I'm trying to get cheops-ng installed. It needs a few packages that I can't seem to get installed. One needs the other and it seems to be taking me in a circle. It starts asking for libgnomes32, when I try installing this it asks for gnome-lib-data and then gnome-bin
I get to gnome-bin and the only package I can find is the i386 version. I finally find an amd64 package that us supposed to be correct but here's the kicker. it brings me back to the libgnome32.. I try a few more and ultimatly takes me back to the gnome-bin It's a never ending cycle between these same librarys. Linux sysadmin 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have been having trouble with installing ATI drivers on my box. I have tried the repository way and that fails due to checksum differences. I want to try the command line way but. every time I run the installer it acts like it worked, then when I close it by clicking Okay I get a message that says the compile has failed.
I am wondering if there is a kernel setting that needs to be changed? The output error log has the following output:
I have installed Ubuntu 11.04, 64 bit and now I am trying to install/configure MFC-7420 scanner part (printer works fine)I tried to follow the steps listed at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-590793.html, but I don't have etc / udev / rules.d/45-libsane.rules file to edit and can not continue with the remaining steps of the guide.
I also tried to follow the steps provided by the Brother Solution Center http:[url].... I have downloaded brscan2 64 bit and installed without error but when I tried to install the brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.amd64.deb using >sudo dpkg -i --force-all brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.amd64.deb I get the following error:

Which dependencies am I missing? or What am I doing wrong?
Trying the various settings (and noticing ubuntu gnome users recently had the same exact OPPOSITE problem -- they can't SHOW hidden files in dolphin) to hide my hidden files in dolphin is not working. The settings are saved OK, but those damn (ending in tilde, ie "~") files do NOT ever hide! I even see the correct little green recycling symbol on them, indicating they're identified as such, but no actual hiding goes on..
Nautilus, which I've used before (but have grown tired of, and was looking forward to dolphin), also has a weird issue that seems to have appeared with FC13 (I'd been using FC12 'til now mostly because of this) - there's no way (AFAIK) to tell it to show the location; to see it, you have to click Go->Location each time. Previously I could set it to print out the whole file or server path and it would stay that way when I opened new windows.. This is on fresh install & update.. kernel is 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64.
I noticed that in Fedora 15 Beta when you choose a minimal install then add ONLY the defaults of the "GNOME Desktop" package, you will get this error: gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 has a required package:
system-backgrounds-gnome
When I look for gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 it is not on any installation menu list. I prefer gnome, but installed KDE and that worked. Any ideas of getting gnome to work?
I am using LDAP for authentication but, synaptic and a few other gnome applications ask for a local users password and will not allow you to choose a LDAP user.
I am using the script you find at [URL]
why gnome is not using the LDAP for all authentication and what I should change?
I cannot install gnome. It complains about swfdec-mozilla needing to be installed, I install it, and it now needs epiphany-extensions, which uninstalls swfdec-mozilla.
So there are conflicting dependencies. Could someone fix this?
so i restarted my computer to find that gnome-panel package is gone- dont know how this happened, i use docky which still works and have all my main applications on there so i can run terminal, package manager etc, but the only way i know of connecting to the internet is through notification/indicator applet on gnome-panel and so cant install that package until i get internets, can i sort out an internet connection through terminal or some other way?
I'm having some problems getting the GUI installed in my Server 10.04 installation.
I've installed the Ubuntu server 10.04 32bit with a VMWare player on a Windows XP Pro host. Everything seems to have gone ok but at the end of the install it said that VMWare items are being installed and while that happens I can only use the terminal mode or I could wait for the GUI to load. Well the GUI never loaded so I logged in through the terminal.
I realized immediately that I'm over my head as I'm more familiar with DOS rather than bash or the terminal commands of Ubuntu. So I tried to look up on the internet (from my host machine) on how to start or install the GUI interface for the server. I've found lots of things that show commands like:
sudo apt-get install gnome gdm
or
sudo aptitude install gnome-core
but in all cases I get a message that the package is not found. So I'm wondering how do I find the package so that I can install this?
I downloaded the KDE version, now I'd like the gnome version. And does fedora have a package management similar to ubuntu like 'sudo apt-get install firefox'? I'd like to know.
I can't find gnome-do-docklets for 11.3 in software search, there is for 11.2 and for factory, And I'm curious , is it just that no one did the packaging for 11.3 or is there another reason? and how can I install it, can I install the 11.2 package?
I have a problem, I'm making my own Distro (I hope it'll be cool :P) and I have some problems,
1. What should I still install? What packages should be in? (for normal use) 2. What should I do to make system automatically find sound when start? 3. Which application/command starts a window, where is logout button, turn off etc. in Gnome? 4. Which package do the extra applets in Gnome?
I have upgraded my Laptop from Fedora12 to Fedora 13 via DVD image (x64 version). After the upgrade, I tried to update via YUM every package that still needed upgrade (especially nvidia drivers), and I got
[Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-13-x86_64
So, I tried to delete and reimport the rpmfusion repos, but when I go to this page:
[URL]
and try to install the RPMs, it only allows me to open them with Archive Manager! So I looked into GNOME menus and... damn, apparently I can't find Package manager anymore! Where did it go? and more importantly, why can't I install RPMs anymore? Can anyone enlight me on what went wrong?
Being the fool that I am, I forgot the good old terminal. I have still to nail down in my brain that going by terminal always works better than GUI. Using RPM -Uvh I managed to re-import all repos whose GPG key wasn't signed, and so I finally can upgrade my packages.
Package Manager is missing from GNOME. I have a couple of packages that I installed outside from repositories (they are SongBird and PersonalBrain), and I want to upgrade one (SongBird) and delete the other (PersonalBrain) but since I am in no way an expert when it comes to use the Terminal, I don't know how to uninstall them both (and then reinstall an upgraded version of SongBird).
can anyone please tell me which package provides the gnome system monitor applet (the one which can display cpu load and disk I/O in the tray)?I run XFCE on F14/x64 and would like to display it using the XfApplet.
What i've tried already: *) Installed the "GNOME Desktop Environment" --> Nothing changed *) did a yum provides "/usr/lib64/bonobo/servers/*" to check which packages are providing applets - didn't found anything which sounds like the system monitor applet
The XfApplet shows up a bunch of available applets but not the system monitor ...
I have dowmloaded the latest version of Gnome Nanny, but have run into an instal problem at the first hurdle:
I have extracte the folder to Documents: Cd/ to the folder and run the ./configure command and get this message: No package 'pygtk-2.0' found
I have checked the install files and edited the lines which contain the above to now read pygtk -2.0 >=2.8 as 2.8 is the version of python I have installed. In package manager it only goes back to v2.2.
I have upgraded my laptop to OpenSuse 11.2 few weeks ago. It was fine until last Tuesday, when a system crash occurred during a kernel security update. I think something went wrong with my network connection. I was working on my code and suddenly I lost my base tools such as /bin/ls and /bin/cd. So I tried to restart and got a kernel panic as my kernel was partially broken.
I tried rescue the system, however it did not work. After that I thought I could fix it by reinstalling the OS with minimal server configuration over my existing root partition. (Since I didnt have any other computer or live cd at that time and I was rushing for a demo, I could not reinstall the missing components one by one. And reinstalling the minimal server made sense then )Almost everything went fine ( i needed to do little things like creating gdm user). Now I can use my system and all my applications. But as expected, the pre installed packages in my system now cannot be seen by YaST Software Manager. Is there a way to repopulate the package list?
Another question is, I cannot restart the computer from a Gnome session. Whenever I restart or shutdown, i go back to the login screen, then I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 which starts the restart progress. How can I fix this?
Well the topic name says it all. I only installed the base system and when I try "apt-get install gnome" it tells me it can't find package "gnome".Now, I'm actually to much of a noob to try to build my own Debian from the base system and up. But it still seems to be the easiest option.When I try "Debian GNU/Linux on CDs" I can't get online. I start Iceweasl but it just gives me that message telling me that it can't find the website I tried to enter (e.g www.google.com).When I try the net install I get "Bad Archive Mirror" at the configure apt part. I've tried searching your forums for this and it seems to happen to a lot of people but I still can't find a solution in any of those threads
I've played with a couple of different versions on both Intel & AMD processors in the past (never totally successful) & all the versions I've played with in the past had separate downloads for i386 & AMD. I thought I'd try again with 9.10. When I started to download this morning, I only saw a version for x86 32bit & 64bit. What should I use for an AMD Athlon x2? Have Intel & AMD been rolled into x86?
Is there an easy way to downgrade from the AMD64 version to the I386 version of 10.04. I am having all sorts of problems with my machine running the AMD64 version of Ubuntu. The same problems do not occur on my netbook where I use the I386 version.
On U's download page, Canonical says that the 64-bit version of U is not advised "for daily use," i.e., for the general public, I assume. I'd love to know why they don't advise for general use the 64-bit version, even on 64-bit machines. Is it because of the difficulty of getting the 64-bit version of Flash and other, similar problems, or is it because of any inherent instability?
I installed the 64-bit version on my newly built (not new, but not too old equipment) AMD64 machine in late April or early May. Then, about a 1 1/2 month later, after downloading the routine updates, I clicked on Restart, as required. It began installing the updates, then, after about 2-3 seconds, it completely crashed--completely! Now no recovery tool can even see the partition it's on, though Gparted shows the OS/fs still there.
I'm trying to decide what to do about that. Secondly, I'd like to know if there's any difference between the coding of the settings for the apps in the two (home is on a separate partition). That is, can I replace my 64-bit U with a 32-bit one and keep/use my dot folders from before?
I cant resist till Sunday without OS, so I decided to give it a try with 10.10 RC.I installed it on my USB, since my DVD drive is kinda faulty sometimes.I used the 10.10 RC desktop amd64, installed on the USB through Unetbootin 4.90, started Live and works flawlessly.I checked to be sure there were no defects, there aren't.But when I went to install it, either directly from the boot option or double-clicking the icon in the desktop, it check whether is plugged etc., I click next and just looks like is loading for an infinite times.This happen both if I connect to the Internet or not, if I choose to install updates or not and the mp3 codec or not.Once i left it there for 90 minutes and nothing change it.
I have an Amd64 processor. I guess that I should install the amd64 alternate cd instead of the i386 installation. What would be better for me and which problems can occur?
I'm trying to install 10.10 Alternate AMD64 on a laptop (eMachines e510) in order to then install a minimal desktop.I haven't found anything about this issue outside of this page, which describes the problem I encounter well: [URL]It basically happens right when the base system installation starts.The link shows screenshots of it.I tried burning a CD at minimum speed, and the CD check indeed says the files are corrupt.
