| sahmed | I have a question about installing .tar.gz files in Kubuntu. | 14:38 |
| hobgoblin | ask it then :) | 14:41 |
| sahmed | how do I install it | 14:51 |
| sahmed | :) | 14:51 |
| sahmed | I have synaptic file manager but not sure how I can use that to install the package | 14:52 |
| hobgoblin | hi sahmed - sorry was afk | 15:00 |
| hobgoblin | you need to extract it and then it depends what is in the extracted folder as to what you need to do next | 15:01 |
| hobgoblin | what is it you are trying to install | 15:01 |
| hobgoblin | synaptic will not be of any use with a tarball | 15:01 |
| sahmed | I am trying to install Cisco AnyConnect that I downloaded from Cisco's website | 15:02 |
| hobgoblin | never heard of it :) | 15:03 |
| hobgoblin | is it a small download sahmed ? if it is give me a link and I'll take a look | 15:04 |
| sahmed | yea its only 3mb...but you have to login to Cisco's website to download the file so I do not have a direct link | 15:05 |
| hobgoblin | oh - ok - so have you extracted it yet? right click extract | 15:06 |
| sahmed | yes i have..i downloaded 2 files...anyconnect-linux-2.5.3055-k9.tar.gz and anyconnect-linux-2.5.3055-vpnapi.tar.gz | 15:07 |
| sahmed | i have extracted both but not sure which one is the main one to use... | 15:08 |
| hobgoblin | neither do I ... | 15:08 |
| hobgoblin | can you use a terminal sahmed | 15:08 |
| sahmed | yes i navigated to the extracted folder with terminal | 15:09 |
| hobgoblin | if you can navigate to each one in turn and do ls | 15:09 |
| sahmed | didn't know what to do after that | 15:09 |
| hobgoblin | then paste the contents to paste.ubuntu.com - put a user name and I'll have a look | 15:09 |
| hobgoblin | not sure I'll be able to help you - but let's look first | 15:09 |
| hobgoblin | then paste the contents to paste.ubuntu.com - put a user name, enter and then give me the new urlk and I'll have a look | 15:10 |
| hobgoblin | sahmed: I will be right back | 15:12 |
| sahmed | Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/825180/ | 15:15 |
| hobgoblin | sahmed: ok in that one there is a vpnfooinstall.sh - while in the correct directory try sh .vpn_in - tab should autocomplete | 15:19 |
| hobgoblin | it might need sudo though | 15:19 |
| sahmed | i did sude su and logged in...by the way what does sudo mean..I know su mean supper user | 15:20 |
| hobgoblin | sahmed: ubuntu does not use su | 15:21 |
| hobgoblin | the su account is disabled | 15:22 |
| sahmed | i typed in sudo su and put in my password | 15:22 |
| sahmed | is that the correct method | 15:22 |
| hobgoblin | you can just sudo command | 15:24 |
| hobgoblin | no need for su at all | 15:24 |
| hobgoblin | sahmed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:24 |
| sahmed | Thanks so you are saying I have to use sudo to install the application? | 15:28 |
| hobgoblin | sahmed: yep - if root is needed then sudo sh vpn_install.sh | 15:28 |
| hobgoblin | but as you said it is possuible you need the other installed first - there are some threads on the forum about this cisco thing | 15:29 |
| sahmed | okay thanks for your help | 15:35 |
| hobgoblin | did it work? | 15:35 |
| sahmed | no i still don't know what to do | 15:38 |
| sahmed | i'll look around on cisco's website | 15:38 |
| hobgoblin | sahmed: did you do sh vpn_install.sh while in the directory or sudo sh vpn_install.sh if it asked for root rights | 15:41 |
| sahmed | oh let me try that | 15:43 |
| sahmed | well i just did sh vpn_install.sh and it asked if i agreed to the licence | 15:43 |
| sahmed | Start the VPN agent.... then said Done! | 15:44 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 15:44 |
| sahmed | but not sure where the install is :) | 15:44 |
| hobgoblin | I'll not be able to help you with the agent itself though I'm afraid | 15:44 |
| hobgoblin | if you did sh and not sudo sh it should be in your /home somewhere | 15:45 |
| sahmed | okay i'll look around | 15:45 |
| sahmed | i found it :) | 15:48 |
| sahmed | after I did sh vpn_install.sh ..i located the vpnui in the folder where all the extracted application were and the UI came up | 15:49 |
| hobgoblin | sahmed: cool - glad I could be of assistance - enjoy ubuntu :) | 15:50 |
| sahmed | Thank you | 15:50 |
| Alexeey17 | hi, i was wondering if there's any way of scanning my comp so that i find out what drivers and what modules i need on the boot dvd | 19:17 |
| Alexeey17 | is there anyone here at all? | 19:18 |
| === ashams_ is now known as ashams | ||
| coalwater | hi Alexeey17 | 19:30 |
| Alexeey17 | hi | 19:31 |
| coalwater | so, what do u mean by scanning | 19:31 |
| Alexeey17 | something like an utility that scans my hardware | 19:32 |
| Alexeey17 | and tells me what i need and what is best | 19:32 |
| coalwater | u just installed a new ubuntu ? or what do u mean, when the system starts the update manager handles all this stuff | 19:33 |
| Alexeey17 | no, i am trying to figure out what version to download and install, and what other drivers i'll be needing, i have xp for the moment | 19:34 |
| coalwater | u wont have an internet connection on the ubuntu pc ? | 19:35 |
| Alexeey17 | i have interenet but it's wireless, and dont know if thats going to work after reinstall | 19:36 |
| Alexeey17 | tho i think i can use a cable untill i find a driver for it | 19:37 |
| coalwater | well u could try using live cd, if it doesnt work then u need to check | 19:37 |
| Alexeey17 | thought of that, downloading one now. and do you think that the last version is going to run smooth on a 1.5ghz celeron m with 512 mb ram toshiba sattellite? | 19:38 |
| coalwater | it should run fine, but u could consider running different desktop versions, like kubuntu or lubuntu, they need less ram | 19:39 |
| Alexeey17 | do those have live cd versions? | 19:39 |
| coalwater | yea | 19:40 |
| Alexeey17 | ok, witch one do you reccomend? | 19:40 |
| coalwater | theres good support for lubuntu | 19:41 |
| coalwater | maybe u could try that | 19:41 |
| Alexeey17 | ok, thanks alot :) cya | 19:42 |
| coalwater | latest lubuntu http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/11.10/release/ | 19:43 |
| Alexeey17 | thnaks :) | 19:49 |
