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