Ubuntu :: Install Software From A Deb File Or Try To Find Software In The Software Center?
Jun 21, 2011
One problem is that whenever i try to install software from a deb file or try to find software in the ubuntu software center, installing from a seperate file just opens up U.S.C and when i try to find software from the software center it just sits there and searches.My other problem is that when i try to edit files in my etc or just in my main file system im only aloud to read, not edit, and i cant change the file permissions, but im the only user, and i have admin rights, why cant i edit files.
So I've downloaded a few random things using the software center but I cant seem to find them? The main one I want to access is installed but cant I find/access it. I downloaded a application finder but that hasn't helped at all? So how / where can I find them? Do I use the Terminal?
Very recently, I installed 10.04 on a laptop with the 'Try it' option. After installation, I installed Skype - I'm not sure if it was from the Software Center or via apt-get. Today, I installed 10.04 as a full installation on my desktop. The laptop shows Skype in the software center, and apt-cache search skype shows "skype - VOIP and instant messaging client", but the desktop doesn't show it anywhere.
When I look for install of Libre Office I find a download on the Libre site with a list of install files that are longer than the reach of my patience.
I can't find it in Software Center. Shouldn't it be there?
I just burned a live CD from SimplyMepis-CD_8.0.12-rel_32.iso. All went well, but I can't find the installation center so that I can fully install it om my computer. I can login with demo or root, but I don't know where or how to set up my machine.
I recently managed to install it on a PC alongside Windows XP (seperate hard disk's). Anyways I downloaded AVG 8.5.732 (avg85flx-r732-a3168.i386.deb) and installed the package (Synaptic Package Manager lists it as being installed) but I can't find in the Ubuntu Software Centre nor can I find it in the system/main menu list.
I installed fbpanel with sudo aptitude install fbpanel, but I can't find the config file. according to the readme it's suppose to be under ~/.config/fbpanel/default, but it's not there. Where else can it be? I did a whereis fbpanel and it's located in a few areas, but no default config file is there!
I recently had an issue with the Network Manager Applet 0.8, and Indicator Applet 0.3.7 (applets were locked to panel and disappeared for no obvious reason could not get them back using add to panel or looking in applications, places, or system). I removed said applets using Ubuntu Software Center and reinstalled. Where do I find the reinstalled software (applets) so I can add it back to panel?
I'm getting this error trying to install Live GNOME 32bit v11.3 or 11.4 build 11:
Code: Couldn't find Live image configuration file
I'm installing from a USB stick. I can install v11.2 the same way no problem. USB stick created using SUSE Studio Image Writer and Win32DiskImager give same results.
Today i download cheops source code and when i type ./configure returns me this error :
Quote: checking for gnome-config... no checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install Is there any way to install cheops in KDE ? Do you know any solution for this problem ?
just installed ubuntu on my laptop (msi gt640) and, whilst attempting to install something from the software center, get an error. in full, it is: There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.Under Details, it states:

first of all i am a super noob to Ubuntu and i have always used windows as my OS but for some reason i try to install the app be it games or any other program it wont install nothing pops up to have me inter my password to start installing or anything
Is it possible to configure Ubuntu to allow a user to only install from the software center and not gain any other admin privileges? I have enabled dpkg, apt-get and synaptic through visudo and I can install from there but the software center still prompts for my admin user's password. Just to be clear: it is not prompting me for the user's sudo password but for the password of the account that was created during installation.
I basically want to let users install anything they like through the package managers but not do any other root stuff (like sudo rm -rf /).
I have install the Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop . i need some help with partitioning the HDD . coz i didn't partition HDD from beginning it's now 1 partition .

- And is there any way to sync my PDA WM6.5 to Ubuntu .

When I try to install an application using the software center it simply does nothing when I click install. The following is the output in terminal when I click install -
Code: jeff@sager-ubuntu:~$ software-center WARNING:root:No styling hints for Raleigh were found... using Human hints .....

So apparently I've got a broken dependency and Ubuntu can't handle it itself. This is the error message I get when it fails to repair. Unpacking dockmanager (from .../dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/dockmanager/data/skype_dnd.svg', which is also in package faenza-icon-theme 0.8

How can I go about fixing this? I can't use the software center until the error is cleared.... :[
I can get update manager and some application from the software center to work, but several of them show a "no Internet connection" pop-up followed by "check your Internet connection". If it's any help some of the application that will not install, I tried first to install from playdeb. In addition, playdeb seemed to have issues when I tried to setup installation for it. I can't even get application to install from their website either.
I've just upgraded to 11.04 and loving it but, now I can't add any apps through Ubuntu Software Center. I select an app and then click Install. After that, I get this:
An unhandable error occured There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon. The software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks.
Then this window pops up:
System program problem detected Do you want to report the problem now?
Now, when I choose to report the problem, I get another window:
the program "aptd" closed unexpectedly. I tried to use
