SOLVED Installing tar.gz from the desktop

How do you install a tar.gz package that's been downloaded to my desktop (lxde)?
Or for that matter from a CD/DVD?
I can uncompress it ok but nothing I've tried can actually install the package.
If I use the install command then - where do you install packages to?
Thanks

Perhaps you are looking for `pacman -U`, see `man pacman` for details.

I have installed FCE on my macbook and on my desktop. Then I accidentally migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the product serial number. How can I stop this happening?

I installed Final Cut Epxress 4 on my laptop and my macbook and then accidentally also migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the software serial number. I enter the number which is then rejetced as it's already been used twice. FCE launches anyway as the licence info had already been written to my hard drive when I first installed FCE. How can I stop it asking for the serial nmber every time I open FCE?

You need to uninstall FCE from you Macbook and then reinstall it.
If you are not familiar with the process, FCS Remover is an app that can uninstall FCE for you.

Rasco1 it sounds like your managed network needs to be configured to allow you to download successfully. You can find more details in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

Ok....I have a 2012 MBP that has Yosemiti installed. The airplay works from iTunes, but when I try to mirror from the desktop I get the "no device detected" message. Airplay on all of my other devices work fine. Has anyone else had this issue?

Error Installing Adobe Air from Story Desktop Application Installer

This is truly driving me nuts already.
Every time I try to install the Desktop Application from the Story website, it says I must install Adobe Air. So I click Install, it shows the progress bar to 100%, then errors out with a window. The window header reads "Adobe AIR Installer" and the main section of the window reads "Couldn't write the application to the hard disk. Please verify the hard disk is available and try again." - There is a Retry and Cancel. Retry does it all again with same results.
No, I had no previous versions of Adobe Air. So I tried installing AIR direct from the Adobe website, and it installs fine. So I go back to the Story webpage and try installing the Desktop Application again and the exact same set of events as described above happens. I uninstalled the AIR install, tried again, same result.
I had Production Premium CS3 previously, and installed Production Premium CS5 UPGRADE. All the programs in the suite work like a charm!
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with 208 Gig free on my C drive, as well as over 500 gig free spread out over two other drives. 8 Gig memory, and two Nvidia Qadro FX 3500 video cards (If that matters at all). Full admin rights to the PC, not limited in any way.
A quick Google search shows plenty of other people having the same problem, just no known fixes I've found!
HELP!!!
PS- I have a picture of the error message, but the insert picture link is greyed out and won't let me add anything to this post.

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

How do I install Elements 13 from the diskdrive on another computer?

I bought a hardcopy of Elements 13. I want to install it on a Windows 7-desktop pc.
However, this pc does not contain a diskdrive, therefore I want to install it from the diskdrive on my laptop.
Both computers are in my home-network. I do have administrator rights. @From the desktop I can see the contents on the disk. I can even start to run and it is possible in the startscreen to choose installing Elements 13.
Then, the resulting message is: "the specified file cannot be found"......
How do I install the software?

Your best bet is to download it and install it that way. You can download the trial and use your serial number to activate it to full use (there is no difference between the trial and the full version other than the missing activation).

An alternative would be to copy the installation to a USB stick and plug that into your desktop

Faxing from the desktop with a Photosmart C7280

I have several printers some of which allow me to fax directly from the desktop rather than having to scan it on the printer itself. When I install the C7280 it install the printer and it also created a second printer, "HP Photosmart C7200 series fax." I assumed that this worked like other printers and you just select it to print to when you want to send the document as a fax. No so.
As an example, I create a documetn in Word and then choose the HP Photosmart C7200 series fax to print and nothing happens.
Can this printer fax directly from the desktop?

Yes absolutely. I set it up last Fall and have been using it until last week, at whick time I lost wireless connectivity with router for no reason at all. I can not remember how to do it now and I am looking for the answer myself.

At least for x86_64, libelf seems to be a dependency. Throws an error about libelf.so.0 when starting screen if it's not installed.
Comment by: Ranguvar on Sun, 11 Oct 2009 04:00:10 +0000
The three lines at the end of the install scriplet are unnecessary now and can cause problems apparently, please remove :)
Also, I cannot confirm libelf dependency, both by using ldd and trying removing libelf, so it should be kept out.

Startup disk disappear from the desktop

Well, without any reason, The startup disk is disappear from the desktop.
(Just only the startup disk)
I found this 2 times before, once on my 8 cores Mac Pro, once on my iMac G5.
I couldn't do anything to fix them, so I formatted and re-install OS.
with my iMac, it ran Tiger before, there's no problem until I changed to Leopard,
After about 2 weeks under the new Leopard,then the startup disk disappear from the desktop,
it shown the hidden status in disk utility and could not mount it,
So I formatted and back to install old Tiger.
Everything's fine. that's really good Operating system.
Bad luck, about 2 months ago, My iMac G5 had some problem with motherboard and the harddisk also damaged, I send it to Apple Thailand, They fixed it and send back with installed Leopard inside my new hard disk.(well... again)
Now after a few weeks. it happen again.
Startup disk disappear from the desktop.
This problem never exist on my Mac Pro, just with the iMac G5.
(Please don't tell me to check the finder preference about the sidebar setting.
it's already set to show every items there even the iDisk)
I wondered why I don't see anyone have problem with this.
I'm really want to find the answer about this.
I asked this question to Apple Thailand's support team but they didn't have any idea.
Who's gonna answer this

I found a solution to the problem and posted it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1858340&stqc=true
I pasted the solution below:
from a Terminal window, type:
ls -lOd /
(That's lowercase ell, lowercase ess, space, minus, lowercase ell, capital oh, lowercase dee, space, forward slash)
You should get something like this:
hostname:~ username$ ls -lOd /
drwxrwxr-t 32 root admin - 1156 Feb 8 20:35 /
Sounds like you might see something like this instead:
hostname:~ username$ ls -lOd /
drwxrwxr-t@ 32 root admin hidden 1156 Feb 8 20:35 /
(note it says "hidden" instead of "-")
To fix this, type:
sudo chflags nohidden /
and provide your admin password. You won't get any output back from the command but the icon should now appear on your desktop, and the hidden flag should go away if you repeat the 'ls -lOd /' command.
And just in case you missed it above, you've got to be sure Hard disks are turned on in Finder General Preferences under "Show these items on the Desktop"

How do you play a swf file from the desktop

I have created a swf file using flash. It can be downloaded
onto the desktop. It is zipped. When unzipped it is called
yadayada.swf. It does not get associated to the flash player or the
shockwave flash player which are both installed. So if i double
click on it it won't play.
What do I have to do to make it play from the desktop in its
plain swf file format. I want people to be able to download it onto
their desktop for both Mac and PC users. I published it as a
projector .exe file but mac users cant run it.
What should be my next step?
I have installed Flash on my development box so this isnt an
issue but it is for my test computer that doesnt have flash
installed.

HI
mm 2 things you can do.
1. Create a html page that loads this SWF file, This will
work on both OS's.
2. Create a Projector file for PC and HQX for the Mac. You
cannot have one
file todo both.
Hope this helps.

When I open an html file from the desktop all I see is source code rather than webpage.

I have tried clearing the cache and reading other questions similar. I have a mac and am opening these files from the desktop, not a server or anything so It's incredibly annoying that firefox wont open them as html files even though that is what they are saved as. Also there is no .txt after them. They are purely .html files.

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

Firefox 16.0.2 is the last version that works on an Intel Mac with the OS X 10.5 operating system.

Another option to consider is to install the last Firefox 10.0.x ESR version as that version is more recent than the Firefox 16.0.2 version.

I recorded audio with Quicktime player and the sound files won't disappear from the desktop no matter how I try to put them in the trash...tried xing out the red x, putting them in the trash...right clicking to make them disappear...nothing works...

Just got rid of them... I closed Quicktime and was asked to delete. So I deleted them. Problem solved.

Certain podcasts I can download on the phone but not from the desktop

This is might sound weird so I apologize if I confuse people.
Tekzilla has separate RSS feeds for different versions of their podcast. Small quicktime, large quicktime, HD quicktime. Obviously with iTunes you can sync the iPhone with podcasts or you can download the podcast themselves over wifi on the iPhone itself. I have been able to sync the small and large quicktime versions with no trouble at all.
It's the HD quicktime version that is giving me trouble.
If I signup for the HD quicktime version of the podcast in iTunes it downloads like it is supposed to but that version of the podcast can not sync up with my iPhone ever and I get the message about how it can not be played on iPhone. Now the weird thing is I can download the HD quicktime version directly on the iPhone itself using wifi and the iTunes app on the iPhone itself and it plays with no problem at all.
My question is how is it possible that I can't sync the HD quicktime version of a podcast from iTunes yet I can download that same version over wifi and it plays perfectly?
I know there really is no point in watching the HD quicktime version on the iPhone's small screen but my point is why is it possible to download it on the iPhone and not being able to get it from the desktop version of iTunes? It sounds like there is some kind of error in the desktop iTunes app.

Hi Jeff
Thank you for your reply on my request.
Im working on 2 windows 7 computers.
The one at my work downloads fine and fast, the other never ends its "waiting to install"

I want to run a report from the desktop

I want to run a report from the desktop using RWRUN60
What all has to be installed on it to make it work
I have 10g client on mine and it works but I can't install that on all the clients
Is there a little install package for this?
Thanks

RWRUN60 is a part of "Oracle From6i Developer Suit". If you want to run report on desktop client than you have to install "Form6i Developer Suit" on every client where report is needed.
I was facing the same issue and it was a difficult job to install "Form6i Developer Suit" on each client. So, I done the followings.
1. Configured Oracle Application Express
2. Created Required Application in Oracle Application Express
3. Installed "Oracle 10g Developer Suit" and configured "PDF Report Services"
4. Now, each user is running the application through URL and I have saved my time of installations.

SOLVED Installing tar.gz from the desktop
