I thought I would try the mythburn scripts again, particularly to see the splash screen I made for them. :) I followed the instructions and installed scripts from CVS

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6796

Installed and ran scripts... oops, I need to get projectx. Looked at the wiki and found the message on the forum that describes how to install projectx.

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=32208

Got to the step where I'm supposed to apt-get install java-package and fakeroot. Here's what happens...

Code:
root@mbe:/home/mythtv# apt-get install java-package fakeroot
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.5-7) but 2.3.2.ds1-21 is to be installed
  locales: Depends: glibc-2.3.5-3 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


So I try apt-get -f install...

Code:
root@mbe:/home/mythtv# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done

11 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 84 to remove and 288 not upgraded.
2 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 12.9MB of archives.
After unpacking 119MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


At which point I say "n" because I have no idea what havoc I will wreak if I say "Y"

I have edited sources.list per xsecret's sticky postand changed "unstable" to "stable" in lines that refer to debian. I've also disabled some of the lines that never seem to connect (marrilat and experimental per xsecret's post, and linuxtag.net).

OK, finally my questions, thanks for sticking with this long post.

* Am I screwed for apt-getting those files?
* Have I done something in the past to result in my possible screwing?
* How is one supposed to maintain this "sources.list" file? How do you know what sites to add or remove other than when you can't connect to one?
* Should I press on or just wait until I try to next upgrade my backend (I'm on R5A16 right now)?

Thanks.

well looks like you've apt-got something in the past that put you in the state you are now. The big problem is that debian unstable just recently went through a big change and major version libc upgrade, which causes some problems. You probably just want to wait till your next knoppmyth upgrade.

Though if all you want is java you can install it straight from the sun installer, instead of using java-package.

Thanks for the reply; I had a feeling that would be the answer, so I'll just wait until I upgrade my backend.

Re: getting Java. I was following the instructions and they seem to use fakeroot for some permissions reason. Not sure why. I can't apt-get it either... I get the same issues.

Oh well. Thanks again.

you can't apt-get java period on debian because it is non-free as in you can't redistribute it without permision from sun, so what the directions are asking you to do is install java-package and fakeroot, which you use to create a debian package from a jre you download from sun. however you can just download the jre from sun use their installer and not create a debian package, it works fine, you just don't get it into the package management system in case you want to remove or upgrade it.

I meant I couldn't apt-get fakeroot, not java. I'll give installing Java with the installer a shot. Thanks again.

Hi ceenvee703,

I also needed java to run an app that I use to explore KnoppMyth. By installing "freemind" it also loads the java sdk which enables java in my mozilla browser and MythWeb browser. *Note, only works in the R5A22 version of MythWeb browser!

Here is part of my tools script that should do the trick for you. Use at your own risk of course but I have had no problems brcause of it. (Available for the M$ os also)

Code:
#<code>
#!/bin/sh
#apt-get tools
#
#sets up for freemind
echo "deb http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/ unstable/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb-src http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/ unstable/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "Preparing to install a few tools......"
echo "First we will do update then proceed starting with freemind"
#
echo "Loading -updates-  installs -talk-  -ftp-  -mozilla- -mozilla-thunderbird - saytime and more"
echo "this will take several minutes and does require operator action"
echo "Answer no to first question and yes to second question"
sleep 4
apt-get update
#great tool  can use to look through KnoppMyth and also build flow plans
# adds java also
apt-get -y install freemind
echo "Freemind will now show in the Apps > Text menu when you right click desktop."
#<end of partial code>


I use nano -w and watch out for wordrap!
If you want the rest of my list, use PM
Mike
