[Sushubh]

that ntfs utility does that for you.

with wubi... the C: drive was already set up as HOST on root. rest were put in media.

----------

btw. i am back to vista for the time being. major headache.

@all : Ubuntu Jaunty jackelope will be available 2 days before itself.the thing is ,they are hideously "spreading" the iso to all mirrors.
So ?Search and find .I will download the release iso day after tomorrow(hopefully!).

 

[Sushubh]

well the iso file i downloaded did not have any RC in it. it was just jaunty-desktop-amd64.iso

----------

i thought this version was supposed to come with empathy instead of pidgin

i had to manually install empathy. it lacks tons of features that are available in pidgin.

firefox has always ended up looking like that for me in kde

i just install kde-desktop over ubuntu. that could be the problem i guess?

install a few packages with "qtcurve" in the name, its a good clean KDE theme... and firefox and other gnome apps look good with it too...

 

[Sushubh]

even on wubi, ubuntu boots on my system in around 30 seconds. to functional desktop!

----------

now trying to get chromium on this thingy.

----------



hah. not usable at all

Can i access Windows files from Linux os.:huh: Windows use NTFS which is not used by Linux. I not yet tried.

[manu1991]

^^ Yes , NTFS works with ubuntu

 

[Sushubh]

you can read and write on ntfs from linux. writing is not recommended but it works fine.

 

[vishalrao]

the "not recommended" part is no longer true latest versions of ntfs-3g are considered stable for writing too... i've been saving files (torrent downloads) to NTFS via jaunty for weeks now, all fine...

Ok.So ,Should I apt-get upgrade to jaunty (whatever) ?
