LG3D IN MY UBUNTU BOX

+===================+

I told you naa i wud be dng Lg3d in my Ubuntu box....After all the patience i showed in downloading the below said files paid off (Mind U---I hav the freaking Slow TATA Indicom Wireless connection)..I used FDM to schedule my download and yesterday I was awake ,determined to finish the downloads.So I spent my time watching the Casino Royale DVDRip till 2:30 AM .Alas the download was finished and so did the movie. When i got up in the morning ,I was tired really. Over that ,there was no current supply @ college and it was all sweating and whining and hahahaha wat all things we cud do we did it. Poor teacher couldnt withstand the emotion [:D]

After I had visit by Anoop and Unni ,i completed another few pages of my assignment.Then i thought of doing LG3D in ma Ubuntu.SO after 9:45PM ,i logged into my Ubuntu. The installation was smooth except the in-between License agreement (Sun Microsystems gona miss that part in Future hopfully)
.Now when i logged out I could find the "Look Like Glass" stuff in my Session screen.A 2 second delay and whoossshh...THere I have my LG3D desktop..Took dis screenshot and also planning to include a video in YouTube..That would also happen at the earliest........Enjoy...People go for it....................................


LG3D in Action

I installed the much acclaimed LG3D project in my XP box and it is simply magnificient. The download links are https://lg3d-core.dev.java.net/files/documents/1834/46218/lg3d-daily-1-0-0-win32-i686-0612191042-setup.exe (for Windows) https://lg3d-core.dev.java.net/files/documents/1834/46295/lg3d-core_1.0.0_amd64.deb (Ubuntu/or any 64bit Linux Machines) https://lg3d-core.dev.java.net/files/documents/1834/46296/lg3d_java3d_1.5.0_amd64.deb same as for LINUX but COMPULSORY Here is the screenshot too Soon you can expect one from my Ubuntu Machine too .............

Another Remarkable Day.....SSH worked Smoothly and Rakesh Logged in..
+===============================================+

This is my desktop above .There you can see a file WELCOME RAKESH which was meant for Rakesh.Below that is a file created by Rakesh.

Now my system specs..Im using an AMD64 3000+ processor that has a clock of 1.8Ghz.I use a cool MoBo by the name ASUS A8N-VM. (nVidia GeForce 6100 onboard + nVidia nForce 410)..Cool Stuff Indeed .Since Im using a 64bit PC ,i though why not try Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) and Iam greatful to Canonical for their services.

Synaptic is really an excellent Package Manager and I downloaded "openssh-server "using it.Alos I downloaded PuTTY from the repository(In case ...:D).

I could start the Remote Shell Sever from the Services segment in the Administration part.Ubunt users see next to the FireFox icon).Then i asked my friend to type the following in the console.

ssh nandu@219.64.66.228

nandu --> My user name followed by @ and my IP during that time.

Then he faces something similar to this

The authenticity of host '127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 0c:77:3b:0c:55:07:0e:0a:3e:cb:9f:85:75:f6:c7:77.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?


I asked him to hit yes and press enter which came up with this on his terminal

Warning: Permanently added '127.0.0.1' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
nandu@127.0.0.1's password:

Now i give him my password and he enters it>what he sees next is something like this

Linux nandu-desktop 2.6.15-28-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 1 15:53:41 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Last login: Thu Mar 8 00:27:53 2007 from localhost


Here i have demonstrated using my localhost .So readers just replace the localhost with my /Your IP and try these.
You can tweak the SSH server by bringing considerable changes in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and also /etc/ssh/ssh_config file in the user mode.

NB: NEVER ACCESS THE NET USING LINUX IN THE ROOT USER MODE...
SEEK HELP OF SUPER USER MODE AS AND WHEN NECESSARY
