I have jdk.rpm.bin package. When I run the command ./jdk.rpm.bin it extracts and automatically installs the package. I want to extract rpm package only and to install rpm myself not automatically.
View 2 RepliesIs there an easier way (without using a package manager) to upgrade programs? For example, I just want to upgrade Amarok. In order to do this, I've had to upgrade every one of it's dependencies because they've all had minor upgrades from the versions I already have installed.
Is there an easier way to compile programs and their dependencies manually or are package managers the only way?
Desperation has set in and hence you get to view a thread with this title. I think the title explains it all. Or, what can be done when packages are no longer available through the repository but installing them from RMP is boarder line crazy.

I recently downloaded vlc to my Linux OS distro Ubuntu 10.10. player, but am unable to skin it. I have dl'd several packages and they will not extract, even from root. Every time I attempt to extract the .vlt files from zip, I briefly see the extraction progress bar followed by this error: "An error occurred while extracting files."

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I manually install software that I download off the net? i.e. like when I download a tar.gz or .deb file that is not found in the repository- and want to install it. I tried the old Winders(Windows) way- unzipping and double-clicking (Only in private, of course)....but I guess as most of you know...that does not work in LINUX.
I read in the manual where it says something about adding things to the repos- but they apparently have to be .pps or .ppa files or some junk..So how does one install downloaded software manually in Ubuntu?
I've been playing around with various distributions including Arch Linux, openSuse, and Ubuntu with it's derivatives. So far, I feel that Ubuntu flows the best out of them all, offering the best mix of user-friendliness, eye-candy, and performance. HOWEVER, I really like doing things from the ground up and like having complete control over what I am using/spending resources on. OpenSuse was very attractive to me because of it's [URL]... which allows you to start with a basic system and add, manually, each and every package you want so you get exactly what you want. Does Ubuntu offer any system like this? Or, alternately, is there a "barebone" download in which you get basically a command line with networking and can apt-get all of the packages you want?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded the jdk-6u24-linux-i586.bin and gone through following steps.
nuwan@nuwan-laptop:~/Downloads$ sudo chmod +x jdk-6u24-linux-i586.bin

It works fine on me. These commands create a folder jdk1.6.0_24 in Downloads directory.
My Question is this. If I want to install packages manually.What is the best way to do it. Where should I put artifacts which generates after executing above commands. Another question, If I use sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk where does these downloaded packages are installed. I mean location. I have been using Ubuntu 9.10

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got file-roller, nautilus, and every nautilus extension I can find in aptitude. But I can't get the "extract here" option to appear when right-clicking on a zipped or tar.gz file. I am remembering wrong? I was sure I've seen that on a default setup, but this is my own gnome build up so i'm guessing I haven't installed or configured something correctly.

View 5 Replies View Relatedhow to update my system online (for example my firefox 3.0 to 3.5) but i can't figure out how this possibly works. I tried the "online update" using Yast2 but apparently (according to Yast) there is nothing at all to be patched on my system. I tried to click on the Firefox-3.5.5 rpm in the repository web-interface and open it using "install software" but the process aborts because of unresolved dependencies. Is there an easy way to update software without having to download/install every dependency manually?

Firefox informed me that I should get the latest version. I naively listened to that voice, and was taken to a download screen. I downloaded it. I was hoping for a self-installer, because I'm used to windows. It opened in KPackageKit, or something named similar. I extracted it to my documents, because frankly, I have no idea where to extract it to. Anywhere's I've looked says that most software comes as a package, which you can search for and install in YaST. I searched for "firefox", and nothing new came up. how to extract things to the right place/install them correctly with YaST?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to extract a config from a working kernel..that much was pretty easy..all ya gotta do is "cp /proc/config.gz ." which will put it in whatever directory you're currently in and then do a "gzip -d config.gz" to get the config file.
Now...after that it gets a bit tricky..Linus says you should never compile a kernel in /usr/src/ because those header files in ../include should never change. He says you should extract a new kernel gz in your home directory and compile it there. I tend to agree (who am I to argue?). Anyway..whereever your sources are this is where you need to copy the config file...
Like this...my home dir is "/home/dart". So I would put the kernel sources there under "/home/dart/linux". I would cd to /home/dart/linux and do "cp /proc/config.gz ." then "gzip -d config.gz" which should leave you with a file called "config", then "mv config .config"
Now here's where I run into a problem..when I do "make xconfig" I get this...

I wish to install debian on a number of boxes and have resolved on a network install. I'll first do a minimal install using the network install iso on a usb stick, then reboot and complete the installation using a local caching repo (apt-cacher) on the LAN. As a way of further minimizing bandwidth usage, I wonder if I could extract the .debs from a full installation cd and use them to populate the local repo?
