Martin, what's that program to see current running process and resource usages? looks convenient.

Standard for this is top, but I'm using htop.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

htop? Lemme check it...

 

[Alucard Belmont]

top is preinstalled with ubuntu, but after trying both htop and top. imo htop is better.
hope I'll find more later .
Martin if you have time, can you list some common useful program in Linux?

20" widescreen, 1680x1050, 700:1. Jealous yet? arty:

So glad I'm finally rid of my laptop with its 7GB harddrive and it's 12" screen. Had to suffer that thing for three years.

How about this one, I have been using this one for a year now...

I forget you're filthy rich

 

[Rami]

I forget you're filthy rich

If you say so....but "filthy" is just pushing it too much

 

[Slagathor]

That depends on your perspective

 

[Martin]

Martin if you have time, can you list some common useful program in Linux?

That could take a while. How about you tell us what you want to do and we can suggest applications :smile:

 

[Alucard Belmont]

yeah, It's better that way. thnx for all your help Martin.

 

[Chxta]

List of Linux software

 

[Alucard Belmont]

that'll be useful. I'll check it.

No, setup.exe (as an example) pertains to the Windows app you want to run. It assumes wine is already installed.

i can see the directory for wine and the windows program i installed. klick on it and nothing happens. should i assume it does not work?

 

[gray]

Bes, open up a terminal and enter:

wine filename.exe

For example:

wine utorrent.exe

Also, make sure you've configured wine to be running in Windows XP compatibility mode. Have you run winecfg?

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

no, no i have not

for future reference, how do i enter a "copyright" c on the terminal? the program has that in the name

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

gray, dont bother too much with it. i was able to access another "windows" program so i m assuming, nothing is wrong with wine

 

[gray]

no, no i have not

for future reference, how do i enter a "copyright" c on the terminal? the program has that in the name

I'm not sure how to do that in the terminal, but in general you should get used to using TAB to auto-fill your terminal commands as much as possible. Thanks to auto-complete, I find that it's a lot faster to get places using the terminal than clicking on stupid icons with the mouse.
