hello sir
I m new in Linux. I m trying to install ns-allinone2.33 package in Ubuntu 10.04. according to step which I follow. i have already extract ns-allinone2.33package in home folder. bt I m getting problem in installing dependencies. when i write the command "$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev gcc-4.3", i m getting the message like "unable to fetch some archive, maybe run apt-get update or try with -fix-missing?". so because of that next steps are not working. please help me out.

I don't know why I want this, but is there a way the Code:

sudo aptitude install <package>

or Code:

sudo aptitude upgrade

command could bypass the confirmation stage? It's always occurred to me shouldn't there be some command parameter for install/upgrade that does the work?

Let me give an example. Suppose I want to install Variety, the wallpaper changing application. Now, I know that I want to install the software with all the dependencies it requires to install/run - the entire package. So, isn't it obvious that I would press Y when aptitude shows the info what it's going to download/install and asks for permission?

I can't, however, imagine scenarios when seeing that information I'd change my mind and press N to abort the install/upgrade procedure.

I would like to use yum to install package , but how do I know the package name that I should use , for example , if I want to use ldapsearch , I tried "yum install ldapsearch" , it doesn't work , how can I know what package name to install , what package includes this command - "yum install packname" ?

thanks

In my system don't have the command "ssh" , I know it could be installed by "yum install openssh" but not "yum install ssh" .

would advise what package name that I should use to install , for example , I want to use "ssh" but the package name to install is "openssh" , how do I can know the right package name ? thanks

I tried to install bluegriffon. Didn't work with apt-get install (error: unable to locate package bluegriffon).
I installed compiler (with apt-get install build-essential)
then I unpacked the "bluegriffon-1.7.2.Ubuntu13.04.x86_64.tar.bz2" that I downloaded from their website
then I changed to bluegriffon folder with the unpacked files and I tried to compile the package but the "./configure command" did not work (error : -su: ./configu No such file or directory)
What should I do now?

Hey
First of all I don't know what I'm doing with Linux. At all. Please help. And please speak very clearly and slowly.

I got this computer second hand and I don't know what version of Linux that is on it. I tried to find out, I was just told Meego. Meego is not an option on Skypes homepage for downloading Skype.

I don't really understand the different versions. I especially don't understand how to install programs and downoad updates. I want to download Skype and a more recent version of Firefox or another browser, but I dont know how.

Information online talks about, and tells me to open my Package Manager. I don't know what this is, and I can't find one on my computer. The closest thing I have is called 'Live Update' but I open that and there is nothing in it.

Please can someone take me through how all this is supposed to work please?!

Thanks

Okay. I got a newer computer to replace one of my two computers. A friend helped me install Xubuntu 14.10. So now I'm trying to get all the software I had on the old one.

In my writing, I write on a laptop. So I have LO 4.2.3.3 on it. So I put 4.2.3.3 on the other two computers, figuring it would be best to have the same versions on all three machines.

Now I have the folder for LO 4.2.3.3 (see screenshot) but don't know how to install it on the newer computer. I have GDebi Package Installer but that only wants to install files. (Unless I open the Debs folder and do 'select all files" and "open" them with the GDebi installer.)

I went to the LO site and they don't offer 4.2.3.3 any more.

Any ideas?

One week user of Ubuntu v15 and I have tried to install the file Python-3.5.0a1.tar gz but without success. The following points have arisen.
1). The file was downloaded. OK
2). The file was extracted to the Desktop as Python-3.5.0a1
3). Using sudu apt-get install Python-3.5.0a1, the message 'file not found'. Why not!
4). Looking into the extracted files it seems that this is a source package and therefore cannot be installed as is?
5). Finally, using the bash command 'find' it could not find the above file either.
Can someone kindly sort this out for me.
Thanks.
