Debian :: Cannot Install Program With Bin Extension
Feb 16, 2011
I have recently installed Debian 6.0. Tried to install a program ,but I could not do it. The prog is called IOmeter (sorry, can't link it). I have also tried the " sudo apt-get install command i the terminal. It's easy to install the prog in Windows.
I wanted to try my hand at programming in an easy way, so I installed from the Ubuntu Software Center Basic-256. But it is more than 3 years old and does not fit to a book I downloaded. I got from Sourceforge the latest version which is a .tgz file. How do I install it?
I've been wondering what's the advantages and disadvantages of installing an iceweasel extension from the debian repositories vs the addons.mozilla.org website. I can thus far see that extensions installed from the repositories can't be uninstalled from inside iceweasel. Is there any difference? Are they installed in different places? Are they always accessible to all users? Any difference at all?
I just have a quick question. I was following a Snort setup guide and it told me to do apt-get install snort-mysql. I just wanted to understand the functionality of such a command where you specify a program and then do a -mysql (snort-mysql). Does this configure an SQL database for that specific application or what?
It says it requires version 2.17, but the one in the repository is libblkid1 (2.16.2-0) as seen on [URL]... I guess almost no one else is getting this as it isnt fixed! And it is such an important program (mkfs.ext*) Should i install the one from sid's repository? If this is such a huge bug as it seemes to be, why hasnt it been fixd for more than a day (after an "aptitude upgrade", then i noticed this).
I tried to install Vlc using the terminal (terminal as root). I've used the command aptitude install vlc. Instead of installing only vlc, my gnome desktop environment was removed, gdm was removed, many more programs was removed! What's the command for installing just a single program using the command line? I was used under Ubuntu to use the command sudo apt-get install [***]
Running the nvidia driver 304.125 from the repos. Debian 8.
I am running 4 monitors without xinerama. I'm not using xinerama because there is a bug which prevents opengl acceleration from working on all four screens since one of the gpus is a bit older than the other.
The solution for this, I am told, is to use xrandr instead of xinerama.
I'm using arandr as a nice front end to xrandr. However, when I run arandr on each screen, the only output it shows as available is the current screen.
I also see:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0"
etc.
How do I enable the RANDR extension so I can get arandr working and unify my four monitors into one?
I've had a graphical card and I've downloaded the driver (from the official website of NVIDIA) with extension .run. As I forget the command line to install it, I would like to ask about it.
I am trying to run the SDK for Meego with Qt. When I try to launch my simulator I get the error message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". The answer I got on Meego's forum is that I am missing glx extensions. I have tried to find a way to get the glx extensions but I do not seem to get it. My searches on the web all point to Nvidia, but I have got ATI. I run Lenny 5.0.6 amd64.

I've downloaded configuration files for my VPN, Kovurt, and they don't have a .ovpn file extension. Further, when I tried to enter the information manually (using this guide), I saw that the files only include the <ca> tags, and no <cert>, <key> or <tls-auth> tags.
Here is the content of one of the config files, simply named 'Tokyo' with no extension. (adding .ovpn didn't work either):
Code: Select allclient dev tun proto udp remote 50.31.255.86 443 resolv-retry infinite nobind
[Code] ....
I have an open ticket with Kovurt asking for the other info, but I know already that they don't have much in the way of documentation or support for Linux.
I can install the extension MozillaThunderbird Lightning for opensuse 11.3 and Thunderbird v3.1.1. I find on the web for 1-click install is for openSUSE 11.2.
When I try to get to the configuration of my monitor by using KDE Settings -> hardware -> monitor, I receive the msg: "Your X server is running the RandR extension at version 1.2 or greater which doesn't have any configuration yet." and it refuses to go further. What does this mean and where should I configure it? When I use Yast, Sax2 starts normally.

I have now almost completed my aim of using Debian and PClinuxOS on different installed hard disks. For PCLOS I use an On-Disk set of disks which I have installed on a separate hard disk which serves as a repository from Synaptic, which makes program install/remove very quick. Is it possible to do the same thing with the 5 DVD's for Debian lenny on another hard disk?
I didn't delete my old extension and recently mounted it so I could retrieve the data. I was wondering if there was any way I could make it the extension to my current native without deleting any of the data? Or if attaching it as an extension was at all possible at this point.
I want to install Forms & Reports Developer Suite in Linux OS So I have downloaded Oracle Developer Suite 10g for Linux (Including Forms & Reports) as_linux_x86_ids_101202_disk1.cpio as_linux_x86_ids_101202_disk2.cpio
So in the Oracle Documentation Site they have given Guide as Follows: To extract the cpio file, move the cpio file to an empty directory, then do: cat filename.cpio | cpio -icd .... but its not extracting.
When I try to install this extension in OpenOffice, I'm asked to read (and scroll through) the "Extension Software License Agreement" and accept it - but there are no buttons and no scroll bars. I tried clicking all over in case it was just invisible, but no luck.If I close the window, installation doesn't proceed.I'm on Mandriva 2009.0, but thinking of trying out Debian.
I want to install Eclips program from "Add/Remove Application" in Administration menu!I see this message and I click on 'Enable' button and I am connect to the Internet at the same time.But Eclips program did not install.This problem is for all programs , means my "Add/Remove Application" does not work properly
Reproducible with Firefox 3.6.6 (installed from Ubuntu 10.04 repository), on Dell D620, Ubuntu 10.04 Steps to reproduce:
1) start Firefox from command line "firefox -P"
2) create new Firefox profile on NTFS volume (mounted with NTFS-3g)
3) add NoScript extension (through extension manager Get Add-ons), restart Firefox as suggested
4) extension is not added to Firefox In case at step 2) profile is created on Linux volume, at 4) extension is added to firefox.I'm not 100% sure, but I think this bug is related to Firefox 3.6 update (no problems with Firefox 3.5). I did not make proper investigation, but I have feeling same problem applies to Thunderbird 3.1.This issue does not allow to share Firefox/Thunderbird profile on dual boot machine (Ubuntu/WindowsXP).
