Answer 1

I haven't used it ......but seen it.......it is a modified version of Ubuntu ......... Some of the usual thinks available to Ubuntu is changed and some are added up.......Try installing Ubuntu tweak....it may sometimes help you.......Check how the software center is configured.......

Answer 2

even terminal is saing "permission denied" when i try to compile any source code
and as i hav said....
whenevr i reach 75 - 85 % yhe downloading stops!!
please reply soon or i'll reformat to ubuntu 11.40 :)

Answer 3

while installing did it ask for a root password........(type su in terminal, it will ask for a password, that is the superuser/password to access the root/) go to user account options(in menu) and set a superuser password.....and enable previlages to install and remove programmes. Hope it is not your first Linux installation.

I guess it is because of usermapping if you use ntfs file system.Let me the filesystem i can guide you .(Where you face this problem).
I want o/p like this
kracekumar@python-lover:~$ df -T
Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda11 ext4 36990536 12918072 22193424 37% /
none devtmpfs 1474632 744 1473888 1% /dev
none tmpfs 1481240 3116 1478124 1% /dev/shm
none tmpfs 1481240 236 1481004 1% /var/run
none tmpfs 1481240 0 1481240 0% /var/lock
/dev/sda6 fuseblk 77869052 63918196 13950856 83% /media/OTHERS

Answer 5

yesss its the file system
i moved it to ext3 and then marked it as exectable then it works
no file on ntfs is able to be executed by wine
i think its a new security enhancement of ubuntu
:)
thanks every1

@shashank1199:It is because of user mapping issues in ntfs.
