General :: Typed The Command As Sudo Apt-get Install Dosbox The Error Occured As E:couldnt Find The Package Dosbox?
Feb 6, 2010
when i was about to install turbo c using dosbox in ubuntu on the console i typed the commandas sudo apt-get install dosbox the error occured as E:couldnt find the package dosbox
I have the C drive were dosbox is mounted. I have 3 hard drives, C, D, and E. D I use for storage and quick refrence, E hd has all my games on it. I have figured out how to mount the 2nd hard drive. But dosbox doesn't recognize any directory other then the directory that dosbox is in.
I am attempting to setup and old BBSinside of DosBOXI've built one of the DosBOX Megabuilds, with the NE2000 patch.It uses libpcap in order to piggy back on top of the system's NIC. All of the dosbox side appears to be working.My system comes up, gets the MAC address i told it to use, i can load a packet driver in dosbox, all of that seems well and good. The issue, i think, is on the linux side. It's built on a Fedora 14 box. I'm getting the feeling that networking isnt getting out of the dosbox instance. Does it seem possible that fedora needs to have some config in place to link networking over to dosbox?
i'm running slackware 13.0. i've installed dosbox package and the installation process showed no errors,but now i cant find how to run dosbox in any of the menus or from terminal.
Trying to compile DOSbox version 0.70. Apparently this is the only version that can run Privateer flawlessly.Problem is, when I extract the source and try to './configure', I get an error that SDL 1.2 is not installed.

Can i mount the turboc permanantly throught dosbox, that means whenever i clicked dosbox,turboc starts automatically
I recently installed ubuntu on an external hdd. i tried turning on my laptop w/o the hdd connected and when it went to boot it gave me an error saying that it couldnt find grub. all i wanted to do was boot into windows 7. is there anyway to set it up so i can just boot off my main hdd for windows and use the bios and choose to boot off my external to boot grub and choose what i want to boot like say linux?
I have the current version of dosbox installed, and I'd like to install version .73 as well and have both installed simultaneously.Is this possible and how can I do this?
how do I create a launcher for an application using DosBox? I tried in Alacarte, but it does not show up. I did this both as root and as user.Disregard. It did create the launchers. It just put them in "Other" even though I told it to create them in "Internet" so they are there, but just not where I want them. That is okay since now I can add them to my favorites and put them in the order I want.
I guess I will like Gnome 3 better as I find tweaks to make it work like I want it to work. Still though, it is not nearly as user friendly as my heavily tweaked Gnome 2 with Compiz.Another question though: How do I get it to select and use a photo I want for the background instead of the stock images? It is annoying as all get-out to have the screen turn to grey rather than stay the way I want it. :
I have debian 5 installed on a laptop. I am trying to install maxthink on this computer (according to some people here it is the best software after slackware )I tried to install maxthink on wine (debian default) it complains about some version conflicts and finally gives an error'c:windowssystem32Tlist7.ocx' not being registered. tried dosbox.With dosbox while running the application it tells me that'this program cannot be run in dos mode'.After about a week of tweaking things I still have no solution
I am trying to mount dosbox on a share on a remote computer. I did it in Win XP without any troubles. In Ubuntu it does n't work.
First I made the map in media and connected the share. The share works fine, but I cann't mount DOSBOX. Then I put the share in the /home/user directory. Share works fine! But dosbox does not mount.
I am trying to run Dosbox on 9.10, and both the Software Centre isntallation, aswell as DBGL's included version of Dosbox load the splash screen, then promply quit. I have had success with previous ubuntu versions, and am wondering why I can't get any further on the new version?
I'm currently running openSuSE 11.4 (kde v 4.6.4), and after unlocking the mouse cursor from the DOSBox (v 0.74) window, none of the Plasma Desktop Widgets or Components will register mouse clicks until I reboot.
Is there something config-wise I might change to prevent this from happening, or is there an otherwise quick way to restart only plasma using the terminal? Yakuake still drops down, and works, fortunately, so doing this is not a problem.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that all of said applications were installed from openSuSE repos using YaST2.
I have installed CentOs as server and trying to run .exe(dos program) there. i have already installed dosbox and works on running the program. But the problem is how can i run that on network (i use windowsXp)? i store the program and data on CentOs server and the client program runs directly on server (client just create shortcut to network path). I misassumed if we install dosbox on centos it can work, but it didnt for network
i want to create a command that can be typed in any old terminal window that would display a message on screen for anyone who typed it. is this possible? i just want to do this for the randomness of it. and cuz i need to get used to messing with terminal windows.
for example i would like to have "rawr" setup as a command to display a message on screen in a popup window with an "Ok" button to close the popup. i googled it but all i came up with was creating commands to launch applications without having to type the full path/command. not what i'm looking for. thanks in advance!!!
If I use Dosbox in full screen mode, and then exit back to KDE, my desktop icons get shuffled around.I'm using the desktop folder view in KDE 4.4.3I've noticed that this also happens with ScummVM as well, so I think it's more a KDE issue?
tl;dr - sudo make -> operation not permitted, sudo chown -R 777 * -> operation not permitted on some of the files
I am trying to install a library. Sudo make is getting permission denied on file 1, while using regular make I am getting permission denied on file 2. I have noticed some of the directories in the library are under nobody:nogroup. I tried chown and sudo chown, both didn't work. Sudo chown got permission errors, while chown didn't change ALL the files. (operation not permitted once again) Tried sudo su, and working from there, that also did not work. (permission once again). Using lsattr returned "lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on".

This is my first linux install ever, so I have no idea what is going on. I hope I have enough information to get this figured out as soon as possible. I was bored with windows 7 and wanted to learn another operating system. I made a boot cd with openSuSE gnome. On the internal hard drive is my windows 7 boot system that i do not want to touch, and on the external 1tb hard drive, i'd like to partition 50 GB for openSuSE. If this is not possible i have another method, but i'd rather not use it (which is use my secondary 80 GiB hdd). When installing, I am getting the error, "Error occured while installing GRUB" Which shows the following:
I know there's a which command, that echoes the full name of a binary (e.g. which sh). However, I'm fairly sure there's a command that echoes the package that provides a particular binary. Is there such a command? If so, what is it? I'd like to be able to run this:
When I do 'sudo apt-get update' I get Sources Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.cs.umn.edu_ubuntu_dists_jaunty_universe_bin ary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
find /var/spool/mqueue -group abc -exec rm -rf {} ;Using above command , I delete all the files belong to group abc.Now the problem i face is that the this command gives error that some files are missing . And this error occur because after creating list of files, it pass that list to rm -rf but till that time sendmail process queue and some of files disapper from /var/spool/mqueue.
A day ago I finally got around to upgrading the PackageKit installation that had been sitting for a week and a half, so I found a new upgrade for sudo available - the one that gives the sudoreplay command, I forget which version number it is exactly. When I try to use the sudo command I get this notice in my terminal:Code:Can't open /var/db/sudo/me/1: Permission deniedI didn't get it before. What do I have to do to make it open? I'm using SELinux in enforcing mode if that helps.
I have a guy in my office who was using an old version of ubuntu and he tried upgrading to 10 but now he's getting grub error 17. I Google this and everyone suggests reinstalling grub starting with opening a shell and typing 'sudo grub'.
However, I get 'command not found' in response to that. I've tried looking for the location of grub so I could try 'sudo /sbin/grub' and such, but I don't see it anywhere.
Also, I'm using a version 9.10 Live CD at the moment because I can't find out how to disable the drmraid option on the version 10 CD (necessary to detect the hard drives which, although they are on a raid controller are not configured as an array but separate drives).
I am looking for gcc installation in CentOS 5.4. I cannot use yum install since not connected to internet. I tried to do sudo apt-get install build-essential but received the following error: sudo: apt-get: command not found How to install gcc in my Linix machine?
I was trying to create a partition on my hard drive on Linux using the GParted program. I noticed my hard drive had a key next to its name but could not find information regarding it online. I proceeded to unmount the drive and made 2 partitions. However, it game me an error saying it couldnt make the partitions. I turned my computer off thinking i would get back to trying tomorrow. Today i turn on my laptop and see the usual hp screen. But after that it goes to a black screen with a blinking underscore looking thing. It goes nowhere from there. It usually goes to a black screen after the hp logo, that says GRUB loading.
