Can anyone help me with a problem I am having, I installed linux a couple of months ago and have managed to solve most the problems I recieved, however there is one I can't seem to work out, when downloading a program that uses autorun it comes up with an error message, command line output, have looked through various manuals but as yet can't solve it, can anyone help!!!
Few programs I have tried to install, today I tried to install itunes. However same with every other application, the message comes up 'An error occurred while loading the archive.' with a sub heading of 'command line output'. Any ideas?
Itunes does not run natively on Linux. There are alternative programs that support Itune but as I don't use them I am unsure of which ones they are.
I'm sure that Mandriva has a package manager. Use that to install programs. Also, if there is no Linux equivalent to the program you want, install 'Wine' and use that to install a windows program.
