Problem with yum etc after installing Ubuntu 7.10.....

2008-05-14 Thread Peter Teoh
a.  install ubuntu
b.  apt-get install yum*
c.  apt-get install git

Next I tried "git", I got "command not found", but reattempted to
"apt-get install git" will give me:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# apt-get install git
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
git is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 211 not upgraded.

I tried to yum install some other stuff, I got the following:

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

  No module named cElementTree

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct  5 2007, 13:36:32)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please send this
message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

Can someone help?

First thank you to everyone here...I am new in this Ubuntu.   Firstly
i have two requirements:

a.   I need git to do linux kernel development.
b.   I need flash for my firefox.   So I downloaded the rpm file.

So in Fedora Core, normally I will do "yum install xxx.rpm" where
xxx.rpm is the downloaded flash rpm file from adobe, and yum
automatically will do a recursive download of all dependent packages
and install it at the same time.   "rpm" cannot do that.

Sorry for all these...for flash I think I found the answer in:

http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy

and for the kernel I found it here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide

Ok...problem solvedthank you for the guide on git-core everyone ...etc!

Compiling Ubuntu 7.04's kernel from source

2008-08-05 Thread Peter Teoh
I started compiling the kernel as provided by Ubuntu source ISO and
encountered the following error while compiling:

Not sure how it is related to:

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-518320.html

But my error happened during compilation.   System->Preference->Sound
also does not opened any GUI (a temporary icon "Starting sound"
appeared in the panel below but after sometime it disappeared.

But in /var/log/apport.log there is some info about gnome-sound-properties:

apport (pid 13660) Tue Aug  5 16:24:12 2008: executable:
/usr/bin/gnome-sound-properties (command line
"gnome-sound-properties")
apport (pid 13660) Tue Aug  5 16:24:12 2008: apport: report
/var/crash/_usr_bin_gnome-sound-properties.0.crash already exists and
unseen, doing nothing to avoid disk usage DoS

And the _usr_bin.crash file can be sent if requested/needed.

The system also does not seemed to have any sound at all.except
for those from the pc speaker.

But if I reboot to my other images (eg Fedora Core) there is no
problem - basically machine is ok.

Help please?

I compiled the source codes for Linux Kernel as modified by Ubuntu,
downloaded from the source codes ISO provided.   And the error during
the compilation process happened as described before.

Well, I am just doing some bug reporting for Ubuntu.   Not sure where
to go.   But when I switched to Fedora Core to compile the kernel
there is completely no problem.   And if I compile the source codes
git-pulled from Linus tree, INSIDE THE Ubuntu 7.04 environment, there
is no issue:
