Installing pathogen for vim in Ubuntu

Copy and pasting from the link here: 

Slighty modified the url of github:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle;

curl -Sso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen/tree/master/autoload

If the above doesn’t work because you don’t have curl installed, that is easy to remedy

sudo apt-get install curl

If you are new to vim and do not have a .vimrc file, create one with vim:

vim ~/.vimrc

and paste the following lines in a minimal .vimrc file 

" Pathogen

execute pathogen#infect()

call pathogen#helptags() " generate helptags for everything in 'runtimepath'

syntax on

filetype plugin indent on

Changing Computer's name in linux

You have to change the computers hostname as well.
Edit the hostname file and replace the name

gksudo gedit /etc/hostname

also change the name in hosts

gksudo gedit /etc/hosts

Leave the other stuff there untouched.
For the username, it would be cleaner if you deleted the old user and created your new one.

Ubuntu 12.10 fails too

As expected Ubuntu 12.10 also fails to load the screen. This is not surprising at all since  other ubuntu based distro like Xubuntu and Lubuntu also failed in similar fashion.

Opensuse and Fedora

Opensuse could not even boot and Fedora I have just started let's see how far I can go! Fedora gives me the same shit as Opensuse.

Horrific start with Lubuntu and Xubuntu 12.10

After installation, I do not get any GUI desktop at all. Stuck in the terminal.  Same with Xubuntu 12.10. I guess I will end up with the same in Ubuntu 12.10. 

Damn! Where Do I go?

One last ditch effort with R in Lubuntu 13.04

I just want to see whether it works or not. After all the updates  and upgrades, I am going to remove R and reinstall it to see whether it works or not. I am almost certain it won't make any difference but still.

sudo apt-get  --purge remove r-base
sudo apt-get autoremove

Well R still shows the same error! So good bye 13.04!

Lubuntu 13.04 Synaptic PM and results after updates through it

Synaptic PM needed  to be configured manually the proxy setting. It did not take it from the system. I did it and now I can download two image updates. Let's see whether  the problem with R goes away with this.

After all the updates and upgrades, I get the same old error in R. So I am officially closing this 13.04 distros as not working for me. Now time to move on to Lubuntu 12.10.
