Ubuntu :: Can't Find Certain Installed Software (Ruby-full Or Docky)
Jun 18, 2011
I'm dual booting - windows7 and Ubuntu 11.04. I've found that I'm doing a lot less "dual'n" lately though. Compaq Presario Notebook. I've been installing new software and I've noticed that some of them are not showing up in the App list. I'm showing 92 when I've actually downloaded more. They aren't showing in the Installed Software either, but when I go into the center to make sure I did install it, it says installed. So, I'm guessing there is something simple I'm not familiar with yet to make these programs show up. I installed 7zip and couldn't find it either, however when I click on a zip file to unzip it, it does use this to unzip. I cannot find Ruby-full install or Docky. Plus several others.
but when I run "msfconsole", I got the following error messages telling me that ruby-openssl is not installed. I installed it "apt-get install libopenssl-ruby" but same message still comes again. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.
root@qa-ud910-32-1:/opt/metasploit3/msf3/external/ruby-lorcon2# msfconsole *** The ruby-openssl library is not installed, many features will be disabled! *** Examples: Meterpreter, SSL Sockets, SMB/NTLM Authentication, and more [-] ***
I've been using rubyripper quite happily on Karmic, now I've moved to Lucid and discovered a bit of an issue. rubyripper will pause for several minutes between tracks with ruby 1.8. If I upgrade to ruby 1.9.1 the gui client won't run due to an issue with libgtk2-ruby not being available for 1.9.1.
The cli version of rubyripper under 1.9.1 is blazingly fast, so that is what I'm using at the moment, but I do prefer the gui.
Anyone have any insight into this? Googling suggests there may be a bug in ruby 1.8.7 that caused the long pauses, but it was supposed to have been fixed in 1.8.7.249 i.e. the default Lucid version.
There are a few things not working properly. Ruby version manager seems ok but untill i get working with ruby i don't know if it is working properly. One thing that is not there is irb Interactive ruby is not available according the the message i get.
Well i have no idea what readline is but i did everything that is on that webpage referance page [url]. I have got a lot of progress and learned heaps about linux shell and bash terminal. The thing is i need to get this going and have tried feenode but it is very foreign and how it works i do not have a clue. I have got 2 things resolved so far through this forum but using other threads in it. i need to get irb going before i can progress to using ruby on Rails properly.
I am using a Eeepc running ubuntu easy peasy its version 9.04 of ubuntu. I need the whole of rails to work and want to get a handle on using ruby version manager along with the apache stack with mysql/phpmyadmin and am using this as a dummy run for setting up a development system.
I certainly do not want to install Elementary OS, and just want a similar interface. I already installed docky, but Unity gets in the way. Is there a way I can disable that? Also, can I hide the docky application icon on Docky? Or is there a better way to do this?
does anyone know where to find the full Ubuntu source code all i can find is the kernel source. if any knows where to get the full source code for any major Linux distribution could they let me know.
Is there a command to know " From where a specific RPM package was downloaded & installed ( The full HTTP/FTP path ) " ? For example, if I had previously installed Firefox from here [URL] is there a specific rpm query, or any other place, from where I can get the full ftp path back.
I have an HP ProLiant DL560 server with Debian 6.0 installed and cannot figure out how to get the fans to run at anything except high. I have searched google and this site, but cannot find anything that works on Debian 6; the SLES packages will install, but don't do anything.
Server Specs: HP ProLiant DL560 4x Intel Xeon 2.20GHz processors 6GB RAM 2x 72.8GB 15k rpm SCSI HDDs (Raid 1) 2x power supply
I finally bought marble blast gold. a very cool game. i was able to run it on my mac perfectly fine. but now when i install in on my ubuntu machine its not doing what its supposed to. i did a ./MarbleBlastGold 1.4.1.sh.bin after doing the sudo -i command. it installs just fine. but when i go to run the game, i cant find it in the menus. thats ok, i have commend line experience. so i cd to the install folder, and run a ./marbleblastgold, and this is the error i get. so what can i do, and what does this mean? good thing i bought it for all my computers. one copy of course.
I have just installed " partimage" partition imaging - I want to perform a FULL system back up - problem is I cannot find where this programme is sitting to be able to perform my back up .
I need to make some configuration changes to an ftp server running on Ubuntu server 10.04. I don't know which ftp server program is installed, so I don't know where to look for the config files. I know that some server is installed because I can connect to it
How can I determine which ftp server is installed?
Toshiba Satellite laptop, Ubuntu 10.04lts I installed qcad earlier today, using Software Center. Qcad didn't show up anywhere in the Applications dropdown menu. When I was running 9.04, it showed up in the Graphics sub-menu, but it's nowhere. Rebooted, nothing. It shows up as installed in the Synaptic Package Manager, but I went ahead and removed and installed it again, rebooting between each operation. (sigh) Still nothing. Now, I'm sure it's in here, but I can't find it. So, I have three questions: 1. How do I start it (or any program) using command line? 2. How do I find it using my Gnome gui, and put it in the applications menu and 3. Generally, is there a guide that will explain what I'm looking at when I open my File System directory?
I have installed SAFECOPY & TESTDISK using Synaptic manager. after installation I can't find the applications in the menu, I am trying to use them. where to find these applications?

I installed glipper 1.0-1.1 on my Ubuntu 9.10, and cannot find a way to execute it. I don't see it in the Applications menu, glipper command from the command line doesn't work.
I'm playing with my hard drive partitions and trying out different O/S versions so I want Grub2 to be aware of them on its boot menu. Currently I'm using the maintainer's version of Grub2 that came with karmic. Do I have to do a re-install of Grub2 or is there a makefile I can use? Specific commands that I would need be nice.
Just bought a new accounting program BasicBooks - on the install instructions (Gibberish to me) I apparently must have Postgres installed, which apparently comes with most distros. I can't find a reference to Postgres - there should be an entry in 'System Settings --> Server Settings --> Services from the main system menu', which I cannot find. Nor can I find it in the Ubuntu software centre. I did find pgAdmin III but have no idea how this works either.
getting this message when trying to install XP."Setup did not find any HD installed in your computer." I have Ubuntu installed on another partition so it makes no sense that XP doesn't recognize my HD.
I have just installed the package monodevelop on Ubuntu 10.4 and wanted to try it out.I'm a long-time .NET developer using Visual Studio 2005/2008 on Windows so I'm familiar with the concepts.I created a new Gtk# project in MonoDevelop, but the empty project already won't compile because almost all referenced assemblies are missing. Here's the build error messages:

I have installed several applications on my Powerbook running lucid, but when I click the "applications" menu, many of them do not appear on the list. They show in the software install/remove application.
I am a beginner Ubuntu 9.10 user. I downloaded and installed the latest version of the sun VirtualBox. My problem is I cannot find where it is installed and that's why I could not run it. Generally, when I install a program the shortcut appears in the menu "Applications->ClassOfInstalledFile". But Virtual Box did not appear. How to find the icon, or simply how to run this application and have a shortcut of it on the "Applications" menu?
On windows I installed the iscsi initiator which tells me my pc id. Then I take that id and put it in my storage which automatically gives me my extra disk. How can I find out the id assigned to my ubuntu pc?
I am trying to compile an android project, which requires GCC-4.3(mandatory, GCC-4.4 doesn't work). So I downgraded the gcc-4.4 on my ubuntu 10.04 to gcc-4.3.
But then the compiling process doesn't work. It says: cc: command not found make: *** [...] error 127
It's weird that the shell can't find 'cc' while I do have gcc-4.3 installed. I've tried type the following command: export CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.3" but I don't know what's it for.
I am new to Linux but i am a fast learner ...! Well, i've been trying lately to get my v4l recognized and well supported tv tuner to work with gv4l http://gv4l.sourceforge.net/. I've already installed transcode http://www.transcoding.org/ and gv4l via source! All with no errors except one major fluke ...! When i am trying to open gv4l a message pops up saying that transcode can't be found or it's not in the programs known path ... I really need to get gv4l working for tv capture needs cause it supports scheduled captures too without having to get along with mythtv that goes a long way from my purposes...! Is anyone familiar with this kind of problem ?? Any ideas about what i am missing or what i should do ?
