Ubuntu Installation :: File Roller Seems Picky With Rar's?
Jun 17, 2010
i've just installed a program with wine and it's all fine but I need the crack(not sure if it will run but anyway) it's in a .rar file Fileroller extracted the main "notmentionforlegal.exe" but not the crack for some reason
I was messing with Openbox, LXDE, and Pekwm a couple days ago to see if I liked any of them, but I ended up coming back to gnome.
But it seems that, somehow, some of my preferred apps settings got wiped during this process.
The most annoying one, is I have no default application for archives (zip, tar.gz, etc). I can tell Ubuntu to "Open With..." and that works... but it doesn't stick.
How can I return this back to normal Ubuntu behavior?
UPDATE: It appears that nearly ALL my preferred application settings are gone. Pretty much everything except couple filetypes show up with the standard "file" icon and won't open unless I use "open with".
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and I started to have a kind of annoying problem with file-roller. I do not know what I attempted to unpack or pack form my USB HDD a couple of days ago, but when I did I got a message from the archive manager, the message was: "Could not create the archive, Archive type not supported." Well, I just shrugged, and continued doing whatever I was doing, but later I noticed that whenever I tried to open the HDD for whatever reason from "PLACES" in the main panel, I was getting the same error message over and over again.
It is not produced when I open the HDD from the Desktop link in my Desktop, that link will open the HDD with no problems. But if I try to access the HDD from "PLACES" in the main panel I will always get the same error message. Ok, what have I tried: since the archive manager window shows the "file-roller" logo in the menu button, I assumed that file roller is stuck with the previous process for which it produced an error, therefore I tried to "kill" any pending processes by several ways: Login-off, re-starting and turning the computer off.
That did not worked. Whenever I attempted to open the HDD from "PLACES" the same error "Could not create the archive, Archive type not supported." will return. Assuming that nautilus was stuck with the process I tried to kill any pending processes by using Alt+F2 and trying to kill the pending nautilus process using: ps -e | grep nautilus and then the command kill {####}
That did not worked either. I was tired and uninstalled "file-roller" using the software manager, this solved the problem. But I actually use "file-roller" so I re-install the program and the problem returned. I tried to uninstall the program using synaptic manager using the "Mark for complete removal" option, uninstall, re-install and the problem was there. I uninstalled all the other recommended packages that were installed along with "file-roller" using synaptics and then just tried to install "file-roller" alone, the problem is still here.
Then I thought it was a problem related to the HDD. So I went ahead and re-formatted it using the EXT4 file system with no partitions. Re-booted and the problem is still here. Whatever process I started with "file-roller" or one of its companion pkgs is still active somewhere, I believe is "alive" in the system's HDD, because it returns after a complete uninstall/reboot/install process. I do not want to mess with "nautilus" itself, Do I need to uninstall/reinstall "nautilus-data" pkg?

hy I can't make a 7z archive with file roller? I have already installed p7zip, p7zip-plugins, and 7za. I don't understand what the problem is. I can make a 7z archive from the command line with no problems. I keep getting this message but it doesn't tell me what the error is. Quote:An error occurred while adding files to the archive.
find file-roller (aka 'Archive Manager') in xubuntu's Applications menu. I surely have it; it is the default application for opening archives, I can invoke it from the terminal but I can't just... run it from the Applications drop-down.I even tried the Application Finder with no luck using the keywords file-roller, archive, file, roller, .zip. .tar, etc. No luck.Can anyone else find it on their Applications dropdown menu? Or at least tell me that they can't find it either?I'm curious if I have some configuration glitch, or if this is a bug, or maybe there's just something in the water here.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and i can browse our network's windows xp shared folders properly using nautilus. The problem is if i double click a file on the network shared folder, (ie. a .doc file) its opened by file-roller and not Openoffice writer. i've tried changing open with in properties to ooo writer but it still opens with file roller. What can I do to open a file properly on the windows shared folder.
As my exploration through Fedora is going quite well (and due to recent problems that I haven't been able to fix in Ubuntu, it's drawing me to Fedora even more), I still have another small question. I listen to basslover.de constantly, and when I click on the Windows Media Player button to start that stream, Totem starts getting picky about my connection. We have two wireless networks (for a specific reason), and whenever I pick the faster router, Totem happily plays, but refuses to play on the slower one. I know it's not an internet problem because I can play from either network in Ubuntu, and I also updated my wireless in Fedora with a new set of madwifi drivers. Is this something I can fix?
EDIT: Also, if this isn't clear, Totem is playing the stream inside Firefox. EDIT 2: Hmm, strange. It suddenly worked on the slower connection if I changed DHCP settings to Manual and then gave in details along with the Google Public DNS servers. However, this works in Ubuntu while on DHCP.
I recently moved to Beijing and am having trouble with my apartment's wireless setup. My laptop can connect to any wireless network I find out in Beijing but not our home network. My Roommate has a mac laptop and has no issues connecting to our wireless router. It appears to connect but receive no signal, which is frustrating me to no end. Here is my spec list and the model of wireless router we are using.
I have tried using wine, but I get an error. The box is titled ijxlpplpeksrmrmiihmxmpkzav. The box reads command line option syntax error type Command/?
I am trying to install roller coaster tycoon three
I just got my hands on an old RollerMouse from work. [URL] It's pretty neat, however I think it would be killer if I could remap the roller (which is just a mouse) to function like a two-way scroll-wheel, and maybe the buttons as special shortcuts. Does anyone know if this can be done? I figured it's not a standard part of anything, so I'll at least have to make some script or changes to a driver, but I have no idea where to start..
there are number of threads floating on installation of ns2..however i am unable to get it on my 64 bit system ns: error while loading shared libraries: libotcl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I was looking to download "America's Army" and was doing alright until I hit a slight snag, It had an error while loading libgtk1.2, so I scoured the Internet for a way to fix this and the find command I found just told me it couldn't find the package, this is the first error I got when I tried to uncompress the "America's Army" version I downloaded:
/home/zac/.setup3597: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: can not open shared object file: No such file or directory.
After upgrading from 10.4 to 10.10, the Ubuntu Software Center refused to start, and I got an icon in the notification area saying that "a problem occurred when checking for the updates." When I run software-center in the terminal, I get this error message:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 88, in <module> from softwarecenter.app import SoftwareCenterApp File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/app.py", line 32, in <module>

I've tried re-installing apt and all related packages, even dpkg, and even downloaded the apt package directly from the ubuntu web site, but no matter what I do, I can't run these things. Aptitude and apt-get seem to work fine.
I'm new to Ubuntu . With windows when you install a app it creates a folder in the drive:c under programs : Where is the install folder on Ubuntu ? AND ' with windows ' there is an exe file ' what type of file is like the exe file''' to run ? or the path to run the app ?
I created an Ubuntu 10.4 iso with the kickstart cfg on it, trying to boot it with the ks=/cdrom/pathtoconfig (tried even ks=cdrom:/path) parameter in VirtualBox but it refuses to load the file and just launches the generic install.
I just completed the ubuntu 10.04 installation using the windows' installer.After the installation, the system reboot. I chose "ubuntu" from the OS selection screen.A message appeared that the system would verify the installation parameters.
Suddently, a message was shown: "no main file system chosen. Please solve this error from the partition menu." And it wouldn't continue!
how can I find the partition menu and set the file system for the ubuntu?? An idea would be to enter the installation cd for windows (as if I would wanted to format the pc)...wouldn't then the partition menu appear?
I am having difficulty installing Ubuntu on a new PC. Hardware is thus:MB: ASUS M4N68T-MCPU AMD Phenom II 3.2 GHzMem: Kingston 2GB DDR3-1800HDD: Seagate Barracuda 80 GB SATAvideo is on-board, cannot find the details regarding chipset.I have tried both 7.10 and 10.10 (would prefer to use 7.10) but both versions hang at the same point during installation.Live mode works fine on both versions.Tried burning 7.10 to CD at 4x write speed.Set MB bios "Plug and Play OS" to yes.When it hangs, the mouse freezes, then the video wigs out (think Van Gogh on acid) and only a hard power down will un-freeze it.
So I go add remove find AC (assault Cube) and install it.Try to start in Apps games Ac it says I need the most recent version.Go to AC website Get version download the tar.bz2 file extract the tar.bz2 file it leaves me with this I will attach a pic of it,
Ive installed about 50+ boxes with ubuntu/mint/fedora/etc but f15 is giving me a real headache...
I tried a fresh install over f14 with this drive (sdb, sda is my backup disk)
Installed obviously in part7
After rebooting (successful copied live image on hdd)
Code:
After another couple of installs (with lvm & w/o lvm) & even disconnecting the second harddrive -> same issue
Typing 'ls' in the rescue grub prompt returns
Code:
Cant 'ls /' into a single them - unknown filesystem (grub is installed in mbr of sdb) 'linux rescue' (wanted to try manual grub installation) command didnt work either.
Now again on fedora 14, same installation procedure, works fine. (and i wont bother doing a full distro upgrade from f14)
I have attempted to download and burn the fedora 13 i386 installation DVD twice, however, both DVDs that I burned failed during installation. I verified the .iso before burn and the dvd before installation and in both cases they were fine. But during installation, I received error messages that some random .rpm file could not be found (for each attempt it was different). All other configuration went fine, this only happened after the final package selection and when the actual installation starts.
EDIT: I am burning the DVD on my mac book pro using disk utility but performing the installation on a Toshiba Satellite.
On choosing the desired partition, where I wish to install Ubuntu, screen asks to choose the "File System" from the drop-down menu.How to decide on which one to choose from?What's the implication of choosing EXT4 over EXT3?**Point= Iam now fed up with 10.04 release since it is crippled with sporadic issues like --"Shaking Screen on Desktop load" & an abrupt "Screen Blackout"..Now I wish to roll-back to 9.04 again, the ONLY release of Ubuntu that worked "Perfectly" for me without posing any nuisance
I'm trying to install ClientAccess. I just installed Ubuntu a couple days ago. There is a "setup5250.bin" file. I go to the directory it's in in Terminal. I run the command "sudo chmod +x setup.bin", and some other variations. It asks for the sudo password, and I enter it. Then it gives me:
chmod: cannot access 'setup5250.bin': No such file or directory
When I do ls or dir, it shows the file in the directory.
I recently had to update my HDD since I needed more space . Hence I backed up my old 20 GB Linux HDD using the DD command and created a 20 GB IMG file. I used this IMG file to be transffer to a 100 GB partition , however it just used 20 GB on this partition as well ! IE only 20 GB of space is available on the new 100 GB HDD !
