Simple steps involved to transfer files between Nokia Express Music 5310/5320 and ubuntu linux:

1. First, connect the Nokia Connectivity Cable CA-101 to your Nokia 5310/5320. Then, plug into your laptop/ PC.
2. From Nokia Express 5310/5320 menu, select Mass Storage.
3. In few seconds, it will be detected as an USB storage. You can create any directory that you want.
4. In the directory, select the files you want to copy and move.
5. In your Nokia, select the directory and paste the files.

Tips:
From the menu, always click “Unmount Volume” from Nokia 5310/5320 icon before you unplug the CA-101 cable.

Troubleshooting the transfer problems:
If you are having problems with the transfer, please check the phone’s USB connection. It should be in “Data storage” mode, so that it functions as a USB Mass Storage device.

From the standby screen, kindly
Press “Menu”
Select “Settings”
Select “Connectivity”
Select “USB data cable”
Select either “Data storage” or “Ask on conn.”

Let’s say you choose “Ask on conn.“, then everytime you connect the device via USB you will be prompted on the phone to select either “PC Suite” (for use with Nokia PC Suite), “Printing & media” (emulate a digital camera), or “Data storage” (USB Mass Storage mode).

Kindly leave your valuable comments regarding how to transfer files between linux (mandriva, ubuntu, other linux distros) and other phones such as Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, etc. We’d be glad to hear from you so that we could learn together and help beginners to solve their problems.

What’s new in this version?
Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition delivers the features you need for an increasingly mobile digital life, including 3G wireless support and guest sessions that lets users temporarily share computers without compromising security. Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition consolidates its support for virtualization with an integrated Virtual Machine builder, and brings with it a fully-supported Java stack and support for per-user directory encryption.

If you don’t know what is linux, you might want to read linux basic faqs for beginners.

At the lowest level, every Linux system is based on the Linux kernel — the very low-level software that manages your computer hardware, multi-tasks the many programs that are running at any given time, and other such essential things. These low-level functions are used by other programs, so their authors can focus on the specific functionality they want to provide. Without the kernel, your computer is a very expensive doorstop. It has all of the features of a modern operating system: true multitasking, threads, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared, copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, loadable device driver modules, video frame buffering, and TCP/IP networking.

Most often, the name “Linux” is used to refer to the Linux Operating System. An OS includes the kernel, but also adds various utilities — the kinds of programs you need to get anything done. For example, it includes a shell (the program that provides a command prompt and lets you run programs), a program to copy files, a program to delete files, and many other odds and ends. Some people honor the request of Richard Stallman and the GNU Project, and call the Linux OS GNU/Linux, because a good number of these utility programs were written by the GNU folks.

Finally, software companies (and sometimes volunteer groups) add on lots of extra software, like the XFree86 X Window System, Gnome, KDE, games and many other applications. These software compilations which are based on the Linux OS are called Linux distributions.

So, there are three Linuxes: the Linux kernel, the Linux OS, and the various Linux distributions. Most people, however, refer to the operating system kernel, system software, and application software, collectively, as “Linux”, and that convention is used in this FAQ as well.

Q: Is linux unix?
A: Officially an operating system is not allowed to be called a Unix until it passes the Open Group’s certification tests, and supports the necessary API’s. Nobody has yet stepped forward to pay the large fees that certification involves, so we’re not allowed to call it Unix. Certification really doesn’t mean very much anyway. Very few of the commercial operating systems have passed the Open Group tests.

A: Unofficially, Linux is very similar to the operating systems which are known as Unix, and for many purposes they are equivalent. Linux the kernel is an operating system kernel that behaves and performs similarly to the famous Unix operating system from AT&T Bell Labs. Linux is often called a “Unix-like” operating system. For more information, see http://www.unix-systems.org/what_is_unix.html.

Q: Who wrote linux?
A: Linus Torvalds and a loosely knit team of volunteer hackers from across the Internet wrote (and still are writing) Linux from scratch.

Q: How is linux licensed?
A: Linus has placed the Linux kernel under the GNU General Public License, which basically means that you may freely copy, change, and distribute it, but you may not impose any restrictions on further distribution, and you must make the source code available.

This is not the same as Public Domain. See the Copyright FAQ, ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/law/copyright, for details.

Full details are in the file COPYING in the Linux kernel sources (probably in /usr/src/linux on your system). There is a FAQ for the GPL at: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html.

The licenses of the utilities and programs which come with the installations vary. Much of the code is from the GNU Project at the Free Software Foundation, and is also under the GPL. Some other major programs often included in Linux distributions are under a BSD license and other similar licenses.

Q: How does one pronounce linux?
A: This question produces an outrageous amount of heated debate.

If you want to hear Linus himself say how he pronounces it, download english.au or swedish.au from ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/PEOPLE/Linus/SillySounds/. If you have a sound card or the PC-speaker audio driver you can hear them by typing

$ cat english.au >/dev/audio

The difference isn’t in the pronunciation of Linux but in the language Linus uses to say, “hello”.

For the benefit of those who don’t have the equipment or inclination: Linus pronounces Linux approximately as Leenus, where the ee is pronounced as in “feet,” but rather shorter, and the u is like a much shorter version of the French eu sound in peur (pronouncing it as the u in “put” is probably passable).
