limited -> admin rights

Tata indicom technician provided wired modem and static IP to the training centre. We got D-link DIR300 wireless router.Then we connected modems LAN port to internet port of the router. Then tested if the windows machine were connected to internet via the router.

Since, all machines got successfully connected, they were also in LAN. Then we configured file sharing in one of the windows machines, downloaded tortoiseSVN in the shared path.
We copied it to other machines by accessing shared path from Start -> run and typed \\IPaddress.

Since last time we created one limited account on every machine, we changed the account to admin type to enable students get going with the software installations.

Network Configuration

Today again I went with my boyfriend to the training centre. There I learnt to configure network on Windows. My boyfriend showed me for one computer and I configured the remaining ones. I assigned static IP address.
NetGear drivers weren’t installed in two of the computers, so I installed it . There were two computers which weren’t detecting PCI cards, which aren’t on network yet. We sent ping request from one computer to another. It worked except one – Linux server.
And also I downloaded three dosbox games (puzzle games).

Windows XP on VirtualBox

My exams are approaching, I’ve computer exams this time. So, today I installed VirtualBox on my blackcutie (PC). And then installed Windows XP on it. The configuration of this is 512MB RAM and virtual hard drive image (created only c drive) 7.97GB.
It took me about 30minutes to complete the installation. But MS-Office didn’t come by default in windows as Open Office came in Linux. Now who will give me Ms-Office?

Windows installation

Today I accompanied my boyfriend on a project for a new training centre to help as well as to learn windows installation.
There we connected brand new Dell LCD monitors (I wish I had one of it) and peripherals and then installed Windows XP home edition. Always I had a fear to connect PS/2 keyboard and mouse to its sockets as its pins are delicate and prone to bending. But he taught me how to connect it. And now I feel its one of the easiest parts to connect. Today I had a new problem i.e; with monitor power socket. As it was LCD monitor (that too not mine) and have to be very careful while handling it. So, I wasn’t able to see the pins. I connected only three monitors, I dont know how I did that (may be due to fear of my boyfriend).
Also I learned to add new NetGear Wi-Fi card in PCI slot and installed the drivers. But I missed doing Ghost copy from hard disk to hard disk. Thats ok coz I learnt other things and I am very much satisfied. Waiting for Monday to learn Ghosting.

NVIDIA drivers troubles me

At last I got Kubuntu7.10 64-bit cd. Installed it & partitioned the same way as I did while installing Kubuntu7.04cd.
I like Mario type games so downloaded SuperTux game. I eagerly waited for completion so that I can open and start playing SuperTux game, at the time of downloading. Downloading was successfully done. I opened the game and went to options and clicked OpenGL and started the game. The game was very slow, so installed NVIDIA graphics drivers. After installation I went back to the game and to my shock it wasn’t opening.
Then I tried to start through terminal and it was showing an error supertux: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I opened Adept Manager and installed libGL1-mesa-dev and reinstalled libGL1-mesa-dri & libGL1-mesa-glx. But of no use. Reinstalled the game and it was showing the same error.
I lost my game and not even played a single game.
