I just downloaded the unrar extension from the software center, and when I try to extract
a file from a rar archive unto my desktop,ays it extracted the file but nothinghappens.When I press on "Show the Files", it opens the folder which is supposed to contain the files, and they are not there
I'm trying to run extract-ikconfig because I've mistakenly deleted an old kernel config that I'd like to recover. However, when running the script from the latest (2.6.32.5) tree I run into this error:
Quote:
ERROR: Unable to extract kernel configuration information.
This kernel image may not have the config info.
Coincidentally, this happens with all of my kernel images. Is it a fixable problem? I should really set CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC next time..
I made a bzip2 file by
bzip2 -c /home/os/picture1 > /home/os/Desktop/pic.image
bzip2 -c /home/os/picture2 >> /home/os/Desktop/pic.image
But now extracting pic.image by bzip2 -d /home/os/Desktop/pic.image returns
bzip2: Can't guess original name for pic.image -- using pic.image.out
And then it just creates one file pic.image.out.
How do I access picture1 and picture2 from pic.image?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed unrar-free, and I am trying to extract a file from a .rar archive (actually the file is split into several archives).
When I choose one of the .rar files and open it with Archive Manager, there are no errors and the file to be extracted shows in the Archive Manager window. I then choose to extract it, and after that I click on "show files". But when the folder supposedly containing the extracted file opens, the file isn't there.
Maybe relevant info:
I am running latest stable version of Ubuntu, as the user that was created during the Ubuntu installation. The files are in my "Downloads" folder, and the Archive Manager window says that the .rar file is read-only.
I am looking for a program to extract a single instrument (guitar) for the purpose of learning to play it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt drives me craxzy, and I can't find anything I can do about it.When I start a new app--say FireFox, and I return to the window I was in, as soon as each window loads it insists that IT should become the active window.This is a general issue with me--all window type OS's seem to do this, but what I want (and THAT is supposed to be what the computer will do 4 me--what I want!No matter what, I want the active window to remain the active window regardless of what other windows are doing--including newly opening windows. If I want to do something with a new window, I'll go there on my own.I'm often writing and want to research something so will open a browser window, but it takes time for the programs to load & during that time I usually want to continue with whatever I was doing until I finish the thought. As is, I'm reading or typing along, and suddenly the machine pops me into the newly opened window--a real pain,
Of course, if I could tell it to either become active or not depending upon how I call the program, or which program or which program is active, that would be perfect.I'm not sure where the fix might be, but since it's a desktop intee problem, I'm posting it hereBaring a solution, any suggestions as to where that kind of action originates
I love the Ubuntu launcher and am currently using it.However I was wondering if it'd be possible to have it stick to the left and not push back into the side.So when a program is maximized it doesn't go over the launcher.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Wine installed in ubuntu/Kubuntu Jaunty and I can play games like Roller Coaster Tycoon fine in it (it works great and has sound) but when I try to use my disk for Ear training (which is an .exe file) I can view/use the program perfectly except there is no sound, the disk works in the school computers so I know its not faulty, but the sound just doesn't work in Wine.
I changed the format in Wine to all the different Windows (Vista, XP, 2000, etc.) and the sound didn't work in them either, everything in Alsa mixer is turned up 100% and I've tested it with both my head phones and computer speakers, but theres never any sound.
whenever i oped an audio program, it doesn't work. for example in ardour it says, "JACK is running as another user".I think this is the problem for most of them.I searched for JACK and found a folder and it says the user's name is root.

I have this weird program: dns2tcpc (creates a dns tunnel). I would like it to run at startup. However, I found that the program doesn't work when backgrounded! EX: dns2tcpc -z dns.domain.com -l 8888 208.67.222.222 Works, and I can use SSH to port 8888. However, if I try to background it, like: dns2tcpc -z dns.domain.com -l 8888 208.67.222.222 & Then trying to connect to SSH won't get any response
Now, I know this is a bug in dns2tcpc, and I really don't feel like compiling it or anything (I may have to), so is there any way to "trick" an application into thinking it's running in the foreground (like typing the command from the terminal window)? (Bonus if no addition installation is required)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a weird/stupid question. How do you know what command would start an application after installing it, if the synaptic package name doesn't match?
For example google chrome and lmsensors. The first appears as Chrome in Synaptic and the second as lmsensors, but to run them you have to type google-chrome for the first and sensors for the second in the console to start them.
When I did locate sensors or locate chrome/chromium, nothing came up in the search that would hint me that I need to run those commands. I had to rely on a google search and look for someone else's answer. Is there a better way, one that I can figure it out on my own?

I had originally followed the advice at Mauriat Miranda's Fedora Nvidia Driver Install Guide [URL] for installing nvidia's display driver on my HP Pavilion system 64 bit running Fedora 11. I had used his first method which just installs the relevant kernel module kmod-nvidia from RPMFusion. He also suggested an alternate method: obtaining Nvidia's installer NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run and using that. I downloaded it from Nvidia, but I didn't run it.
I recently lost X. This had happened previously after a kernel upgrade, and I just used grub to boot an earlier kernel to recover X, and then installed the upgraded kernel module to fix the problem. But this time, being deeply involved in something else, I panicked slightly, and, using dumb terminal mode I ran the Nvidia installer. It asked me to make various choices and in response to my answers, it decided to compile a new kernel module. This recovered X, but I then compounded things by installing the updated kmod-nvidia.
I realized afterwards that using both methods might create some conflicts, but X seemed to run properly. (I can tell because graphics in the program Maple doesn't work properly with the default drivers provided by Fedora 11.) Since then, when I restart nvidia, I get.

I am installing a program on a server as a non-root user. Specifically it is tmux 1.5, but this should apply broadly to all locally installed program in my opinion (I mention the program name in case this problem ends up not being my own error).
The program requires me to install some dependent libraries (e.g. libevent and ncurses). So, I installed them both locally since I do not have root access
cd $HOME/library/installation/folder
DIR=$HOME/local
./configure --prefix=$DIR
#... make ... make install
[Code]....
Ok, so this installs the program without problems into $HOME/local/bin, but if I run the executable: $HOME/local/bin/tmux , I get the following error:
tmux: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It would seem to me that the program cannot find the desired libraries, but the file libevent-2.0.so.5 does indeed exist in $HOME/local/lib as specified in the configure options. I am wondering how I can get the program to recognize the installed library in order to run. I tried putting symbolic links in $HOME/lib, $HOME/bin, and $HOME/local/bin, but none of these worked.

I never had any problems extracting any rar files until about a month or so ago. Now I can't seem to extract ANY video file that has been rared. It is becoming a pain to have to boot into windows just to perform a 15 second task. I dont have any problems with any other files except video files. I get a 'CRC Failed' message. None of my searches have yielded any results. Does anybody know what is causing this problem and how to correct it? Or yet, why it just started happing? I'm using karmic, and was using p7zip-rar until the problem began. The I added unrar and unrar-free but that didn't make any difference.
