leave a comment composing my post to avira linux forum november 13 2009 dear avira forum members i did search the avira forum on ubuntu and found two links the command from the second link http forum avira com wbb index php page thread threadid 92283 seems very useful and understandable to me if i already had avira installed on my wubi windows install of ubuntu sudo usr lib antivir avupdate product guard but your first link http forum avira com wbb index php page thread threadid 90095 is too vague for a beginner to know how to install avira on ubuntu your above first link refers to http dazuko dnsalias org wiki index php downloads which mentions that the target is linux 2 6 31 and mentions some tar downloads but gives no indication about ubuntu 9 1 which is the what wubi windows installer installs nor does it give step by step instructions for how one might install it via the synaptic manager or via sudo commands therefore i shall post here in the hopes that someone might point out the kind of instructions that i need my post i would like to see a step by step beginners guide on how to install and run avira in ubuntu i did about 10 wubi installs and subsequent uninstalls of ubuntu for windows on an old compaq presario with an 80 gig drive running windows xp home edition my only successful experiences so far with installing additional packages are by means of ubuntus synaptic manager installing apache php and mysql lamp if you check my blog post you will see in great detail not only the step by step method which finally resulted in success but also the many times that i encountered problems and had to reinstall ubuntu and start over it is my understanding from searching forums that ubuntu is far less subject to malware and the main motive for an ubuntu installing any antivirus is to clean up things which might be emailed to a windows user and infect them i would appreciate hearing avira forum member s views on this sort of statement i feel that if avira could make itself available on the synaptic manager then avira popularity would greatly increase for many reasons but if there are some obstacles to placing avira on the synaptic manager then a step by step tutorial on how to download install and launch avira under ubuntu would become very popular for beginners who what to get their hands dirty on a successful install i will certainly post regarding such a tutorial at my blog and various forums and i do see some activity and interest as people search on tags i am truly impressed to see what ubuntu is like i only felt comfortable trying it when my step son gave me his old comaq presario which makes my third windows machine so i feel i can afford to be daring and take chances installing and using things that might destroy the windows installation the other piece of the puzzle that made this ubuntu experiment possible for me was realizing that i can connect additional computers to my verizon dsl by means of an inexpensive belkin wi fi usb port adapter 30 usd if you visit my blog on the wubi installation you can see how i finally got ubuntu to connect to the internet the biggest obstacle for the beginner to try ubuntu the lack of a solid step by step tutorial on how to install it connect to the internet and then install other useful packages one post regarding wi fi adapters and drivers on unix machines and the issue of wrappers vs native linux drivers made one observation that really caught my attention saying two years ago ubuntu was more like a toy and it would have been difficult or impossible to connect ubuntu via wi fi but two years from now ubuntu will have matured into a serious option for businesses i remember in the 1990s asking a linux programmer out of curiousity if there were any businesses that ran on linux he surprised me by saing that sy simms clothiers an educated consumer is our best customer was on linux i started out with a radio shack model i moved to a model iii then switched to ms dos machines on an inexpensive network product not novell finally i moved to windows in the 1980s the glimpses that i had of unix and linux gave me the impression that they were very difficult to use i finally found a few years of stability using xp and was horrified by the vista problems in the rumor mill i dont even hear anything very positive about windows 7 but rather see commercial after snide commercial from apple mac mocking microsoft as an incompetent buffoon i wonder how avira forum members feel about the future of something like ubuntu becoming dominant in the business world years ago i perceived mysql as a kind of educational toy and curiosity but now i receive re but now that i have a glimpse of what ubuntu is like for the first time i have the urge to switch totally to open source and escape the uncertainties of proprietary software and license agreements http forum avira com wbb index php page thread threadid 90095 http forum avira com wbb index php page thread threadid 92283 p s i just went to a huge computer store near my home j and r computer world in manhattan and i looked at every wifi and ethernet card to see if any mention ubuntu or linux and only one mentions linux which is http www startech com and the card is only 10 usd but it utterly amazes me that manufacturers so ignore such a market as ubuntu i have found this forum very cordial and helpful to me as a beginner and you have empowered me to attempt things that i was hesitant to attempt because i do not have a lot of spare money or spare computers but i do want to observe how obtuse most technical types are especially in the linux world when you go somewhere like source forge for example to download something there is very little plain english or plain german or french instructions to help guide the beginner and yet it is the beginner audience and adolescents who will one day become adult users and consumers of products and operating systems tags anti virus antivir antivirus avira install linux open source tutorial ubuntu wubi posted in antivirus education software technology tutorial ubuntu wubi leave a comment my reply at ubuntu forums november 12 2009 http ubuntuforums org index php quote cariboo907 8302876 the idea behind a server is to have a stable reliable platform for what you need to do you re starting out with 2 strikes against you already a wubi install is not what i d called stable and reliable and using a wireless connection it is stable and reliable but it is slow you don t have the bandwidth of a wired connection i would just install the server version on the spare computer and be done with the experimenting you can just get down to work and develop your app quote cariboo you make excellent points but there are a few very important points that have escaped your attention i am an elderly man who is unemployed and my funds are limited certainly the best way to tackle any problem is to throw gobs of money at it and anyone who has money is a fool to waste their time tinkering with inexpensive do it yourself projects whatever the shortcomings of wubi and ubuntu running on top of windows there is definitely a place in this world for something like wubi there are young people who perhaps only have one windows machine which they may need for other purposes they cannot afford to do something drastic to their machine like repartition it but wubi will allow someone even with an old machine and limited funds to at least install and try out ubuntu to see what it is like i can testify to the fact that one may install and delete wubi ubuntu many times i have done so at least six times in the past 2 days the only down side is that after you delete ubuntu there remains a 17 gig area on your hard drive which defrag cannot move the wubi install claims that when you reinstall the system reutilizes that area i imagine there is some kind of software that could free up the 17gigs but i have no urgent desire to do so just yet certainly no one is suggesting that a huge company like general motors should be run on a wubi install but i have learned an enormous amount in just the past few days on an old machine which was not being used and which i could afford to lose if the drive was irrecoverable here is a link to my blog post about my experiments with wubi today i looked at dell to see what they offer with ubuntu on it and i found a laptop with a moblin linux remix which comes to under 700 even when you add all the bells and whistles they do caution that it is more for developers because it is not completely stable and out of beta i am sure that there are some readers who would love to do a wubi install and play around just as i am doing if they stumble across my blog post then they will find some step by step instructions which took me several days of guessing and experimenting to find the more there are in the world who have inexpensive easy access to some kind of ubuntu especially the very young the more ubuntu will grow in popularity and mature into something that one could run a company on wubi has its place for adolescents hobbyists and probably one day for one of those ubuntu for dummies books someone is going to give me an old tower machine shortly and i will take an ubuntu install disk and make the entire machine an ubuntu server as you suggest my first concern is to figure out how to get a wi fi adaptor working on it i had no trouble at all getting my belkin usb adaptor to work with the wubi install at my blog post i do mention one brand of adaptor which is said to work seamlessly with ubuntu anyway thanks for taking the time to read my blog and offer your suggestions tags forum support ubuntu wubi posted in blogging tutorial ubuntu wubi leave a comment the ease and difficulties of wubi ubuntu november 11 2009 i will be adding to this post on a daily basis each time i uninstall and reinstall wubi ubuntu i begin posting each move step by step at the top of this post realizing that my ubuntu was hopelessly trashed by the fixes i had attempted i do notice that defrag sits for a long time saying 1 done and then it moves along quite quickly judging from my previous reinstall it should take 30 minutes for wubi running in windows to download the iso from bittorrent and then 30 minutes to reboot into ubuntu and finish the install under running under ubuntu and not under windows 1 click on the shutdown button 2 reboot in windows 3 go to control panel to add remove programs and remove ubuntu 4 reboot in safe f8 mode to do a cleandisk and a defrag i am curious if there will still be the same 17gig unmoveable area of root disk or will it have grown larger defragging should not take nearly so long as it did the first time while i wait for the defrag to finish i am going to reassemble here from my notes what i believe are my subsequent steps here is the link to the page which starts the wubi install http wubi installer org i realized i am going to be reinstalling frequently so i have a shortcut on my desktop to the initial download of the installer from wubi defragging just finished taking only about 10 minutes i see that boot disk is still 17 gigs and undefraggable unmoveable so at least it does not grow in size with each install so now i shall reboot into regular windows click on wubi installer on my desktop and an hour from now i shall have the pleasure of repeating the other steps namely get wi fi belkin adapter talking to internet test with firefox to see that i really have a connection use synaptic manager as i guess which packages i need for apache php mysql and phpmyadmin i notice with some irony that i am commencing the wubi install at 3 45 a m and it was exactly 3 45 p m the previous time i reinstalled and i was finished by 4 30p m so lets see if it really only takes 45 minutes again i admire the ruggedness of xp on this old compaq to take such a licking and keep on ticking on line armor fire wall avira antivirus and malwarebytes scanner seem pretty quite during all this i was doing a number of virus scans in between but i see they are clean so i wont bother i notice many people saying that linux ubuntu is rather immune to viruses and if on has an antivirus it is only to scan emails and attachments destined to be sent to windows machines with each new reinstall i make a little more progress and a few less mistakes my next trial when these installs are done is to solve the reason why i cannot log into phpmyadmin with a user name and password even though the install process prompts me for a password one post i found said that mysql default user is root and the password is blank we shall see my reinstall took less than 45 minutes i am now logging in and will connect to my belkin wifi adaptor 1st thing at the top of the screen on the ubuntu desktop is a band called the launch pad with some button icons the most impressive of which is firefox next to that is system administration network tools drop down network device and click wireless interface now at the top right of the screen on the launch pad click the left most icon which represents wireless and click on your routers wireless address mine happens to have a wep key 40 128 bit key but there are other choices key in the wep key click connect and immediately when it says connected click on firefox and go to any website just to make certain because if you think you are connected and you are not then the synaptic manager will give you lots of trouble and you wont understand why next click on system administration synaptic package manager you will be prompted for your password so give the password that you entered at the very beginning of the install click on settings repositories and see that download from is united states if you cant find the apache php mysql packages go back to this setting and choose main server although i think for...
