I am new to ubuntu, but have used R for years on Fedora. I have a simple question that I do not quite understand. I first installed R from the ubuntu repository (2.6.2 I believe it was--whatever is current there) before finding the debian/ubuntu SIG here when searching for R 2.7.1. Subsequently I upgraded to 2.7.1 using the instructions at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/. I am

I have successfully installed Sonos 2.8 using Ubuntu 9.04 and Wine 1.1.22 on my wireless Dell Inspiron laptop and an old dual boot Dell Dimension desktop. The Sonos Desktop Controller software was installed on the dual boot Unbuntu side as well as the Windows XP Pro side. Software works fine on both machines. However when I try to install Sonos 2.8 on my primary wired Dell XPS desktop, the

In Unbuntu 9.10 synaptic package manager, why are wine1.2 and wine listed separately in such a way that one or the other can be installed but not both? Both indicate newest version is 1.1.38. What is different between them and how should I choose? Thanks,

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:

I'm a Linux noob. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and understand that, in order to get FEAR to run, I need to remove Wine 1.0, download the source and a patch and then recompile Wine. I have no idea how to do this. The How To section on the AppsDB makes assumptions that you know what to do already. Where can I find an explanation of the process? I've had no luck searching probably because I

E.g. btrfsctl -r -4000m /dev/sda5 results in: ioctl:: Inappropriate ioctl for device Distribution: Ubuntu 10.10 Kernel: 2.6.35-22-generic According to the Synaptic Package manager, the version of btrfs-tools is 0.19+20100601-3 Other information that can be of interest: - I started Ubuntu on a live CD - before invoking the btrfsctl command I invoked apt-get update. I have googled but have not

how to install CentOS 5.6 i386 from livecd? Really dumb question I know :-) Hmm I know iI've done this in earlier releases on CentOS... Please point me to the right place in the wiki or faq to shame me... Thanks, Ken Wolcott

I've just installed v6.3 as a desktop (from Centos-6.3-i386-LiveCD.iso) and to get the hang of the Centos approach and then hope to move on to a server. I've been using linux *buntu for 5 years. Hope i don't sound like a nit but i've got a little confused with the repos. Hoping someone would be kind enough just to clarify. This installation is for stability whilst installing the

Hi, I have downloaded the following version: CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso from the mirror: http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/ What I want to ask is that 'Release2' is the complete OS and after installation we can use 'yum update'. So at first, is it enough (as I am not going to download the complete set of 7 CDs)? -- Regards, Parshwa Murdia Making the simple

Is there any particular distro that seems to be most used among RoR developers on Linux? Any that might provide better support somehow for development of RoR apps? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have just upgraded Ubuntu to 10.04 and I went to update the Wine repository to match.

Been trying to get this to go but nongo :-). I'm asking for some guidance especially if I should not be doing this on an RT kernel. I've installed what is supposed to be all of the requred deps. Some factors that may be adding to my problem are: 1. this is only a test.. it's a 32bit guest OS running in VMware under a 64 bit windows host.. (although I'be compiled it on other

I am using: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu as an additional repository in Synaptic so I can use the latest (released) version of wine, 1.5. Today, with the wine 1.5.5 update, I can no longer run World of Warcraft, so I'd like to revert to the 1.5.4 version until the latest released version works. Unfortunately, I can't force Synaptic to use 1.5.4 (perhaps because the

Hey Everyone, I was looking at the App Database : http://appdb.winehq.org/ I was wondering if the rankings for Guild Wars (Platinum) and Everquest (Gold) and other programs etc. were applicable to the Mac OS X platform as well as Ubuntu Linux.
