I am new to ubuntu. I need to install BLUEMAN on my ubuntu 10.04. I have downloaded the file on my cell from the blueman website , its blueman.tar.gz. Furthermore I don't have any lan or wireless connection on my netbook. How to install this blueman on ubuntu on my netbook? When I transfer the file on unubtu desktop, it is detected as an archive.,,.
I'd like to ask about archive mounter feature, can I mount zip file with read write mode? can gvfsd-archive do that?, or I must use fuse-zip to mount it? If I must use fuse-zip, how I wrap it so I can use it via nautilus or via gvfs-fuse-daemon
I've got something or someone downloading from me, probably scraping, and i can't figure out WHAT is using all of my bandwidth, and WHERE it's coming from.I don't know what SERVICE its from (eg, is this an apache request, or DNS DOS), what FILES are being accessed (if any, eg apache requests/scrape), and what IP is requesting them.My apache logs isn't showing anything that makes me thing i'm being scrapped. I'm kinda stuck in a brain fart right now and can't remember how to track this down, but the long and short is that all of my band width is being consumed, and 1 of my CPU cores is staying maxed out ("top" says that it's the avahi service).I've shut off the following services 1 by 1 to see if any of them would cause a drop in network usage, and none of them did:
I have installed blueman on XFCE desktop I can send files but I can't receive files what is the problem ? when I open Adapters and change items it dosen't work , indeed it doesn't save changes why ?
I just downloaded the blueman source file to get bluetooth tethering in my linux so that I can use internet (that's the only medium for me) but i dont know how to install from source code. And i cant even get online now! (I am posting this via operamini) Any installation instruction with screen shoot for offline mode installation for blueman? Or is there any other way to connect a pc for the first time via dialup using a phone because I don't have broadband.
Alright, so I followed the step by step instructions from this page: [URL]. When I downloaded the file, the file appeared on my desktop as an unknown file with the name "ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386". I thought this was strange because it didn't have the ".iso" after it. I tried looking for a download location for the file that would give me a .iso file, but whenever I download the file it just appears on my desktop as "ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386". After that, I downloaded Infra Recorder, and followed those instructions. Everything was going fine and when the progress bar hit 100%, Infra Recorder gave me some kind of error.
I can't recall exactly what it said, but it said to check the log file or something like that. I wasn't sure what to do at this point, so I tried installing Ubuntu anyway. I rebooted with the CD and it took me to the burgundy screen and it started to load, but then the installation crashed to an MS DOS screen with some gibberish that I didn't understand. Obviously the CD I wrote didn't have all of the installation files it needed. What should I do? Is there something wrong with the file that I downloaded? My computer is a Dell Vostro 200 and I am running Windows XP.
Running Ubuntu 10.04 currently. But for some reason cant seem to find what im looking for about making USB drives bootable once ive downloaded the .iso file i want. USB-creator-gtk seems to only work with the ubuntu family. ImageWriter only works with .img files? I want to play around with other linux distros from .iso. I tried makebootfat and got some errors. ill post them later if you guys think makebootfat is the way to go but i think im making it to too hard on myself.
I downloaded debian-6.0.1a-i386-netinst.iso. i would like to burn the cd as iso image but i cannot find the iso file in the downloaded folder. i am going to browse the iso file on vmware.
I have downloaded Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso. Now I want to create a bootable USB from the downloaded ISO file. I tried with the latest version of liveusb-creator 3.9.1. I am unable to do so. It took around 3 days to download the iso file and now I cant even use it.
ERROR MESSAGE:: Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso selected Verifying filesystem... Extracting live image to USB device... Wrote to device at 1 MB/sec Creating 100MB persistent overlay LiveUSB creation failed! Here is the screen shot....
I have downloaded conky but cant make it work. I have so far installed from terminal. But I do not see it in my desktop. Where do I create the rc file?
after the netinst finished to download the last package, one hour later the process never continues, I checked the log file and I didn't find anything suspecious, also dmesg and nothing, in fact, in the log file before checked I found that the last line was registered just a minute ago - DHCP renew IP-, so my questions are:
1. all the packages downloaded are gone?, can I restart the installation using all those packages downloaded?
2. where I can find the error or problem that cause that the installation was freezed?
3. in the case that installation needs to start from the beginning, can I use the package downloaded?
After connecting my phone via bluetooth using Blueman and then activating Dialup connection in Blueman, it says "Now DUN is available in Network Manager" or something like this. But, there is NOTHING about DUN connection in NM. What this thing is telling about?
I am trying to install blueman on fedora 12. I am compiling it from source. Because their is no rpm file for this. In configuration their is error
bluez is not find..but I have installed bluez-4.57... Error is:- Consider adjusting PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variables if you installed software in non standard prefix.. set evn variables BLUEZ_CFLAGS and BLUEZ_LIBS...
How can I set these variables..to get rid of this error. I want to connect to internet through GPRS enabled phone through bluetooth. Any other way to connect to internet through bluetooth. I am using fedora 12.
I downloaded the demo of Penumbra Overture, it is a .sh file (113Mb). I can't open the file. In a terminal I ran chmod +x PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh and then sudo ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh and I get an error "./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh: 2: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" . The quotation marks are my own. Is the file corrupted? One of my lugmates thinks it might be a shar file, but Karmic says that it is a shell script. Another friend says that it is too large to be a shell script. Here is the code:
john@john-laptop:~$ cd /home/john/00 john@john-laptop:~/00$ chmod +x PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh john@john-laptop:~/00$ sudo ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh
I'm a long time user of Debian, but I'm having trouble with my partitioning process. Here is where I currently stand:
I am installing the latest Wheezy build. I am trying to install debian with an encrypted LVM that spans two hard disks.
My partitioning layout is as:
1. /home 2. /root 3. swap 4. /boot
I then added partitions 1, 2 and 3 to a physical volume group. I then took that physical volume group and added it to a logical volume. Then I encrypted the logical volume, leaving the /boot partition untouched. I was under the assumption that the only partition the system needed free to reach the loading of the LVM is the /boot partition, as it holds the files necessary for booting. But when I attempt to finalize the disk, it gives an error stating, "No root file system detected". That would be an issue as it is currently sitting inside the encrypted LV. Am I wrong in including the root partition in the encrypted LV?
What is the best way of having as little of my file system non-encrypted as possible while still allowing a proper boot?
I'm not 100% sure if this is the right spot for it, but I'm having trouble unzipping files. I've downloaded a good few fonts from dafont.com, from different authors and with different browsers and I still get errors. First I opened the .zip with Archive Manager
Code: 7-Zip 9.04 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2009 Igor Pavlov 2009-05-30 p7zip Version 9.04 (locale=en_ZA.utf8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,2 CPUs) Error: /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip: Can not open file as archive Errors: 1
I then tried Code: ross@Ross-PC:~$ unzip /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip and got this output Code: Archive: /media/42E6F8E2366C0906/Fonts/panhead.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found.

I do have p7zip-full installed, but it isn't a .7zip file?
I was messing with Openbox, LXDE, and Pekwm a couple days ago to see if I liked any of them, but I ended up coming back to gnome.
But it seems that, somehow, some of my preferred apps settings got wiped during this process.
The most annoying one, is I have no default application for archives (zip, tar.gz, etc). I can tell Ubuntu to "Open With..." and that works... but it doesn't stick.
How can I return this back to normal Ubuntu behavior?
UPDATE: It appears that nearly ALL my preferred application settings are gone. Pretty much everything except couple filetypes show up with the standard "file" icon and won't open unless I use "open with".
I have a 7zip archive and I would like to extract certain files from with it. Is there a way to do this without un-compressing the entire archive? I know these files exist in there because I am using the "7za l" command to view the files contained in the archive.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and I started to have a kind of annoying problem with file-roller. I do not know what I attempted to unpack or pack form my USB HDD a couple of days ago, but when I did I got a message from the archive manager, the message was: "Could not create the archive, Archive type not supported." Well, I just shrugged, and continued doing whatever I was doing, but later I noticed that whenever I tried to open the HDD for whatever reason from "PLACES" in the main panel, I was getting the same error message over and over again.
It is not produced when I open the HDD from the Desktop link in my Desktop, that link will open the HDD with no problems. But if I try to access the HDD from "PLACES" in the main panel I will always get the same error message. Ok, what have I tried: since the archive manager window shows the "file-roller" logo in the menu button, I assumed that file roller is stuck with the previous process for which it produced an error, therefore I tried to "kill" any pending processes by several ways: Login-off, re-starting and turning the computer off.
That did not worked. Whenever I attempted to open the HDD from "PLACES" the same error "Could not create the archive, Archive type not supported." will return. Assuming that nautilus was stuck with the process I tried to kill any pending processes by using Alt+F2 and trying to kill the pending nautilus process using: ps -e | grep nautilus and then the command kill {####}
That did not worked either. I was tired and uninstalled "file-roller" using the software manager, this solved the problem. But I actually use "file-roller" so I re-install the program and the problem returned. I tried to uninstall the program using synaptic manager using the "Mark for complete removal" option, uninstall, re-install and the problem was there. I uninstalled all the other recommended packages that were installed along with "file-roller" using synaptics and then just tried to install "file-roller" alone, the problem is still here.
Then I thought it was a problem related to the HDD. So I went ahead and re-formatted it using the EXT4 file system with no partitions. Re-booted and the problem is still here. Whatever process I started with "file-roller" or one of its companion pkgs is still active somewhere, I believe is "alive" in the system's HDD, because it returns after a complete uninstall/reboot/install process. I do not want to mess with "nautilus" itself, Do I need to uninstall/reinstall "nautilus-data" pkg?

How to archive content of directory to file and also how to extract archive from file to directory just as below.

I use Unison to synch files between my netbook and desktop. Have done for a while without issue. I hadnt used it for a while and now, when doing so, i cannot get it to work.I get the following error message:
Code: Looking for changes Fatal error: Warning: the archives are locked.
I didnt used ubuntu till now..and now i decided to start with ubuntu and downloaded the iso file torrent from Complete Download Options List | Ubuntu named ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent...but after downloading it shows that its a winrar archive......can i do anything with this rar?
I posted this same thing on the blueman forums (less of a population). I thought I'd post it here as well. I'm a recent convert and am a fanboi but my frustration with this bluetooth deal is getting out of hand.
Let me start by saying I'm a complete newb to ubuntu and blueman. My problem is trying to get blueman to work with iphone tethering, again. I've searched the forums and tried the restarting method; still no dice.
I managed to get the tether working properly at one point in time. I then tried to install some flash player which caused errors in other departments. I reinstalled ubuntu and fully updated it to fix the errors. I completely updated ubuntu and installed blueman through the software manager gui.
I noticed a few things different this time when installing blueman. First, blueman didn't remove the gnome-bluetooth program like it did before. Second, both bluetooth managers appear in the tray up top. Third, blueman will not tether properly. I've managed to pair the decives properly and my iphone even says it's tethered when I select it as an access point in blueman. It will not actually tether providing interwebs to my ubuntu OS.
1. What gives?! Before, any time I would select my iphone as an "access point" a little green ball would appear in the bluetooth icon and it would access the internet.
2. Also, what do my settings under "local services" need to be set to? Do I need to allow blueman to manage all network activity? Do I need NAT enabled? Do I need DHCP checked? Do I need to set as an access point and/or a group network!?
i am trying to install symantec endpoint on a linux server by this command rpm -ivh sav-1.0.3-8.i386.rpm but it gives me the following error error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/Symantec/bin/navdefutil;4ceb8d6b: cpio: mkdir failed - No such file or directory
