gabriel's questions

I hope that I name it that right. I have a root partition a home partition and swap. All I want is to add a partition for windows. BUT my drive is full so I want to shrink the logical home partition 900gb and then assign the 100 gb to windows ntfs. The problem is that the home partition is under extended and when I shrink it the 100 gb for Windows is under extended too. I cannot get it to primary, always logical. How can i change this without data loss? I do not have external drive to empty my drive.

I have a dual boot system with Ubuntu 13.04 and Windows 8 in perfect harmony. I have installed in windows an application so that I can mount the home (ext4) partition in windows. I am using Windows 8 only for DJ and audio production purposes, with Traktor and Ableton installed.

I am using Dropbox and Ubuntu One so I want to sync my Dropbox and Ubuntu One files that I have uploaded to cloud from both systems. If I am in windows then the music of my home partition will be synced from Ubuntu One. Is that possible? What should I do?

I want to install ubuntu-one BUT any time i am trying there is no success! So, any help? Ubuntu studio 12.04 uses XFCE and nautilus as file manager. SO where is the problem?

Edit 1: Well, if i install from terminal then when i start the ubuntu one it starts to install. So, the procedure continues and suddnly the windows closes and then if i try to open again ubuntu one nothing happens.

Edit 2: When I run ubuntuone-installer from terminal i have

gabriel@gabriel-Desktop:~$ Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntuone-control-panel-qt", line 29, in <module>
    from ubuntuone.controlpanel.gui.qt import main

Edit 3:

gabriel@gabriel-Desktop:~$ ubuntuone-client
ubuntuone-client: command not found

this is what I get when I run ubuntuone-client or sudo ubuntuone-client

I am running ubuntu 12.04 64 bit on 4-core cpu and what i am facing is that when i open a .psd file or a heavy .xcf/.psd file my gimp sends me a "force quit" message. I am using gimp for professional image editing so please tell me what i should do. Thanks

What i want is to compile latest blender from SVN. I am using this guide My issues are:

How can i install it with the final .deb created file and how can i give this package to a ppa! So, when i execute

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential gettext \ libxi-dev libsndfile1-dev \ libpng12-dev libfftw3-dev \ libopenexr-dev libopenjpeg-dev \ libopenal-dev libalut-dev libvorbis-dev \ libglu1-mesa-dev libsdl1.2-dev libfreetype6-dev \ libtiff4-dev libavdevice-dev \ libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libjack-dev \ libswscale-dev libx264-dev libmp3lame-dev python3.2-dev \ libspnav-dev

it gives me this

The following packages have unmet dependencies: libjack-dev : Depends: libjack0 (= 1:0.121.0+svn4538-3ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I know that skype does not allow the installation of those libraries.

Thanks

My problem is that i want to install latest blender and upgrade it automatically via sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade . So, i tried to add a repository

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cheleb/blender-svn 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender

So, after the first line executed in terminal it gives me:

You are about to add the following PPA to your system:
 tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted
 More info: https://launchpad.net/~cheleb/+archive/blender-svn
Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it

 gpg: "tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted" not a key ID: skipping

And when i am running the second line it gives me:

ones used instead.

Q: why this ppa does not work and what should i do to have blender updated automatically!?!Thanks

I do not want to discuss about C++ or any programming language!I just want to know what am i doing wrong with linux ubuntu about compiling helloworld.cpp!

I am learning C++ so my steps are:

open hello.cpp in vim and write this

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
    cout << "Hello World!\n";`
    return 0;
}

So, after that i tried in the terminal this

g++ hello.cpp

AND the output is

hello.cpp:1:22: fatal error: iostream.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

What do you suggest? Any useful step by step guide for me?Thanks!

What i want is to run from terminal sudo apt-get install gimp but also install all the available plugins!

So, i tried this sudo apt-get install gimp* BUT this installed all the packages with name gimpblablabla. So which is the right way to do this?

Thanks

edit---->

So, from software center i am installing gimp and check all the boxes for what i want! The alternative to it from terminal is sudo apt-get install gimp gimp-plugin-registry gimp-cbmplugs extremetuxracer-gimp-dev?NO right?

Well, that question was not only for gimp but for other applications too!So, i want this for a deeper knowledge of installing from terminal! If i want to list for example the available plugins for gimp what is the way?

I hope it is not so confusing! Thanks very much for your answers!

My computer has a CPU with 4 cores and 4GB RAM.

What I want is to find out, if I am using all the available power that my PC offers to me? How can I do this?

Well, after I installed freecad on my Ubuntu 12.04 with the help of this blog I started asking about compiling and building from source.

So, when we are trying to install a package some times the terminal or the software center says that some packages are missing. The sudo apt-get build-dep package_name is a general command that finds and installs dependencies right?

My main questions here are:

1. From where is it finding the missing packages, repository?
2. Can we use this command for any application? Or only those that the packages are in our repositories?

I recently downloaded Team Viewer on my Ubuntu system, so my question is:

1. Does it run through wine?
2. And if yes, why is this a .deb file?
3. Is it possible to make .deb files but running with wine?

Edit: When I launched it for first time wine configuration showed up. Is it necessary to post a screen-shot for that?

I know that anyone could say that this question already exists but my problem still exists. So what do you suggest?

I have a folder in my laptop and i want it to be accessible from my desktop and my other devices.BUT only sub folders are syncing and no content of them.

Thanks, any help would be great!

I would like to watch television with my TV-Tuner. All I want is someone give me some steps to follow so I can find a driver. I am searching for several months but nothing. Also which application should I use for TV in Linux?

I tried already to find something for my question in [askubuntu.com] , but nothing was answering my needs. So, what i want is build vim as a very powerful and useful editor for html,css, javascript, etc but for programming too. I am trying to learn css and generally I wanted a very nice editor with many plugins. So, can anybody help me, step by step, for customizing vim and about what features to look around that might help me in my learning period?thanks

Oh, and the only way that vim is running is from terminal?thanks

***edit--->I cannot find my.vimrc file

I want to create a partition in virtual machine Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit so that I can test a few things. I use a guide for something I want to do and it says that I should create a partition in my system but I do not want to have a partition in my main system so I think that I can install Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit on virtual machine, then create a partition in virtual disk, is it possible?

I was wondering about generic installations of all applications in linux. And what that means? Well, when I was using windows I knew that if I want to install an application I am double-clicking the .exe file and then next,next,next.

In linux, I have understood that maybe there is a common (not generic) way to install any application. Installing from source maybe? Well is there any step by step method that can be used to install application like in windows or not?

I am asking because I do not want to keep asking the google, how to? So, I have managed to install recently from source freecad from this guide and I think that it would be a very nice start as common method, right?

But the thing then is where to find the right source and when an application has a very unique method of installation!

I am trying 3 years now installing Autocad,*3ds Max* and Revit architecture on Ubuntu with wine!

Every year I am very optimistic 'cause I see the new wine versions already improved.

So, now I am starting again in a clean Ubuntu installation to install Autocad 2013 with wine 1.4. I am not trying to have an answer only for me, but I want this community to try and finally we can achieve that!

The winetricks have already net framework 4 to install which is the reason I have not already ran to the past Autocad.

So, I would like to remove completely my windows 7 partition from my pc and go on a linux machine without loosing the powerfull architectural programms.I know all about Blender and staff so I just want you to help find a solution on that, because I know there is a solution!

Maybe I will have to learn all the c++ or python etc. But I am sure that a solution can come with the help of all of us!

Any suggestion about this problem will be very nice and helpfull.

Hello. I was trying to make a bootable flash drive from the startup disk creator, and when I went to erase the flash drive I accidentally erased the wrong drive, a 1TB removable drive. The operation took less than a second and gave no warning. I tried erasing the flash drive and it took about a minute, but it took but a second to erase the 1 TB drive, which is very surprising.

Please help, Gabriel

I would like to ask a very basic question but I have never thought about it before. Well, when someone installs an application from terminal, he has to add the repository first, right? On the other side, when someone installs an application from the Ubuntu Software Center, is the repository then added automatically?

I am asking those questions to figure out this: When I run update and then upgrade, will this application be upgraded or not? Is the result same in two options?

I'm not new in Ubuntu, but I'm trying to install Ubuntu on another computer (my sister's PC), but when I configure BIOS to load from optical drive, it never loads.

Actually, Windows loads!
