Hai friends!
I am new to ubundu, and i have not much skills with computer applications and formalities. I have been using computer since 2002, and all my' expereince '( b a d) was with different window versions. My lap is dELL INSPIRON 1545 and it had some display problem with win xp 2. actual sreen size is15.6” but drivers installed by windows and dELL showed visibility problems in internet sites ;that i have to change settings from site to site. After somtimes i decided to change my OS with UBUNDU, and it gave me better desktop and site perfection. Then the problem was many sites showing language problems (malayalam language only).Currently i can read only one malayalam daily ie, Mathrubhoomidaily.
Try Mathrubhoomi..........Mathrubhumi
In all other news papers, only head page is readable. for Other topics malayalam font conversion is not taking place. available information from local'Malayala manorama daily ' is that Open source browsers do not support their fonts. my question is why the heading alone is converted and visible.Is their banner alone is in different format?. interestingly, their weekly magazine is displayed and could read with Mozilla.
Try Manorama...........Malayala Manorama Online
Because i was a window puller ,i had been taught with to fear of 'virus' in every approach. For starting with windows we need two prayers , one to GOD and next to 'VIRUS. If both of them do not comply with ,our plight is sad with windows. It will show all colours to indian local computers, which is a different story that i shall reveal later.
After installing with the latest version of ubundu ,which support malayalam language well, except for 'news paper site' ;I am to say the system is doing extra well ( my openion ). Their is clarity with program selection, no hesitations with selections. While proceeding withUBUBDU, to my surprise i saw an antivirus program available with system tools; for a fancy and being an ex-Window bee , installed it and run. Surprisingly it braught up with a few virus repoting.
Full details as follows:-
ClamTk is a GUI front-end for the ClamAV antivirus using gtk2-perl.
Promotter site address is http;//clamtk.sf.net (http://clamtk.sf.net).
ClamTk, (c) 2004-2009. All rights reserved.
This program is free software; you can redistribute it
and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
Dave M, dave.nerd <at> gmail.com ..............................and so on.
Now suspected virus detected are:-
in folders, /home/shaju/.mozilla/firefox/bajdihdj.default/Cashe/7A4EOB20d01..etc
I have taken screenshot of the findings and is placed on my desktop to 'handle with'?.
This is where i called for your help and suggestion.
Kindly keep in contact and reply.
Loving,
shaju as grashain.
Dtd 29th November 2009.
