Obtaining Required Software Or Dependencies?

Any tips/tricks on how and what order I should be installing the RHEL6 packages so that I don't get dependency errors would be much appreciated.

I have sudo access (unrestricted I think) to a Linux VM running RHEL 6.3. I am trying to install an IBM product which requires KSH along with a bunch of Linux packages (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) before it can install properly. Minimal documentation for installing on a Linux environment from IBM.

Many of the packages I am trying to install gives me a dependency failu

rpm -ivh nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-22.el6_6.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

Should I be downloading earlier versions of glibc from the Red Hat site? Please note, I installed the x86_64-bit versions of the required packages with no issues... just getting stuck on the 32-bit components.

Also, this system is internal facing and has no route out to RHN so yum installs automatically return errors, which is why I am stuck using rpm.

Thanks in advance!

Hi.

Running Suse 10.1 on an x86_64 machine. Trying to install a program and having some difficulty. The program is codeco 3.3. It's a format conversion program used for converting seismic waveforms such that they can be analysed by different analysis packages.

http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/products/s...3/codeco3.html

My debugging skills aren't up to much and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with the error. The steps involved in the installation of the package a

1. Download, gunzip and untar.

2. make config
> jp@linux:/usr/local/codeco> make config
(cd src; ./conf.csh)
found system Linux
found compiler

...this is ok, but

3. make
>jp@linux:/usr/local/codeco> make
(cd src; make)
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/codeco/src'
o ../bin/codeco codecomain.f gse_io.f codecoutil.f compdecomp.f sacsub.f sac_io.f mseed_io.f css_io. today.f utmepo.f epoutm.f
make[1]: o: Command not found
make[1]: [codeco] Error 127 (ignored)
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/codeco/src'

The src code itself is written in fortran and I'm using the Intel fortran compiler version 9.0.031.

I'm at a loss as to the meaning of the above error...my knowledge of linux and software installation still not very good!

Thanks

I am trying to install tilp, a program for the link between a computer and a Texas Instruments calculator. I have downloaded all the packages to a local directory. I tried telling yum to install all the packages at the same time, though, the dependencies still fail to resolve (though they are all in the directory).

I don't know if it would be safe to force install without the dependencies (even though I would install them later).

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,

I just asked a question about Xubuntu and things are a little clearer now. But when I go to install new software or apps is the only thing that will work with Xubuntu something that says it's compatible with xfce?

I don't think that's the case, because I remember installing stuff like the text editor Kate that was more like other things than xfce but it works great anyway.

But what would be really helpful would be if someone could give me a list of the different kinds (I don't even know what they're called but the software programs or apps say things like 'works with KDE or Debian or GTK2 etc.') of things that will work with Xubuntu.

Thanks.

I was recently given a Samsung Convoy 3 phone as an insurance replacement. One of the phone's features is that you are supposed to be able to transfer data directly from the phone to your computer using a USB cable, but the phone's data transfer program (Mass Storage) has been hanging at the step where it contacts the computer. I am running Linux Mint 13, and I've determined that the operating system recognizes the phone when I plug it in, but it doesn't mount automatically. Verizon and Samsung have not been helpful.

Today I figured out how to mount and unmount the phone manually using mtpfs, but I wasn't sure what program to assign to open it, and the one I chose didn't work. Now I can't figure out how to change the program assignment -- no "open with" option comes up when I right-click on the icon on my desktop -- and I'm also not sure what program to use.

I'm willing to do the whole data transfer via command line if someone can walk me through it. I'm not very experienced with command-line prompts yet, but I've loved the ones I've learned so far.

Thanks!

installed digiKam 4:3.5.0-Oubuntu 10 and dependent packages from Synaptic Package Manager.

Graphics/digiKam selected - no action

Operating system Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. (LUBUNTU)

I have used digiKam successfully in previous versions of Ubuntu.

(In your LQ tutorial you refer to using 'how-tos' -where are these?-and search for occurence of 'digikam' - have attempted this without success)

(Your tutorial suggests I introduce myself - I have used Ubuntu for many years but only in GUI. My Unix knowledge is near zero - whenever I attempt to understand descriptions in the forums I get stumped by acronyms and terms that are common to other Linux users)

I hope you can help.

i decided to post this as a new thread seeing how it's a recurring problem for me, and i still haven't found good recursive software to download dependancies from a website when some of the packages aren't in the repos or my linux doesn't have the correct repos in the sources file.

i used dpkg -i and it did not work. i know i can install this with recursion software, however the trend is heading toward arch with linux, so distro agnostic linuxes and parent distros which install tarballs and compile without many bugs automatically are what all linux developers should be supporting first and foremost.

this brings me to my question, there are a lot of applications and dependancies not included in repositories, and not included in your current aptitude (or whatever automated dependancy program you prefer to use to download packages) unless you modify the repo source file, so sources.list or whatever for debian. why do forum answers simply refer newbies and half newbies to using commands with bugs, instead of considering the repository doesn't have the neccessary packages, or that the user needs to add the websites to the sources in their distro before using automated package grabber commands/software? it's quite possible the person who posted the package did not submit it to the linux repo, or has not submitted it yet. some devs are too lazy to put any of their software in any repo.

there are websites like github which seem to be attempting to correct this problem, but it still begs the question, what is good recursion software or a recursive command which works and downloads the dependancies when not in the repositories with the least amount of bugs? theroetically it would be easier to use gui software which has innate recursion and copy and paste the web address of the binary, rather than modify the source file every time you want to download a package with missing dependances.

here was an example of my output downloading a current wheezy kernel in order to make a custom debian image

I've got my new system up and running. It's a nice fresh change after running Linux Mint for the past 4 years. Now comes the time of setting things up the way I like them.

As part of my setup, I have a all of my DVD's backed up onto my computer so that I can use a media server in the house. I run XBMC at my TV's with a central samba server (my computer) holding the movies.

In LM, all I had to do was right-click the directory "sharing" and select SMB share and type in the name. Everything else was done for me. This doesn't seem that simple.

Here's what I've done:
1. Menu > Administration > Samba
2. Entered in all the directories to share, under the BASIC tab I've selected visibile, writeable. Under the ACCESS tab I've selected a user (see below).
3. I've created a system user called xbmc with the password of xbmc.
4. I've created a samba user called xbmc with the password of xbmc.

Still not working. So, I went into the shell where I manually started the smb service:
# systemctl start smb.service

So, I went back to Menu > Administration > Samba > Preferences:
Set workgroup to WORKGROUP (but it automatically changes it to lower case after I exit).

Drop to terminal and restart service with systemctl.

I go over to my XMBC installation and try to connect to the source and it finds the SMB share. I click on it and after about 30 seconds a window pops up asking for login credentials. I enter xbmc/xbmc and after about 30 seconds it just cycles through. XMBC doesn't offer any messages, so I went downstairs to my Windows machine and tried to connect to a network drive. I enter in \\IP\share-name and after a few seconds it asks for login credentials. I enter xbmc/xbmc but then it fails with "bad username or password".

I'm not sure what I need to do to get this working.

Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

Hi,

Could anyone please explain as understandable as possible how could I on my Windows 8 open either single file or install (and use) entire software which is supposted to work on Linux and/or Ubuntu? I have absolutelly NO experience with Linux and have never used it. Honestly, I don't know if there is any difference between Linux and Ubuntu. I want to be inside my Windows 8 while using Linux files/sofware. The only solution I could think of are actually two but neither of them is useful for me:

1. Vmware (i don't know how to use it)
2. Rent remote computer (vps/rdp) with linux OS installed (this would let me be in Windows 8 while being able to use Linux file/software [on remote computer] but sooner or later I would want to have Windows installed there too)

Tried program Linux Reader but didn't work on my Windows 8. Although I would need solution for installation/usage of software (that can be used only on linux/ubuntu), regardless of details***, the current problem is basically related to single files only: I have two files, both in IMG extension. Don't know how to open them because Deamon Tools doesn't handle IMG. The problem is that filesystem in one of them is "Linux" and filesystem in another is "142". The error I am getting when I try to open them is:

"File with harddrive/disc snapshot is corrupted."

But this is most likely because they are supposted to be used in linux environment, hence such question.

*** when i said "details" I was referring to basically anything: type of software, size, purpose, whether or not it needs network connection, whether or not it contains logging in (username password, etc) requirement, etc.

The following solution for current situation (quoted error above) works only partially:

http://www.sysprobs.com/simple-tip-h...thout-software

I am able to open/run/mount IMG if I do what is described on this link (im basically opening iso in this case - see the website) but when opening the virtual drive, the following error message proves that the file can be used in linux/ubuntu only:

"Windows cannot access that drive. Drive could be corrupted. Make sure the drive is in condition that can be recognized by Windows. If drive isn't formatted then format it before usage."

Would need detailed instructions, for total beginner, who has never used linux/ubuntu, what to do in such case: how to use in win8 files/software that are supposted to be used in linux/ubuntu. Also answer on how to open IMG would be highly appreciated.

Kindest regards and thank you a million in advance.

Hello.
How can I write an Script that enter my password for "sudo" command automatically?
for example, I want to run a command that need root permission and when I write it in a bash script, it ask me "sudo" password for user but how can I automate it?
Can it possible for other program like logging via SSH too?

Thank you.
