461862 2006-06-09 12:49:00 Today, I've being very patient to learn Linux today but problems are starting to pop up as I starting to use it. I'll get BitDefender for standby before that thing happens again. And I'm very bored with Linux and hope Racer(Free Car Simulation) will support my Linux. I wonder how many more problems will pop up like I first use Microsoft Windows. I've established with Windows and easily get files without needing any much help.
Maybe I should give it a little more time.

If you think you can use any Linux in a day then you are wrong.

Keep using it and keep learning.

This edited since I note that you have destroyed the Linux disk and any further help would be pointless.

That is not very appropriate language for a moderator to use, Chill. You never see Jen or Bruce talking like that. :(

461865 2006-06-10 02:45:00 No need to band me. I've enoguh in this forum, I'll be leaving for a while. If people have problems with their PC, others can help and I'll be absent for a while. I got crackers friends who can help me but they do not live in N.Z. About Linux, it is just like Windows but come in not complete set and you need to find files to run it. Linux is just like an older version of Windows, and can be attacked easily if people want to do it for sure. :annoyed:NZ fourm? Huh, this is the only NZ forum I joined and others are all American and Europe even with the people who don't know English well. So far don't have conflicts with others except here. What's the point coming here? Create problems? In other forum Linux users are a lot more friendly than here. I must have enter the conv. zone. Bye all for now. MTLance (6768)
461866 2006-06-10 02:47:00 That is not very appropriate language for a moderator to use, Chill. You never see Jen or Bruce talking like that. :( Uh, huh. Never seen other moderators write a language like that. When I have lots of problems with my windows, Mircosoft supports people didn't get angry when you ask so much questions when I was a kid. Weird forum moderators. Must leave now bye. MTLance (6768)

Sweep has a good point though...!

461869 2006-06-10 06:02:00 MTLance, people are probably frustrated with your "this isn't working like Windows" attitude towards Linux. You post as though Linux should act and run like Windows, please remember Linux is not designed to be a replacement for windows it is an alternative with its own software and functions.

Personally, I enjoy my Linux desktop more than Windows....but I still run Windows at work because I need some apps that I cannot run on Linux. I suggest you possibly stick to Windows and run Linux as a 2nd OS that you can play around with when so inclined.

461870 2006-06-10 22:09:00 While i agree that windows is not Linux (thankfully), and therefore should not be expected to behave like it, i must also say that i think the issues of not handling .zips or .mp3s as expected are legitamit, but easily addresses, and in a way that is not to unlike windows

If MP3s open in totem, get a better media player. IMHO opinion, totem may be fine for watching vids, but quite frenkly blows for mp3s/.oggs etc, particualy when a playlist is involved. XMMS or better still amarok (which is a guzzler, but worth it if you have spare urgs) one can open the files from the media player. I think this compares with how windows users get annoyed with WMP and eventually install winamp, (which XMMS was modelled on), and amarok just leaves for dead.

As for opening zips, well it can be done, but as zips are uncommon in the *nix world, it may have been overlooked in ubuntu. Try opening the file with ark

Yes it is possible to set file associations to open from the file browser in the file of your choice, i don't use ubuntu, so forgive me if i am wrong, but i would expect you will find file associations in the settings in Konqueror. If Konqueror is what you browse file systems with, right click select "open with" and tick the "remember association" or what ever it is. Of course first one must figure what way we wish to open any given type of file by default.

The flaw in my advice is that i'm talking KDE, and ubuntu is more gnome flavored, but hopefully what i say still applies.
