I done the following(and many others also):

1. Just download this executable…..bsnlclarity and save it to your home folder.

2. Connect your phone to the system with the usb cable.

3. Now at terminal type

$ sudo ./bsnlclarity

You will be asked for your username and password for accessing the internet enter it …..
now start surffing

Ctrl+C to stop

Here is the step by step method

1) Step 1 Load the driver

$ sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0×15eb product=0×0001

2) load ppp driver

$ sudo /sbin/modprobe ppp_generic

3) Check dmesg output

$ sudo dmesg

I got
[ 227.271459] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
[ 227.271485] usbserial_generic 2-1:1.0: generic converter detected

My notebook has 512mb of memory and I want to upgrade to 2GB. What brand and type is the best?

TuxOnIce is most easily described as the Linux equivalent of Windows’ hibernate functionality,but better. It saves the contents of memory to disk and powers down. When the computer is started up again, it reloads the contents and the user can continue from where they left off. No documents need to be reloaded or applications reopened and the process is much faster than a normal shutdown and start up.

I'd try to install RealPlayer using .deb files since I cant play any .mp3 and .avi files but i got "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: lsb (>= 3.1)" during the installation. Can anyone help me with this. Thank you

Approx is an HTTP-based Debian archive server. It fetches packages from remote repositories on demand, and caches them for local use.Approx saves time and network bandwidth if you need to install or upgrade Debian software for a number of machines on a local network.

I used to have some trouble while setting up my Atheros PCI card on Ubuntu Linux 9.04. It worked natively on Ubuntu 8.04, where it was detected as ath0. I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 whereby I noticed my wireless PCI card didn’t work natively anymore. Someone suggested me to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 Jaunty, and I did that immediately. After the system upgrade I noticed again that my wireless device was gone in Ubuntu 9.04. When I ran iwconfig I didn’t see wlan0 or ath0 anymore.

I recently installed ubuntu on my machine which already had vista. After installing, I had to install several other softwares on ubuntu to get my work done. And the softwares were of different formats like deb, bin ...
for which I had to google every time. On this blog, I have tried to accumulate those different methods.

.deb
=============
sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb [ to install]

.sh
============
run ./file_name.sh

.bin
=================
chmod a+x file_name.bin
sudo ./file_name.bin

.tar.gz
=======================

first uncompress and then after getting in the folder , run these commands
./configure
make
make install

make unistall [if u wanna uninstall]

Hope this should help them who are puzzled in installing different packages.
