Ubuntu :: Unable To Install Programs (such As Lillypad)?
Nov 19, 2010
There 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.

installing 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

I'm unable to change startup programs. If I try and add or remove a program, any changes I have made seem to undo themselves. I suspect it might have something to do with being unable to save the session, but I really don't have a clue.
Just in case it makes a difference: I'm actually running Mint (Helena).

I am facing some unusual issue while trying to run any WIN32 applications through WINE in my Ubuntu Lucid AMD64 desktop. As you may see from the attached image, my system reports that executable bit is blocked.I am unable to run any Win32 applications after this.Though I dont use any Windows applications from the day I switched to Ubuntu. But I am keeping this ready just in case if I have to run any ever

The Ext 4 file system of the partition (dev/sdb1) is corrupted. When I seek to repair this using the boot repair tool it is unable to resolve this. I admit that I don't fully understand the problem - except that I'm unable to open and use programs.

I'm brand-spanking new to Ubuntu and so far am greatly enjoying this magnificent OS. Though, after attempting to install Wine, I now this error when trying to install any program: 'E:Type 'main' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-lucid.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'
Here is the source list where I'm assuming the error is coming from:
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429)]/ lucid main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted

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 decided to download Blender as a tar.bz2 file from the site instead of using synaptic (synaptic had an older version)What is the best place to extract such a program? Right now, I just made a folder in my /home/ directory and extracted there. It works, but I want to know if that's the "right" way to do things.I've read the explanations of linux file system folders, but this is my first practical application of that stuff, and I'm confused.Am I supposed to put it in /usr/ or /opt/ or something?

I have been using Ubuntu for quite some time now but I noticed that when Most things are installed (especially from the software center) It automatically installs to the same drive ubuntu is installed on. Is there any way to make the programs install to a different drive?

so i just did a fresh install of lucid last night. it went relatively well, but there's a few minor issues.. one of them being that i can't install certain software from ubuntu software center because it tells me that the program isn't offered for amd64.
for example, when i try to install skype, it tells me
Quote:
Sorry, 'skype' is not available for this type of computer (amd64).
i even downloaded the 64 bit skype from the website, but when it doesn't want to install that either and just leaves me with a broken package.
the thing is, these programs that won't install with lucid worked perfectly with karmic.. so i guess it has something to do with lucid..

I installed WINE to get some old games to work on my Ubuntu box. (Return to Castle Wolfenstein)I tried downloading some demos and it says BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX and to read the executable bit. I did, and it says it will NOT install any programs downloaded from the internet. I thought 'fine, I guess they have to be retail games' so I popped the disk in and it tells me the same thing. Any exe program I EVER try to install from anywhere is just BLOCKED: WINE START UNIX. Why is this happening?

I am fairly new to ubuntu and linux in general but have bee experimenting for a little while. As part of that experimentation I ended up with a set of fedora 11 install cd's except for disc 4 which had a faulty image.The fedora cd's have some programs that may be handy in setting up a server. This prompts my thoughts to turn to getting the programs off the fedora cd's and installing them on ubuntu.Both are a gnome desktop environment, and there are a whole heap of files with names that look to me like files for part of a serious installation.
is it possible to use the ubuntu installer program to look at these and then install only some which I can't do if I just look at the filenames.

After trying out ubuntu for a while (and messing something up that required I reinstall), I installed karmic using the encrypt home directory option. Now I can't run several programs, such as Computer Janitor, SBackup, Software Sources, and Synaptic Package Manager (I can run Synaptic only if I launch it through a terminal using "sudo synaptic"). All of these programs worked flawlessly for me when I didn't have an encrypted install. I am very new to linux, the join date to the left is about when I started trying ubuntu
