How To Install Programs In Ubuntu Hardy Heron

How To Install Programs In Ubuntu

Ubuntu is very different than Windows as far as installing programs.

Most of the time, installing programs in Ubuntu is very very easy.

Applications > Add/Remove... >

Choose:

Supported Applications, All Open Source Applications, Third Party Applications or All Available Applications.

Then add a check to the check box of the application you want to install, click Apply Changes and then Apply and type you password and click Close.

Adding programs does not get much easier than this.

To remove a program un-check the check box.

NOTE: VitalBodies suggests not choosing All Available Applications and third party applications until you have more experience managing and maintaining Ubuntu. In fact, if you are really new, you might want to use only Supported Applications until you are really up and running. See the Final Note (below) for more info.

What if the program you want to install is not on the list?

In short, here are the main ways to add programs:

ADDING PROGRAMS TO UBUNTU:

Windows Programs:
- How To Install A Windows Program In Ubuntu Hardy Heron
DEB Packages (Debian or Ubuntu):
- apt-get in Ubuntu Hardy Heron
- aptitude Help on Ubuntu Hardy Heron
- dpkg Help On Ubuntu Hardy Heron
- Synaptic Package Manager:
  - System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.
Finding DEB Packages:

FrostWire... Cliente P2P totalmente LIBRE

inforux — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 04:02:33 +0000

Los que venimos de winwdow, siempre hechamos de menos algunas aplicaciones, tal es asi como el famoso "ARES", en Software Libre existen varios aplicativos P2P, tal es el caso de FrostWire.

FrostWire es Software Libre, escrito en JAVA, por ello inicialmente debemos instalar java. OJO solo basta con instalar el JRE, no es necesario tener instalado el JDK.

Entonces, sabiendo q es frostWire y en q esta escrito, pasamos a instalarlo.

1.- Debemos instalar el JRE, hay un post anterior donde mencione como hacerlo.

2.-Nos bajamos el instalador de la pagina ofical de Froswire. (es una archovos.deb), ojo, para los q tienen AMD64, es el mismo instalador, recueden q esta hecho en java...jejee

3.- Pasamos a instalarlo:

$su
# dpkg -i frostwire-4.17.0.i586.deb

4.- Listo, ya esta, pueden ejecutarlo desde la terminal

$ froswire

Aqui, ulgunos pantallasos.

Es un gemelo de LimeWire, soloq no pagas por la version PRO.

Un saludo.

Getting help with Xubuntu

Vincent — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 11:00:11 +0000

Even though I'd very much like to say the opposite, most people will probably need help with Xubuntu at some point. Luckily, it is quite easy to find help - you just need to know where to look.

First of all, you need to determine what kind of problem you are having.

Getting started

If you are new to Xubuntu, you will want to read the excellent Xubuntu documentation, that is also shipped with Xubuntu (in version 8.04 it is located under /usr/share/xubuntu-docs/index.html). It should be your first stop when trying to figure out how to connect to the internet, how to install applications, and similar basic tasks. All this thanks to the huge, voluntary efforts of the Xubuntu Documentation Team (you can also help out with the Xubuntu documentation yourself!).

Of course, if you want to perform slightly more advanced tasks, such as setting up periodical backups on Xubuntu, the internet is your friend. There are a lot of great resources on the internet that can help you with anything from installing Xubuntu on the Eee PC to browsing Windows network shares with Thunar. However, be sure to double-check which version of Xubuntu the guide is written for. For example, the post on browsing Windows network shares I just linked to is, at the time of writing, a little outdated and contains unnecessary steps.

It is also safest to look for articles written specifically targeting Xubuntu - tutorials aiming at Ubuntu users will often work as well, articles targeting just "Linux" are less likely to result in success.

When you can't find the answer

If you've spent time roaming the dark alleys of the internet, spit through every last bit of Xubuntu's official documentation, but still don't have an answer, there are a number of support options.

One requirement for all these options is that you specify as much information as possible. This includes, but needn't be limited to, the fact that you're running/wanting to run Xubuntu, which version of Xubuntu you're running, what you're problem is, what the expected result is, and perhaps how proficient you are with Xubuntu. This allows other people to help you in the best possible way.

The xubuntu-users mailinglist is, well, a mailinglist for Xubuntu users. All messages sent to a certain email address (xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com in the case of xubuntu-users) will be delivered to everybody who has subscribed to that mailinglist. Thus, if you need help with Xubuntu, you can subscribe to that mailinglist, send an email to that address explaining your problem, and perhaps the next time you check your email, the answer is waiting for you.

You might not have the patience to wait for people to respond, however. If that is the case, fear no more, as IRC comes to the rescue! IRC is a way of being able to communicate in real time with other people - in other words, a chatbox. First you need an application to talk IRC - Xchat, DarkIRC, whatever, it shouldn't really matter. Using your IRC client, you need to connect to a network - FreeNode (on irc.freenode.net) in this case. Once you're connected to the network, you need to join the appropriate chatroom (how old-school is that?) - the Xubuntu support room (or channel in IRC lingo) is #xubuntu. You can join by typing /join #xubuntu.

Once you're in - ask away! Be sure to be polite, not to spam the channel, and realize that, if nobody answers, probably nobody knows. Don't ask the same question over and over again.

It is no secret, however, that the Xubuntu community is not quite the size of the Ubuntu community. Luckily, many people in the Ubuntu community can also help you with your Xubuntu problems if nobody in the Xubuntu community can. The place to get help from the Ubuntu community is the Ubuntu forums. With a very large amount of active members, your question is very likely to find an answer here.

Another place to get help is at Launchpad answers, which is part of Launchpad, a project management website where Ubuntu is managed. Here, you'll be more likely to find developers, who are most likely to be able to help you.

When there is no answer

Even with this vast range of support options, some problems are just errors in the software - so called bugs. These can be reported at bugs.ubuntu.com, where a developer can look at it and, if you're lucky, provide a fix for you and other users to enjoy.

Conclusion

Of course, there will still be times when no answer can be found. However, after having read this article, you'll hopefully be able to better find help yourself. And of course, if you cannot find help, feel free to ask me - I may not be able to provide an answer, but I might be able to give you some pointers.

My Ubuntu Desktop

Just a wee post of a previous Ubuntu desktop - I've moved on from this one.

Select Dell Computers Now Available With LINUX..... Take That Microsoft!

itnerd — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:46:50 +0000

This news must make Ballmer want to pick up a chair and throw it across his office.

According to the Direct2Dell website, the dudes at Dell have announced that you can get the Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) flavor of LINUX on the XPS M1330N and Inspiron 1525N notebooks as well as the Inspiron 530N desktop. But apparently there's more coming:

"In early August, we will also add the XPS M1530n and Studio 15n to the line-up. This is just in time for LinuxWorld where we will participate in a number of the conference sessions. That will be your chance to hear directly about what’s been accomplished over the last year and where we see it going in 2009."

It's nice to see a mainstream computer company step up to the plate and support LINUX. But I do have one question. Right now if I phone Dell, they are versed in the hardware and supporting the Windows install that comes with it. Will the same hold true for LINUX? After all, you'll likely to attract some LINUX newbies who don't know a bash shell from a DOS prompt. They're likely to require more hand holding than the average Windows user. My feeling is yes, but I'd love to know for sure. Anyone from Dell care to comment as I do know that people from Dell read my blog?

Setting up the hostname at ubuntu so that apache does not complain about server's domain name

ktogias — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:40:52 +0000

When setting up LAMP on ubuntu 8.04 I noticed that apache was producing this warning when started:

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

After some googling I found out the way to setup the machines hostname so that apache does not produce this warning.

Set the machine's hostname to that resolved to its ip and edit /etc/hosts file and make it look like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
[ethernet interface ip] [full hostname with the domain] [hostname]

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
[ipv6 related lines - leave unchanged]

eg. if your ip is 1.2.3.4 and the domain name for this ip is mypc.example.com you have to set your hostmname to mypc and edit /etc/hosts like this:

127.0.0.1     localhost.localdomain localhost
1.2.3.4        mypc.example.com mypc

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Membuat Repository Ubuntu Lokal

sebastianroedifa — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:15:11 +0000

Repository lokal di bangun menggunakan FTP server menggunakan vsftpd. Beberapa langkah awal untuk menyiapkan FTP server maupun home directory-nya adalah sebagai berikut

# apt-get install vsftpd
# chown -Rf root.root /home/ftp
# /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
# mkdir /home/ftp/pub
# chown -Rf ftp.nogroup /home/ftp/pub

Logika membuat repository lokal sangat mudah, yaitu

* buat iso dari masing-masing DVD
* buat directory untuk mount masing-masing iso DVD di home FTP
* mount iso ke folder yang di sediakan
* edit /etc/apt/sources.list sesuai dengan lokasinya

Untuk penggunaan dalam jaringan / LAN kita perlu mengedit /etc/apt/sources.list menjadi misalnya

deb ftp://ip-server/pub/folder-iso

Operating System Selection

carsonb — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:45:40 +0000

Now that the server has been delivered, care of the wonderful men and women at NCIX, and delivered by the people who don't make left-hand turns, I'll describe what operating system I have selected the server, as well as the other options available to me. Note that, to be fair, I have included Windows, but only for comparison purposes; I would never actually run a Windows server by choice.

Essentially, what I'm looking for first is excellent hardware support. This immediately clears out the options of compiling a custom operating system, a BSD system, or OpenSolaris, though both are good, robust, and reliable systems.

This now reduces the set of choices to three (but technically two) operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Debian-based Linux, and Red Hat-based Linux.

The reasons for not choosing Windows should be obvious, especially so for you, my dear reader. Despite this, Windows continues to be chosen again and again by consumer and business alike. The hardware support (achieved rather imfamously) is really the only reason why this operating system is listed. Anything else Microsoft Windows can do has been supported for years in UNIX-based systems.

For me, the choice between different Linux operating systems have either been Red Hat-based (using RPM packages) and Debian-based (using deb packages). Between these two choices, I have found CentOS and Ubuntu to be the most popular, and most supported.

CentOS, being a binary clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, offers a more commercial avenue for an operating system. Using a more stable version as opposed to bleeding edge has both advantages and disadvantages. However, what makes Ubuntu stand out is the sizable user community, and the extremely large repositories of programs.

While the server is ultimately Ubuntu-bound, simply for the reasons listed above, I would like to make a note that each of the operating systems compared are all valid choices.

Ubuntu, the leading Linux distribution at the time of this writing has two versions: a desktop version, and a server version. This blog's server will be running the server version, which by default has no graphical interface. In further posts, I will include command-line arguments, and useful command-line programs. If you wish to follow along with your own computer, this is probably not the best place to start with Linux. For that, I encourage you to frequent community forums and documentation. For anyone who's already got a handle on Linux's CLI, you might pick up a few useful tips from later posts.

In the next few posts, I will detail the assembly and installation of the server. Expect photos!

How to install telnet service

blogabooga — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:55:33 +0000

TELNET is a client-server protocol, based on a reliable connection-oriented transport. Typically this protocol used to establish a connection to TCP port 23, where a getty-equivalent program (telnetd) is listening, although TELNET predates TCP/IP and was originally run on NCP.

Install telnetd server
$ sudo apt-get install telnetd

Restart inetd service:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart

You should now be able to telnet to the server from Windows or Linux desktop system to Ubuntu Linux telnet server. Type the following command to connect to
Telnet server:

$ telnet ubuntu-linux-server-ip
$ telnet 192.168.1.200
$ telnet ubuntu.domain.com

Não Quer Pagar Por Um Windows Original? Tem O Ubuntu!

Fe. Køs - Designer Digital — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:08:03 +0000

Se você não quer pagar caro por um Windows novo ou ainda tiver comprado um computador sem o XP ou Vista ou mesmo quiser testar um sistema operacional novo e diferente, o Ubuntu é uma boa pedida!

No meu caso, eu sempre quis testar um software livre para conhecer as novas tendências mas nunca tive coragem de testar sem um conhecimento maior. Já ouvi falar que na hora que é feita a instalação, ele cria pelo menos 2 repartições e complica o computador na hora de formatar. Então decidi esperar um pouco mais uma notícia de quem conhecia sobre o assunto para seguir a diante.

Assim, encontrei no site da UOL Tecnologia uma informação mais concreta a respeito da instação e de seu início, então decidi colocar aqui para ajudar à todos!

O custo de uma licença de Windows é um dos principais motivos que levam os usuários a recorrerem a cópias piratas. Para se ter uma idéia, a versão Vista Home Basic original custa atualmente R$ 500,00. No Brasil, 59% de todos os programas são piratas, de acordo com o 5º Estudo Anual Global de Pirataria de Software da Abes/BSA.

No entanto, é possível sair da ilegalidade experimentando uma distribuição do Linux com recursos semelhantes ao do sistema da Microsoft: o Ubuntu. O sistema operacional, baseado em software livre, é relativamente fácil de usar e gratuito.

Por ter código aberto, há muita gente desenvolvendo diferentes aplicações para esse sistema, o que aumenta as opções de aplicativos, inclusive alguns que são habitualmente usados no Windows. O grande número de desenvolvedores também serve para agilizar a correção de bugs e a atualização dos programas.

Quem não estiver disposto a uma mudança brusca de sistema operacional, pode se adaptar aos poucos usando o Wubi, um programa que permite instalar o Ubuntu como mais um software dentro do Windows. A única desvantagem é que ele ocupa cerca de 10 GB do disco.

Confira algumas dicas para instalar aplicações e interagir com o sistema com mais facilidade:

Como instalar um programa usando o Terminal

Um dos meios para instalar os programas quando eles não estão na lista é usar o terminal, que pode ser encontrado em Aplicações > Acessórios.

É uma tela preta parecida com o MS-DOS (para quem conheceu) —lembra os antigos computadores de tela de fósforo por conta de letras verdes. Aí, deverá ser digitado o seguinte código:

sudo apt-get install NOME DO PROGRAMA

Será solicitada, então, a senha do sistema. A partir daí, o sistema irá buscar o programa na Internet e sugerir os pacotes.

Então, o programa empacotado (como em arquivos zipados) será baixado, desempacotado e instalado automaticamente. O processo é bem rápido, porque os programas não costumam ter muito mais de 1 MB.

Logitech Quickcam on Ubuntu

brightstar22 — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 01:59:13 +0000

Saat melihat ke meja, saya melihat ada webcam yang nganggur, akhirnya timbul keinginan untuk meng-install webcam tersebut di mesin Ubuntu.
Saya menggunakan Logitech Quickcam IM dan di mesin Ubuntu 7.10, seharusnya dapat digunakan di distro lain dengan cara yang sama.

Ok, langsung saja, berikut ini adalah langkah - langkah untuk meng-install web cam :
1. Download driver webcam untuk Linux di http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/

2. Extract hasil download tadi :
$ tar zxvf qc-usb-X.XX.tar.gz

3. Masuk ke direktori hasil extract tadi :
$ cd ~/[path]/qc-usb-X.XX/

4. Jalankan perintah make :
$ make

5. Setelah melakukan langkah 4, jalankan file quickcam.sh :
$ ./quickcam.sh

6. Ikuti langkah - langkah yang ada, karena script di atas ini seperti wizard, tekan Ctrl+C jika anda mau menggagalkan instalasi dan tekan Enter untuk melanjutkan ke proses - proses berikutnya.
Pada saat saya melakukan instalasi ini, script melaporkan bahwa tidak ada webcam yang tertancap di PC saya, tapi dengan proses lsusb saya menemukan webcam saya.
Jadi dengan nekat saya lanjutkan proses instalasi ini terus, mungkin di tempat anda belum tentu sama dengan tempat saya.

7. Saat instalasi hampir selesai, secara otomatis script akan meng-test webcam dengan aplikasi xawtv, perhatikan command yang dijalankan disini, karena di tempat saya jika xawtv dijalankan tidak bisa (dengan alasan insufficient resource), command yang muncul ini istilahnya untuk menjalankan aplikasi xawtv by force.

8. Jika saat komputer di-reboot dan webcam tidak bisa jalan, coba jalankan perintah ini :
# modprobe quickcam
Jika langkah diatas berhasil, maka anda bisa membuatkan startup script agar menjalankan perintah ini setiap kali komputer boot.

9. Setelah proses instalasi selesai, anda bisa mencoba webcam anda dengan aplikasi xawtv dengan command berikut :
$ xawtv -noscale -noxv -c ""

Selamat anda telah berhasil meng-install webcam anda di mesin Linux :D

Alliteration Anger

fostergrant — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 01:11:05 +0000

Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux OS kernel, has found a new way to get attention for his life's work --- use alliteration to upset others.

In a missive on the Linux kernel developers' mailing lists Thursday, he called OpenBSD fans "masturbating monkeys" who focus on security "to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them." Today in the same venue (but quoted from a different site because ... well, that's where I found it first), he poked fun at Digg users: "PS. And to get wider distribution for this message: Digg users - you're all a bunch of Wanking Walruses. And you can quote me on that." That got him 1071 Diggs ... or over 400 less than the OpenBSD comment received.

Wanking Walrus ... gods, don't let Mark Shuttleworth hear that or he'll use that for the April 2009 release of Ubuntu.

Howto: rsync SSH Configuration for backuppc

dedors — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 00:32:14 +0000

It's a little diffrent from normal SSH connection, so i post it as stand-alone howto. I use here [LAPTOPUSER] as client username, and has to be replaced in the commands.

Server-Side:
Generate a public/private key on the server machine in /home/backuppc/.ssh/laptop & Generate a public/private key on the client machine in /home/$USER/.ssh/laptop. Replace [LAPTOPUSER]

sudo su backuppc
cd ~
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/laptop2
scp ~/.ssh/laptop2.pub [LAPTOPUSER]@192.168.0.11:~/

Create the folder ‘.ssh’ if it doesn’t exist and configure the public key to OpenSSH’s liking. Replace [LAPTOPUSER]

ssh [LAPTOPUSER]@192.168.0.11
if [ ! -d .ssh ]; then mkdir .ssh ; chmod 700 .ssh ; fi ; mv laptop2.pub .ssh/ ; cd .ssh/ ; if [ ! -f authorized_keys ]; then touch authorized_keys ; chmod 600 authorized_keys ; fi ; cat laptop2.pub >> authorized_keys ; rm laptop2.pub;
exit

Test if you can connect without being prompted for a password, but you should have to enter the passphrase

ssh -i ~/.ssh/laptop2 [LAPTOPUSER]@192.168.0.11

Manually Rsync via SSH

rsync -avrz   $USER@laptop:/home/$USER/ -i ~/.ssh/laptop2

Edit backuppc settings:

type: rsync
rsyncclientcmd: replace root with [LAPTOPUSERNAME] and add -i ~/.ssh/laptop2

that should work and backup with your clients username

Building UFRaw on Ubuntu

aslakjohansen — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 00:07:38 +0000

UFRaw is a free converter for RAW images. Like so many others it is based on DCRaw. The latest official release is from late 2007. This is more or less what is provided by Ubuntu.

The current CVS holds a few interesting additions, most noticeable the use of lensfun for doing lens corrections. There is a demo.

The following steps made the CVS compile for me. The result will be placed within the confines of /opt/ufraw-cvs/ and dpkg.

First we need to get the lensfun packages. I found some at this location. Add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list (use su to become a privileged user):

# lensfun deb http://mirror.pcode.nl/ubuntu/ hardy lensfun

Next, install needed deb packages:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install lensfun-data lensfun-manual liblensfun0 liblensfun0-dev sudo apt-get install libgtkimageview-dev libgtkimageview0

In case you don’t have a /opt directory:

sudo mkdir /opt

Then build the programs:

cd /tmp cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ufraw.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ufraw login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ufraw.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ufraw co ufraw cd ufraw ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/opt/ufraw-cvs make sudo make install

And you should then be able to run UFRaw:

/opt/ufraw-cvs/bin/ufraw

Bredbandsbolaget Box under Ubuntu

thanius — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:23:06 +0000

Som ni BBB-kunder kanske redan vet så har ni tillgång till 10 GB lagringsutrymme på nätet inbakat i ert konto. Vill ni kunna använda detta konto som en nätverksenhet i Ubuntu? Kolla då här!

Installera WebDav-filsystemet, öppna upp en terminal och skriv in:
sudo apt-get install davfs2
Logga in på Bredbandsbolagets webmailklient, klicka på lagring och sen egenskaper under "Mina filer". Notera ned URL-adressen.
Öppna upp /etc/fstab och lägg till nedanstående rad längst ned i filen
$URL-adress $MONTERINGSPUNKT davfs rw,user,nolocks,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0
Där $URL-adress är den som stod under "Mina filer", t.ex. http://files1.bredband.net/cpuser_x123456/ och $MONTERINGSPUNKT den katalog du vill montera under som t.ex. /media/box. Notera att allt ska stå på en rad.
Öppna upp filen /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf som root och skriv in eller ändra:
dav_group davfs
dav_user root
Skapa en användargrupp som heter davfs och lägg in den användare som ska ha skrivtillgång samt root-användaren
Slutligen, öppna upp /etc/davfs2/secrets och skriv in:
$URL-adress $användarnamn $lösenord
T.ex. http://files1.bredband.net/cpuser_x123456 användare@bredband.net lösenord
Montera enheten genom att skriva mount /media/box i terminalen som root eller starta om datorn.
