Ubuntu :: Check Which Versions Of An Application Are Installed?
Apr 22, 2011
Let's say that I've installed the following versions of R on my computer.
R 2.10
R 2.11
R 2.12
Is there a bash command which can be used to getst of all versions which are installed.I've used dpkg --get-selections | grep r-base but that just return 'r-base' and i'd have no info on the version.
Like i'm curious what version of wine i have installed...What are my current ati drivers installed...If wine isn't 1.2 or 1.3 how do i update it from command line?really any insight into this process would help its not absolutely critical to know but i've been looking around and haven't found informationOr some references to good articles to become a command line guru would be cool as well.
I want to have 2 diffrent versions of a package installed at same time. This is the command i use "apt-get install myprogram=versionID" Problem is, that when i install the version i wanna add, it REPLACE it with the old I dont wanna replace, i wanna keep them both.
I want to build deb packages for two versions of same product that can be installed on the machine simultaneously. The source folder structure for both the packages have a common folder needed by both the versions. So i need to keep the common folder till both the versions are removed from the machine.My problem is that i can't install both the versions at the same time, i.e i have to uninstall the installed version and then install the other version. After installing one version, if i try to install another version, an overwrite error comes up. is there any option in dpkg for overwrite? Or is there any way to partially uninstall a deb package?
I have matlab installed on a network (I am not the administrator) and we usually start the program by typing "matlab", then choosing one of the version options from the menu i.e. typing "n". So because of this, trying to run matlab programs or commands directly like this... matlab -r ProgramName
...does not work. I just get the menu as usual and everything else is ignored. I assume the admin has overridden the matlab command with their own custom script. So my question is can I start a specific version of the program by specifying the folder that the version is in? I thought it might be something like /opt/matlab/version -r programname
this might look foolish, but I am a bit of a linux noob. Let me know if I should just ask my administrator but I thought there might be something easy I am missing.
I have this in sources.list: I ran the command to add the key before I tried to install. ## Opera web browser: #wget -O - [URL | apt-key add - deb [URL]
I get this warning when I agree to install Opera: Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] y WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!
Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security. You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that this is what you want to do. Opera
Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway? To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No":
I'd like to know if there is a script that can check and see if an application has been closed (I don't know a great deal about bash programming).I'm running an organ programme with this script.
/usr/bin/jackd -r -t5000 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p1024 -n2 -P & java -jar /home/user/jOrgan/jorgan.jar & jack-rack -s space space &
I wanted to check what version of GRUB I have installed. I went to terminal and typed grub --versionI got this message back: The program 'grub' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install grub
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 alongside windows xp pro. When I turn my pc on I have the option to boot to ubuntu or xp and at the top of the window it says that the version of grub running is "GNU GRUB Version 1.98+20100804-5Ubuntu-3" how I shold go about installing GRUB 2 or just leave it as is.
I'm trying to install libusb. I've downloaded a file from [URL]. I've unzipped the file; the folder's on my desktop. I've tried to install this, but I'm not sure how. Under installation it says: See the file 'INSTALL'. There are a few files that start with this term: INSTALL.libusb, INSTALL.libusb.in and install-sh. The first two appear to be the same, while the latter appears to be some sort of program.
When I double click it, I get a few options, including "run". I assumed this was the correct way to install the program, but when I hit run, nothing happens. I've displayed this file, but this gives me no additional information. I've tried running it in terminal: nothing. Maybe it has installed, and I just don't know it. How would I even check if it's installed? (I'm only installing libusb because I need it for something else).
I have backup_server and application_server.backup_server has directory AAA. I need to check from application serverthat is there any new files created today in the AAA dirctory. if yes, all files were created today or partial files?.
This has probably been answered elsewhere, but I could not see it - how can I check which version of Ubunbtu I have installed and whether it is 32 or 64 bit?
How do check the programs that the actual user of the computer installed. I do not care at all about the default programs that came with your distro of Linux, I only want the user installed programs.
1) How to check all installed modules in Ubuntu? 2) How to check whether I installed a specific module or not? For example, uhci_hcd ? 3) How to install a specific module?
I've just installed ubuntu 9.04 (had the disc from before) and I'm upgrading to 9.10 of course but I have a question. How do I check that I have the latest drivers installed for everything in my laptop? I'm the kind of person that has that nagging feeling in the back of my head telling me that everything isn't installed perfectly and I need to install my drivers properly (or at least ask).
I know with if statements in bash you can do Code: if [ $fruit = apple ] then echo "Good, I like Apples" fi But I was wondering if you could do something like this: Code: if [apt-cache pkgnames smbfs = smbfs doesn't exist] the apt-get install smbfs fi If so how would you capture the output from apt-cache pkgname smbfs to determine if it's installed?
After sifting through numerous apt-get apt-cache apt-file tutorials I still can't find a command to check if a package is installed via the terminal command/line.
I know there must be some way to do it.
Say I want to check if any package from the libavcodec*.deb family is installed how could I do this without a gui eg synaptic?
I'd love to know how to check the original configuration of a self-installed package? For example, I would like to install the package XXXXX. I did:
./configure make make install
After the installation, I would like to know what the configuration I used for XXXXX's installation. Maybe some dependencies (for example, A,B,C...) were not found so that XXXXX was installed without depending on A,B,C.... However, now, I would like XXXXX depend on A,B,C... How to check whether the current installed XXXXX's original configuration?
