Easy Question - How do I run installed program

I am installing a program and this is the last part to run it. How do I run it?

Code:

Install Completed.



Run /usr/sbin/wicrawl to get started

I am getting this error

Code:

Can't locate XML/Smart.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.12.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.12.4 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.12 /usr/share/perl/5.12 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/wicrawl/ui/wicrawl-gtk line 28.

My tutorial says to run the program to type

Code:

sudo wicrawl

but i get the same error

You're missing a required Perl module.

Looks like Smart.pm is XML::Smart. You could try to run "sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell" to start the CPAN shell, and then type "install XML::Smart".

OOO man I love this website bro! It works now!

o well there is still an issue, not sure if we can cover it so easily though.

When it ran a little pop up came up that said

Code:

no wireless Interfaces found

try: ifconfig ath0 up :or something similar and restart

Not really sure what that means, I tried running the command and it gave me this error

Code:

ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

The Interface that the tut shows it "wlan0". Mine says "None". At least the program opens now.

What does "ifconfig -a" say? It should list all network interfaces on your system.

Yes, actually my Internet runs terribly on Ubuntu 11.10 netbook... anyways the thread was originally posted as an issue with losing that. Blackbuntu is successfully installed. I have no wifi connection. I have to hook it up to the modem with Ethernet cable if I am not mistaken before I can connect and install the missing drivers for the new OS? Thats what I had to do with Unity.

I've tried so many commands, and so many work arounds. The conclusion I came up with was the netbook I have just isnt great to use with Ubuntu. It is a Gateway LT-27.

Your wireless problems are probably not so much about Ubuntu vs. Blackbuntu, but rather a question of using a recent enough kernel. If the kernel in the Ubuntu distribution doesn't have a driver for your wireless NIC, it just won't work.

According to ifconfig, your netbook has two NICs. Unless you have two ethernet NICs, one should be the wireless card. I can't tell who the chip manufacturer is, as the MAC addresses belong to Compal and Foxconn ("Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.") respectively. lspci would probably be more useful in identifying the manufacturer, and the fact that both show up in ifconfig means a driver is loaded and (probably) working.

Here is lspci

Idk, why for sure, Blackbuntu is running beautifully, and Unity was running TTTTeribly. I think I'll either overwrite the whole disk with Blackbuntu, and have LMDE on the desk top.

Heres the thing. The desktop needs an Ethernet cable to connect to the wifi doesnt it?

I bought this for my desk top:-

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833704045

And it works like magic on my netbook. Its not connecting my desktop to the wireless. I think maybe I need to use an Ethernet cable to update some drivers for the Wireless Adapter.

This is a picture of the inside of the computer. Someone told me there is no place to add a wireless card. I can't be sure what the deal is its an old Dell desktop "built for" Windows '98.

Wow, just reread this thread so I will clarify:

I have a netbook Gateway LT27. I also have a Dell DHP desktop.

On the netbook I was running Unity (Ubuntu 11.10). I dual booted it with Blackbuntu. At first I had no internet connection on Blackbuntu at all. A day or two after creating this thread, this showed up http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833704045.

My original plans were to run LMDE on the Dell, but I have problems aside from the Internet. (There is no USB option to boot from in BIOS and my netbook has no disc drive; not impossible to fix). Now as for the Internet.

The desktop has no wireless card, which is why I ordered the Wireless adapter and I actually have Windows XP installed on it now. The Wireless adapter is giving me no Wifi connection either. A pop up window does tell me I need to connect an Ethernet cable and the Internet will connect. This is the reason I think if I connect an Ethernet cable I can update the drivers.

As for my wireless on the Netbook. Ubunty still runs shitty, and Blackbuntu is running flawlessly.

Badly angled pics, that only really show the CPU fan, RAM slots, power, floppy and IDE connectors. You want a pic angled more like this-

http://www.surplussalesline.com/vdir...1%5Cinside.jpg

Yeah, that shots a bit small, but it gives you a better angle.

Or you could just list a more full model number (eg, dell dimension 4800). There probably would be a PCI slot that could take a wireless card. BTW, wireless tends to use more CPU power than ethernet, and for older machines that extra CPU power used can really hurt performance. USB wireless is worse.

Yeah, you should be able to get the wireless drivers with 'jockey' (*buntu hardware driver GUI tool) or from software center, or synaptic etc. if you hook up an ethernet cable.

Unity uses more GPU power than the older gnome 2.X version that I think blackbuntu is using. The old dell will probably not even have a GPU. If it does have a GPU, it will be ancient, and its just as likely that its using an old 8XX intel video adapter (which is not even CLOSE to a GPU).

*edit- The intel GMA 3150 in your netbook has more GPU power than the desktop, even if the desktop does have an old video card installed. Still, intel video is pretty weak, and GMA3150 is only _just_ above the minimum reccomended for unity. The atom CPU wouldnt be helping.

Thats really frustrating.

Which bit? *thinks* the whole lot I guess. :|

Sorry.

If it makes you feel any better, ubuntu is widely seen as 'slow' as far as linux distros go, changing to a lighter distro could make even your old dell feel a lot faster. You wont get unity though...to me thats a belessing, but if you like unity, it wouldnt be.

Unity just never clicked with me. I am stoked with Blackbuntu. Next is LMDE, and considering Fedora..

The frustrating part is the Dell + netbook. Cant describe to you whats its been like. Both of them were pretty much free so I really wanted them to work. Its just not going to happen. On craigslist they sell newer used desktops for $50. Ive seen some decent ones, and it will just have to do for now. I am going to use the list you wrote out in the 'building a PC specifically for Linux' when I build it this year. Something comes up it seems, wait one more month, wait one more month, ... Ok, one more month.

Actually I can get a pretty nice laptop for half price from a friend who gets deals with a school. Which laptop though? I havent even began the search. Im frustrated because in the morning I'll still have the same computers, I still have money I cant touch yet, and its like this never ending complicated battle, for something thats really not all that complicated.

The netbook should be fine. Its never going to be a speed demon, but shoul be workable without much sodding around (though I havent checked the ethernet/wireless chips for linux comptibility).

The old dell should be workable somehow. Even if you need to use a very light distro. The very fact that a *buntu will install at all means its probably going to have a decent amoutn of RAM (256MB or more)

I'd really, REALLY suggest that you try some lighter distros. Ubuntu is know to be fat and slow, LMDE is heavier than debian, and fedora isnt exactly light light either.

Try something like debian Xfce/Lxde with the dell at least (and while debian Xfce is lighter than ubuntu, LMDE or fedora its not exactly designed to be a 'lightweight' distro). One of the main reasons why people like ubuntu is 'jockey' which makes installing closed drivers easier. With an old dell, its not likely to even have closed drivers avaible for the video card, etc.. No closed drivers = no need for jockey at all = might as well try something lighter.

If you lived anywhere near where I am (brisbane, australia) I'd at least lend you a system that I know will run a distro like debian Xfce and run really well. I doubt you're within 150KM or so of here though....

IMO Dont. Just dont.

Besides having problems believing that you can get a 'half price' laptop ()_very_ unlikely, unless you are checking the release RRP on a slightly older model laptop which has had the 'real' retial price drop quite a bit since release), laptops tend to be much more fiddly than a good desktop, harder to setup in many cases, and cost more.

The only reason I haven't tried Debian yet, is everyone says I need a little more experience to use it. Then if all of these distros are heavy, then I guess all I can really do is go check out distrowatch.com and find something more suitable. What do you think about Slackware for the Netbook?

Here's the deal. My dream and ultimate goal is just build my own PC, and I had enough money, but I ended up having to put half of it in the savings which I hadn't anticipated on. Then in about 6 months without question I WILL have the money. So for now I can get an $800 laptop for $400. Thats just what the deal is, its not some unknown strange dealer. Were talking name brand top of the line stuff. So when I get that $300, $400, thats my plan. I hear the laptops that are like Levono is one of the best ... (Although I may have the brand name mixed up).

You're right I live in West USA. lawl! I appreciate the offer though :) All I need to do for now is get online and on Craigslist people sell their used desktops. Hundreds are for sale everyday for under $100. Tons of them. I really want to have 3 monitor capabilities (which I do not even think this is even the original thread I started about that discussion; quite humorous). The Netbook is nice for a 'Netbook', but it doesn't have the power I desire, obviously. It works well for school-work, and journaling, and thats about it.

I have a professional quality keyboard and mouse hooked up to it, 14 USB ports, 2 wide screen monitors, dual-booted with Ubuntu, and Blackbuntu, a sub/speakers, yada yada. Now that is quite humorous! It is sitting on a shelf above the two monitors-- which btw are mirrored, because its not possible with this netbook to have the ability to freely use 3 monitors.

So, anyways, I think the best deal is to pick up one of these used $50 PC's online, upgrade the necessary components to my preference, dual-boot install: Debian/Fedora/Archbang/LMDE... or install 2 HDD's and have 2 distros on each HDD which I think is a given. For now, until I make this machine for my bedroom that I was starting to deal with mentally offline-- like once I have this beautifully articulated system..what ever am I even going to do with it? I guess thats sort of like getting cold feet.
