Hi, I'm trying to run the game Galactic Civilizations [http:// www.galciv1.com/] on my Ubuntu 6.10 system. Setup seemed to run fine, but running "wine galciv.exe" shows the initial videos (Strategy First splash, Stardock splash, game FMV intro), but then the screen flashes and crashes to the desktop, with desktop resolution changed to 1024x768 (usually 1280x1024). I'm guessing

Can Synaptic be used successfully on CentOS 4.4 instead of YumEx ? Are there any issues using Synaptic with the CentOS 4.4 repositories ?

If I'm not mistaken, that's sort of local polynomial with even degree and fixed bandwidth (based on my own interpretation of description in Numerical Recipes). You can do that with functions in the KernSmooth package.

Since upgrading to quantal, I find that synaptic and apt-get cannot read the sources.list file if it includes the previously standard line deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/ubuntu/ quantal This line makes apt-get or synaptic give an error message identifying this line as having a syntax error. If "multiverse" is added at the end of the line, the line is parsed, but then

Hello, There was no problem installing "APT" package in CentOS 4.0 Beta, but so far I could not install APT or Synaptic by "# yum install apt" or by "# yum install synaptic" in a usual manner. Is there any solution for this? It seems to me, something is wrong only for these two packages. Regards.

Dear R-users, I'm using Ubuntu dapper, which only have R of Version 2.2.1. Would anybody tell me how to install the latest version of R with Synaptic in Ubuntu dapper system. Thanks!

Dear List I use synaptic to download R on my Ubuntu 10.10. It seems latest version of R on Ubuntu is 2.11.1 Even when I use debian.cran.r-project.org to update my packages the problem remains (latest versions on CRAN are almost always 2 updates ahead of Debian packages) This is also true for a lot of other packages as well My specific problem is while I can use sudo apt-get to update packages

I am a complete linux noob and I've downloaded and extracted wine and winetools... but when I got to the install application on wine and try to open it, nothing happens. Could someone help me install wine?

I don't mind using sudo apt-get update/upgrade/install buit I get into crazy loops (hours) that clearly can't be trusted. But when I use Synaptic (reload/mark for install R-base) every time I get some list of things things it want to install as well and syas "Mark" which it does not do and when I go forward with the Synaptic install of R-base I get this (and abort) every time:

Greetings, I've been trying to upgrade R packages on my Debian Etch (whose other upgrades I have been cheerfully going along with as they occur). When I did, just now: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I got: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages have been kept back: r-base-core r-cran-boot r-cran-cluster

I've installed Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy on my Mac. When using MacOSX, I used to work with R 2.2.1, but now, with Ubuntu, I can't download it with synaptic. I can only download R 2.1.1-1, and I really need 2.2.1. I've tried to edit the sources.list file, typing deb http://cran.R-projet.org/bin/linux/debian stable/ R/r, using a different mirror,... but when I run synaptic, it says: W:

Some notes on installing rgeos in R 2.14.0 on a Linux Mint 11 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) machine 1. rgeos 0.1-15 will not run with GEOS 3.2.0-1, which is the version currently available on Synaptic package manager 2. I installed GEOS 3.3.1 (the latest version) from http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/, but rgeos will not run with this either 3. I then install GEOS 3.2.3, and now rgeos works fine! It seems

Hi, I am relatively new to Linux but know what I'm doing. I have installed Ubuntu and WinE (through synaptic package manager so it took the latest stable version, 1.0.1) Warcraft III worked perfectly in this version. But GGClient (also known as Garena, a program used to play low-latency games with others on the internet through a VPN) does not work in this version of WinE. So I looked it up,

I had an exchange of ideas on this with Dirk E. a couple of months ago. He can correct this if I state it wrongly, but 1) we agreed that using apt/Synaptic structure was best, but sometimes the packages are not available 2) also that using install.packages when there is a .deb can lead to some "confusion" (the package database on the local system does not know about an R package

I want to install Rmagick on Ubuntu 7.10, but i am getting this error when running gem install rmagick: Can''t install RMagick 2.2.0. You must have ImageMagick 6.3.0 or later. (I installed imagemagick and libmagick9-dev prior to that) I installed rmagick through Synaptic, and it says that i have version 7:6.2.4.5.dfsg1-2ubuntu1 installed (by the way, what does the 7 mean?).
