After the installation of Ubuntu, one must be wondering to find a gtalk, microsoft office and other such softwares. Unfortunately or fortunately these .exe files do not run on linux. Now you may be wondering what to do when they dont work. Once again I come to rescue and I'll be listing here few of the commonly used alternatives of windows software for linux.The best part being most of them come installed with every copy of Ubuntu
Windows Software ----> Linux Alternative
- IM messengers(Gtalk,Yahoo,Msn etc) ----> Pidgin (all-in-one)
- Microsoft Office (word, excel) ----> Open Office
- Acrobat reader ----> Evince pdf reader
- VLC ----> VLC
- Browser(for internet) ----> Firefox, Opera
- Photoshop ----> Gimp
-Odc or DC++ ---> Dc++ or Valknut

ReplyDeleteThe problem may be with your audio driver. Have u ever heard any sound in any other software,if not than i think u can install the oss compatability for pulse audio which is the driver for sound.
