[DSwarP]

[Taichan]

click to make bigger

and what the program looks like

search for ia32

When you specified the virutal machine type, did you choose 64 bit linux or 32 bit linux? I don't know if it matters but I didn't choose the 64-bit one and it worked fine for me right off the bat.

[Taichan]

i had one system that worked via the sudo getapt command but i had to do the way i pictured for another system

[DSwarP]

I chose the 64 bit Ubuntu. I'll go try that now Tai...

Additional Comment:

Where is it once I open that???

[Taichan]

so search, and then search for ia32

there should only be 1 thing

[runlinux]

can your post this file : /etc/apt/sources.list

mine looks like this and i was able to do apt-get install ia32-libs

*had to rename to .txt to upload*

[DSwarP]

Hrmmm, here we go...

[runlinux]

well, its obvious he cant install it as the sources he has dont have it in the repositories.

try replacing your list with mine and see if that fixes it. it should, but *crosses fingers*

[DSwarP]

It says that I dont have permissions to move the source.list file.............

[runlinux]

you need to be root to modify just about any system file. i noticed you had one more source than me. it was an updates thing. try getting rid of that and try again.


sudo cp where/ever/I/was/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list

[DSwarP]

That line isnt working, says the ect file/directory doesnt exist

[cuog]

I would recomend that you open back up your sources.list and follow the instructions to uncomment all of the main sources. you will need to be root to modify the file so you could use nano from command line by typing sudo nano sources.list or use a GUI somehow

[DSwarP]

How do I get to be root?

[runlinux]

from a command line do this

go to applications -> accessories -> terminal

sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list

that allows you to do commands as the system user, aka root.

[DSwarP]

I'm so lost, I cant figure out how to copy it over...

[runlinux]

dont copy anything right now. open up the terminal so you can get to a command line. then type : sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list

put a # in front of every line but the top two that start with deb and deb-src

once you have done that, hit ctrl + x to close, this hit 'y' for yes, then enter to save. should be fixed and hopefully you can get your libs.

[DSwarP]

I think I copied it, but then what? I tried looking for it again, no go, tried the sudo apt-get install ia32-libs but that also didnt work.....

Additional Comment:

When I do the...sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list thing it comes up blank?

[runlinux]

if it came up blank, you may have actually moved the file somewhere else.

1. get the sources.txt i uploaded onto the desktop
2. open a terminal window
3. type : sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
4. this is just like notepad, so open the sources.txt i uploaded with this program
5. copy and paste, then save

How about just installing Ubuntu 6.06 which already has the 32-bit libs installed?

You're spending a lot of time trying to get those libraries installed, but we never really proved that was the problem to begin with. I'd really like to see what happens when you try to start FAH from the command line rather than using the folding script.
