General :: How To Install JDK Manually From Downloads Directory
Apr 7, 2011
I 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
nuwan@nuwan-laptop:~/Downloads$ ./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
I was trying to install a program and then I tried to mv comman (which I probably did wrong) but to make it short I am pretty sure I deleted the directory. I made another Downloads directory using mkdir but whenever I download anything now I have no idea where it goes.
I download cs 1.6 and when i click double on it it says:
Archive: /home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe [/home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe or /home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe.ZIP, period.
I can't believe I am trying to make my computer better with this o.s. and I cant install anything I can't unrar files I'm down.
I would like to have both os's to use the same directory for documents, musics, downloads, etc on my home partition.I have a dual boot of moonos and xp.home folder patitionwindows sys partitionmoonos sys partitionbackup data partitionI would like to point both os's to either the home partition or data partition.
yum install libstdc++-docs doesn't work for me:No package libstdc++-docs available.So, I can only install it myself.I've found the C++ man pages here, how can I install it?I guess just put it under /usr/share/man/man3 will do the job, but I'm not sure.
How 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 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.
If you manually partition Ubuntu Linux; how much do you allot to your root directory? If someone installs many games and software, should they use a very large root directory such as 30GB or more?
I must be missing something. I have never had any trouble dl'ing the DVD's or Live CD's. Now they all dl to 99% and then stop. I started with my Win 7 box using Opera, then Seamonkey, then Seamonkey with Metalink agent then on an XP box using Opera then finally Ubuntu w/Firefox through vmware on the Win 7 box. I don't see any similar posts, is Cox just not letting them finish or am I missing some change that allowed me to complete them before & not now?
As I have had some problems using kpagager I've used file asociations to set yast as the default. When I download an rpm the yast icon bounces around for a while and then dies. I assume this means I need another set of yast launch instructions. Suppose I could download to a directory and set it as a repo but would rather just have it launch for rpms as it's quicker. 11.4 KDE 4.6.0
No matter what site I try to get a file from, when trying to download - let's say - a .pdf file, I get a dialog box that tells me that the file could not be saved,"because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator." This is on my laptop only, a clean install of Lucid Lynx, the files download fine on either of my desktop machines, each an earlier Ubuntu release. I'm using Firefox and cannot try another browser since I'm unable to download one. Can't seem to find anything relevant in the log files. What could be happening?
I was able to install opensuse 11.2 wihtout problems from LiveCD. After installation I noticed there is a cross in Network Connection. But in Live CD it's not there. I opended Network Manager and setp up my DSL Pppoe connecton and it's working. Hope this behaviour is normal ?I am little confused regarding software update. In Yast control centre:
1. Software repositories I will not have to touch default is ok ? 2. Just select Online Update and all the updates will be taken care 3. Is there any settings to avoid unnecessary software downloads
how 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?
Are there any .DEB downloads of Seamonkey out there? All I can find (at the site) are the source and the installer (as a gzip). I couldn't get it to install using the installer (even with the instructions in the readme), and I'd like to avoid compiling from source, because this is for a college course and I don't feel like I have time to worry about compiling.
(The course calls for an HTML editor, and Seamonkey is one of the suggested programs with an HTML editor.) Since I couldn't get the Linux version of Seamonkey to install from its installer (I think the error message was something about being unable to open a screen), the only solution I knew was to run Windows XP in Virtualbox and download/install/run the Windows version of Seamonkey from there.
i can download a 700mb.rar to get almost a gig worth of iso.... so i was wondering if anyone knows a site where they compress the iso to a rar or any other format so that i can save time downloading....
Why i recently tried downloading knoppix dvd when i reached 3.2gb of 3.6gb the downloaded ended i mean i cannot resume...
I just did a fresh install of 10.04 on my system and everything runs perfect and exremely smooth, however the update manager and firefox are taking forever to load (the progress meter reads something like 2d 17hr 23m), however the internet connection is very fast.the logs are all insanely clean with the fewest errors I've ever seen, so this shouldn't be too terribly difficult to solve. Also I seem to be having a problem with the font on Firefox, every fourth letter or so has a bright streak in it. Anyway, that might be related or not but my main concern right now is getting my download speed up to par?
Does the $ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree command always downloads the latest flash player plugin?Does it install for all currently installed browsers? Because it seems like it does.
During downloads, the top command shows the Firefox process at 100% CPU. Yesterday I tried to download an .iso image. After a few hours the Firefox window would not refresh nor would it respond to input. I tried the wget command. It used negligible CPU time and completed in 28 minutes.
This problem is easy to reproduce because it happens every time I download a file in Firefox. It also happens when I use a fresh profile to run Firefox without any extensions or plugins.
i can download but i cant run anything because there is no ar file path for ark. please dont tell me to download something to get the ar file path because if i download it i can't open it
I'm trying to run Audacity sound editor, which evidently is already installed according to YaST2, but wont show up 'till i run OpenSuse updates. However I don't know anything about these pid files that are locking sys management and obstructing me.
I get a page of rssfeed.php in my root dir, whenever i run it once more, there goes a new rssfeed.php.0, rssfeed. php.1...etc, the number increases. but all of them stays empty, is there a tag that avoids this?I am not sure which one to use on the man page, there is -o for output, but none for no output?
In a office network, how to queue incoming downloads and later, it will be scheduled by priority? Is there any such open source project /tool available? I have heard about squid proxy, but does it allow re scheduling ?
When I first installed Ubuntu to my computer I seen to remember a section in 'Places' that had Video. I have been trying to download video but cannot get anything to work and the 'Video' has disappeared from the 'places' section. Have I pushed a wrong button? what I need to do to download video from a camcorder or a DVD made from the camcorder.
