Ubuntu :: Install The Latest Version Of Itunes With Wine?
Feb 18, 2010
I tried to install the latest version of itunes with wine, which did not work. Now Itunes and friends (quicktime etc) wont uninstall. get rid of this malarkey? how to get itunes to run properly..
Ok so I have been using Ubuntu for a few months, but considering how I am a total noob at doing alot of things on it i wanna get some background info about a few things before I start screwing with it.1) On deviantart i see alot of people will totally customized desktops using something called GTK2, questions: how to get and how to use? (a nice tutorial page might help lol i cant seem to find it on google)
2) I have a computer running vista and I have Ubuntu installed onto it using Wubi. I am keeping the Windows because I need it to run the latest version of iTunes (unless wine can run it but I havent tried yet because my media folder is larger than the 30 gigs i have for ubuntu). I also want to keep my windows folders and Ubuntu folders completely seperate, so my question: is there a way to increase the partition size of Wubi to past 30 gigs? I have tried to use wubi-add-virtual-disk, but when i used it it successfully repartitioned but than i rebooted and it said that root.disk was missing and my entire Ubuntu was gone (lame i know). I also did all the recent updates from the update manager, but that shouldnt cause that problem should it?
2) a) lol if possible i would like to entirely create a new partition on my computer and install Ubuntu from there (simplifies alot of things), but i cant seem to shrink my existing hard drive... the max i can shrink is it 1.4 gigs. Does anyone know how to increase that space? (I have a 300 gig hard drive with 230 gigs free i wanna create a new partition with 210 gigs for ubuntu leaving windows with only 20 gigs of free space). I have looked at using Gparted to redo the partitions, but it destroys windows and I dont have a Vista reboot CD and cant get one cause i live in china o.o
Just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and fully updated .I tried to install itunes through wine and as you can guess it didn't work .What are my alternatives and will they still allow me to add and remove music form my I-pod because I'd rather not have to boot into my winblows partition just to update my music seeing as I've enough of winblows
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my husband's laptop. He insists that I install iTunes. Wine comes with the 10.04 release. I downloaded iTunes 9.2.1.5(32x) and it appeared to install ok. It said it was successful. However, immediately upon the 'installation successful' notification, another window popped up that said, "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
Whenever I try to open iTunes, this error message pops up. I used the WINE uninstall option for iTunes, however, the window pops up giving the option to either repair or uninstall, and when I click uninstall it appears to go through the process and even says it did - only to discover the fine print telling me that it "installed" the program sucessfully. This is very frustrating. I cannot seem to get the program to uninstall.
I found a thread that said to delete the files manually, but I don't know how to do this. I need to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it and make it work.
The latest in experimental is 1.1... the stable by upstream is 1.2 and the latest unstable is 1.3. So is there a repository where I can get the latest unstable automatically?
A month ago, my HP Mini 1035NR, with a Windows XP system died. Since then, it won't boot into Windows. I tried installing Ubuntu via a bootable USB with no luck. I have finally been able to create a working bootable USB running the Gnome version of Open Suse 11.3.
Aside from not picking up my ethernet connection to the Internet, my bigger issue is I can't install Open Suse from the USB. I get a message when I try to install that there may not be enough memory and it hangs at the section where you choose your time zone. I would like to install the latest version of Open Suse with KDE. Is there anything else I can do?
When I use apt-get to install Samba the latest version is 3.0.26??????. The current stable version is 3.4.5 and 3.5 is about ready to be released. Is there anywhere I can get a deb package any newer that the one in APT? or will I have to compile from source?
Code: git clone git://deadbeef.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/deadbeef/deadbeef. which gives me a deadbeef folder in my home folder with latest version therein next steps are
Code: ./autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install i installed automake all six versions in the synaptic as some are different as to what they can do
I tried to install the latest luckybackup software, from the official site (it was a deb package created for ubuntu 10.04, which is the version im using) and this error occured:
now initially, i had installed luckybackup from the ubuntu repository using sudo apt-get install luckybackup. but it was an old version (0.3.5 i think) so i removed it using sudo apt-get remove luckybackup. I also removed the folder /usr/share/luckybackup/translations and all its contents. but i still get this problem.
I don't know if it's just my system, but after applying the latest Wine update, the mouse cursor in Wine windows is now purple/magenta/pink, whatever. Not a big problem, just annoying. I've looked through the various config files in ~home and /usr/share/wine, and can't find any parameter that might even remotely address this.
OpenSuse 11.2 This link shows that gdb-7.2-61.1.x86_64.rpm is the latest version of GDB, but when I do: zypper install gdb, the version 6.8.x gets installed! The following result is after forceful refreshment:
I'm on Debian stable, I want to know if I could continue on Debian stable but install the latest version of KDE (5.6.1) without moving to testing or unstable. I want to install KDE latest (5.6.1) without having to have all of my other installs to be potentially unstable.
I attempted to install the latest version of Digikam, v1.6, by connecting the Factory repository , then an upgrade via YAST. It automagically included upgrade of certain kde4 packages to v2.5.80.
System ran OK for a while, then I got a Plasma Desktop Shell crash notice and now cannot restart X. I can boot to level 3. I upgraded all the kde components to 2.5.80, but that did not help.
Has anyone successfully done this? Was there a hidden secret to success?
If all else fails, am I correct that Code: zypper dist-upgrade --from #kde45 repository will return my system to kde 4.5.4 ?
I want to install latest version from DVD onto my second harddrive. I tried it myself yesterday but ended up with a bootloader I didn't want, and some alterations on my windows 7 disk. It took me a while to restore the windows bootloader and I don't want to do it again. how to proceed to install a fresh copy on opensuse/kde on my second harddrive without it touching my first (I can select bootdevice from bios function). Both are currently formatted as NTFS and the second (target) drive is empty.
which gives me a deadbeef folder in my home folder with latest version therein. next steps are

i installed automake all six versions in the synaptic as some are different as to what they can do. also libtool, gettext and this is what i get any thoughts? am i missing a program or 2 to install from git?
I am new to Ubuntu, I installed the latest version and when I turn it on I get like a distortion of the screen, I would gladly post a picture of it but I have no where to post it here. I am running Amd Opteron 175 with DFI Expert and GeForce 7800GT I made a partition on my Vista. I uploaded the pictures as you can see it has the distorted window in background and it just sits there saying 128%.
I'm looking to upgrade squid 3.0.x to the latest version 3.1.x. Is there a way of doing it without losing the current configuration ? The installed version was done using the binary package (rpm) and not compiled from a tar package.

whether iTunes will work through WINE in Ubuntu? Or is it not that simple? The reason I ask is because I have one iPod left (my wifes) and I need itunes for this, but I want to be on Linux from now on. Am I stuck? Will I always need windows? Or can I really escape the circle of evil licensed software! (who doesn't love some over dramatics
I read somewhere that you could use W.I.N.E to run iTunes in Linux (In my case, Ubuntu 10.10) I installed W.I.N.E, and downloaded the iTunes .exe, I was just wondering how to install iTunes in W.I.N.E.
