my machine is a Compaq Prescario cq60 (amd 64bit).i have a problem with my ethernet card: the connection is very slow. my wireless has no issues.i cannot browse properly (eg cannot watch ..... videos), my torrent speed is at most 100 whereas with my wireless i got for the same torrent (almost at the same time) 300. (surprisingly, the ping to ubuntu.com is faster (~42ms) than the wireless(~48ms)).i had this problem in 10.04, and today i upgraded to 10.10 and the problem persists.
on the 9.?installation that i had about a year ago, i did not encounter any problems (also in my windows installation that i had some months ago).
I've installed several programs. Some installed and worked, some did not. I installed Konversation and Audacity. Both work fine. When I installed bitpim via RPM downloaded from bitpim.org it installed fine. It is not in the applications area. I type Alt+F2 and i start to type in bitpim (it types the rest) and press enter. nothing happens.
i installed PythonCard through the terminal using yum install PythonCard. It installed fine and it is not in applications and is nowhere to be found. However when I type yum install PythonCard again in the terminal it says it is up to date. So I removed it and reinstalled. Same problem.
I'm running fiirefox 4 on f14 and was prompted to install firefox 6 by the browser. Usually i download the gc.bz2 file, right click, extract it, run the terminal, cd into the folder, and once into the folder I run ./firefox.
I did that the first time and the new firefox was working fine, without my shortcuts or plugins installed in the new firefox. But the menu in applications still pointed to firefox 4. I tried something on the web to make firefox 6 the "default" browser but then Firefox 6 just completely disappeared. Even when I cd into the newly extracted "firefox" folder in "Downloads" it will still launch firefox 4.
So my question is how do u properly install a gc.bz2 file? Also how do u remove unwanted applications in the Applications menu? I currently have two firefox shortcuts and two chrome short cuts which each launch the same version of the software. When I right click on it nothing there says "remove shortcut" or anything. Also is there any way to move your favourites/shortcuts from ur old firefox to the new one? What's the propper way to do what i'm trying to do ?
I have tried to properly install sun-java5-jdk to prepare android build environment on dedicated virtual machine with Ubuntu 10.04 desktop x86 installation. The problem is that packages are not available in canonical repositories for lucid and install from sun packages does not work properly - i.e. for rpm there is a lot of missing dependencies and bin package just extracts directory tree without proper installation.
I know that sun java is deprectaed and we should use OpenJDK but even there are only repositories for JDK version 6 which is unsupported by android build environment.
Synaptic Package Manager command Force Version on JDK6 is inactive (for both open and sun) and I can not find any JDK 5 available for install.
What is the recommended method for Installing Software not in the Ubuntu Repository? I currently want dos2unix. I discovered from wiki that that dos2unix is supposed to be in the "tofrodos package". So then I checked the ubuntu repository.
[URL]
Then I did the usual "sudo apt-get install tofrodos". After I did this I discovered that for some unknown reason ubuntu removed dos2unix from the tofrodos package. How would you recommend that I get dos2unix now? Is there a way to use "sudo apt-get install tofrodos" with a repository name to use a different repository? I saw it was in the debian repository and I know ubuntu is based on debian. Could I use something like "sudo apt-get install tofrodos debian". Should I just go directly to the author's website and download it there?
I'm trying to install Adobe Air written for Ubuntu 11.04 [URL]. I downloaded it and have it saved in "downloads". I tried opening it with Synaptic, but it won't recognize it. My hope is to use Air to run a Windows program. Air drives the database.
The first problem is that I cannot use the Arch repository. Every time I try to, it brings up a "no address record" error. I have configured my network interface properly and can ping www.google.com and receive a whole load of crap. Definitely working. Whats wrong?
The second problem is that the boot-up process hangs for a very long time at "Starting Network." This make my boot of Arch just as slow as *buntu! WTF? Whats wrong there? Aside from that, I am unhappy that my Ethernet card is not detected but thats another question. The only ting I am pleased with right now is the speed of the system, and the fact that I used 4 different file systems on 7 different partitions without a hitch.
I need to run a program,OpenChrom, that requires a JRE of 1.6 or greater. The program runs as a standalone executable, no installation is indicated.
I used
Code:
And the installation appeared to go smoothly. I now have a folder: Code:
That looks like it has the whole JRE in it. However when I check my java version I get the following:
Code:
I found something on YoLinux that makes me think I need to tell my computer, or the shell, where to find Java. How do I do this? Needless to say openchrom does not run, it crashes after the splash screen.
Want to install new one from Medibuntu repository. I have issued command on [URL]
Is there a command which display the repository of given archive (which will be installed) ? I wan to ensure that future installed ffmpeg will be installed from Medibuntu and not from some other repository.
I was installing software I am getting the same problem as when I do this : su -c 'yum -y install yumex' Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: updates-testing. Please verify its path and try again
My problem is simple, iam runing ubuntu 8.04 (ebox 1.4) , i have installed and configured PPTPD server, i can connect and ping users perfectly. BUT i dont getting any gateway address, in my case i have to get IP address 172.16.0.1 (PPTP server address).I tried to change localIP in pptpd.conf to 0.0.0.0 ,or my remote(ISP) address but nothing.Can someone explain to me how can i manually assign gateway IP address to PPTPD Server ???
I'm trying to setup PPTPd on my dedicated server and the IP ranges i put the in the config have to exist in one of the network interfaces otherwise the connection wont work,I currently only have eth0 with the direct internet IP which i can't use for this purpose,I need a new NIC with a LAN IP for this and I have no clue.
I've just installed Debian and then installed the ATI driver to correct the resolution and to hopefully give me better performance, it seemed to give the opposite effect and has made my computer painfully slow and choppy.
I just set up Fedora14 on a PC in order to use it as an Amahi home server, but missed the step about adding the Amahi software repository during installation. I am looking for a way to add this repository.I found a support site that should show how to do this here:
[UR]
The first step is: 1. Create /etc/yum.repos.d/amahi.repo as root user I open a terminal, log in as root and enter "/etc/yum.repos.d/amahi.repo", and get the response No such file or directory.
1. Is post installation of the Amahi repository on a completely fresh Fedora14 a viable solution?
2. My experience with Linux/Fedora started yesterday evening - Is it possible to get a newbie proof explanation on how to perform the post installation?
So researching how to install Tomcat 6, I ran across a guide that specifically states there are issues with the repository version of Tomcat. Doing some more research it seems like this is reported in multiple places including a disussion on the official mailing list that was inconclusive. So my question is, if this is intended for a production server should I use the repository one or manually install it
GRUB has not updated properly for some reason, and now I am left with an un-bootable system. I would like to know how to re-install grub without needing to re-install Ubuntu.
I entered to gnome-art, picked 3 icon sets and downloaded them, then opened them with theme installer which installed them on the system. I pick 1 of them, the icons theme switch, but it switches to the gnome default icons. can't seem to find any solution to the situation.
I installed Fedora 12 and it said 500 software updates available. When I tried to install them I got this error message:

I completed an installation of Ubuntu 10.10 LTS 64-bit as a guest operating system on a VMWare server. Somehow during the installation process, I neglected to install a GUI desktop. I want to install the gnome desktop, but I am running into a series of errors similar to the one shown below:
Have a router running OpenSUSE 11.3. I have 3 interfaces eth0 192.168.0.0/24 - local network eth1 - The Internet if eth2 - Citynet
I have configured routing and it works. I can browse the Internet from local net. However, I want to connect to my workstation (192.168.0.3) from Citynet interface. I've made masquerading rule in Yast it works just fine like a proxy do (on 192.168.0.2 local server). Now I need to run VPN server in my local net to connect from Citynet interface, and I have problems with it. I've configured pptpd on the router and it work for local network and I have a vpn server under Windows on 192.168.0.2
So my questions are: 1. What do I need to do in yast to allow vpn (pptp) ftom eth2 to 192.168.0.2? 2. What do I need to do in yast to allow vpn on router? Some how I succeed to make redirection to 192.168.0.2 and it worked, but I've tried to change it to router and can't get it work again.
In all these cases client has the next message: pptp[109]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests pptp[109]: Connection terminated. pptp[109]: Modem hangu
I configured a PPTP server on Ubuntu 10.10. It works fine! Sort of. My MacBook running OS X 10.6 connects fine. But my iPhone can't seem to connect! The iPhone settings seem to be correct.
Here is the output of the Ubuntu syslog when I try to connect with the iPhone:
Currently I have the following configuration on pptpd.conf which allows 250 connections :localip 192.168.10.1remoteip 192.168.10.2-254connections 250I would like to increase the connections to 500 , so I need more remoteip , what is the correct format for defining more remoteip
When I run the command << kiwi-ltsp-setup -n >> the process gets to the point where it starts "Retrieving repository 'http:__download.opensuse.org_update_11.3' metadata" What do I change so that it will read from my local update repository. The local update repository is already listed in my yast repositories while the ttp:__download.opensuse.org_update_11.3 is not.
i reciently changed my repository to install adobe reader, i failed at installing it and managed to change my grub some how, now i can only boot into recovery mode.
