I want to build some small soft wares in linux .
Example there is OS called ttylinux [URL] it supports only few packages , example it doesn't support GCC compiler etc .. So I want built this packages to the os and create a final image out of it .
i want to build .deb packages from the official nvidia installer (one for the driver and one for the kernel module). How can I do it?
View 11 Replies View RelatedMy new laptop works out of the box except for the video and the ethernet. For this, I have to use a later kernel than the Debian kernel (debian squeeze is currently 2.6.32). Upgrading to the new kernel (without moving to the testing dist itself) was pretty easy. I just installed linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64 and linux-base from the testing distribution by manually downloading and using dpkg. After that, ethernet and video started working.
However, my virtualbox installation no longer works because the drivers do not match the kernel. I am used to this; whenever debian upgrades the kernel on me, I have to run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup". This rebuilds the drivers. This failed for me, however, because it could not find the headers. So, I installed some more packages:
linux-kbuild-2.6.38
linux-headers-2.6.38-2-common
linux-headers-2.6.38-2-amd64
Now, when I rebuild it, I get this:
# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

What package do I have to install to build packages from sources? I am trying to build the TrueCrypt package from source.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian squeeze amd_65, using gde3/gnome.I'd like to use KMyMoney, but the latest packages (v4.5.2) and not the v3.9.8/test version that's in Synaptic Package Manager.I'd rather not install every package that contains *kde* in the name, but I'm more than willing to install the minimum required to compile and run them.Trying to build kmymoney v4.5.2. After some google searches on the specific errors, I initially learned about apt-file and the find feature.
I'm unable to determine what package I need for 'Boost', and although apt-file reports that kdepimlibs5-dev is the package for gpgme - I still have no files called QGpgmeConfig.cmake or qgpgme-config.cmake, and the log still shows 'Could NOT find QGpgme'.Any pointers on what package(s) I'm missing, or other ways to determine what I need?
Does aptitude(or apt-get) have the functionality to remove the packages installed from using build-dep? It just seems convenient if you want to remove a program that was built from source.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a total noob in the process of trying to build my own server. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 but when I did that I didn't have the computer hooked up with an ethernet or have any internet connection. During the installation process it was unable to set up DHCP, so I figured I would just do that later, somehow.
Anyways, I recently hooked up an ethernet cable from the server to another computer, which has internet.
I've been slowly working my way through the Server Documentation and am on the Networking chapter. It has given me the commands to install wireless-tools, ethtool, dhcp3 server and I've also tried to install gedit. Every time it gives me the error: E: Unable to locate package XXX
When I ran the sudo lshw -class network command I find that it recognizes both an ethernet interface as well as a wireless interface(my wireless adapter). BOTH of them say *-network DISABLED.
My goal is to enable both of those, but I am assuming I need to be able to locate the packages first. I installed the server edition using a USB pendrive. I still have the files on the pendrive, but I don't know how to make the server locate those files. I'm guessing it wants to access the installation files to locate the packages to install.
I want to build deb packages for two versions of same product that can be installed on the machine simultaneously. The source folder structure for both the packages have a common folder needed by both the versions. So i need to keep the common folder till both the versions are removed from the machine.My problem is that i can't install both the versions at the same time, i.e i have to uninstall the installed version and then install the other version. After installing one version, if i try to install another version, an overwrite error comes up. is there any option in dpkg for overwrite? Or is there any way to partially uninstall a deb package?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a set of bash scripts that I'm running that automatically build a set of packages for me and redirect their output into logs. Basically, I have a bunch of lines that are something like this: ${CONFIGURE_DIR}/configure &> ${LOG_DIR}/log or cd ${CONFIGURE_DIR} && make &> ${LOG_DIR}/log, etc.
This is supposed to make the entire process silent. However, sometimes with some packages some output leaks to my console (either stdout or stderr). I'm thinking that maybe the configure scripts/make are executing commands within new shell instances that don't inherit my redirect, or something to that effect.
Another reason for thinking this is that in another part of my script I detect errors when running make by testing with "if [ $? -ne 0 ]", and if the redirect leaks to my console and also the leaked output indicates that the build failed ("make: Error" and so on), then my $? test fails (i.e., it thinks that $? == 0, whereas a failed make should return a non-zero value). It's as if my original script can't "see" the results from child commands executed from later scripts.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in love with my Opensuse 11.2. Love my KDE 4.4. The only thing I miss from my Ubuntu installation, is the ability to use Boxee. I would be more than willing to compile Boxee from source. I only have 2 problems with that:
1) I don't know where I can find all the build-deps or what they are for that matter to build Boxee.
2) I'm running on a Netbook. Yes, my measly Intel Atom is no fun for compiling and building.
What are my options/what can I do to get Boxee up and running on 11.2? I've tried searching on build service for an RPM, but I think due to legal restrictions, Boxee can't be on there.

Trying to install SW 13.1 (on DVD) on the following system: M/B Intel: DX38BT Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 - 2.66GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775 Memory Corsair Dual Channel 8192MB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory (4x2048MB) Graphics Diamond Radeon HD 3850 Video Card - Viper, 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 P/S Ultra 1000W
My goal is to install the i386 build on one partition and the 64-bit build on another. I have been away from Linux for a while and am sick to death of Win7, want to come home. :-}
Booted on i386 side of DVD, system freezes after a couple of lines that start with ATA2. Does not respond to 3 finger salute, ctrl-c, nothing. Have to press reset. I have tried both huge.s and hugesmp.s kernels
Booted on 64-bit side, comes up fine. I performed the install, selected for automatic lilo install. Lilo install hung but I was able to reboot. I booted off the 64-bit side again, entered the following: huge.s root=/dev/sde3 rdinit= ro It booted fully to the login prompt but the keyboard does not work, no input.
I'm looking to run an iptv station for my dorm. I know I can serve multicast so that's not a problem. The station will serve out podcasts and other cc licensed content. The target endpoint is xbmc- a media center. So far I know that I need to serve an rtp stream over udp that's streaming an mpeg-4 avc main or high profile with aac ( or ac3 ?) audio. I've had some luck using vlc with vlm to stream but it seems limited. What are my other options? Everything has to run on Linux- hopefully open source. How can I use playlists and not live streams? What are my software options?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a netbook with a maximum screen resolution of 1024x600. I'm running a dualboot Ubuntu10.10 & Backtrack4r2, and I'm having some trouble with windows whose "height" was larger than 600px. Buttons end up below the screen, and I can't click 'Ok' or 'Cancel' or 'Apply'.
When my OS was still Windows7, I didn't have any problems because I can resize all of the windows that I use. Most of windows in linux (esp. in KDE settings), the windows has a fixed height.
Is there any workarounds to my problem?
I love the look of FreeNAS, but it does'nt do print server!
Must Have:
Run off a USB Flash Drive
File share with Windows (I want to backup to it)
Be a print server to a laser printer (USB interface)
Be remotely controlled once it is setup(don't have a spare screen and it's going in a spare room/corner BUT I will need to use a GUI for setup)
Free (thats why I won't use Windows)
Run OK on a P3
Preferred:
Power management
Wireless adapter compatible
today I decided to try and install Damn Small Linux 4.4.10 on a very old laptop. Unfortunately once installed, it refused to load the operating system. I am able to run DSL when I load it to RAM, but I am unable to install it to my harddrive correctly? The system on which I am trying to install it on is a Toshiba Tecra 550CDT.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm pensioning off my 10-years-old home server and replacing it with an Ubuntu 10.04 box. The two storage devices are a Western Digital Caviar Green 2.0TB HD and an Intel X25-M 34nm Gen 2 80GB SATA II 2.5inch SSD (the box has 8GB RAM and an i5 750, if it matters).
I don't care much about boot times (since I don't plan to reboot all that often;-); the main frequent, performance-demanding task will be (re)building large open source C or C++ software packages from sources (as an open source contributor, I do that often).
So, I thought I'd keep the SSD as the secondary drive and the HD as the primary one, using the SSD mostly for the files that can otherwise demand a lot of seeking (esp. in a parallel make).
However, the friendly vendor (perhaps more experienced in Windows systems than in Linux ones) thinks the "normal" way to configure the machine would be with the SSD as the primary drive. I'm pretty rusty on configuring and tuning systems, so, I thought I'd better double check on SuperUser.
hi: I just installed damn small linux on a Dell 233 Pentium w/ Toshiba CD-ROM XM 6102B, it works fine except for mounting CD's & Floppies (and I assume, although I haven't tried USB-Drives)
when logged in as root, and typing in
mount dev/cdrom
w/ a cd in a the drive
the answer is
no medium found
when using X mount floppy command,
w/ a floppy in the drive, I get:
Error: mount: relocation error: mount: undefined symbol: blkid_known_fstype
also, my cd-rom drive won't stay closed, which is really annoying,
