Ubuntu :: Give The Package To Install Playonlinux?
Mar 21, 2010
ok i have no net connected to my linux nor can i get any net connected to it so ive tried to install play on linux but it says i needed li8ke 6 files so i got them but it keeps saying when i try to install "python-wxgtk2.8" it says i need 2 packages, this being one of them ive downloaded like 10 different versions of it and it keeps saying i need the exact same file can someone link me to the earliest or something so i can just get playonlinux if needed ill give more details when i get home bout to goto school
I have the CD game with the key, everything is legitimate. I am currently running Karmic (I can't upgrade to Lucid otherwise my wireless won't work!)
The installation according to the PlayOnLinux instructions seems to work well, but when I start the game it asks me for to insert the CD to proceed. Of course, the CD is already in.
There was a similar thread posted here more than 1 year ago, but it didn't seem to have resolution. I saw this: [url] and it looks like I'm supposed to install the No-CD patch in step 15, but I get an error message when I try. I am supposed to run that Play on Linux thing in step 15 from the terminal, right?
I started up Playonlinx, go down to the starcraft 2 option and click apply or install and all it does is freeze up every time. Last time I installed starcraft 2 just through wine I had some in game issues that made it non playable.
Yeah so I started up Playonlinx, go down to the starcraft 2 option and click apply or install and all it does is freeze up every time. Last time I installed starcraft 2 just through wine I had some in game issues that made it non playable.
i've installed playonlinux on my system ubuntu 10.04 , and it says that 3d acceleration aren't enabled , how can i do that , this is the output of : lspci | grep VGA VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
I currently run a dual boot system Windows Vista & Ubuntu, I am trying to use the Playonlinux application in the software center, for those who may not know what this is, it allows you to install windows application (ie games) on your linux system.. but im getting an error when installing software, it keeps saying that there is not enough space on my HD to install then shows me the current amount of HD space that is availible, its only saying i have about 7gigs free, but i have well over 200gigs free on my HD, Im guessing that Ubuntu made a partition to install on, and it didnt make it big enough. (Just my best guess) Is there a way i can increase this partition size? without having to reinstall? or am i just totally off track and should be trying something else!
When I try to download software on playonlinux the program just freezes, and the screen glazes over. The program I am trying to download is internet explorer 7. I have wine. Do I have to have the files already on the computer, or is playonlinux supposed to download them.
I used playonlinux for a manual install of a game that needs more than one cd. I can't eject to install the next cd in line. How do I unlock the drive? I'm now in the middle of installing.
Very happy with new 10.4 install, however there is a nagging password prompt every time I boot. At first I thought it was the wireless but I have that automated and it asks for the password well after the internet connection is established. I am pretty sure it relates to the passwords for Twitter, Facebook etc that I gave it to use the new tools in 10.4 Is there any way to give it permanent permision so it doesn't ask me at boot up? I would hate to have to stop using the nice new tool because of this.
I am installing ubuntu on a Dell m7750n machine that has the KSOD. I have done almost everything I can find to fix it. I was able to remove my data off of it using regedit....
So, I am sick of MS and found linux. I installed unbutu netbook on my netbook and it works like a charm.....
So, I went to install this on my desktop dell.... I have read of the many issue with this...
I was not able to boot from the CDlive as is. I kept getting a black screen with nothing. I then used the f6 to get into grub and then choose f6 to change the load options to load nomodeset and was able to load ubuntu from the drive, not install.
I would like to install ubuntu, but when I click on install from the 'tester' version it will not give me the option to install along side another OS (windows) that I see in the install ubuntu main website in the see how to do it.
I get two options: Erase and use entire disk Specify partitions manually (advanced)
Question: Can I install and select my own partitions using: [url]
Or, is there something wrong and I need to get that fixed before I install ubuntu?
I want to install CmapTools in my desktop, which runs v.10.04. I have downloaded the .bin file from their site.Is there a way to install it using Synaptic Package Manager?
I originally attempted to compile and install xmonad package by package, and the end result was this:
Code: $ xmonad /home/adx/.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Serial number of failed request: 7 Current serial number in output stream: 8 I figured I left out a flag on the make file or something, so I tried the slackbuild packages next; however, the same error was present at launch.
I can not install the glbic-common file cause it give me a conflicting error (the package is already install but it is somehow not recognize by the system)
Sometimes i have on some magazines or Internet Zip packages that are the answer of what i am looking for.
Wich tool and how can i do it? c Well, i am in position to say that i had downloaded from Internet or located the package in the Cd or DVD that comes with the magazine.
But now comes the big question. How can i put this package ( install) on my distro ???
Do i have to be a normal user or should it be root or su (superuser) ?
The packages that come with the distro is easy, because i select them and everything is done
As i told before, maybe this is a silly question, but i simple don't know how to install them and i need some of them to leave MS for good.
I seem to have is trying to get the internet to work. I can go to ..... ect but when I try to run playonlinux it says you do not seem to be connected to the internet, please post if you have anything useful, as I said I am very new to linux so be as detailed as possible.
I'm updating a working kickstart configuration.Got a good iso from it the last time used.I simply want to add 2 rpms to the installation. So I added the rpms (libganglia & libconfuse) into the ../Server directory. I added those two names to the %packages section in the .cfg file. And I added those two names into two new appropriate lines in the ../Server/repodata/comps.xml file.
I ran "createrepo -g repodata/comps.xml ." from the ../Server (rpms) directory. I then ran my "mkisofs" without issue, and used the resulting .iso. The message I get during installation is "You have specified the package 'libganglia' should be installed. This package does not exist. Would you like to continue or abort your installation?". I've tried several variations of the createrepo command.
i first noticed when i tried to get mono via sudo apt-get install mono i got the error
[Code]...
E: Package 'mono' has no installation candidate then i tried to get it through the software center and i noticed the software center wasn't opening.... so i tried searching to find if someone else had the proroblem, they did, one solution was to reinstall python but if i open syapitic software i get the error
I have searched everywhere for the error I am getting which pertains to "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" I came across this when I was trying to uninstall dovecot through apt. This is what I am doing:

# apt-get --purge remove dovecot Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done
Im not able to install the package mesa-32bit from this repository: Index of /repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.3. It tells me to make a huge change on architecture on many packages, plus downgrading mesa to 7.8.2 from 7.9 !
I am new to deb package. I have read some docs, but did not know how to specify the destination for to-be-installed files. For example, I want to install under user's home directory. How to specify that?
I have just visited this page here, Updating openSUSE - openSUSE I have been trying to update my OpenSuSE system for a week now and I have absolutely no idea what causes this problem. The update would start but would stop right in the middle and refuse to install some pulseaudio(...) package... It would indicate that network is down while I am sure it is up.
I am behind a proxy and I have again and again made sure that the proxy settings are correct and alright. Since it downloads some of the packages in the start I believe my connection and settings are OK. Maybe the SuSE server is down, but not for a whole week, I don't think so. I would also like to mention that I have only tried updating through YaST GUI and I am, as of yet, unaware of any console or command-line methods of updating.
I really would like to update my system because I happen to be paranoid in matters of computer security. (Just kidding) But since I cannot install any updates it should mean I might have problem installing new software. So my digital life is literally crippled because of this problem.
what is repository's ? do we need to install repository each time we install any package ?or cant we just say yum install package name ? & how to install tar.gz files ?
I downloaded the 6.06 version of xubuntu because i have a laptop that doesnt support high graphics mode, and i wasnt able to figure out how to get it to run in low graphics mode. i figured that i would get a version from a while back, and then update it up to the current version. now, to the problem. I was able to upgrade 6.10, but now it says Ubuntu version 8.04 available, so i tried to update it. it gets most of the way through the part where it says calculating or something like that, and then it says: "Can't install 'xubuntu-desktop' It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a bug." with an option that says close at the bottom. when i click close another window pops up that says: Could not calculate the upgrade A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport. Then the window just closes... anything that i could do to get rid of this problem? EDIT: Is there any way to update directly from an .iso file on the desktop?
Whilst I can manage the software centre and synaptic fine and add repositories etc I am at a loss as to what to do with a deb. I have downloaded Komodo Edit 5 software I am familiar with from work and like.
Its default on installation is to make a Komodo folder in my Home folder which I don' like. Am I correct in thinking that usr/local is the recommended location in the file system in which I should install downloaded packages such as this? During use I will want to change preferences in files etc from within the program, would this location restrict me from doing this without sudo.
When i want install some deb package, bash sending this error:
Code: Setting up alsa-driver-linuxant (1.0.20.3) ... Building modules for the 2.6.32-21-generic kernel, please wait... done. ERROR: Build failed. Please review the build log at /tmp/alsa-driver-linuxant.1665.log
I'm still trying to get comfortable with apt-get doing all my installing for me. The one question I have now is how do I find out where apt-get install "some_package" puts the package it installed for me?
