WINDOWS ON LINUX.........INSTALLING VMWARE PLAYER @ UBUNTU

Do u love your ubuntu and can't live without it but still need to use Windows Programs?


Linux has become very user friendly but still majority applications runs on Windows.So you can run windows in your ubuntu with the help of vmware palyer.


Dual booting is also an option but rebooting system again and again for switching between OS is not a good option. Here this concept of vertualization takes credit.


VMware Player allows you to run entire operating systems in a virtual machine, which runs on top of Ubuntu or Windows. To the guest operating system (the one running inside the virtual machine), it appears as though it were running on its own PC. The host operating system runs the VMware Player, which provides the guest with things like network access. 


Let us start with installing vmware palyer-------


Download vmware palyer from its official site
www.vmware.com › VMware Player
you need to register first

Choose 32bit or 64bit installer according to your OS Architecture


After downloading open terminal and run the following command to install some packages needed by vmware player

 sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`


Now make it executable by changing its permissions by going to properties of setup then select permission tab and finally check "Allow executing file as a program".

We can start Vmware installation as follows:


 gksudo bash ./VMware-Player-3.1.4-385536.x86_64.bundle

This will start GUI installation wizard of Vmware Player

 
Follow the on screen instructions and you are done with installation.

Here you can create virtual machine of any OS you want.

ANTIVIRUS IN LINUX......INSTALLING ESET NOD 32 IN UBUNTU

This tutorial is a step by step instruction procedure  for installing ESET antivirus in ubuntu 11.04 . This can be used for any version of ubuntu but i am going to show installation on ubuntu 11.04.

Download Antivirus for linux desktop from
  * http://www.mediafire.com/?g2ofh8wj5dllrte
  * Or from official website of ESET

When downloaded dont try to run it directly, it will give an error

  In order to avoid this error,  make it executable by right click on setup downloaded and click on permission tab and check "allow executing file as program".

Now, double click to run the installation file. At this step, I got “Please install following files or packages: usr/lib/gconv/UTF-16.so”, and it can be fixed by:

open a terminal window and create directory:

->     sudo mkdir /usr/lib/gconv

then make a link for UTF-16.so:

->     sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/gconv/UTF-16.so /usr/lib/gconv/UTF-16.so

once done with this double click to start the setup..

Follow the instructions and you are done with installation

WHAT AFTER DOWNLOADING TAR.GZ FILE

Ok, so for those who don't know what to do when you download a program for linux and the file extension is tar.gz, you've come to the right place.

So when you download it, it should be in your downloads directory(default is downloads in home folder). So open up a terminal.

Change your directory to where the file is located. (Downloads)

Code:
cd Downloads

Then, tar the file so it becomes a folder...

Code:
tar -zxf FILENAME.tar.gz

After that, change the directory to the new folder...

Code:
cd FOLDER

There should be an INSTALL file inside of the folder but most files install like so... MAKE SURE COMMANDS GO IN ORDER!!!

Code:
./configure

Code:
make

Code:
make install

Finally, there should be a program in the name of the program in that folder that is executable and you can run it by simply typing it in.
If it says something like, permission denied, or somthing like that, do the following.

Log in as root. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Code:
sudo -s

Then, go to the folder with the program in it.

Code:
cd /Downloads/FOLDERNAME

Then, make the file executable by anyone...

Code:
chmod 755 FILENAME

Then log out of root by typing,

Code:
exit

Finally, you can execute in the command line.

Tar File — Read and write tar archive files

Hello friends,
   In this post i am going to explain about tar files and how to create tar files.
  
A tar file is the concatenation of one or more files. Each file is preceded by a 512-byte header record. The file data is written unaltered except that its length is rounded up to a multiple of 512 bytes and the extra space is zero filled. The end of an archive is marked by at least two consecutive zero-filled records

Uncompressed tar archive files have names ending in ".tar". Unlike ZIP archives, tar files (somefile.tar) are commonly compressed as a whole rather than piecemeal.Applying a compression utility such as gzip, bzip2, xz, lzip, lzma, or compress to a tar file produces a compressed tar file, typically named with an extension indicating the type of compression (e.g., somefile.tar.gz).

  USAGE ----------

    tar -czf whatever.tar foldername
   
     another method would be…
  
     tar -czf whatever.tar.gz foldername

If you’d like to tar your file and have it put in another location use this:

    tar -czf /directory/directory/whatever.tar foldername

Here are a list of tar options, and their significance.

-c = create
-f = read to/from the named file (instead of the device /tape)
-t = list contents of .tar file
-r = append to a .tar file
-v = verbose (tells you everything its doing)
-x = extract contents of .tar file
-z = compress files

To extract the files form file

tar -xf whatever.tar
