Bengali in the terminal I just see some broken words! You can see it in my screenshot:
The same code is being used to show Bengali characters in CMD window of Windows 7, so I am sure that this is not a programming problem, rather Ubuntu is not showing Bengali in my PC correctly. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Well I am fairly new in Ubuntu world. New to Terminal too. Asfaik I can use the command cd - to go back to the previous directory. Now lets say I am in a directory which is home/dir1/dir2/dir3/mydir. Well now if I write cd - terminal will send me to dir3 but if I want to go to dir2 and I write cd - terminal takes me to mydir again! And then if I write cd - again terminal takes me to dir3 as expected. It means I fall into a loop. Can anyone tell me how can....
dir2 from mydir?mydir to dir3 and then dir3 to dir2 without falling into any loop?Thanks for the answer.
Some sound files in Ubuntu gives cracked sound, but the same files run on Windows without any problem! Why it is happening? Moreover, when I record screen captures and record sound using a microphone, I hear crusty sound in reply. But same speaker works smoothly in Windows.... How do I solve this?

I wonder if there is any facebook chatting tool available for Ubuntu. The tool might contain these features:
Firefox prompted me to install a facebook tool. I did but then quickly removed it as it often crashes!
I have been using Ubuntu during 20+ days. I am now using a 3G wireless modem (huawei e303-h1) to connect with internet. My modem's software is specially designed for Windows. So whenever I connect it in Windows I see a nice GUI which allows me to call, send sms, receive phone calls, monitor network speed and data etc. convenient features. I just want to know if I can install a software on Ubuntu for this modem to do same things that I can do in Windows. Is there any free open source software which can offer me such features?
How can I create a shortcut of my frequently used software, files and folders? I did some research and found a way which tells I can do so by making a link of a folder and then copy paste the link on the desktop. I did but each time I reboot my PC I see the shortcut is broken! Then I read this answer and followed the ways mentioned in the answers with no luck!
Isn't there any way to create shortcuts like Windows in Linux?
I just installed SimpleScreenRecorder to record my screens with audio. SSR is working smoothly. Only problem is my voices are not recording with pullseaudio as Backend! When I record audio using ALSA I hear sounds but the sound is very very very noisy. On the other hand with Pulseaudio I simply don't hear even any pin drop sound. I guess my pulseaudio needs some treatment. How to solve the problem and how can I get smooth audio recording using SimpleScreenRecorder?
Today I connected my Amazon Kindle via a USB port. When I wanted to disconnect my kindle, I didn't see any option to remove USB device from the PC.
I am searching for the 'safe remove hardware' functionality in like in Windows. I'm afraid I'll make things crash and loose all my data if I just disconnect the USB cable by hand.
How can I remove USB devices safely from my PC in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
In windows I can easily delete a FF bookmark. To do so I just click on Bookmarks button. Then a list of bookmarks appears and I just right click on the bookmark which I want to delete and once a menu come with delete option I just click on this. Thats all. But in Ubuntu I see bookmark deletion is not that easy. If I open a list of bookmark and then right click on the bookmark browser actually takes me to the link as I did a left click! To delete a bookmark I just click on Bookmarks>Show All Bookmarks>All bookmarks>Bookmarks menu and then finally right click on the bookmark I want to delete and then click one the newly appeared delete menu. This sucks time. What is the easiest way to do so? Or I guess my mouse buttons are not properly setup?
As far as I know I can uninstall a program from Ubuntu using this command...
$ sudo dpkg -r packagename
But this does not remove the dependencies while the packagename installed. To remove all files including dependencies we need to apply this command...
$ sudo apt-get --purge autoremove packagename
But my question is removing the package and all its dependencies is really a good practice? Will --purge autoremove command make my system as it before installing the packagename package? Or occasionally I might end up with some broken files and my system might crash while trying to remove everything? Actually I am afraid to implement the --purge autoremove command and want to know expert opinion before practising this!
Well I did search through AskUbuntu and found some threads where people are asking about how can they install multiple fonts at once? I know the process. I have to copy-paste all the fonts, .ttf/.otf files inside of .font hidden folder and then rebuild the font cash via this command...
fc-cache -rv
This is crystal clear. I just want to know this...
I downloaded 10+ .zip font files. When I extracted the .zip folders I see within each folder there are couple of files. A readme file, a .ttf/.otf file and in some cases some variants of the fonts. Like bold.ttf, ultra_bold.ttf, semi_bold.ttf, black.ttf etc. I am not sure what these additional files are but I guess these are mainly variants of the core fonts. However my question is...
Do I need to extract all the .zip files manually and then copy only .ttf/.otf files and then paste them manually in .font folder? Or I can use a terminal command which will do everything on behalf of me. Here by the word everything I meant...
Sorry for asking a broad question. But to avoid down votes I had to make sure I am not asking anything which is asked before. And thanks in advanced for all your helps.

Well I have been using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for nearly 1 week. I have noticed whenever my laptop runs on Ubuntu its battery last only half an hour. On the other hand when I run laptop on Windows 7 battery last nearly 1 hour! This is amazing. I always thought Linux is far away than windows in every technical aspects. But unfortunately this is not true when it comes to power management technology! Well I did read some old posts in Ubuntu forum and here on askubuntu too. I see many experts (or at least experienced users) not acknowledging this fact and often they are saying this is simply not true. They showed many statistics from their end but to me none of them are convincing at all. However I myself did few tests and here is my test results...
I did this litmus test 2 times more. Here are the results....
So this is clear Ubuntu failed in race with Windows7. Well now my question is how to solve this problem? The only reason why I provided you test results is because some guys might start arguing that Ubuntu is not consuming more power than Windows and I know which is simple not true. At least in my tests I didn't get any evidence to agree with them.
Well I am a newbie in Linux world. Everyday learning by working. I use dual booting and in one drive Windows 7 is installed and in another drive Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is installed. My first O/S was windows 7. There was few drives like Workshop, Movies, Soft etc. Now I was about to change drives in terminal to access files stored in different drives. After spending couple of hours I discovered a way to access different files in different drives. What I did is first of all I mounted lets say /dev/sda2 drive in /media/username folder using this command....
$ sudo mount /dev/sda2/ media/username
Once mounted then I can easily change directories by using cd command.
Now my questions are...
$cd /media/username but how to go backward?
I mean go back to root or go back to media? In windows CMD I am
using cd.. to go one folder back. Is there any similar command for
terminal?/ directory. If so then it might don't respect windows
drive systems. If so then all files should be accessed without
mounting any drive to /media/username folder?
Well I saw youtube videos even yesterday. But now I see this message...
your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available
Can anyone tell me how can I fix this in Ubuntu 14.04?
Sometimes I want to install a program when offline. But apt-get downloads as you install.
Is there a way to install a program, like you would install a .exe, on Ubuntu?
Well my question is unique. Because I want to know how can I install Ubuntu from HDD or a USB while the answer provided within the link someone said is duplicate is actually on how one can install Ubuntu from a DVD. I don't have any blank DVD to burn. So I want to install Ubuntu DIRECTLY from HDD mainly. But if it is not possible then I can install from USB too.
I am completely new in Linux world. Just want to taste Ubuntu as I listened lots of sweet words about it. However I just downloaded
