LTS means long term support. So this version of Ubuntu is a nice flavor. But the main problem with open source OS is it will be just an OS without the some good applications.
So in this blog I am putting some good applications for Ubuntu and how to install it.
So in this blog I am putting some good applications for Ubuntu and how to install it.
After installing the Ubuntu first thing to do is update.
Once it is over install the basic required applications. First thing to do is install VLC player, because it contains almost all codecs required to play almost all kind of medias and it is a very simple player. Another important tool is vim. Other good applications include sun-java-jdk/jre or google chrome etc..
So given below is the installation commands
Before all, do everything as root (coz sometimes update doesn't work with sudo). For that take a terminal and type sudo passwd
Then it will ask your password, type it and give a new password for root user. Then logout and login as root and try sudo apt-get update. If you are in a LAN you may have to set http proxy ( export http_proxy=http://address:port/). So that is it. Once the repositories are updated you can start installing applications.
Applications (sudo is not required if login as root):
- sudo apt-get install vlc
- sudo apt-get install vim
- sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Install google chrome
- go to http://www.google.com/chrome and download and install.
