Ubuntu Installation :: How To Automatically Install Documentation
Jun 2, 2010
I'm used from Gentoo that the documentation (info-/man-pages) is installed by default (or at least it's possible to enable it by default for packages that don't do that). However I notice on my Ubuntu installation regularly that a lot of documentation is missing, for example info gcc gives me just the man-page of GCC and not the GCC manual, and for bison I don't get any info documentation.I'm aware that for these packages there are always *-doc packages, but most of the time I'm realizing that the documentation is missing when I'm offline, so there's no way to just install it then.

When I try to install something VIA Software center, there's always something else installing first. So, I chose the obvious thing, and ran sudo dpkg --configure -a. Here's what it fed me
Code:
joshua@joshua-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[sudo] password for joshua:
Setting up sun-java6-doc (6-15-1) ...
This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the JDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the archives:
jdk-6u10-docs.zip jdk-6u10-docs-ja.zip
(choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).
Please visit [URL] now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied
to /tmp. [Press RETURN to try again, 'no' + RETURN to abort]. I went to the website and couldn't find either file.

How to install either Fedora 11 or 12 from the hard disk of this old ragged laptop? USB or CD installation are not an option, and since the documentation keeps crashing and I stagger saliently in the messy script that is hid behind the windows interface runtime gimmick, I would like to know which switches would make the rebooting operation take to reckognizing the linux package?

i've been tryin to configure sendmail with cyrus to create a mail server that'll allow outlook users to connect to and download mails. I've done a lot of googling but so far no success have been able to configure sendmail with cyrus but can't connect the outlook to the server. I've come across certain documentation that says it requires to configure saslauthd. Is there any way i can create a mail server to which users can connect and download their mails. Shall i switch to postfix and dovecot instead? Is that easier?

I have 6GB of RAM and I'm planning to install Fedora 14 32-bit to achieve a higher degree of compatibility. Does fedora automatically download and install a PAE enabled kernel when it detects more than 4GB of RAM (Just like Ubuntu)?

Problem-PC automatically boots into a black screen with blinking cursor. No message or nothing
I have 4 HD. Primary drive has Windows Vista, Secondary no OS installed. Sata1 HD Ubuntu 10.04, Sata2 Windows 7. Prior to installing windows 7 all was perfect but once I did it, grub got all screwed up. The only way I can boot into grub is if I manually select my Sata1 which has Ubuntu on it and only then it allows me to select Linux or Windows OS. How can I change that so it can boot up normally as before? I'm assuming that grub was installed in the primary drive which has vista on it, but once I installed windows 7 it got deleted and when I tried reinstalling Ubuntu, the grub was not installed in the primary drive.

I'm running the netbook remix on my laptop and I really like the user interface. Particularly, maximus auto maximizing your windows. I've figured out that for the apps I don't want to maximize, I can add them to maximus' ignore list. But, with Chrome and a custom app that I'm writing, I want maximus to maximize the main window but not maximize any window that the application opens. The basic use case is when I click my delicious button in Chrome, I don't want the resulting window to be maximized. Is it possible to fine tune maximus this way? tl;dr - Is it possible to fine tune maximus to only maximize an application's main window but not the child windows? - Where can I find more detailed documentation on maximus?

I've been looking for documentation on the "Ubuntu way" of configuring IP alias addresses, especially in Ubuntu Server (servers being where IP alias addresses would tend to be used). I cannot find any documentation. It seems NetworkManager also runs on the server, and has no means to do IP alias addresses. I shut it down because it interferes with manually configured aliases (takes them back out or sometimes worse). But I am just wondering why all this is. I've had to modify startup/init scripts to get the aliasing working. That's not a problem for me since I have worked in Unix at that level for so long. But I would think there would be some standard way for Ubuntu Server (or any other) to do this. I just can't seem to find it.

I found a forum for Kaffeine but I wonder if there is actual documentation? Although I can play any video or stream with it, I do not understand many things like time shifting or program guide. There are config links in the menu but they really only have 2 or 3 options. Nothing about Kaffeine is explained. I would think that a program that works so well and is so popular would be documented.

I am having trouble getting grub to automatically boot into ubuntu server. When I turn on my server the grub menu shows up and shows me the choices. They all work fine except that grub wont automatically select one. This wouldn't be too much of a problem but this is a headless server and I can't boot into ubuntu without a keyboard. I tried looking through the grub 2 documentation but nothing seemed to work when I edited the conf file.

I installed openjdk-6 on my ubuntu 9.10 system along the the documentation package and some other, related packages that looked promising but I cannot figure out how to access and navigate the documentation. (This is veering out of the scope of this forum but I also cannot figure out whether I have SJSXP installed or how to acquire and install it in case I do not.) Would one of you be gracious enough to help me figure this out so that I can get started?

I've been attempting to install GEANT4 (a physics simulation program thing) however, I keep running into an issue. I've attempted to find answers within GEANT Documentation, but this seems to be experienced often by users, but not addressed within their documentation. Anyways, when I try to build it says I have installation errors, and the only one I can find within the output is this:
Code:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [/home/zach/geant4/geant4_9_4_b01/lib/Linux-g++/libG4FR.so] Error 1

How does one report bugs in the Ubuntu Documentation wiki? For instance, this page [URL] say there is a a tree entry /apps/gnome-system-tools/users yet I do not see any gnome-system-tools entry.It would be preferable that any Ubuntu documentation about gui related interface also list a how to do the change via command line, since that is more reliable than the ever changing gui stuff.

I am using LibreOffice under Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP, and trying to record some macros. I can find no documentation with for recording macros. There are some forum threads of individuals, but the replies all recommend external programs. LibreOffice has its own macro recorder, doesn't it? It is on the Tools menu, as in previous versions of OpenOffice, but "record macro" is blanked out. Is this because LibreOffice 3 can't do macros? I have no idea why an external program should be needed.

create documentation with screenshots that have stuff on them indicated with arrows, circles, highlighted areas and the likes. I attemped to use the Gimp for this, but found out the app is clrealy not intended for such use. Then I tried LibreOffice draw, but it seems page-orientated, saving a whole bunch of whitespace I don't want after I imported an image and put stuff on top of it. A few quick searches did not yield anything looking very promising. So I'm looking for image editing apps in which doing these kind of simple operations is trivial, or even apps geared towards such tasks.

Does anyone know where to get documentation for KPackageKit? I've searched on KDEs web site and this forum without success. Also on Fedora.org and googling but nothing so far.I recently loaded this distro (F13) to try it out after using mostly openSUSE and some of the minimal distros. I'm finding there is quite a learning curve, even I started in linux with RedHat 5.1.

I use OpenSuse 11.3 with Kde. I've downloaded some documentation of applications in .pdf and .html. I've installed it with yast and see it has been extracted to /usr/share/doc/... Is there any tool for indexing and searching for that documentation? Tried with khelpcenter, but only indexes KDE documentation.

So I need to make an IPsec vpn. I've been told to use Shrew Soft. But I'm completely lost on where to begin. I've gone trough the documentation and stuff but I have no idea what to do next.
I can't find anything on the site how to install or configure the shrewsoft shizzle. The only thing I could use is something about ipsec-tools because all the rest is using a graphical interface (which ofc I'm not seeing how I'm using a server edition).
