I recently installed Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger.

Then, I installed the xfce4.2 wm.

Now I want to be able to have desktop icons and ROX really appeals to me.

However, I have been unsuccessful in its installation.
Here's what I'm doing.

I download the .tgz file and extract it to /tmp
Next, following the ROX directions online I make sure I have use of the command: '0launch -gv'
That's all OK.

Next, I execture the rox script: './rox'
This is where I have my problem. I am left with the message in my terminal: 'Can't find all required implementations:
- <Interface http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer> -> None'


I don't know what else to do.
Thanks for the help.
Also, I do not want to try iDesk as I can easily get that using apt if I want and ROX just looks cooler.

I thought rox was in the repositories, though you may need to add universe or multiverse. I'm not on my home computer right now, so I can't post an example of what I have, but it shouldn't be too hard to find them somewhere.

well, I downloaded the tar file from the ROX homepage and proceeded to follow the installation instructions.
However, I then ran into my problem stated above.

I guess I should try finding ROX on a repository and just using synaptic.
If you know of a repository please send me the link. Thanks.

I pasted my source file below, you can edit your's with the command "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"

I also just found out about this site which can generate a source file based on which repositories you want.

Well, apparently some of those respositories are out of date and no
longer exist. I ran apt-get update and was told that some of the
directories didn't exist.

Anyways, I was unable to find ROX only rox-filer which I am interested
in but in the context of the entire ROX package.

Perhaps you can help me resolve my problem when running the script for
the ROX package-- '/.rox'

I'm not sure what that error meant: 'Can't find all required
implementations'

Does that mean the script can't find rox-filer??
Thanks again.

I also went to that link that you recommended but still couldn't find a ROX package.

FYI here's my sources list using that website:

I just noticed that there's rox-filer is just part of the whole rox package you're trying to work with. Based on the error message I would guess that it's not getting rox-filer for some reason. You might try installing it from synaptic then running the rest after you have the filer installed seperately.

As for the source file it looks like you just have the main repositories. I would suggest at least including the community and backport repositories as well.

Hmmm, I did what you said. I can find the rox-filer package using apt-get but still after it's successfull installation. The ROX package hangs when I execute that script: './rox'

I googled my 'problem' string but I can't seem to find anyone else with my same problem.

Yeah, I'll add the backports repositories. I have the universe and multiverse repositories already added too.

Try this command to run ROX-Filer with debug-level logging:
