i am unable to find suse distro for i386. can i install x86_64.
i installed rhel5 i386 working fine. but suse 11.3 i686 is not working so i am finding i386.
I'm trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 via 8.10 etc. When I run update manager, I get this:
W:Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to find expected entry universal/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?), E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
and then it closes. I've unselected all the third party packages and tried various servers, but no difference. I can wget the file, but when I look at it I see entries for "universe/binary-i386/Release", but nothing for "universal" .
I did the UPGRADE from Karmic Koala to Lucid, and everything was going well. But now I've been having problems with the UBUNTU UPDATE tool for the last 2 weeks. Every time I try to do an update check on the packages, I get the following message:Failed to fetch http:[url]....Release Unable to find expected entry deb-src/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.I've tried changing the servers to MAIN and others, and still no way to solve it. I've also checked for other posts, but haven't found a solution yet. Here's my SOURCES LIST (gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list)# See http:[url].... for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution.
I am trying to install real vnc for linux in open suse 11 and get next error:
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 needed by vnc-4.1.3-1.i386
I have tried to install the compat packages for libstdc that appears in "install software" but it does not work. tell me the exact package I need to run this application ?
Runing VMware Workstation 7.0.1-227600.i386.bundle in SUSE 11.4 post me an instruction installation for this. I have been trying so many tutorials and other numerous methods to sort this thing out. I'm so frustrated. And I'm totally a newbie to linux.

seems that this is not a sqhuashfs FS
what kind of file system could be?

The software use to work well here, but now I got this when I try to run it
sparky: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But I can not find it.
I also tried
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libtk8.4.so libtk.so.0
ln -s libtcl8.4.so libtcl.so.0
but this does not work neither.
I have a computer with internet access with amd64 architecture running Debian stable (Lenny). I have another computer with NO internet access with i386 architecture running Debian stable (Lenny).I want to download some packages for the i386 computer using the amd64 computer. So far, the only way I can see to do this is to use dpkg-architecture to temporarily change to i386 on the internet computer, run aptitude with the download-only option to retrieve the packages I need with all suitable dependencies, then switch the internet computer back over to amd64.
I can't imagine I'm the only person who ever needed to do this, and yet I've had no luck finding any advice. The method I described seems rather awkward - is there a more elegant solution?
I apologize to the membership, I realize now the absurdity of this subject. Having now studied the online repository search functions closer, I see it appears packages are automatically retrieved with all necessary dependencies. As such, it is not necessary to use apt and its various functions to do the job.

For this case I tried to modify the control.xml file in the root image for yast to hide the dialogs for language/keyboard layout, location and deskop choice (it will be a kde based distro). I can set the language, keyboard and location defaults correctly, but I couldn't get any success in disabling the regarding dialogs yet. And after all googeling and reading the available documentation I can't find a hint about the correct way to modify the control.xml this way.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have been using Linux for quite a while and have gotten pretty good at it, but recently I started using Backtrack in a VM and realized I have no idea what it is based on. Then I got to thinking I have no idea what that even means. For example, OSX is based on Darwin right, but what does that mean? Ubuntu is another that is based on Debian, but I don't know what that means.
The reason I'm asking is because in order to get my screen resolution and networking right in Backtrack I need to know what it is based on so I can download the proper packages to install the VirtualBox guest additions, and I have no idea. Is there a way to get this information from the operating system? Maybe uname -a is giving me the info and I just don't know where to look in the output?
Is there any easy way (i.e. command or file to view) to find out what distribution I am running? I know that my /etc/apt/sources.list has entries for stable, testing and unstable but I hear that (as of the 30th) "stable" has become Sarge. So if I performed an apt-get update then an apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday should I assume that I am now running Sarge?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been playing around with an old laptop and a hand full of Linux distros. I found that each Linux has a kernel "vmlinuz" and a initrd "initrd.gz" no matter how you boot the distro it uses these to files. I have CrunchBang Installed on my laptop I put a copy of the ubuntu live disk in the location
/home/user-pc/ubuntu/
I added a new boot option for grub It looks like this
Title Ubuntu
kernel /home/user-pc/ubuntu/casper/vmlinuz
initrd /home/user-pc/ubuntu/casper/initrd.gz
This boots like a normal cd only problem is while its booting it tells me it cant find the file System. This happened for every single Linux distro I tried to boot. Is there something I am missing here is there a way to tell the boot peramiter where the file system is I think what it means by file system is the "filesystem.squashfs" file.
I have 2 questions
1. Is there anyway to tell the grub loader that this is the file system. To make the live CD boot properly.
2. How do CD's work is it not the same?
I am trying to set up a minecraft server, but I have encountered problems. I have been using Ubuntu Server, but I can't get everything to work just right.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI loaded a distro (which does not seem relevant) onto my laptop and used it for a while. Applications did whatever they do creating and saving files. I know that I have images and documents and videos and music and such on the laptop among other non-distro data files. Is there a simple (straightforward) way to identify which files on disk are NOT part of the installed distro? I know how to use find. I know that find lets me locate files based on some date-time-stamp. I know, too, that I can use any selected file as a benchmark date-time instead of some specific command line string.
For example:
Code:
Find files whose modification date is before (or after) the date(s) associated with the file /path/foo.bar.
Is there any one file that I could use to peg the distro install date? Can I get that date from somewhere else like a file system details?
I am running the latest suse release downloaded directly from their website. I ran the installation after buring the dvd and everything seemed to be working fine. after the installation i ran updates and used it for a little bit. When i shut it down that night and went to restart it I got an error that stated the OS wasnt there. I then went through the installation and everything and it retained the information from the installation before (web history etc.) but for some reason every time I reboot or shut it down the system is not able to read the startup information from the hard drive and will not come on without me re installing it.
