KQ Infotech Pvt. Ltd. is responsible for spamming many Linux forums. Being a clueless company, KQ believes that spamming forums advertising the company's capabilities will raise awareness of the company and drive visitors to their site. We are also firm believers in talking about ourselves in the third person, because it sounds more unbiased.

 

KQ’s expertise in understanding how customers react to their first post contributing nothing of value to any forums greatly undermines any standing they have in the Linux community. After dedicated effort, we have finally created a product that is available for the selected beta customers, but rather than alert those selected beta customers by using an email circular or our own customer forums, we feel the best way of communicating this information is to spam the hell out of every forum possible. Please log on to our website to apply to become one of these selected beta customers in the vain hope you will be selected, despite the fact we have already mentioned we have selected them so you've missed the boat, I'm afraid, but we can still demonstrate how effective spamming forums is. We don't work like most open-source communities that put their products live on sourceforge or available for public testing, we require that you jump through hoops to register yourself through the beta form in order to get the code for testing. Once you fill the form, we have your details, and one of our representatives will be contacting you by spamming forums once again.

 

As we are selecting a batch of 25 beta customers from different testing environments, please await until we get at least this number, since we have no beta testers nor public forums of our own. To allow proper support bandwidth for beta customers, we have limited the batch to 25, because we are crap at capacity planning and have no concept of using anything like torrents or network peering to make the data available. We would be increasing the bandwidth as and by the beta matures, because we treat you as paying customers, and not as testers, so expect to pay something to cover the cost of our bandwidth. We are in the process of selecting our first batch of customers, so please register yourself through the form now, otherwise we won't have any testers (sorry, customers) to run our tests.

 

Thank all search engines for indexing this forum post, and for showing just how many times KQ has spammed numerous forums and had their post pulled.

I did a lot of looking on-line and that was not helpful at all. I hope someone can explain how I can either extract all files from an RPM or only extract certain files from an RPM?

 

This is without installing the RPM file.

 

Thanks in advance,

I have windows now, and lots of files/windows programs that I want to keep. However, I also want to get Linux. I don't want a special "user-friendly" edition or anything like that-- I know it'll be hard to get used to, which is why I'm keeping windows until I'm comfortable enough with Linux. If anybody can help me to install Linux without losing everything else, or recommend a good simple version to start building onto and customizing, I would really appreciate your help.

Hi,

 

I set my computer up as a dual vista ubuntu boot. I also created an extra partition into which I dumped all my old files from old laptops etc. At first this was all fine and I could access it no problems. However, several updates later the permission seem to have been changed and I can now no longer access the partition (although i can still see it). Bearing in mind I don't want to risk losing the data, how do i change the permissions so I can access the files again?

 

Thanks in advance

I am in dire need of help again.

 

After doing the latest updates on my Eee1000 Fedora13 netbook, I get the usual screen that asks for my /home directory password:

On my new linux mint 9 system the accidental removal of a supply plug has caused firefox to become inoperable. This happened also on my Fedora 10 system, where it was fixable by going into admin and setting firefox to activate on startup. I can't find such an option on linux mint 9. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Cheers, GM

I have a creative Live! Cam Vista IM webcam which works ok in linux mint 9 Cheese but doesn't work in Skype. If I press the test option in Skype the whole screen goes blank and the the options screen reappears with no test picture on it. Is this fixable or do I need to get another webcam, and if so, which webcams will work in Skype with Linux Mint 9?

 

Cheers, GM

hey dudes!

 

I got this old laptop from a friend of mine.

it;s a p3 500mhz with only 86mb's of ram.

Would it be possible to run a linux with graphical interface on it?

Reason I am asking is cause I actually don't want to put windows 98 on that machine....even though it would let me run some programs and old games which xp and up won't run....

I have no idea wjhere to start trouble shooting my problem.

 

My wireless card is able to detect wireless signals but I can not connect to them. I get a pop up window that asks me to enter the security passkey. I am sure I am entering the right one, I double checked the router security settings through a wired connection. However, the icon whirls around for a few seconds and then gives me the same pop up window again asking for the passkey. I can not connect to open networks either.

 

I am using Fedora 13 and this developed after recent updates from about two weeks ago.

I am not sure how to ask or even what to ask. I imagine there might be many ways to accomplish this.

What I want is to be able to restore my linux installation from a USB key.

 

I am not concerned about backing up my /home directory. I am only concerned with reproducing my software and drivers as they are currently set up now on my computer. To best illustrate my aim, I guess what I want is what live-usb-creator can do: install my set up to hard drive. Is this possible?

 

 

 

 

I am using fedora 13 with an Eee1000 solid state. My partitioning is thus:

first drive:

/boot

/

 

second drive:

swap

/home
