Need Help Installing Gartoon Redux 1.11 Icons

Hi there. I have a problem installing the newest version of gnuplot which is 5.0. I downloaded it from this website (sourceforge): a source tarball. The Ubuntu 12.04 archive manager in my laptop placed it in the directory /home/alex/gnuplot-5.0.0.tar. I opened the directory/folder with a click and began reading manuals. The install procedure (read INSTALL.gnu) calls for issuing this command:

Quote:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
`configure' itself.
It is impossible to get to the directory gnuplot-5.0.0.tar via a terminal. If I type cd gnuplot-5.0.0.tar it says that this is not a derectory. If I omit .tar it does not recognize the name at all. I tried to rename it but after that I could not open it even with a click.

What shall I do?

Thanks, - A.

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum and linux too.
I thought of installing a lightweight distro of linux and did some research on the net where I found people recommending Puppy Linux. Plus it is (theoretically speaking) possible to run it from a USB (flash) drive which I decided to try out but it seems like it's not that simple a task as a lot of people (all over the internet) say it is.

What I tried so far is this: installing it into a thumb drive using unetbootin follwing a youtube tutorial (which basically showed how to download an iso of puppy, use unetbootin to make the thumbdrive bootable and install puppy on it). It didn't work. The USB wasn't recognized as a bootable device. I know for sure it can be booted from it since I tried ubuntu from the same USB and the same Laptop (which is able to boot from USB).

I thought that something with the Flash Drive not OK so I tried to use a windows installer to install puppy like other windows programms but this didn't work either. This time Puppy was recognized because there was an option to boot either Puppy or Windows 7 but when I chose to boot from Puppy nothing happens just a screen flash, some letters in the top left corner saying something like NTSC or NTSF (I can't read it properly because it goes away too fast) then after the screen flash the whole thing again (boot from win 7 or Puppy I choose Puppy again the flash... basically a loop).

Any ideas what I'm doing wron or what the problem is?

Thank You for any replies.

Hello,

I am trying to install OCI8. I'm pretty sure the last thing I need to do is run the "./configure" command, but no matter where I try to run it, it gives me back a "file not found" or "command not found" error. I have tried this on CentOS and Fedora and always install PHP with yum. I have done many GUI searches looking through the file system for "php" and have tried to run ./configure in every php folder I can find but the command never runs. Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks so much!

-Matt

P.S. Do I even need to do this if I already edited the "php.ini" file and installed OCI8 with PECL? Thanks!

Hello all,
I'm having real trouble trying to get SVN 1.8.9 installed on a linux box which is now my responsibility to look after, I think it is centos or scientific linux.
EDIT: it is Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon)

What I've done so far: SVN 1.6 was installed and working fine. I installed smartsvn so that I had a 'nice' GUI to look at the repos on the machine. Smartsvn then upgraded my repos. The svn client on the command line does not work with the upgraded repos. I tried yum install svn but the latest svn is already installed (1.6). I then installed 1.7 from source and still that version was too old. I then installed 1.8.9 from source - yey this worked locally fine. There are cron jobs that run and use the svn client to push to an svn server The SVN I installed from source does not commit properly and gives this error:
svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://.....' I googled around and found I need to install svn with configure --with-serf option. This fails as the SVN install needs serf 1.2.1 or newer. So I install serf 1.3.something from an rpm. That installs fine and I retry the configure step but it fails giving the same error. rpm -ql serf returns: /usr/lib/libserf-1.so
/usr/lib/libserf-1.so.1
/usr/lib/libserf-1.so.1.3.0
So I think 1.3 is installed...?
Does anyone know how to make the configure step of svn know where serf is? --with-serf=/usr/lib/ did not work at all for me.

Thanks for any help and I'm happy to post more information.

Cheers

i have an hp pavilion dv7 laptop and i installed openmandrivalx 14.1 x64 on it and cannot configure the wireless intel centrino wireless n-2230 adapter. Have downloaded the iwlwifi drivers but cannot install because the system cannot resolve the $MIRRORLIST problem.
This occurs on all mandriva based linux systems i hahe tried mageia with the same result. Mageia cannot even recognise the centrino adapter.
Ubuntu based linux systems install on the fly.
What good is an operating system in the modern era that you cannot connect to the internet seamlessly?

Hello,
Tried to check other questions first, but didnt find any that were the same so here goes.....
Have an older pc with MSI motherboard: ms-7039 V 1.3. Other id's are N1996 and K9N6PGM2-V man. date 6/11/2008. Has bios v 9.1 simbios v 2.5 This is a 32bit.
Have formatted satas (plural because tried different drives to be sure not bad) in ntfs, partitioned according to instructions.
Have created 2 bootable usb's both 32bit, of ubuntu and mint. These both are fine as checked them on other machines so thats not the problem.
Can load win7 just fine, when go through install of these distros all goes well until says to reboot. Once reboot, loads up and either get 1. a fuzzy screen just with color 2. the screen with only icons on top right (ubuntu) sometimes mouse works sometimes not or 3. all icons top right and on left, but either mouse not work, moves in jerks and in both of these cases cannot click on icons.
Any ideas? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I have been using Petra for nearly a year.

I shut down every night, and the system has repeatedly functioned properly on every boot.

Recently and not always, the system boots and I have my desktop background but without any icons or any tray applets.

When this occurs, I can do nothing from the desktop and I must shutdown using the manual stop button.

When the unit shutsdown, I press the start button and the unit has booted normally, with desktop icons.

All of the desktop icons were created using Chrome.

Is there any way of curing this problem short of reloading the OS?

The machine is a HP-a1630n, with HDD and 2.4G of ram.

Thanks much,
Jim

I have a typical requirement, I want to have a converter module, that can convert UDP packet to TCP packet. And I need to do it before the packet can be processed in IP layer.

I will explain this complete scenario using an example

Lets say we have 3 machines A, B and C.

A sent an UDP packet
B received UDP packet
At B, when packet is being given to IP layer (from Link / MAC / Ethernet layer) , I want to get hold of packet. I want to delete the UDP and IP header in packet. I want to add TCP and IP header (assuming C is the destination host).
Now from B machine, packet is sent to C machine

Can somebody help me how this can be done. I am using linux machines.

Though libpcap can be one of the option (from wireshark), but it is not suitable for me because of performance reasons. I want a very light weight solution for this problem.
