Unable to boot- please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU." what does it mean and how do i fix it do i have to download anything somewhere? please put links if i have too. Thanks a lot i really need this Linux for this operating systems class.
A. you need to enable virtualisation support in your bios - if you have it
you cannot run 64bit o/s's in virtualbox if you do not have the support
you cannot run 64bit o/s's in virtualbox if you do not have the support
How to install a new application in linux?
Q. Whenever i download a new program in my PClinuxOS, it shows it as a ".exe" file but doesn't open it.For example in my desktop a file lies as "AdbeRdr920_en_US.exe" but when i try to open it they ask me which application to open it with and shows a bunch of applications already installed by linux only.
A. .exe's are for windows only, they will not run natively in linux,
what program are you trying to install ?,
i guess its adobe reader - no need, you already have a pdf reader enabled
pclinuxos is built from mandriva linux, it uses rpm's as the packages,
it also uses the aptitude package management via synaptic,
(people associate synaptic and apt with ubuntu and mint, this is a error made by people who do not understand how to install or remove software from linux, you cannot use .deb packages - which are debian, you use rpm's which are redhat)
you will have a large S in your system tray, this is synaptic, click on it,
you will be asked for your ROOT password not your user password,
once open click reload
mark all upgrades and apply
once its finished you will have access to over 7000 pieces of software,
what you want will be there, just search and mark for install (and all dependancies)
i'll check back later
