View 9 Replies View Relatedinstalling programs on ubuntu, you see i run ubuntu on my old time computer from around late 90's early 2000 and the internet port on the back is for old telephone lines but i no longer have these wires. So I decided to download the packages on my newer acer laptop, put them on a usb and plug it in, but i have found out that .tar.gz is nothing like the windows executable .exe and scince i'm quite new to linux i have no where to start.
P.S i have already tried installing in terminal but failed miserably...
I've tried compiling C++ programs with extension .cc and .cpp. I've tried compiling with gcc, g++ and even cc (with .cc extension files). Earlier (as g++ wasn't installed) i tried installing g++ (sudo apt-get install g++) for which i got the message "g++ has no installation candidate". Later from Synaptic i found it as g++-2.95 and installed it. I've also installed pentium-builder
Whenever i've tried to install "build-essential" (using apt-get and aptitude) i've got messages along the line of "no installation candidate". I've searched many posts and not got the answer for this. I've treid update and upgrade before installation, no use. I have all the repositories checked in software sources and the server as "main server". Now, the main problem is: (when trying to compile a .cpp file)
user@dell-desktop:~$ g++ hello.cpp
Unable to exec g++.real: No such file or directory
ser@dell-desktop:~$ gcc hello.cpp

View 4 Replies View RelatedThere are a few programs (such as lillypad) that are not listed in the software manager that I would love to install. I'm confused as how to do so. When i go on lillypad's website there is no direct extraction link, it just lets me save the source code and tells me to compile. I'm brand new to linux, I'mreally confused and need some getting off on the right track. Also, I downloaded amarok and tuxguitar, whcih both output no sound when I try and run them. Amarock wont play and of my mp3s and just skips to the end of this list, and tux guitar just runs though without outputting any sound.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using windows operating system for a long time now, but I am not well familiar with linux. Whenever I used to install Windows, I used to install the corresponding audio drivers(in order to listen to the music). The problem I am facing is that I do not know how to install the audio drivers(if they really exist in linux Mint 10 operating system). As a result I am not able to listen to any audio file due to lack of corresponding audio driver programs. make proper configurations settings so that I can listen to audio files in Linux Mint version 10.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to specifically run certain programs right in ram when they load up? On average I usually have 2Gig ram free (out of 4gig total). For example, hulu desktop, usage hog, I thought that forcing it to load into ram whenever hulu desktop is started may improve performance of the app. So, is there a program in ubuntu that can specifically control what programs can load directly load into ram when started?

I started using Ubuntu a few days ago due to a classmates recommendation, and I simply cannot get this program I need for class to install. Or if it does, I don't know how to make it work.
I've got to install VMWare Server 2.0 for my class so we can make virtual computers and what not. But, no matter what I do I can't get it to install. Whenever I try to install it like I was told on various websites (here's one for examples sake [URL], I do this: sudo ./vmware-install.pl and get this: Can't install perl script "./vmware-install.pl" : No such file or directory
I've tried putting in stuff like home/computername/Desktop/vmware-install.pl, but I still get the same problem. I've racked my brain and my browser trying to figure this out, but I've had no luck.

i have a server with 2.5T of hdd space, ram to boot, and a decent cpu. I also have a desktop made about 8 years ago... with a 20G HDD.
The server runs, ubuntu server, the desktop runs, ubuntu desktop, (how normal...). Anyway, i don't want to clog my desktop up with lots of programs, if they can be run from the server to save space.
Programs i had in mind:
OpenOffice -> Full suit
Audacity
GIMP
I have installed a couple of programs - nagios and zoneminder, but am unable to see them listed in the 'Applications' drop down.
anybody else seen this or have a resolution?
