Hi

Loaded iriverter through automatic Ubuntu Software Centre, it is listed under Applications Sound and Video but it will not activate or load when I click on it.

The site saids that adobe is required but I have adobe loaded.

Thanks EAI

'iriverter' looks OK. Which Ubuntu ?

It is a good idea to describe the OS every time
you ask a question. Name and version, please.

The gcc "gcj java" isn't working in Ubuntu 10.04.
You will need the genuine sun java :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1486951
After install, check that it is configured :
'sudo update-alternatives --config java'
... and choose sun.

And next remove the installed 'iriverter' package.

This package depends on and works with sun java :

> iriverter-0.16-i486-3lu.tgz
'sudo alien iriverter-0.16-i486-3lu.tgz'
will covert it to a .deb package to be installed with
sudo dpkg -i <package>

No "adobe" is required ... ..

Have you tried hunting it down and opening up directly... if so, then recreate a link to your desktop or whatever temporarily while you figure out why it is a problem in your menu.

You should be able to edit your menu directly.. and there may also be another way (eg. gconf?, etc.)

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I have loaded this version on two other machines without any problems, this version was only downloaded just a week ago and finding all sorts of problems, printer drivers etc, were the same version loaded onto two other machines work fine and auto detected the drivers, but this time a lot of packages are not working.

I downloaded the original version from the website which was only about 200k, strange, the other version looks better which is 1.6meg.

Still can to get it to work, I will reload ubuntu 10.04 again.

The commands below on terminal said,

"Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 3
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java to provide /usr/bin/java (java) in manual mode.

""sgu@sgu-desktop:~$ iriverter-0.16-i486-3lu.tgz"" :
This is not a valid command. You cannot execute a package.

Missing alien : sudo apt-get install alien

And you will not get the Ubuntu iriverter version to work, I think.
A reinstall will do no difference.

I'd use java-6-openjdk (0) unless you have a reason to use Sun's or another..

I've just found it to be more compatible with Linux programs that require Java.

On two PCs I have loaded iriverter some time ago and works fine, the last recent download of ubuntu 10.04 just click on the application and its trying to start but nothing happens and just disappears.


I found the instructions you gave us frustrating, they are not clear, when you gave this instruction what did you mean, install through terminal,

"This package depends on and works with sun java :
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...6-i486-3lu.tgz
> iriverter-0.16-i486-3lu.tgz
'sudo alien iriverter-0.16-i486-3lu.tgz'
will covert it to a .deb package to be installed with
sudo dpkg -i <package>"

I tried that and just got bad command issues has I presented earlier.

This is to complex and I can not understand why it is working on other pcs and not the recent, have they changed the program in the last couple of weeks, the pc that it was loaded onto has not been tanmpered with in any way, so I can not understand why it dose not work and dose on the other machines, a good program when it is working but highly frustrating when it is not.

"Your instructions are not clear, the java download shows three options.

Thanks EAI

iriverter download dose not work.

Please do not repeatedly quote post # 2. ( Six times is overkill.)
... and please hit the edit buttons and remove the quoted text.
All that text is just hiding your own text.


There can be a very obvious reason for iriveter not to work
on the latest install : The gcc-java / libgcj9* has probably
been updated : On the two other older installs, you may have
an ealier version. And as iriveter has a lower priority,
it has not yet been updated to work with that new libgcj9*.
Ubuntu 10.04 is new, wait another 6 months, then things
will fit much better together.
'sun' is configured → → just hit <ENTER>.
.....

sudo dpkg -i <package>
This means : replace with actual package name !
= The alien converted package suffix .deb .
I.e.: sudo dpkg -i iriverter_0.16-2_all.deb
.....

I tried what was suggested "sudo dpkg -i iriverter_0.16-2_all.deb" and just came up with errors.

I also tried tar.gz install also encountered problems.

EAI



sgu@sgu-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -i iriverter_0.16-2_all.deb
[sudo] password for sgu:

The site I was told to download was this "iriverter-0.16-i486-3lu.tgz" but the file thats was downloaded was this iriverter_0.16.orig.tar.gz

I think that is why the commands for terminal are not working.

Thanks EAI
