Ubuntu8.10 速配指南(转自cu)

从这里开始
请确保你的系统已联入互联网。如有困难请参考HOW-TO连接到互联网或到论坛寻求帮助。
打开终端。单击主菜单中的“应用程序 - 附件 - 终端”。
修改更新服务器列表。请在终端中执行下面的两条命令:
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
注意:接下来在打开的文本编辑器中,把你看到的内容全部删掉,访问 我们推荐的源页面。在那里里请选择一组对于你来说速度最快
的更新服务器列表。粘贴到你所看到的窗口中。
对电信/网通用户,推荐将欧洲官方源服务器粘贴到最后
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse
推荐所有用户加入 ubuntu-cn 源(从以下两个中选择一个即可)*此处暂时用hardy*
deb http://archive.ubuntu.org.cn/ubuntu-cn/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu-cn/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse
4.更新软件包列表。执行下面的命令:
sudo apt-get update
5.安装系统更新
打开“系统->系统管理->更新管理器”,安装更新。完成后若系统提示重新启动,请重新启动系统。

语言支持对话框[编辑] 设置中文环境
重要:继续之前请确定本文前面的操作你都完成了
单击主菜单中的“系统(System) --> 系统管理(Administration) --> 语言支持(language support)”。
在“支持的语言”列表中找到“汉语(Chinese)”,在右端打上勾。同时将默认语言修改为“汉语(Chinese)”并勾选“启用复杂
字符输入支持(Enable support to enter complex characters)”,点击确定按钮。
Ubuntu 这时会下载并安装语言包。安装完毕之后,当你注销后重新登录,界面就变成中文的了。
如果你喜欢用 Adobe Reader 来阅读 pdf 文档,可在官网下载或者本地下载
设置文档查看器 Evince 的中文支持:
sudo apt-get install xpdf-chinese-simplified xpdf-chinese-traditional poppler-data
[编辑] 安装硬件驱动

硬件支持菜单 如左图打开 “系统->系统管理->硬件驱动”。Ubuntu 自动开始查找可用驱动程序,选中你需要启用的硬件驱动程序(
如显卡驱动),Ubuntu将自动为你安装。完装完成后,请按系统提示重启操作系统。
[编辑] 设置 Firefox
安装Flash插件
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
另一种方法
wget http://ubuntu:ubuntuftp@ftp.ubuntu.org.cn/home/dbzhang800/wiki/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb
关于firefox的插件及其他设置,请参考Firefox常用扩展插件
[编辑] 设置QQ
在 腾讯官方 http://im.qq.com/qq/linux/download.shtml 下载 deb 安装包后,双击即可安装
[编辑] 多媒体应用环境设置
推荐能连接国外网的用户加入Medibuntu源,输入命令
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
其他用户要确保已加入ubuntu-cn源
安装多媒体解码器,输入命令
Xine多媒体引擎解码器
sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-all-plugins libxine1-plugins w32codecs gcc-3.3-base libstdc++5
Gstreamer多媒体引擎解码器
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-
multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-esd
DVD影碟功能支持
sudo apt-get install libdvdnav4 libdvdread3 libdvdcss2
配置电影播放器
sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla -y
sudo apt-get install smplayer smplayer-themes mozilla-mplayer
更多关于电影播放器 (Totem-xine) 的设置问题请参考Xine前端播放器设置问题
配置音乐播放器,输入命令
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux gstreamer0.10-gnonlin libflashsupport
你可能还喜欢音乐播放器 Audacious、xmms、bmp,视频播放器 MPlayer 和 RealPlayer
[编辑] 设置工具软件
安装词典软件
星际译王 (stardict) 是 Linux 下类似于金山词霸的辞典软件。

如需给 stardict 添加更多的词库或真人发音,请访问星际译王
准备基本编译工具,输入命令
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake1.9 cvs subversion
编译所需软件时使用的开发库请参考该软件的相关文档。可选设置中提供了几个最基础的开发库。
安装压缩工具

安装rar、7z、cab格式支持,输入命令
sudo apt-get install unrar p7zip-full cabextract
大功告成,现在我们的系统已经能很好的工作了。请注销重新进入桌面!
很好,对Ubuntu系统的基本设置,你已经完成。不过这些设置对于你来说远远不够,请参看热门设置条目继续对您的系统进行微调,
当然热门设置里的内容不是所有人必须要做的。请针对自己的情况有选择的操作。

恢复硬盘资料-实战

昨天一同事,系统(win)突然死掉,原因不明。

去看了看,安全模式也不能进入。提示文件丢失。还原吧
结果还原了半天,没完成还原,又死。
再次启动,硬盘动一直亮,winpe也无法进入。
把硬盘线拔掉,winpe正常进入。故硬盘问题。

用Ubuntu Live CD进入,成功。叹,还是linux比较不错。
fdisk /dev/sdb
比较乱
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf78ff78f

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 2611 20972826 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdb2 2612 19456 135307462+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sdb5 2612 7833 41945683+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb6 14208 14232 200781 83 Linux
..............(此处省略N行)
dev/sdb57 7859 13107 42162561 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb58 7834 7858 200781 83 Linux
/dev/sdb59 7859 13107 42162561 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb60 7834 7858 200781 83 Linux

x 进入expert模式
按f fix partition order
w 保存 reboot

此时可以通过winpe进入看到2个分区,她原本有3个分区。而重要的资料在第三个分区
finaldata 很帅,恢复。。。。。
成功!

opensuse安家Dell 1310

最近没什么事,蜘蛛基本上被干掉了,然后听了,看了win的一些事,咋说呢?
不让我们用,我们就不用贝。

Ubuntu升级内核把我的BSD干掉了。很晕
正好好久没用,算了直接删了吧,桌面方面感觉比较一般吧。
换换口味,搞了一套opensuse(11.0),最新版的,
主要是内核和驱动问题,新版的可能解觉得好一点。

昨天晚上回去搞的,装上基本上不用汉化。不错的说
可是网卡驱动有问题,我的Dell 1310 网卡是8111/8168B,可是opensuse
用R8169来驱动,不行,就换贝。网上down了8168B的驱动
make 但是 不能 install 晕,直接 cp 过去
depmod -a
rmmod r8169
modprobe r8168
网卡解决

显卡也要装呀,要不然可能一些桌面效果不能实现。
还是用nv官方的驱动
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.80-pkg1.run
sudo gdm-stop
一步步安装ok了

声卡不发声,还是以前的办法,修改一下sound
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
#options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
# u1Nb.01UYOr8aW80:82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=dell

无线bcm4310
b43都不行,只能用ndiswrapper
找到windows的dell驱动,r174291/DRIVER_US
ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
然后设置网络。OK

Ubuntu下飞鸽的安装

有点麻烦,不和f8下直接rpm一下就行了。只能自己编译

以Ubuntu8.0.4为例

1.编译环境

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake build-essential

2.安装一些开发库

sudo apt-get install libpanelappletmm-2.6-dev libgnomeui-dev libgtk2.0-dev

3.下载g2ipmsg

wget http://www.ipmsg.org/archive/g2ipmsg-0.9.5.tar.gz

4. 安装

./configure && make && sudo make install

然后应该在应用程序->附件里找到了。

5. 一般需要重启系统,我用sudo g2ipmsg没问题,然后重启了一下X就行了

有些笔记本键盘锁定问题

我装Ubuntu 8.0.4.1 不知道什么原因,开机有时会无法使用键盘。
重启就好了,但是在Win下就没问题。

最后找到一个方案,不知道可行不
在grub的kernel 后面追加上 i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1 参数
比如我的
title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.27-rc6liu
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-rc6liu root=UUID=745f0f17-3ce8-456d-9b6f-e8165d35778f ro quiet splash locale=zh_CN i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-rc6liu

PS:今天把抓取的问题解决了,可以消停一段时间了。呵呵

Introduction to Chromium

Over the past few years, progress in consumer graphics card capabilities and desktop CPU performance, coupled with advances in high-performance networks, have enabled a new generation of supercomputer: the commodity graphics cluster. These new clusters, built from collections of off-the-shelf Pcs outfitted with consumer graphics cards, offer unprecedented power for the rendering and display of 3D graphics. However, the application programming interface to these systems was not designed for parallel clusters. Chromium provides a common parallel graphics programming interface to support such clusters. In addition, it allows most existing serial applications to run without modification, and enables creation of powerful new parallel graphics applications capable of fully exploiting the power of these clusters.
