yum is mostly for RPM based distribution, ubuntu comes with apt-get ... i think the main issue with the TS problem is the repositories ... if u dun get the repositories rite u cant find the application that u need...

like mokona say, try updating your application list, go to console terminal: -

sudo apt-get update - and grab the latest list

but synaptic package manager is the easiest way to get the application that u need, at least for me ...

and remember to keep ur system updated frequently

to go to add additional repositories: -

Synaptic Package Manager -> Settings -> Repositories

-> Select Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (binary) -> Edit -> Mark all the Components in the Channel

This is give u more application and most of the needed one....

but how bout dis prob??

Hi folks,

I'm a newbie to linux. I have some litte experience with linux RH b4; but havent try to install linux to my own PC.
I plan to install Ubuntu into my PC now; I only want to install the Ubuntu console (I dont want Ubuntu GUI!!). how to do that???
Currently, i'm running windows in C & D drive. I would like to install Ubuntu into E drive of my PC. how to make it ???

thanks

since u r newbie, i recomend u play with live cd first. ubuntu got live.

since u need console only, do try puppy or damn small.

With alternate or desktop CD, select Server Install. Done.
Or download the server CD and go for the default install.

Btw, Linux sees partition differently. You cannot install into your FAT32/FAT16 partition (unless your kernel has UMSDOS, which does not exists, by default in most current distros kernels). You must installed GNU/Linux onto a partition with supported Filesystem format, like ext2/3, ReiserFS or XFS. In fact, Linux support many filesystems types.

Put it in a simple way, you cannot install GNU/Linux onto drive E:, because the Linux kernel doesn't know what is "drive E:".

Server Install == only install console ??

Yes... server install, means basic install without X server or desktop or any window manager.

when i try to login, after i key in my user name and password.
the msg propmt out....
and it make me cannot login to my account.
any one know what is the problem and how to fix it?

i am using Ubuntu 6.06


the msg:
User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the session and language from being saved.File should be own by user and has 644 permissions. User's $HOME dicrectory must be owned by user and not writable by other users.


my solution:
boot to reconvery CLI mode, then type those command in the user's HOME directory.
ls .dmrc -l

and i found the permission is set to 600
then i try to change it to 644 by "chmod 644 .dmrc",however
the error still there.. so how to solve it.... all the expert pls... :'(

how come thatt error happen in the first place??

i have no idea on such problem..
user to chmod or root to chmod??
any user group?
the home directory write / mod status is??

The solution given is pretty obvious.

Before doing chmod, first you must do chown to change the owner of the file/directory to the correct user:group.
Then only you chmod it to 644.

Look closely, it says "directory", not "file".

So probably you need to do chown and chmod the directory, and also the .dmrc file. Putting a -R switch there might be better when doing the directory.

That's all for now.
Cheers!

I have no idea why it happen also... haha

the owner is the user for sure i had checked that, but the msg i dun understand is "the file $HOME/.dmrc is being ignored", what this means?

Sounds like the .dmrc file could not be read, or the permissions is wrong.
But to fix this, it requires some trial and error after all.
I've heard about this *bug* before....
Lots of solution out there.

Can't contribute much as my Ubuntu Server 6.06 doesn't have this problem..
Oh well.
