Debian :: How To Install A .run File From The Terminal
Sep 6, 2010
I have this NVIDIA.run file and rather than executing it in the terminal from changing properties, I want to just install it from the terminal, since Debian always insists for a super user privilege, and I can't login as root in the X-Server. This is a catch 22 imo, though nevermind that. It seems that in attempt to replace the .exe files of Windows OS, other safety features impede such. This leaves beginners with such a disposition, how do I get this dam .run file to run... hihi. This is not the first time I've 'run' into such a similar issue, and the pro geni of this system seem to think that these issues are slight.
Iv installed debian 6.0.1 and tried to install the kde desktop. it installed ok but when i boot up now i just get a terminal. Iv tried starting x but apparently its already running which kinda makes sence since the terminal IS a bit gui (you can use the mouse to select some menu buttons at the top) Iv made sure xorg and kdm and all that jass in installed and up to date but nothing seems to work.
I saw in an ubuntu forum that someone with the same problem solved it by renaming their home folder then making a new one with "the correct permissions" however i have no idea hgow to do that from the terminal and alot fot eh commands they talked about dont seem to work which i was surprised by since i thought it was all bash? (ie startx, service, sudo are all invalid commands for me apparently)
i just installed ubuntu and i wanna put wine on so i can install my itunes and adapters an so on. but when i try to install through terminal it always reads that theres no file found or cant complete installation. and theres no net hooked up to it cuz the wireless adapter wont work.
I mainly use debian jessie , recently i have installed daragora as my second os to get a feel of gnu/linux . the problem is that dragora uses bash , and it's commands are different from debian jessie terminal is there a way that i can use the same commands here in dragora?
gnome-terminal from the Debian squeeze does not use the 'default_size_columns' and 'default_size_rows' from the /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/ folder of gconf.
Is it possible to disable all passwords in debian. I do not need any security usernames and passwords. I don't want type sudo all the times and i want free acces all the time. With debian i allways have some premission problems and why i need a password for my home computer?
1. For example today when i tried to install a file debian told me that my username is not in sudoers file. How can i fix this? 2. Is it possible to disable all passwords and asking admin premission, i dont need that kind of ??? for my home computer. (including the login screen user/password asking) And i am sorry for my grammar errors, i hope you can still understand what i have tried to say.
I'm looking for some information about termcap and terminfo... I've got some, but the problem is that some things confuse me... I thought every terminal and terminal emulator should be there, but many of the terminal emulators I use are not there.. Is this different between distributions?
I find xcompmgr more than adequate for making a desktop look pretty modern, and I don't like the more extravagentCompiz gimmicks - but there is one thing that irritates when using xcompmgr which someone here might have worked round.
Rounded window borders don't draw and redraw properly when using the Terminal (gnome-terminal and the LXDE and Xfce ones) or system monitor and moving them from their default place. You get this little white botch at the corners. I'm not massively technical and I'm ambivalent about how much more I want to learn as I have plenty of creative outlets already, but I would like to solve this. Somehow xcompmgr is treating these programs as a different class? It's capable of drawing the window borders properly as it is just these two programs that get botched. Possibly this doesn't get noticed as maybe people usually use xcompmgr with openbox and LXDE and their square window borders. I did do a search but there was nothing matching what I saw.
there is any way (via terminal or gediting a file) to use .flac files instead of .ogg in a sound theme file? I am creating a sound theme (several truthfully) and I would like to use the FLAC format if possible.

I am writing little first-step-applications for my N900 (Maemo Linux). Everything worked fine till now. I already have own applications for the device, but non of them uses an external data file.
Now I am trying to create an application for my N900 which uses an external .txt file. The package is created successfully, the application is installed successfully, however the binary does not see the .txt (maybe it is not in the package?).

I writed the following lines into MADDE developer:
I am having a problem installing a game that is a .bin file. I have looked through various forums, and on Google, but can only find how to install .exe through emulation,open .zip, and other formats. I am using Dreamlinux Xfce desktop (Which to my understanding is Debian based). I pretty much have to face the fact can't figure out s**t on here.
I have tried running it from the terminal in these ways:
And some command I came across- $ Chmod (there was more to this command line but I forget it, found it on google, it ends with: +1 run)
I don't really grasp alot of the commands (I can look up DIR, run files, ya know ... simple stuff) and have spent most of the time just setting my OS to work, and this .bin is my first shot at an install...
After a fresh install of Debian I came across an error Im hoping you guys can help me with. Ive searched for the error and it appears there are multiple reasons that could be causing it. To compound the problem, Im at work so I dont have the specific error messages....so I just installed Lenny (standard install, no desktop) using a USB installer and everything went very smooth. On first boot, the system paused while waiting for the root file system. After a minute or two it just errored out complaining it could not find the root file system and put me at a (vmlinuz) prompt?My guess is that I need to go into my bios and change my boot priority.. but again, thats just a guess.
I'm a long time user of Debian, but I'm having trouble with my partitioning process. Here is where I currently stand:
I am installing the latest Wheezy build. I am trying to install debian with an encrypted LVM that spans two hard disks.
My partitioning layout is as:
1. /home 2. /root 3. swap 4. /boot
I then added partitions 1, 2 and 3 to a physical volume group. I then took that physical volume group and added it to a logical volume. Then I encrypted the logical volume, leaving the /boot partition untouched. I was under the assumption that the only partition the system needed free to reach the loading of the LVM is the /boot partition, as it holds the files necessary for booting. But when I attempt to finalize the disk, it gives an error stating, "No root file system detected". That would be an issue as it is currently sitting inside the encrypted LV. Am I wrong in including the root partition in the encrypted LV?
What is the best way of having as little of my file system non-encrypted as possible while still allowing a proper boot?
I just installed debian from debian-live-8.2.0-amd64-standard+nonfree.iso and after installation, which finished without problems, I cannot boot the system. I get the error:
Code: Select allfile '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found
From grub-rescue via ls command I see that I don't have the i386-pc folder inside /boot/grub. I have only two files: unicode.pf2 and grub.cfg
I am trying to install wxsqlite3-2.0.2 on my Debian machine. I have installed wxGTK-2.8.11 in the folder: /home/mrj2/wxGTK-2.8.11
When I run the wxsqlite3-2.0.2 configure script, a problem arises due to the fact that wxGTK is expected to be in a specific directory. The wx-config file cannot be found. However, there are copies of these files for each type of build in the folders:
