I have downloaded k3b-1.91.0rc2.tar.bz2 from sourceforge and extracted the file k3b-1.91.0 to the desktop. I need step by step instructions to complete the installation. I am not a new user to Ubuntu, but not very knowledgeable with terminal commands.
View 3 RepliesI installed karmic koala 9.10 via the wubi installer in a separate partition with windows 2000 being the original operating system. Now nothing boots. I use to get a 'missing ntldr' message but lately I just get a grub loading error: 'no such partition' then a 'grub rescue>' prompt and nothing else. I've tried the numerous help pages in order to see what is wrong but always get stuck when something they say to do doesn't work for me and then I don't know what to do next. I can run koala from the installation cd and can see the contents of both the linux and windows partitions. The grub folder is there too but I haven't been able to reinstall it. What I should be doing to get this drive to boot? I'm still at the stage that I require all the specifics details on *how* it should be done especially with command lines instructions.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI partitioned my hard drive on my computer with G-parted, the second partition (sda3) has data stored on it. I use to have Karmic Koala on sda1, but something went wrong and I want to install it back on sda1. How would I do this without losing my data on sda3? When I use the live disc, it want to install it onto sda3. I cannot figure out how to install it only on sda1.
Also, when I stored data, I want to store it on the sda3 partition. I already have on that partition a /jason file which was my old Karmic Koala.
Given that 10.04 fails to work on my old pc, where do i find installs of hardy heron (which i know works) or karmic koala (which may work).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've used Ubuntu just a couple of times, and I've Never performed the Installation. I've been a Windows user mostly.But I'm ready for a change. I would like to Install Linux on my Desktop & Netbook Computer.Problem is, how to go about it.On the Desktop, I'm not the only person using it, and while I'm all & ready to try Ubuntu (Specially since XP Broke 3 days ago and the Format is impending) The rest of the people using the PC aren't. On the Netbook, right now I can't since I'm working on something, and I'm worried about compatibility issues between Platforms.So I did some research on how to get both Platforms up and running, and I found Wubi. Seemed like a perfect way to start!However, I downloaded the client, and when Downloading the rest of the Installation software, It just took way too long!On ETA it marked 4 hours at first (sure enough, it took little more than that) but then it gave me a new ETA of 8 HOURS!
Is there any other way to download it? Other than the 1.6 Mb Client file? & For the Desktop. Since I'm formating the HD anyway, What steps should I follow to install both OS on it?
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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop on a system containing Windows XP and Slackware 12. This is my first experience with Ubuntu and Grub 2. During install, I requested "side by side" installation, and that seemed to proceed nicely until installation completed and I tried to boot On boot, all I see is:
[code]...
I've tried all the reinstall procedures at [URL]... to no avail. Once clue is that in the last chroot method, update-grub produces an error message: "Cannot find list of partitions!" I can see the partitions. Ubuntu can see them with fdisk, but Grub 2 can't? I'm about to eliminate the problem by using gravity to subject the computer to rapid deceleration from a 30 foot height.
I've been trying for a while to get Ubuntu to support Divx and so far I can't get it to install. I've tried getting it to run with Wine but it doesn't trust any executable file. I then tried using Ubuntu Software Centre to see if there is a Ubuntu version but so far I can't seem to get even that version to work. The main issue though is that it would be nice to be able to run software via Wine and I don't know why I can't figure that out lol.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install the latest version of K9copy, but the only available version is in the .tar.gz file package. I placed the folder on my desktop and extracted the files. Now I have the .tar.gz file and the extracted files on the desktop. I need to install the files, but I don't know which command to use or what to do to get any commands to work.
(Keep in mind that the extracted folder is named 'k9copy-2.3.4-Source.tar.gz')
./configure

make install
This seems to be the most common answer to install the files, but it NEVER works, nor do I understand where the package files come into play when I type this command into the terminal.
my lappy is 64bit...But I dont remember, So far I am using 32bit ubuntu.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have reloaded windows xp and now after installing ubuntu latest version, I get a boot menu that gives options. if I select the Ubuntu option, within a few seconds(2)the monitor shows "out of range"! However it is possible to get a command prompt from this menu,(Grub)by pressing "C" then Tab, which lists about 30 commands! But I cannot find what command will overide the ubuntu boot display setting! yet if it is possible in the disc boot F6 menu, then it follows that it must be possible in the hard disk boot menu? (ie nomodeset available on the disk F6, so using F6-nomodeset on the disk allows me to install or run from the disk, which then runs perfectly) Only I cannot make changes in the Ubuntu live that runs direct from the disk, to the installation on the hard drive. My Monitors Max is 75hz 1280x1024, LCD. And although not the latest model, Its still relatively current. Windows from the boot menu works fine.

checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no

I decided to see if I could update my Firefox install that comes with Crunchbang Linux (cut-down Ubuntu).
I followed the Mozilla instructions to the letter and the first thing I found was that I had missing files and or directories. With this in mind and thinking about it - I uninstalled my current Firefox with the Package manager.
I then followed the install instrcutions again but, this time telling the system where to find the .tar.bz2 file I donwloaded (version 3.6 from the mozilla site).
Everything appeared to extract and following the instructions for starting Firefox - I got version 3.0.17, exactly the same as I already had.
I admit that I am a bit confused on how to proceed with this.I currently have an older version of Ubuntu (6 something) and windows vista and I have dual booting. I am trying to install 10.04 on top of the older Ubuntu and I want to keep the Windows partition. Last time I tried, I completely screwed up.I have multiple partitions now with a bunch of smaller ones that got created by mistake. I would like to re-size my partitions to have 1 main windows partition, 1 linux partition and 1 swap file partition. My HD is 160GB and I would ideally like to have the Ubuntu and Windows partitions roughly the same size.I included some screenshots of the install process and also a screenshot of my partitions.

I am currently using Cent OS 5.4 and I was able to successfully install ns 2.34 on the machine and run a few test FTP simulations. The problem stems from the fact that the ns 2 installation used in the ATM simulation , in the link provided, uses ns2.1b7 or ns2.1b9.
I have tried to see if I could cheat and implement the patch for my ns2.34 installation but that failed flat out ( make failed with an incorrect parameter error) I then tried to download the older versions of ns that were used in the ATM Simulation, ns 2.1b9 and that failed too ( otcl make failed with g++ error) which i figured failed because I am using g++ version 4.1 . ( From the docuemntation, this particular version of the software had trouble with any g++ version > 3.2)
a) Is anyone aware of any ATM Simulation patch for the current version of ns i.e. ns 2.34?
b) Is there anyway I can confgure the patch for the ns2.1b9/7 version to work smoothly with the ns2.34 version I have installed?
c) What are the recommendations for me to install the ATM Simulation provided on the URL above.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a Dell 10v netbook and put Debian lenny on it. I got everything up and running, except that sound doesn't work. Two links I found said that the solution was to download alsa-drivers, alsa-lib, and alsa-util from the ALSA website and ./configure && make && make install:

Another source says this can be fixed on Etch by recompiling alsa from source:
[URL]
However, I'm running stable lenny, and I'd rather do things the "right" way instead of doing a regular make install. Is there a way to grab the binary packages from testing/unstable and install those without problems? If that's not possible, can I grab the source package from testing/unstable and use that? If that's not possible, can I download the source from ALSA's website and build a package myself?
A much older version of the program compiled against GTK 1.2 works on CentOS 5.3
A current version of the program, compiled against GTK2, works in Slackware 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3. But I have a failure (see below) in CentOS 5.3.
The GTK library for each dist is
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.800.20 for Slackware 12.1
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.9 for Slackware 12.2 and 12.3
and
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.4 under CentOS 5.3
I have had the software working on different versions of GTK as well but no longer that that version information available.
(Below) -- I believe I've narrowed it down to the function gtk_entry_set_text in some (but certainly not all) instances.
I could provide details, but I doubt they really matter. My best guess is that libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.4 is broken. So, I'd like to replace it without learning how to compile gtk from scratch or causing problems with the rest of CentOS.
