Installed Ubuntu And Cant Install Web Server

I just recently installed a server version of the Ubuntu distribution of linux and i can't seem to get the web and file services running any thoughts

i installed ns2 using following 4 commands
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ns2
sudo apt-get install nam
sudo apt-get install tcl
sudo apt-get install xgraph

on ubuntu 12.04

but how to know that which version of ns2 is installed???????

imac 5,1 core 2 duo
i have only been able to install ubuntu 11.4 which means that my wireless network doesnt work, it says device not ready, firmware missing.
how do i install ubuntu latest version using the terminal because the apple bios???? wont allow me to mount the iso file. what script do i need to get it installed via the terminal ?

ive managed 11.4 but its not support4d anymore. imac core duo has notorius problems with linux

I am working on LAR protocol, ns2 version = 2.32
OS = ubuntu 12.04

i successfully installed LAR NS on my system . but nam does not qork with ns-2.32 . so i tried to install with the following command

sudo make install nam ===> it successfully installed namv1.15 . but when i run box.tcl it is giving me the following error

SORTING LISTS ...DONE!
channel.cc:sendUp - Calc highestAntennaZ_ and distCST_
highestAntennaZ_ = 1.5, distCST_ = 220.0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

then i tried to remove the nam with this command sudo apt-get remove nam ==> removed
then i installed this nam from (nam_1.14_amd64.deb) . when i write nam it shows me network animator window v1.14 but segmentataion fault error remains the same .

I also tried to install nam-1.14.i586.tar.gz , first untar it and then the following command sudo cp nam /usr/local/bin but still the error .
i also tried with nam-1.14-x86_64.tar.gz but still no success.

if i dont use nam , then my box file runs successfully.
plz suggest me how to rectify this error.

i am a musician so i wanted to install ubuntu studio to see what it was like. It said i needed to download the iso file and burn it to dvd. i did that. now it says that I should reboot the computer and it will start from the disk for a fresh install of my whole system. is this right? i only wanted a program not my sytem rebooted and re installed. does ubuntu do this each time you install a program? jesus!

I am new to Linux and am trying to Install Ubuntu Server. The software loaded without a hitch but when I try to install, it stops at the following:
'Random: nonblocking pool is initalized' I don't know what this means or how to correct whatever is wrong. Any assistance would be very greatfully received. Thanks

hello, I changed ubuntu 11 to ubuntu 14.10.

At the time of installation, I chose only open ssh for installation and I installed successfully.
now, I have not apache2, because when I typed
Code:

 sudo apt-get install apache2

I see:
Code:

Unable to locate package apache2

It is clear I have not apache2.now,I want to connect in internet and install it.

thanks.

hello all at linuxquestions

first off would just like to say how useful this resource is, Ive been setting up a VM server in lubuntu recently and this site has given me alot of help and helped me get it off the ground. Im certainly a linux noob and only been messing around in linux for a week, so please forgive me for any derpy terminology

anyway, I installed lubuntu onto a VM as an intention to use it as a server
to be honest it was an ISO I had lying around and due to it being "light" I just went for it

however I have since discovered ubuntu do a flavour known as "ubuntu server"

first off..
what is the difference between ubuntu server and regular ubuntu/lubuntu etc?
is it just that it does not load a full fat gui?
if there is a big diffrence would it be easy to "turn" lubuntu into ubuntu server? since they are sort of based off each other?

secondly, lubuntu loads up lxde upon boot, I was wondering if there was a way for it to just boot up without the gui with the option to turn it on via shell (startx etc)
this is because I have little ram to play with but I also like to use the GUI sometimes when needing to do certain admin stuff, for example I use steam via Wine to download steam games sometimes

I was pondering the idea of installing ubuntu server and then downloading the lxde desktop and going that route, but Im not sure if it would bring any benefit opposed to just modifiying my current lubuntu installation

any advise or tips would be welcome

thanks!

Just installed unbuntu version 4.3.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu). Wanted to set up another monitor with an usb vga adapter from j5create. Found this post http://how-to.cc/get-a-displaylink-v...h-ubuntu-12-04. Installed apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-displaylink -> got no green screen on reboot. Created X configuration file...nothing. Looked around some websites were telling me to install: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg got:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

First time I am trying Unbuntu getting already a little frustrated

Hi everyone!

Having read about the latest LibreOffice version, I felt tempted to try it out. I uninstalled the default version on my Ubuntu machine and downloaded the .deb from the LibreOffice site and installed it. The new office has since worked without any trouble.

A few days later I decided to dump Unity and go back to Gnome. So I installed Ubuntu-Gnome-Desktop.

It was then that I noticed two versions of LibreOffice on the application dash (I think, because there are two sets of icons for each office application- see the attached screenshot).

Did Gnome install its own version of LibreOffice with it? Does it really have one? I don't know.

Whichever icon I use to launch the app, the office however always brings up the latest version. So, there's no problem in terms of application errors. As I thought there's no need to have an extra version of an app and eat up my space, I tried to uninstall through Aptitude, but it doesn't 'remove' LibreOffice.

Any advice, please! Thanks in advance.
