UBUNTU!

The general concept of Ubuntu has been widely used in different spectrums of our societal believe systems and practices, it has been pronounced, displayed and utilized as an identify camouflage before the eyes of the fanciful and yet naïve audience. It maybe pronounced in vernacular, and perhaps in many ways the terminology may suggests ethnicity or some kind of African ideology, and nothing could be further than the truth. Humanity or Humanness, the spirit of sharing and giving whole heartedly, spontaneous acts of kindness and making it your mission to put a smile on other people’s faces, appreciating others for who they, being considerate and affectionate, understanding that though we may not be equal in our diversity as individuals but our purpose as one people, is equally important and has a place and a pivotal role in society, these points entails what Ubuntu is all about in a nutshell. Now ask yourself this...have you ever done something that suggests the spirit of Ubuntu in your immediate environs?, have you made it your mission to put a smile on somebody else’s face without any apparent reason whatsoever?, have you experienced discomfort just so that another person can be comfortable in your space?, have you went out of your way to help a complete stranger and expect nothing in return?, have you ever exceeded your limits and probably your resources to accommodate orphans and be a beacon of hope to the needy? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then there is a glimmer of hope in the horizon not because you said yes, but because you now have something to think about and will probably convert these thoughts into a tangible action for the benefit of others. Let this be a preview of what 2016 will look like, a year of selflessness and acts of kindness, is not as difficult as it may seem, just look within and try to externalize that which genuinely feel about others, and let the true spirit of Ubuntu be a reigning force in your life!

An Anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe.

He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that "who ever got there first won the sweet fruits"

When he told the to run they are took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats.

When he ask them "why they had ran like that ? As one could have had all the fruits for him self ?"

They said : "how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad ?" "UBUNTU" (in the Xhosa Culture it's means "I am because We are")

Why Ubuntu is the Devil and Why So Many No Longer Use It

Ubuntu - Installare driver NVIDIA

Per installare e restare sempre aggiornati con l'ultimo driver NVIDIA basta seguire questa semplice procedura:

Aprire il terminale e digitare

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

per aggiungere i repository PPA. Successivamente aggiorniamo la lista dei pacchetti con

sudo apt-get update

e installiamo l'ultimo driver con

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Ubuntu/Kubuntu 12.04 - Schermo nero

Nella nuova versione di Ubuntu 12.04, Precise Pangolin, può capitare che fin dall'avvio del cd live, all'opzione Avvio Ubuntu, questo rimanga con lo schermo nero e non prosegua con l'installazione. Bisogna riavviare e selezionare col tasto F6 una delle opzioni di avvio (acpi=off, noapic, ecc) finché non si avvia normalmente e si può proseguire con l'installazione. Alla fine di questa, però dopo il riavvio, si può ripresentare di nuovo il problema dello schermo nero, che si può risolvere come segue.

Nel grub invece di selezionare l'avvio normale, bisogna selezionare la modalità di ripristino, che che ci farà scegliere tra varie opzioni. Noi sceglieremo la shell di root, poi scriviamo

nano /etc/default/grub

e andiamo a modificare la linea

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

aggiungendo acpi=off, o qualunque opzione ci abbia fatto partire l'installazione prima. La riga diventerà quindi, per esempio:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off"

Salviamo, con Ctrl-O e poi Enter, e usciamo, con Ctrl-X.

Al ritorno alla shell aggiornamo il grub con

update-grub2

e riavviamo con

reboot

A questo punto potremmo avviare Ubuntu normalmente.

È uscito Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin
