It's the second day of
linux, and now I am getting use to all its general interfaces. The
quick launch, the dash, multiple workspaces, the small e-mail button
in the upper right corner(i don't know what it is called) and the
terminal.
Another problem I faced
with ubuntu is related to it's music player (Rhythmbox). I should
provide that it's very easy to access Rythmbox in Ubuntu, and that's
through the speaker icon appearing in the upper right corner of the
workspace. However, the problem is that I have to import my music
files to Rythmbox each time I run the application. That is sure a
pain in the a**. The pain becomes severe due to the fact that I have
plenty of songs in my 'songs' folder and it gets quite a long time to
import them all to the application.
I'm beginning to
understand the reason for this; I think linux is treating each of the
partitions as one single disk which can be mounted and ejected from
the root. In that way, if I have not mounted my disk partition where
the songs have been stored in Windows, I have to go through all the
trouble just to play my music. It is just like playing music from a
CD. But I might be wrong, or there can be an easy way.
Still it's pretty hard
to type long articles in Ubuntu because the touch-pad does not get
switched off when I'm typing and when ever my palm touches it the
cursor goes to somewhere else. :D I hope I will be able to find a
patch for that.
The next problem I
faced was regarding the applications which I wanted at the start-up.
Specifically skype. The solution was easy. Just click on the upper
right corner where you have the power off icon, and select 'Start-up
Applications' from the drop down menu. For the command just type
'skype' (if you go to the terminal and directly type 'the name of the
software' you can access it, that's the logic behind the entry under
command label). Problem solved.
That's all for now.
