I have had this issue ever since installing 1.8 64bit.

Limewire installs and runs fine.....for Limewire.

I click on the link for Frostwire, and absolutely nothing
happens.

Any ideas??

Cheers

Frostwire will not run with compiz running period, I am fairly certain where the problem resides, multiple bug reports have been filed.

Allow me to correct myself another bug filed...

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/frostwire
java -jar FrostWire.jar

Let me know if that does not fix it for you. If it is the second that fixes it for you, I will re-write that section and make it work, is it my job to fix their software? I provide an example:

Code: Select all

function wopinstall {
dpkg_check
if test -f worldofpadman.run
then
./worldofpadman.run 2>&1 | zenity --window-icon=/usr/share/ultamatix/pixmaps/wop.png --width=600 --height=100 --progress --pulsate --auto-close --title "Installing World Of Padman..."
else
wget -c http://thilo.kickchat.com/download/worldofpadman.run 2>&1 | sed -u 's/.*\ \([0-9]\+%\)\ \+\([0-9.]\+\ [KMB\/s]\+\)$/\1\n# Downloading \2/' | zenity --window-icon=/usr/share/ultamatix/pixmaps/wop.png --width=600 --height=100 --progress --auto-close --title="Downloading World Of Padman..."
sudo chmod +x worldofpadman.run
./worldofpadman.run 2>&1 | zenity --window-icon=/usr/share/ultamatix/pixmaps/wop.png --width=600 --height=100 --progress --pulsate --auto-close --title "Installing World Of Padman..."

sudo echo "[Desktop Entry]

}

function wopremove {

sudo rm /usr/share/applications/worldofpadman.desktop
echo "Done."
}


Note the: #create Icon since they cant seem to do it right
#since we have root we need to discover normal username so we can create the shortcut & set proper permissions. I have done that more then once creating Ultamatix... Just not my job. Keeps getting better notice this as well... #created custom uninstaller since theirs does not work. kicks back "Could not find a usable uninstall program. Aborting." I will not even get into the python I have re-written.

Gosh darn show off! I bet you think you know everything about Ultamatix don't you!? .... ok, maybe you do... but I betcha I have a nicer hair-cut than you do

You are probably correct at least about the haircut, I am pretty much bald

Testing 32 bit I traced down the problem wxwidgets declared in maininterface.py, even though it was not being used, works perfectly now, testing compiz fusion git built (yery experimental), what it tells you before installation:

This is a very experimental script!!! You risk having to possibly re-install your O/S or break compiz. If YOU ARE SURE you want to install Compiz fusion (git built) then hit YES or else hit NO. If you hit NO, Ultamatix will resume with the rest of the chosen options.

Fun fun... After I finish testing I will install vanilla hardy and test it there as well, if all goes well I may be putting the website up sometime this weekend.

Have a good weekend,

I have to add my two bits worth. I switched from windows to ubuntu and haven't looked backed, but standard ubuntu was so brown. (first impressions make a difference) When I first saw Ultimate, (it might have been christmas) I was sure I was onto something. Since I installed and kept up with the updates. Learning linux has been fun, and all of the problems I have created myself (experimenting) The applications include have given a clear example of what linux can do. Now I have a new dual core with windows vista , I installed ultimate before I first booted windows, in case windows got it's hooks into places it wasn't supposed to be. and so far I've used vista to make backup disks (they don't give you disks sometimes, and the backup takes 27 CDs-I used DVDs)
Windows makes it seem like you're only borrowing it from microsoft. Enough windows bashing.It's so hard to bash on windows.
I'm waiting for my next usage cycle to download the new script, and I can't wait Go from 64 kb/s-1500kbp/s. Packages and distros are being upgraded all the time, and TheeMahn is keeping up with the best of them with a fraction of the help.
I can get fairly verbose so I'll finish with a summary.
Great job!!!! I consider it a service to Humanity, making computers user friendly instead of windows friendly (accursed monopolists.) Looks like you're drawing quite a crowd who are pleased by what they see.
Thanks for the effort.

Just an update on Ultamatix work which will be released in a day or 2 to the general public ultamatix-1.8.0-3 (now with 101 programs / games), I have done a fresh install of hardy heron amd64, and so we begin...









End results of running Ultamatix soon to follow...

This is my first post since a really looooong... time I just installed Ultimate Edition 1.8 x64 and I started to use Ultimatix (BTW a very awesome tool). I was able to install some software correctly, however, when trying to install "Ubuntu Restricted Extras and Multimedia Codecs", Ultimatix hangs and does not respond (it hangs on a small blue screen, where if I'm not mistaken is the screen where you accept the licence agreement (idk if this is correct since I'm never able to get any progress)... I end up having to reboot my computer. Is this a known issue, or is it just me having this problem?

I applaud TheeMahn and all the people involved in this project. Thanks for all your hard work and all the time you invested on this great project.

Hi Epic - I think what you are missing here is the fact that you have to 'Tab' key to highlight the "OK" button on the blue screen and then hit enter. It is not a problem with the installer and its not 'hanging' on ya. You just have to use the Tab key to select 'OK' and then hit enter.

Sorry, I don't think I explained my self well...I actually don't get to the screen were you have to select "OK" (thats what I meant "no progress" and when I said "I think this is the screen where I have to accept some kind of license") This was my guess, because I've done this before 2 years ago on regular Ubuntu (installing the restricted extras and multimedia codecs). When I get home, I will post a screenie so that you'll see where it's getting stuck. Thank you for your time.



UPDATE: Strange...it works now. Don't know what happened...Thanks for the help anyways.

Glad its working for you now. I almost missed that 'Update:' at the bottom of your post.

Gremlins no doubt..

So am I, I seen this post earlier, but didn't say anything cuz it looked like Daddy had it under wraps

I want to let everybody know it is coming I just dropped this in admin / mod section...
I am not happy installing Ultimate Edition 1.9 and it uses xfce as the default install env., I will have to look into how to change it, the gnome I am sure is off the hook after install...

Install:


After installation uses kubuntu usplash (easy for me to fix)

it then comes to the login window:


Which defaults to go back into xfce, I will have to learn where to set the default session and rebuild... I do not want to take the time to learn where each environment stores it defaults... It was bad enough to learn gnomes...

once gnome is selected it is indeed off the hook:

will ultamatix work?


is it really necessary?



Environments:



I will come back and post the proper screenshots, unless you want to do it daddy I am quite busy...

Like I'm not busy!? I'm busy enjoying all your hard work damn it! Can't you just let me sit back and be lazy while you do all the hard work
