How do I install apps? I was following the instructions, but regardless of the app, the install button was shaded. I tried 5 completely unrelated apps wish no success. I'm running 9.10.
View 9 RepliesUbuntu 10.01 Lucid I had a few problems with applications failing to install properly with Synaptic Package Manager which resulted in a slew of launchers in my Applications > Other folder which all delivered error messages. These all had some kind of grey screen icon. I deleted them after uninstalling the applications which failed to install (wine 1.2, wine-gecko 1.2, then later wine 1.0, Wine-gecko 1.0, and winetricks.) I didn't notice that some non-wine applications also were given the grey-screen icon, and accidentally deleted "Archive Mounter." I know that I only deleted the launcher not the application, but don't know how to re-create the launcher in the Applications menu. Would someone...
1 - Right-click on the Applications panel,
2 - Select Edit Menus
3 - Find "Archive Mounter" (probably in "Other" folder)
4 - Select Properties for the launcher, look at the Properties sheet and tell me what the Archive Mounter command is, so I can re-create the launcher manually? And if you could, the path to the icon too
I've seen a few people are having this issue, so i wanted to start a main thread. My problem started... After installing qt4-designer onto my Ubuntu 9.10 Gnome OS, the fonts in certain applications looked distorted like enlarged bitmaps. I tried uninstalling designer, reinstalling components, using qt4-config to restore fonts, but nothing has fixed this issue.
The issue seems to be specific to KDE applications such as: qt4-config, Amarok v2.2.0, skype, akonaditray, ktorrent, etc. Also, in qt4-config it seems to be specific to fonts between the sizes 9 to 12 inclusive for all font faces. All other font sizes seem to be okay. I've attached some examples.
When i first tried to install qt4-designer, it indicated the following dependancies: fontconfig-config libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev When i try to remove fontconfig-config, it indicates that it is dependent on nearly every application in my system (including drivers and xscreen). Hence, I would need to uninstall everything and reinstall everything!?
I assume that this would be the correct place to put this, because codelite isapplication that you have to download via the Ubuntu Software center to get. But anyhow...I have been playing around with codelite for a little while nowand I wanted to use it for the purpose of learning how to script and write programs in Lua programming languageAccording to the program description it comes with the Lua support built in, but running it proves to me that it is solely a C++ application.
This isn't an extreme problem, though, I've read that Lua is supposed to be programmed through C++ anyhow. I am having only one problem that needs the attention. I ran through the code and got an error telling me that it could not find the #include files for Lua. A quick check of the /usr/include/ files showed me that there werendeed none in there.That being said, I went to the Lua website and downloaded the source and binaries *.tar.gz file, extracted it to a folder called "Lua." I am unable to move the #include files from inside its include folder to the main one on /usr/include/.
I have a feeling it is an administrator problem and that I need something involving the terminal or sudo to reach there. I have read around online, and they almost all say the same thing, telling me to navigate to the folder and "run make." I know what this is and how to do it, but it says that it cannot find the Makefile, which I have seen and know is in the folder, so it doesn't.Moving to the src folder within the Lua folder shows me that there is another Makefile, meaning that I have a second chance to make the files. I navigate to it, and then what do you know? Make works. Until the end, where I get a lot of errors and a termination of the process. Errors include Error 1 and Error 2, which I do not know what they are
I have Apache setup on localhost with a wiki, ethercalc, etherpad and kanboard.
Wiki is on port 80, in /var/www/html so when someone enters domain into browser it comes up, which is what I want. It comes up lightning fast.
Problem is how to properly direct to other ports i.e. 8000, 8002 and 9001 for other applications. All others are in /usr/share.
I tried creating directories with .htaccess for each in /var/www/html, but if they even come up (kanboard completely unreachable) they are super slow, drop connection and usually don't render completely.
I've read that if you have access to Apache configuration .htaccess is wrong way to go and for security reasons app files shouldn't be directly located in /var/www/html?
I feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up a large number of virtual machines, each with a basic set of about 30 applications. Obviously, I don't want to do everything manually so I'm looking for ways to automate this process. Multiple distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat Ent., FreeBSD, CentOS, etc.) will be used, meaning I will have a few Ubuntu installs with the basic set of 30 applications, and multiple Red Hat installs with the same set, etc. So, I'm looking for advice on automating as much of this as I can, even if it means a new form of automation for each distro.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy system configuration is: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz, 2Gb of RAM, Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT, Tv tuner Winfast PVR2000 XP Expert (autodetected according to the installer)
I never had a problem while installing openSUSE untill openSUSE 11.4.
All goes well while installing and configuring the network card, sound and even display(under nouveau). The problem is at the tv tuner. After i adjust some settings to it and pres OK so that the installer can save the settings all goes wrong. The installer freezes and i have to reboot the pc.
After repeating the configuration procedure and skiping this step, configuring the tv tuner using Yast this time, leads to the same thing: desktop freezes and i had to reboot because nothing is reponding anymore.
I have a desktop with a 640gb HD and a 2TB HD. I have windows 7 installed and a couple of other partitions. My 2nd HD, the 2TB drive is my F: drive. I want to create a 100GB partition for SuSE 11.4 abnd install it. however, during the install SuSE wants to shrink the volume and I don't want to use but 100GBH. What is the easiest way to properly install the OS? I am not real familiar with resizing and creating the root / , and swap etc.

And that's all i get. If i login i just get to do commands. I'm a first timer so I have no freaking idea what I'm doing wrong. I just want to get to desktop.
I am not totally new to Ubuntu I've been casually using it for a year now, most things I manage on my own but now I've hit a wall. Is there any one who knows how to get archicad 13 to install properly, it crashes during install, well it freezes. Or if there is some one there capable of making a playonlinux install *Tjingiimajig* that would be awesome.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit I tried to watch a video on Firefox through hulu.com and kept getting unresponsive script error upon the website showing up. On other occasions some websites would open up very slowly. So I went ahead and started looking up the problem on google, and found two areas where this may occur:
1.Google search toolbar or add-on in firefox which I cannot find how in the world to disable since it seems to come inside the firefox package (I tried edit-preferences-addon- its not listed). 2.Adobe Flash Player: I disabled it and the websites are no longer slow, but now I cannot watch the video on hulu.com which is the main reason why I opened firefox. So I went ahead and installed Adobe Flash again, but it doesn't seem to want to work. Gnash and the other program (I forgot the name) install properly on Firefox but Adobe Flash Player keeps giving me errors. This is one of them when I tried downloading and installing it from terminal:
Code:
Flash Plugin installed. nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so dpkg: error processing flashplugin-installer (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of flashplugin-nonfree: flashplugin-nonfree depends on flashplugin-installer; however:

Honestly I wish all the websites would make their flash videos more compatible with other program, but for time being the Flash Monopoly still continues. Anyways, any solution or possible work-around?
By the way, as some of you may know Adobe Flash player doesn't support Google chrome for Linux (chromium). I would really hate to have to switch to my Vista Hard Drive just to see a video on Firefox.
I have read several threads on the subject of installing rubyripper, and following the instructions seems to work for a while, but at the end of "sudo apt-get install rubyripper" or some variant like -gtk I get the return: "Couldn't find package rubyripper"
I have tried this through the Ubuntu software center, terminal, Synaptic, etc, and do not know anywhere else to go and look for it.
I downloaded this theme: [URL]. And I have gone through the installation for it, but the weather part of it isn't working.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to piece together a Linux workstation and I determined that the CD-Rom drive in the original box was bad. I replaced it with a known good CD-RW drive from an old HP Windows desktop. I know the drive is good, if I place a windows bootable CD in the drive and power up the system it boots. If I boot the workstation with no CD installed the old Red hat 9 boots from the HD. The PC is a 586 class and has 256 Mb of RAM and about 80 Gb of free drive space.
What I want to do is burn a CD with the latest Fedora distro so I can update the ancient Red Hat on this workstation, but short of finding someone else with a working CD-R or CD-RW what can I do?
The startup shows that the CD-RW mounts as a ro ISO9660. If I try to change the options to add rw I then get the error message "maybe you should try IDE-SCSI and use dev/sda". Will that work in this case? I never heard of IDE-SCSI combined.
Being a total beginner to linux, I can't seem to find a decent guide on how to install these drivers without much hassle, even though I've been searching for almost couple of hours now.

Now, I've installed the "default" (dunno if that would be the correct categorizing) driver with the "Hardware drivers" utility from System->Preferences->Hardware drivers because I've failed numerous times trying to install the package from nVidia site ; I would always get an error while trying to run the package :
"It seems that X server is running on your linux, please deactivate it to install this package" or something like that, but I'm sure it was about X running.

Is there any way you can install ventral and get it to work properly?
Maybe through wine or some other program that let's you connect to vent
I've recently switched over to Ubuntu 11.04. I installed Natty by wiping out Maverick entirely. Everything worked well, until I tried to install ATI graphics drivers through the instructions found here: [URL] The installation goes fine without any errors; however, when I reboot, nothing shows up on the screen. I can hear Ubuntu's startup sounds, but there are no visuals. When I attempt to go to the ATI Catalyst Control Center in Recovery Mode, I get this error:
Quote: There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling these drivers multiple times, and I've also tried using the generic driver detected by "Additional Drivers". None of these work at all, I cannot see anything on the screen when any ATI drivers are enabled. I've even tried re-updating Natty via CD, but none of this works. I have a Radeon HD 3450 graphics card, and my CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+. I'm on 64 bit Ubuntu. I had no problems with my drivers on Maverick.
How can I set up multipath to two devices properly? I'm sure that I need to do something more then just: /etc/init.d/multipathd start

how can i restart properly X and kde?
Use case: I've update my system, with some X and kde. I don't want to restart, so i go to vt1, login as root, and type "init 3". X and kde shutted down. After i type "init 5" to get back everything.
But if i logout vt1, X and kde are also gone. I know that's normal, but i want to start X and kde as they start on boot. It's the same with a normal account and "startx" or "startkde"
I am trying to get the Asus "My Cinema-U3100 Mini plus" DVB-T USB stick to work on my lucid 32bit with 2.6.32-27 kernel - with no great success so far. And this despite searching through forums and following the instructions given on [URL].
The USBID is in fact
Code:
ID 0b05:1779 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.
Which is exactly the one shown in the list of supported devices on LinuxTV. I have implemented all modifications and corrections to the source files as outlined in the above LinuxTVWiki instructions.
I also added the boot option
Code:
usbhid.quirks=0x0b05:0x1779:0x0004
to grub2 in order to overcome the (initial) problem of the tuner being recognised as a HID device.
My dmesg output after plugging in the device now shows

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a SATA boot disk with LILO installed. This disk is kinda like a recovery disk in that its supposed to boot up on any x86 PC. I'm however having trouble getting it to boot on a HP Probook laptop. I get the LILO 99 99 99 ... problem upon bootup.
I've already specified the linear option in my lilo.conf, which according to the LILO error codes might fix the problem but didn't.
Quote:
0x99: Invalid Second Stage
Mismatch between drive and BIOS geometry, or a bad map file. Some evidence that LINEAR needs to be set on the disk (see LiloNotes)
I've tried specifying the lba32 option instead, but get the same problem.
I've tried the solutions at this LILO Error Codes wiki, i.e. lilo -g and lilo -M /dev/sda
Neither solution worked.
Does anyone know how to get this working? Or recommend another BIOS independent boot loader? I was using nuni in the past for my IDE version, but nuni doesn't support SATA drives.
fyi I'm booting up the disk and running LILO on another laptop that boots it up, before plugging it into the Probook to test.
