I'm trying to install git (git-scm.com) from source. I need apt to recognize that it's installed, so I figured I would install it using the checkinstall program.
I followed the steps listed in the following thread: [URL].. Unfortunately, I'm getting some errors. I wondering if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong. Full log:
Code:
$ wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.3.2.tar.bz2
$ tar xf git-1.7.3.2.tar.bz2
$ cd git-1.7.3.2
$ make prefix=/usr/local
I recently installed a few packages from source using checkinstall (notably x264). Today, when my normal synaptic/apt-get upgrade ran, it wanted to to overwrite the (newer) version I installed with the (older) version in the repos.Is there any way to have synaptic/apt ignore packages installed via checkinstall so that they aren't overwritten?
There is a nice package wxCam that used to be included in the opensuse (last one was, I think 10.3). Or perhaps I am wrong and it was from the Packman repo. Who maintains these packages?
I installed it from source and it must have ended up installing about 200MB of dependencies and dependencies of dependencies. I am not knowledgeable enough to create an rpm (checkinstall does not seem to be able to create an rpm).
I ran into this bug: [URL]...I checked that overwrite-local was set to 1. So I want to delete all python packages that were installed by checkinstall with the /usr prefix.
Now it has been some time since I did this and I dont really remember. Does anyone using checkinstall know how to spot packages installed via checkinstall? I already checked the FAQ and doc of checkinstall, but no info on this.
I used checkinstall in fedora4 to make a rpm packed.The rpm pack is ok.When I used:
rpm -i xxxx.rpm to install the pack is ok. But when I used: rpm -e xxx to uninstall the pack didn't report error.But not uninstall. In my make file that checkinstall used is like this: install: FORCE
I am trying, using checkinstall to make eboard to enable use of this program with a DGT electronic chessboard (option not available in the program included in the repositories) according to the instructions given here. After the preliminaries, namely downloading and extracting the source from: [URL]-1.1.1.tar.bz2./configure runs fine but (after su-ing to root), both make install & checkinstall fail after numerous warnings about "deprecated conversion" like:
Code:
board.cc:55: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' board.cc:157: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' board.cc: In function 'gboolean board_expose_event(GtkWidget*, GdkEventExpose*, void*)': board.cc:1414: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' bugpane.cc:304: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
So installing a programm is a problem. I like to install Aqualung. "/.configure" works. But "make" seems to be not installed. "checkinstall" seems to be not installed "sudo apt-get make" does not work. I have no internet connection with linux, because I have no idea how I install the network card. I guess this sudo command use internet? Is there another way to compile that program? (And just by the way, why must this be so difficult?
I am trying to install a ubuntu server to serve sites. More than one, so Ill use Apache VirtualHost.When installing ubuntu server ask me about installing DNS Server? do i need it?

I made the mistake of eagerly adopting 10.04 as soon as it came out; and while 10.04 itself is running really well (I'm writing to you from it now), my 9.10 install (which, before you ask, I didn't install over!) has gone wrong! I'm a bit of a Ubuntu noob, so I don't know exactly what's gone wrong. All I really know for sure is that it comes up with an error while trying to run up giving me the option (amongst others) to run in 'low graphics mode' - but unfortunately this just brings me to a console, and the other options (I think they're to use a previous working version, or reconfigure) don't seem to work at all.
Is there a way from the command line to just reinstall all the gui bits? Is that going to mess up my install even further? As it stands, I'm stuck at just copying my stuff off my 9.10 partition into 10.04 (which granted, isn't the end of the world).
I am making a pc for the scouts to use as an media pc, i wanted to install windows xp because everyone had to connect their stuff and everyone has to beable to use it.
the problem is this; I got an official windows Xp cd but when i select in the bios to boot from cd it still just starts linux, how do i instal xp?
installing 11.04 on a netbook. I have the .iso but I do not have a spare usb. When I go into startup disk creator it does not allow me to place the iso on a non empty external drive. Is there another way to install 11.04 on the netbook and wipe off windows?
So I decided, mostly out of desire for hipster-cred, to try and install DWM. I now have the entry titled dwm on my session manager before i log-in, but when i select it, i'm just brought to the default Gnome 2.X session.
anyone installed a tiling window manager successfully and want to share their knowledge?
I use an Acer Aspire One netbook for work, with Ubuntu 10.10, and am very happy with it. Unfortunately, I now have to use certain music teaching resources for which I have to have Windows. I have a copy of XP Pro, and want to load it as a dual boot if that is possible. I have searched on Google, but everything seems to relate to loading Ubuntu after XP, rather than vice versa.
I recently got a Creative Zen Mosaic EZ100 MP3 player, however when I dock it to my computer and try to install it by clicking the 'set-up.exe' file in the Starter Pack folder, Archive manager gives me this message/Command Line output:
Wondered if there are some settings I need to tweak somewhere or something a bit more involved.
I need to reinstall Network Manager Applet (the actual app I believe is called network-manager) from the Ubuntu installation CD but fiddling around in Synaptic for awhile and using an official guide the application doesn't appear to be available as an installable package from the CD.
I'm trying to install SoundTracker from was wondering how to go about doing it. So far I've only installed things from Synaptic and when I googled about CVS all it came up with were instructions on installing my own CVS server which I don't want to do.install this software and explain how it is done so I have less trouble in the future?
Well I'm an apple person. So naturally when I heard about hackintoshing I took it. Buying several HP minis and installing OS X on them. Thank god for iDeneb 1.3! Anyway, to the topic. I wanted to triple boot OS X, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04. The HP Mini 110 will be my play toy.Now, I partitioned it as followed and have successfully installed OS X and Windows 7. ANd have a partition for Ubuntu.
*Mac OS Extended Journaled - Mac OS X 10.5.5 (soon updating) - 20Gb *NFTS - Windows 7 Ultimate - 16Gb *FAT32 - FOR UBUNTU - 10Gb *FAT32 - Data Partition - 100Gb aprox.
Is it possible to install Launchy on 64-bit Ubuntu? The only deb package provided is an i386 which gave me "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'" when I tried to install it.
Its open source, so I could compile it myself if I had instructions.
I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.10 on my system76 notebook as I was having problem after problem after upgrading. However, not having up to date software is a bit of a problem. How should I go about installing firefox 3.5 so I can have the most up to date version? Will I need to compile? Can I just install a .deb from karmic repos? Does the current version need removed first?
And there are several other pieces of software I want to stay current with, such as digiKam, but found it impossible because of dependency hell. Should I expect to be downloading tarballs and compiling any programs I want to upgrade past their stage in the 8.10 repos?
I'm in the process of installing UNR 9.04 on my machine, I already have Ubuntu 8.04 installed. I plan to replace the OS, will using the option during the installation 'use entire disk' delete my existing files?
This is my first time installing a GTK+2.0 theme. I downloaded the tarball containing the theme and then extracted it. When I extracted the tarball into a folder, it contained the following files:
I'm not sure if it's readable on some computers, but there are two folders within the main folder. They are labeled as gtk-2.0, metacity-1, and a notepad file called "ColorBit" which is the name of the the actual theme.
The notepad file has some writing in it, which reads:
I'm a web programmer and I used to do my stuff on Windows, but the first time I use Ubuntu and Kubuntu I fell in love with it. Now I'm using Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala on my machine. But I have a problem installing IE7 using Wine1.1.14. I need to install IE7 so I can test my web applications.
How GEBI installs stuff. is there an app that looks at the kind of file and extracts it AND installs it , all the different kinds of files like tar and others..
I noticed that many people, as well as me, want to install skype on 8.04. I found many tutorials with lots of dependences and terminal commands. So i found a better solution how to install.
1. Go to Skype's download site: Latest 2.1 version - click here
2. Download Static (5th type, little skype cube), i didn't test any others so maybe some of them work
3. Save .tar.bz2 (26,3 MB)
4. Extract
5. Open the folder and run Skype.exe
6. Done, just type your username and password
I'm using this version, i had no problems with chat and calling. Also options and pop-ups work.
