QQ on Ubuntu

I try to use Pidgin on ubuntu for everthing But it seem that only MSN is working Ironically, microsoft and other make MSN a very good IM environment. I got no problem login to MSN anywhere and everywhere. Yahoo messenger also seem fails in this Pidgin In babie Linux, the (Integate IM) also can not get yahoo messenger login But babie Linux got the integrated QQ for Linux From there, I learn to download QQ for Linux and it works well in Ubuntu Forget about wrong password false massages in Pidgin, QQ still want to maintain as a propiarety protocall. 如果你要在Linux用QQ 最好是到 http://g.cn 搜索 QQ for Linux 或到http://im.qq.com/qq/linux/ 下载

variant and history of Linux

I study the whole day and night review the history of Linux I have tried puppy and ubuntu Linux I have try the Live CD on fedora after break through the login screen. I have to call Timonthy who gave the CD and he advise is to ask Redhat on Monday. However, I was lucky that this time, the login screen went through quietly after a long wait. With Ubuntu, I think I dun see any difference. So I put is aside. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_linux "However, because Puppy is small-sized and can boot from many media, it is also useful as a rescue disk, a demonstration system, or for reviving old computers." Yes, puppy and babie Linux still have that advantage. Then I try to follow Google is up to Interally they are using Goobuntu The other indication is gOS So Ubuntu has evolved from Debian Linux and form a trend by itself. So I think I will focus on ubuntu for a while

It take me some time to find out that under Ubuntu you have to use $ sudo -i to change into super user root It is different from puppy It take a while to get used to it I do not how to do that in the file manager mode I surprise I still remember sudo command after my last experience with ... IBM AIX ??? and that is almost 15 years ago Ha Ha Please check out https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/root-and-sudo.html

still got problem with ATI

I still have problem with ATI X.org driver even though I think I have a ATI video card After add the package I reboot it and the video got corrupted and the system seem to be hanged I did it two times and still the same I have to re-install two times the Xfix during the boot menu does not seem to work even though later I realised I can boot up from CDROM and surf the Internet for solution I found one and did not have chance to try it dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

second variety of linux

From the interest on Google OS I thought it will be based on Ubuntu but i end up trying puppy and babie Linux When I end up accidentally in their websites http://www.ubuntu.com.cn/ I like it better than Redhat I like it as how the concept behind not only just the OS I like it as the community set IT up structurely So I download the iso image and there is so many choices and I start with desktop Since I am in Singapore using Singtel broadband Surprisingly Singapore website is very slow So I have to use Australia Optus (Singtel subsidy) I got it download within 2hr After boot up I Choose Chinese as my main interface It seem that it need more than file space in the hdd So I wipe off my windows partition I create a ext4 Primary partition and mount / (root) (later I choose ext3 filesystem as to be compatible and read by puppy) I did not set up swap partition but will do so in next OS setup (a lot of this need lot of planning but i do it trial and learn)

Java setup

My nephew play RunEscape So it required Java RunTime I really need to recall my past UNIX experience and knowledge as I have not touch UNIX for almost 8 years I use the self-extracted version http://www.java.com/zh_TW/download/help/5000010500.xml#selfextracting The instruction is quite ok The most important I changed as the follow ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./libjavaplugin_oji.so root@kohfamily-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.8/plugins# ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-08-15 01:38 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2009-04-20 22:03 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58 2009-08-15 01:38 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_15/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so You must know which plugins directory, If not you have to do for all mozilla, firefox etc Once you got it works, that is most important
