Ubuntu :: Replacing Binaries Did Not Work / Why Is So?
Jul 21, 2010
I am new to Linux. Thanks in advance for correcting my misunderstanding and answering.
I would like to modify the gdm for testing purpose. To get started, I first get the source code of gdm (using apt-get source, or download the latest version from official gdm website) and compile it without any modification. Then I replaced one of the binary file of gdm. However, it resulted in "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" error.
My questions are:
1. why simply replacing the binary did not work?
2. I think it is possible that the way I configure/compile the program wrongly. So, is there a way to know how those programs are compiled in the distribution?

I am running Ubuntu 64-bit and I downloaded a 32-bit binary. I tried to run it in the shell using ./file but zsh said that it did not exist. However it shows up in nautilus and ls. Is this supposed to happen?

I have no real LINUX system experience and therefore the company has tasked me to get a VMware Appliance running in which they can build their product.
The product runs on Red Hat 7.2. I have attempted many times to get Red Hat 7.2 installed on VMware player. It always fails when I get to Xwindows. I need Xwindows as the company is going to use NetBeans 6.9 for development.
I downloaded an Ubuntu 10.04 Appliance, which runs fine.
The idea is to build the product on the Ubuntu and run it on the Red Hat target.
All systems are x86 platforms.

Are there gcc and g++ binaries available for download anywhere? I can only seem to find sources, which I can't get to build (trying to upgrade to a newer compiler).

Ive looked and ive seen many tuts on how to do this but ive never seen a specific answer to my problem.
Specs:
-Kubuntu 11.04
Problem: every time i use KPackageKit to try to install something it always tries to install sun-java6-bin which is already installed. ive added repositories, ive used restricted-extras, ive done the update and installs in terminal. java works fine for me in the browser and for terminal commands. i have set sun-java6 as the default java and updated it again. the error code is: Code:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2. i dont know what to do. all my installations fail. and i cant do anything. i hope ive provided ample information.

I read in some website and thought of giving a shot at the pae enabled kernel as i was having 6GB of RAM available in my system. I couldn't use 64bit system because i have a lot of applications that are not available in 64bit. I use a few customised software (From my office corporate) they are 32bit too.
Here is what i did..
sudo install linux-generic-pae
It installed a few headers and packages additionally required.
and i did a reboot.
[Code]...
An alternate solution to use all the 6GB is also welcome... using the current pae enabled kernel. do i need to install any additiona drivers..While i try to load Xwindows.. I get the following error.A long error report is generated and at the end "No Xwindows system installed.."

I just got F14 installed on my pendrive with persistent data and I want to be able to play DVD's, .mp3, .avi etc. So of course I try to download vlc, but I have no internet connection on F14 and can't find any simple, non-RPMfusion way to download the binaries (I had an awful experience with the source a while ago). Does anyone know where I can get them?

I recently installed FC15. When I try to execute a binary file, it shows permission denied message even when I login with the root user through "su -" command. It also give me the same message when I try to run a python script. How can I execute binaries in FC15?

Looking for netpbm binaries for 686 Linux. Found the netpbm binaries to the gallery project, but they don't have the full netpbm library. I came across [URL] but I think that needs csh which I don't have.

I am trying to install a minimalistic centos 5.6 VM.I have pulled the necessary RPMs from the centos website, using the following command:
yumdownloader --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=CentOS-5.6-x86_64
--destdir=/tmp/transitRPMs/ --installroot=/tmp/transitRPMs/ --resolve kernel
vim-minimal wget yum dhclient grub rootfiles openssh-clients openssh-server sysklogd passwd star attr[code].....
I do not see any 32 bit packages in the /tmp/transitRPMS directory, which good, and that is is what I expected / want.I have also downloaded the repodata and images directory from one of the CENTOS mirros, from the 5.6 directory.I am using the netinstall CD to kickstart the VM and using my local HTTP repository , which I created using the RPMs pulled from the yumuploader command.When I try to install the VM, after the disks are formatted, the installer starts asking for missing i386 or i686 packages. This is happening in both interactive installs, where I select absolutely no package; and also in the kickstart installs, where I have specified @core for the packages. I am unable to understand this behaviour. It was not so in CENTOS 5.5 x86_64 bit. I do not want to install 32 bit packages on my 64 bit machine.

The program tripwire suggest a reinstall in single user mode before you set up its database. So you can be sure there is nothing scary on the computer to start with.I've tried doing this by a rather crude and direct method
Code:
for i in `cat /home/lugo/listOfInstalled.txt`; do apt-get install --reinstall --yes "$i"; done

I am a newbie in writing unix scripts: I have a file with a list of arguments like:
./a arg1 arg2 arg3
./b arg1 arg2 arg3
.
.
.
./n arg1 arg2 arg3
But these binaries (a,b,..etc) are in a different sub directory from where the above file is located. How do I write a script that will pick up each line from the file and execute it.

I need to debug "ls". I downloaded coreutils and compiled them in debug mode."ls" uses readdir() kernel API to fetch files/directories from a file system. readdir() fetch data from any file system (suppose FAT or ext3).I have debug version of FAT/ext3 and installed, I also have debug version of coreutils (ls) as well.Now I want to debug from "ls" to "FAT/ext3 readdir()".How to do that?

I'm trying to write a slackbuild for doing a slackware package from the binary distribution of scilab.org.If you want to test it, it's here
[URL]
there's also a slack64 package made from the slackbuild.to use the slackbuild you have to download your file distribution in the same folder from here [URL] and then you have to launch it like this
Code:
ARCH=x86_64 PKGTYPE=txz TAG=custom ./scilab.SlackBuild
available archs are i686 and x86_64
EDIT: edited build script to install things in /opt. updated package.

I have CentOS 5.5 running as a desktop, on Live USB with persistent overlay. It's been working great since January. However yesterday I noticed something strange. Almost all the binary files, including those under /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, and /usr/sbin, have been modified, compared to the originals in squashfs.img (I mounted squashfs.img and did a "diff -r" comparison). The timestamps all remain the same, but the sizes of the binary files have been increased by a typical 1 - 3 KB.
The system has never been updated, other than a few minor package installations via yum. It's running behind a firewall with no services except an SSH server on a non-standard port. Checks on log files etc. didn't find anything suspicious, and chkrootkit turned up nothing.

I am trying to build architecture specific binaries of gtk-sharp2. So far I have been unable to get gtk-sharp2 to build even without specifying a specific architecture. I got the source with apt-get source gtk-sharp2 and attempted ./configure, make, but it fails to build with the error message:
Code: Select allNo rule to make target 'thread.c', needed by 'thread.lo'.
I've also tried downloading the source directly from the mono project [URL] ...., but when building it fails with
Code: Select all#error "Only <glib.h> can be included directly."
This site [URL] .... provides a patch to fix the error, but when I applied it I got the same error.
I think the Debian version applied the patch correctly, but for some reason I still get that other error message.
These message outputted by configure may point to the problem:
"checking if gcc supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions... no"
"./configure: line 12920: enable_msi: command not found"

It seems strange to me that there are so few newsreader programs for Linux that are good for posting binaries, if they do it at all. For a community with such an ethos of sharing, there sure are a lot of "grab"-only newsreaders!
I have used newspost a lot in the past, but I encounter fatal errors when connecting through stunnel, as I now tend to do, and development seems to be dead with that program. Can anyone recommend any other program - console, X, whatever - that will post multipart binary files?

I installed an Oracle-provided RPM that installs a library, let's call it libUSEME1.0, into /usr/lib/oracle/yada/yada2/libUSEME.1.0. I then have an RPM (perl-DBD-Oracle) that depends on libraries from the Oracle-provided RPM. (For now, let's say it depends on libUSEME.1.0)
I then try to do both a 'rpm -ivh' and a 'yum localinstall', on that perl-DBD-Oracle RPM. However, yum still complains that this dependency is missing. The only semi-useful post I could find from Google shows that setting things like LD_PRELOAD won't change yum's mind - it still says the dependency is missing.
What is the proper way to demonstrate to yum that you have already installed a library on which an rpm (or package) depends?

I can install clamav from SBo no problem, but the version is outdated. I downloaded the newer source code from clamav's site, edited the slackbuild to reflect the new version number, and rebuilt the package. But I get this following error when building.
Config files are installed in the proper places (except the file /etc/clamd.conf.rej referred to below which doesn't exist). But the binaries clamd and freshclam aren't installed anywhere.
Code:
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/clamav-0.96.5/test'
Making all in clamdtop
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/clamav-0.96.5/clamdtop'

I'm wondering if anyone distributes mplayer, mencoder, and ffmpeg, up-to-date builds of each and their associated dependencies (x264, faac, xvid, etc).I had to compile all that stuff myself and fought with it, and finally got it working.
If no one distributes latest builds, then I was thinking of going further with what I've done to help others: virtualbox lenny and automated compiles of all packages and putting up the builds, with latest revisions of mplayer and ffmpeg from their source code repos. Using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to isolate the build so any modern linux can run the produced binaries, with only glibc as a dependency.
