A Normal Monoguy

Continued from the first part of Configuration made to my Ubuntu 8.10,

11.Install OpenOffice 3.0 using the the same method.

12.Install Flash 10 final using the same method given in the entry.

13.Telneting to Motorola Rokr E6 works right away without any furture configuration by using the following method but you don't need to recompile the kernel in this time.

• Connect your phone to the computer using the USBNET mode. The internet connection will be lost for a while. To see that you can really telnet to your E6 say

# ifconfig

• usb0 must be there on the list. You will need to run the following command

# sudo modprobe usbnet
# ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.1
# telnet 192.168.1.2

14. I ran the command to enable medibuntu repositories

$ sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

You will need to say yes at:

Install these packages without verification?

15. I say (to enable all repositires)

16. Enable Playback of Encrypted DVDs in Ubuntu 8.10
