app install problem

Try to install the the following packages with Synaptic: libxine-dev, libxine-main1 python-support and libxml-parser-perl.

That seems to work for yamipod, it opened after installing libxine-dev. Although after installing python-support, gpixpod install on gdebi still gave the same "error: dependancy is not satisfiable python-support" message. Are there other python packages that might be needed to run it?

Thanks for the help. :}

The gpixpod app is now returning error: dependancy not satisfiably libc6 and synaptic shows it as being installed. Also, as I try to install several packages like java and flashplugin, and others through synaptic, the download often fails, connection reset by peer. Is there anything I can do? I've downloaded frostwire but it just doesn't open, which I suspect is due to a java error. I used automatix as a last resort but it also seemed to return failures and the programs requested don't seem to be installed... vat to do?

Could you please send me the dependencies of these packages?

How do I find the dependencies? I'm sorry Im new to linux.

All I can gather for gpixpod is that the dependecy libc6 is causing an error (not satisfiable) but libc6 is installed according to synaptic. Frostwire, which runs on java is installed but not opening because java isn't installed and java wont install because when I try to install something through either synaptic or get-app the download fails: "104 connection reset by peer".

I get these warnings from synaptic after trying to install java:

And when I re-added the universe and multiverse repository just to be sure it was added, it returned:

Is something wrong with the ubuntu side? My internet connection is working fine... But then again, when I tried to install plugins for a page in firefox that needed flash and java there were failures too... Sorry I can't be more specific...

At the moment you were trying to download, there were very clearly trouble somewhere between your PC and ubuntu's server. Have you tried it again since?

Yes, after the weekend the connection was much better and I was able to download and install everything on the first or second try.

At first, frostwire continued to generate errors looking for Java upon opening even though java was installed and it wasn't until I selected both Frostwire and Java to install together through automatix (which didn't install anything since they were both already installed but did something minor to link the dependency or something like that..) which corrected the problem and frostwire opened. Similarly, yamipod worked when I used easybuntu to install all the various multimedia packages etc.

The only unresolved problem is with a program called gpixpod, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=157492&package_id=176164&release_id=446180
as mentioned above, which installs with gdebi and generates the error: dependency is not satisfiable: libc6 even though libc6 is already installed. This one I can't figure out what else it needs... Is there a way to have a .deb file install manually in terminal so I can see what is going on?

Thanks for your help, Jason

Do you have Sun's Java Virtual Machine installed or another package?

gpixpod is a python program, so it must be a dependency of a dependency that's causing the issue.

Could you run "dpkg --info gpixpod.deb | grep Depends" in a terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal) You might need to change "gpixpod.deb" to the actual name of the .deb file you're trying to install.

I ran the above and got:

komuso@komuso:~$ dpkg --info gpixpod_0.6.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb | grep Depends
 Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.9.0), libc6 (>= 2.4-1), libcairo2 (>= 1.0.2-2), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.3.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.8.0), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.12.3), libx11-6, libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxext6, libxfixes3, libxi6, libxinerama1, libxrandr2, libxrender1, python (<< 2.5), python (>= 2.4), python-support (>= 0.2), python2.4-gtk2 (>= 2.8), python2.4-glade2 (>= 2.8)

Then cross-checked with synaptic and though I have all the dependencies listed, two of them (in fact the ones that have been causing the error message) are an earlier version than what is called for by gpixpod. Synaptic showed the following: libc6 (2.3.6-0ubuntu20) and python-support (0.1.1ubuntu1) and also that those are the latest versions available. gpixpod calls for libc6 (>= 2.4-1) and python-support (>= 0.2)

Is there a way to get later versions for ubuntu?

BTW, Luca, I do have SunJava5 JRE and webstart installed. Is that what you mean by virtual machine?

Thanks again:)

We're getting warmer...

The good answer is yes you can get the later versions (http://packages.ubuntu.com), the bad answer is, it may break your system in doing so. libc6 is one of the main packages on your system that lots of programs depend upon, upgrading it may break any one of them, I wouldn't risk it.

Ubuntu 6.10 when released will be able to satisfy all of those dependencies, if you can wait until October to use gpixpod that will be the best course of action.

Okay, I can wait until October. Thanks for your help!
