My last chance on linux!

Just getting started like you are. Your best bet is use Synaptic Package Manager. In Bea its under system administration. When you get it up click search and type dvdrip. The app is in the repository and synaptic will install it for you.

 

hehe, ive been using synaptic and that works just fine. My problem being i like to learn and want to know how to do it the hard way!!

Ahhh.. I see.. You will find doing it from binary it is going to have dependancy on transcode which is also going to have dependancy on 3 or 4 lib's. If you are wanting to get the latest (not meaning the greatest yet) to play with and test and such. Get those in backwards order. Meaning the latest dependency lib's, the the latest transcode, then the latest dvdrip.

 

Yup, thats what ive been doing. Just wanted to know how to compile it from source thats all!

Oo but recently just installed ogle using apt-get.

Soo that i understand but i still have no idea about doing it from source code or whatever it is i downloaded!!

 

Ok source is normaly tarball.Will be either gz or tgz Or will be bz or tbz.
SO you are going to want to
tar –zxvf filename.tar.gz or tgz
or
tar jzvf filename.tar.bz or tbz
then
./configure
then
make
then
(as root) make install

I think there are guides at newlinuxuser.com

 

Right so what am i doing wrong here:

alex@alex-desktop:~$ tar -zxvf home/alex/Desktop/aircrack-2.41.tgz
tar: home/alex/Desktop/aircrack-2.41.tgz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

 

That command is looking for folders on your desktop with the tarball in it. If it is just on the desktop not in folders. It should look more like tar -zxvf aircrack-2.41.tgz because when you open terminal, or whatever terminal app you use, you are already on your desktop.

(edit) Sorry I am not to good at explaining what I am trying to say.

The final step (make install) when you get to it will look more like that because it will be from root.

 

Still got this problem :

alex@alex-desktop:~$ tar -zxvf aircrack-2.41.tgz
tar: aircrack-2.41.tgz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
alex@alex-desktop:~$

See now i have the app got it via synaptic. But the problem is i want to know how to compile!!!

 

Try with it in your home folder. Thats where I work from not the desktop. With it in my home folder I use,

tar -zxvf aircrack-2.41.tgz

and get this.

Oh and one more tip. Make a folder for it. Go to the folder, cd folder ,in terminal before starting.

 

I played with bea for a few days. Seems realy user friendly huh. I am getting ready to play with the new 511 release of knoppix now.

 

Ye bea rocks!

I did everything you said took the tar.gz file over.

Hehe now i get this error. I wont paste it all unless you want me too cause it goes on for ages but youl get the drift lol:

Whompus, do you realise what you're helping him install ??
Why would you want to aid someone in installing a WEP KEY CRACKER ??

 

Actualy I didn't until I looked closer at it. Reason for the edit in the post.

 

That figures

 

Ok, If you have a problem with me installing that then we can use this as an example if it makes you all happier

Lets take good ol alien. Ive got alien_8.65.tar.gz

Oo also were in the rules does it say we cant TALK about hacking programmes. They do it all in the xbox 360 forums and are allowed.

 

Then why don't you report those threads?
They'll get shut down.
It's not that i oppose to hacking, it's that i oppose to people that have no business in network security abusing the tools of the trade and getting them banned, their websites closed down, and their makers incarcerated or fined.

 

Nah im talking about threads about braking protection on discs on the xbox 360 console. Which is the same thing as braking WEP protection. As long as you don't tell me were i can download the WEP cracker its all kool in the rules.

 

No, it's not.
Discussing hacking tools is an unwritten no no.
Not to mention there's an ETHICAL difference here, but i'm sure you wouldn't get that.

 

This is a quote from the rules:

 

Soo is there any chance of you helping me with my problem?
