K3b (KDE Burn Baby Burn) is a CD and DVD authoring application for the KDE desktop for Unix-like computer operating systems.It Can Also Be Used in Gnome. It provides a graphical user interface to perform most CD/DVD burning tasks like creating an Audio CD from a set of audio files or copying a CD/DVD (Images,Data etc), as well as more advanced tasks such as burning eMoviX CD/DVDs. It can also perform direct disc-to-disc copies. The program has many default settings which can be customized by more experienced users. The actual disc recording in K3b is done by the command line utilities cdrecord or wodim, cdrdao, and growisofs. As of version 1.0, K3b features a built-in DVD ripper.

After Installing K3b :

Features :

Just left-click one of your devices in the device and file tree and see what happens. K3b opens a specific window based on the media’s contents. For an audio CD for example you will be given a list of the tracks with the possibility to rip these tracks to any format supported by K3b (like mp3 or Ogg-Vorbis).

…that K3b lets you choose media instead of devices for burning. So if you want to burn to a certain medium simply insert it and wait for K3b to detect it. It will then appear as your burning medium ,there are many features of this wonderful software which i can’t explain one by one.

How to Install rtl8139 D Lan in Fedora 6 or Any Version (try for any kernel).

See if the device is known;

Open->Terminal

and as a root

[Puneet@localhost ~]$su -

[Puneet@localhost ~]$ Password:

[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/lspci -v

The Above Command will show the Devices

See if the driver is loaded with the following command :
[root@localhost ~]#cat /proc/modules | grep 8139too

if the above command shows 8139too (most probably )exits in between the result ,it means you have to try using first the following

as a root

[root@localhost ~]#depmod -a

[root@localhost ~]#modprobe rtl8139too

or

for only rtl8139

[root@localhost ~]#depmod -a

[root@localhost ~]#modprobe rtl8139

modprobe rtl8139 or rtl8139too installs the driver file for the card, but also any other modules rtl8139 is dependent on (namely pci-scan). It’s basically a shell for the command insmod. insmod has an option, -f, just for such an occasion which forces an installation of a modules despite a kernel-module mismatch.
However, short of adding this option to the modprobe configuration file, I couldn’t find a way to get modprobe to pass this option to insmod. YOu could just go ahead and use insmod -f on both pci-scan and rtl8139, but since the modprobe config file needs to be edited evenually anyway (for a different
reason), I went the config file route

Modify /etc/modules.conf

add the following lines at the end of the /etc/modules.conf file:

Copy the Following and Paste it in the modules.conf at the begning or end of module.conf:For 8139too(Most Probably)

alias eth0 rtl8139too
insmod_opt=-f

Save and Exit.

or

For rtl8139

alias eth0 rtl8139
insmod_opt=-f

Save and Exit.

The alias command lets the os know that eth0 refers to your ethernet driver.he insmod_opt command is sort of a hack to get modprobe to pass the -f Option to insmod. After you’ve sucessfully got your ethernet working, you should Probably go back and remove or comment out the insmod_opt line (but leave
the alias line!)

Now Re-attempt to install the modules

For rtl8139too(most probably)

[root@localhost ~]#depmod -a
[root@localhost ~]#modprobe rtl8139too

or

For rtl8139

[root@localhost ~]#depmod -a
[root@localhost ~]#modprobe rtl8139

The ‘depmod -a’ line needed to repeated since you’ve modified the
modules.conf ile. This should install the pci-scan and rtl8139 modules

Now Verify module installation

Type lsmod in the terminal . The relvant lines should look something like this:

Module Size Used by

rtl8139 12400 1

Now start the eth0 service :

[root@localhost ~]#ifconfig eth0 up

This starts up eth0. Check it’s up by running ifconfig and now restart ur( computer or lappy )

or u can also try restarting the network services from the command below :

first configure ur card by filling the ip address and then follow the command below :

[root@localhost ~]#service network restart

:)

Enjoy Networking.

These are commands found useful in terminal as root

modprobe /lib/modules/2.***/net rtl8139 (*** means change the Kernel according to urs as Existing)

modprobe -c
dmesg
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/pci
insmod rtl8139
lsmod
rmmod
ifconfig
ifconfig eth0 up
depmod -a
lspci -vv

Some of the file locations

/usr/src/packages/
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES – tgz files
/usr/src/pakcages/BUILD – source files
/etc/modules.conf – modprobe configuration files

Happy networking

Virtualization programs, such as those from VMware, bring you closer to the more ideal solution of using both systems at once, but one is always the host and one is always the guest, shown inside a window. But by combining VMware Server with some free software, you can run Windows XP along with Linux, not inside a console window, but completely integrated into the Linux environment.

Required Applications :

1)VMware

2)rdesktop.

Check if rdesktop is Intalled or Not.

For Gnome or Kde :

Open ->Terminal

and Type the command :
rdesktop

If It Show You the Output.(it means rdesktop is Already installed,Other wise it throw an Error :bash command not Found)

First of All Get Serial No. of VMware by Filling the Form Below,it is Free of Charge and Never Expires :-

http://register.vmware.com/content/registration.html

Fill up the Form and You will receive the Serial Number Immediately after Clicking the Submit Button.

Note :->VMware Server Need Serial Number Between the Installation ,So You must copy it and Save it Before Starting VMware Installation.

VMware Installation :

If You r Debian/Ubuntu Users Open Your Synaptic Package Manager :->

System->Administration-> Synaptic Package Manager

Search for VMware-server and rdesktop and Install Them.

Or

If You Are Fedora/OpenSuse Users OPen the Default Package Manager (eg. Fedora Users Can Use Yumex and Suse Users Can Use Yast) Search For VMware-server ad rdesktop and Install Them.

VMware will Ask You for Serial Number Paste the Serial Number which You Have Copied Before,Now Proceed and Finish Installation.

Now Open VMware and Follow The Steps Below :-

• Click Local Host->Now Click Connect.
• select ‘Create a new virtual machine’
• Select Typical and click Next.
• => Next => Next => Select Windows Xp (or whatever Windows versions you want to install )
• => Next => Enter a name and select a location for the Virtual Machine File (It contains the virtual harddisk, so it needs quite some space, Min.
• 3 GB, but I would recommend 8+ GB )
• => Next => Select Network type. Select NAT,Click Next,
• => Next => Choose the size for the Virtual Disk.
• => Next => Finish

It will Take Few Minutes to Create Virtual Machine ,When it is Created Follow the Steps Below.

Now we can start the newly made virtual machine and the install of Windows!

• Start the virtual machine
• Hopefully it detects your Windows install CD and will start the installation! If it won’t boot from the CD, stop the virtual machine and check/change the preferences for the virtual machine regarding the CD drive
• Now Install WIndows To it,There is No Need To explain How to Install Windows.

Now Windows Will Start Automatically after Installation.

1. Now Go to->Control Panel->Click the Switch to Classic View->Now Double Click On System Icon and Go to Remote Tab->Check The Box :-”Allow Users to Connect Remotely to This Computer”
2. Now Go to-> Start -> Run and typing regedit. Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Policies -> Explorer. Once there, right-click on the right panel and select New -> DWORD Value. Name it NoDesktop, then click on it and change the data value to 1. Close the Registry editor and restart Windows.
3. Now Create a User Account.Go to Control Panel->Click user accounts icon ->Click On Create a New Account ->Give User name when Required->Create a Password and Close the User Account Window.
4. Go to Control Panel->Click on Network Connections->Single Click The Local Area Connection Icon and in the Left Side ,You Will See the Ip Address, Note it Down somewhere because you will need it Later.
5. Next, install SeamlessRDP from within your Windows virtual machine. Open Internet Explorer and Download Seamlessrdp.zip From Here. Create a directory under C:/ and Name it to seamlessrdp and Now Double Click The Downloaded Seamless Zip File .Copy the three files into the Newly Created directory seamlessrdp ( you’ll use seamlessrdpshell.exe later).
6. Now install the VMWare tools. This will speed up your Windows responsiveness

• Make sure your Windows Virtual Machine is Running and visable/selected. (Not in FullScreen)
• Go to the VM menu (on the top in the VM Server Console)
• Select Install VMWare Tools.
  This will start a installation wizard in your Windows Environment. Just install the stuff and you will have better mouse and system responsiveness.

CTRL + ALT will release the mousecursor from the virtual machine
CTRL + ALT in FullScreen mode will get you out of the FullScreen.

You can Suspend a running virtual machine. this way it will start very fast the next time you need it.
To have sound support, add a sound device in the virtual machine settings.

Now Just Log off Windows and Close the VMware Server window.

(Note :Don’t Shut Down Windows ,it will Remains Running in the Background ,after Closing the VMware Server Window) .

Finally :->

Create a Shortcut on your linux desktop :Right Click On Desktop->Create Launcher-> Name it whatever you like and in the Command Write the Following Text.

rdesktop -A -s ‘c:\seamless\seamlessrdpshell.exe c:\windows\explorer.exe’ windowipaddress -u windowusername -p windowspassword

Where windowipaddress is the Address Which You have Noted Earlier windowusername is the name of the user account ,which u have created earlier and windowspassword is the Password of the User Account ,like an example :

rdesktop -A -s ‘c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe c:\windows\explorer.exe’ 192.168.156.123 -u Puneet -p theking

That’s it

Now Double Click on The Shortcut .

:)

Note :Make Sure Disable any Running Firewall in the Linux Machine.

Now Click on the Shortcut Icon on Linux Machine.

Voila ! After a few seconds, you should have the Windows XP menu bar at the bottom of the screen, and you should be able to launch any application you have installed. You’ve created the illusion that both operating systems are working on the same machine at the same time. Very cool.

This trick doesn’t work with just VMware virtual machines. It also works with Windows clients on your network and other virtual machine software. Simply install SeamlessRDP and configure Windows XP properly so that rdesktop can connect to it.

Enjoy Linux and Windows Together on One Desktop.
