Hey guys, I'm just here to ask: Can I install Ubuntu using Wubi and use Wine on my C drive? Cuz it says in the Wiki FAQ to NOT "configure Wine to point to your actual Windows C:\ drive" http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-497f1a295d53dd3444f211df2b13312c7767afa2 But I only have one hard drive and that's the C drive!

Hey guys, I'm a new Ubuntu convert (installed through Wubi, and am blown away!) I'd love to get wine working so I play games etc, but I've got a lot of learning to do when it comes to installing and getting things working. So, I want to use the 1.0-rc1 version of wine, but CoD4 requires the 3dmark.diff patch. This is what I think I need to be doing: with the 3dmark.diff file

Hi, Over the last few days a couple of people have asked about WUBI liks process for CentOS. I've had to look up what WUBI is ( to save you time : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu) ) . Now the question: is there anyway to get something similar for CentOS ? or is there a process that someone might follow to achieve the same or similar result ? - KB

Dear all; I'm planning to install Linux on my computer to run R (I'm bored of W..XP). However, I haven't used Linux before and I would appreciate, if possible, suggestions/comments about what could be the best option install, say Fedora, Ubuntu or OpenSuse which to my impression are the most popular ones (at least on the R-help lists). The computer is a PC desktop with 4GB RAM and

Hello All, I recently converted my wife over to Ubuntu 8.04 and wanted to do the same to my children's PC. I have checked AppDB and was unable to find a listing for this game already. I am testing their games in a virtual machine (VirtualBox) with Ubuntu 8.04 and wine-1.0-rc2. When I double-click on the icon for the game, it thinks for a minute like it was trying to launch but then

 Hi, I am using Ubuntu wubi and the version of the llvm is 2.8. I followd the instruction in the llvm site ("http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html") and tried to run the hello program.

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 through Wubi on a HP Pavilion dv4000 (my home computer) and I recently installed R 2.7.1. I attempted to install the randomForest package from within the R environment and from the Linux terminal. Both attempts failed. I've tried several mirrors but with no luck.

Hello. I am a Linux neophyte and know almost nothing ?about compiling, so I would appreciate any help and advice y'all would care to offer. I am trying to compile the 64 bit version of R using a tuned ATLAS and LAPACK (ATLAS 3.9.24). I am running Ubunto 10.04 LTS (through wubi, FWIW).

Hello. I am a new user of wine. I boot from a linux drive and have a second HD, which can run windows xp, as the secondary master. I eventually got my windows program to run with wine, but the drive/partition that it is on is considered to be drive F: by wine. The program tries to read files from drive C:\xxx and can't find them because that drive is now considered to be "F:".

I have a couple of triple boot systems. On each, Windows is NOT Drive C or Drive C is a useless application like Vista. This system is one where Vista is Drive C. The Vista stuff on drive C conflicts with the XP installation on Drive E. All the applications I would like Wine to run for me are XP applications on Drive E. There are no Vista applications worth using Wine to run. Before I

Hello, I have a CentOS VM with only one disk on a Xenserver. The disk has 2 partitions: /dev/xvda1 -> /boot /dev/xvda2 -> a physical volume for LVM I added 5GB to this disk via Xencenter to extend /dev/xvda2. Usually I just have to do "pvresize /dev/xvda" to have the additional space added to the disk. But for some reason it does not work for this disk. [root ~]# pvresize

Hi I am brand new to Linux and Wine and so far have found getting everything working has been very easy. My only problem has been with my favourite 3D program - Cybermotion v13. I see from the apps database that version 12 worked okay but I am having problems getting the latest version to run. When run the splash screen appears but problems occur when the main display loads.

Hi all, My only encounter with tape-backup was with Windows 2000. With it, when we backup things using windows' backup tool, it will create a 'catalog', then the catalog contains all the backup operations we do based on date. So, with this we can "append" many backups into one tape. Next time we want to restore a backup, we can choose what date available in that
