I have tried all the tutorials to install uTorrent, but I still can't get any of them to work. They are all identical. Basically, you get the .tar.gz file, unzip it to /opt/, mark it as executable, link it to /usr/bin/utserver, install libssl0.9.8, and run it.  I've done all this, but here's what I get:  utserver -settingspath /opt/utorrent-server-v3_0/ bash: /usr/sbin/utserver: No such file or directory   So, I tried this:  sudo ln -s /opt/utorrent-server-v3_0/utserver /usr/sbin/utserver ln: failed to create symbolic link `/usr/sbin/utserver': File exists   So, the utserver command says that the directory/file doesn't exist, but the ln command says it does. What's the problem? (I've already tried rebooting. For a while after a reboot, the command utserver doesn't return any errors; it just exits.)

Every time I try to install ANYTHING with apt-get,i get this error  E: Waited for /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true but it wasn't there      E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true    I have looked at many forums but none of them seem to have any answer.  Any help would be much appreciated at this time!       (everything must be done via command line, 13.04 server)   Tried Braiam's command, this was the output + command:  sudo sh -c "echo 'DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-pr econfigure --apt || true";};' &gt;&gt; /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf"                  [sudo] password for swech:                                                       --apt: 1: --apt: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string                        -bash: true;};' &gt;&gt; /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf: No such file or directory

When I type a command not found in a PATH in ubuntu, I get something like this:  $ rdesktop The program 'rdesktop' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install rdesktop   I believe it's a script that looks up the APT archives and suggest an installation package. I'd like to change it so that it offers me to download it at the press of a 'y'. Two questions:  1) Where is the file located?  2) If I just add the install line in the trivial way, it's going to complain that I'm not a root and will fail (because the rdesktop was ran as a mundane user). How do I make it ask for a password and use it to get root access?

I'm trying to install lxml on a virtual machine running ubuntu/trusty64 in a virtualenv however i get this error below and can't get my head around it.  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz   the first time this error occurred i looked into installing lz. i installed it using sudo apt-get install mtools which contains lz however the error still occurs therefore i'm thinking this could be a symbolic link problem maybe a file is supposed to be linked to lz but not sure what file. lz has a symlink to uz but i dont know what effect that has and don't want to change that incase it breaks something else. any ideas to point me in the right direction?  building 'lxml.etree' extension  creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7  creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src  creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src/lxml  x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/include/libxml2 -Isrc/lxml/includes -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c src/lxml/lxml.etree.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src/lxml/lxml.etree.o -w  x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -shared -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src/lxml/lxml.etree.o -lxslt -lexslt -lxml2 -lz -lm -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/lxml/etree.so  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status  error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1  ---------------------------------------- Cleaning up...

I would like to set up an APT repository on a server that will provide a couple of packages.  Is there a way to set one up without installing any software on the server?  How do the files have to be organized?    Edit: I must be doing something wrong... can someone please help me? I have the repository at   I'm not sure where or what, but something's misconfigured.

When I run:  tar -zxvf john-1.7.0.2.tar.gz   I get this:  gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now   It should start unpacking.  Some people told me not to use the z but I get the same error.  It's a file that I downloaded this way:  wget http://openwall.com/john/f/john-1.7.0.2.tar.gz

I downloaded  to my webserver and unzipped it.  It contains a folder named -. I assumed I know how to deal with that, but I don't.  I tried cd -- -, but that doesn't have the desired effect. Using quotes doesn't seem to affect it either. I put slashes all over the place, to no avail.  What's the proper way to change into this folder?

I tried downloading the zip file but I couldn't find any binary or install file.  Is it available via apt or can we access the latest .deb file somehow?  edit  uname -a      Linux XXXX 2.6.38-11-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 12 21:17:25 UTC   2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

First, when I never had installed sl:  diogosaraiva@Ubuntu:~$ sl O programa 'sl' não está instalado actualmente. Pode instalá-lo escrevendo: sudo apt-get install sl   traslaction: "The program 'sl' is not currently installed. You can install it by typing:"  But when I'm tired of it and I remove it by typing sudo apt-get remove sl per example...  I get this when I type sl:  -bash: /usr/games/sl: Ficheiro ou directoria inexistente   translate: "-bash: /usr/games/sl: No such file or directory" instead of:    diogosaraiva@Ubuntu:~$ sl O programa 'sl' não está instalado actualmente. Pode instalá-lo escrevendo: sudo apt-get install sl   This appears with others packages too...  How I get rid of this: -bash: /usr/games/sl: Ficheiro ou directoria inexistente ?  I want see the original:  diogosaraiva@Ubuntu:~$ sl O programa 'sl' não está instalado actualmente. Pode instalá-lo escrevendo: sudo apt-get install sl   Output of type sl  sl está hasheado (/usr/games/sl)

I have Git now and some other stuff, but I've looked around and all and I don't get very helpful information. I've used these instructions:   Download the latest version of Flash Player from the Adobe Website. Click on Download the Latest Player and choose ".deb for Ubuntu" from the dropdown list. Choose "Save File" from the pop up window. Open a terminal window. The terminal window will be found under Applications -> Utilities. Change to the directory where your downloaded file was saved. cd Downloads Install the libcurl3 library. sudo apt-get install libcurl3 Install the Flash Player. sudo dpkg --install install_flash_player_&lt;version&gt;_linux.deb Replace  with the latest version number. Restart Firefox. Check that Flash Player was installed. Type about:plugins in a browser window, and look for the Flash Player MIME type.   Read more:   What I don't understand is how I change the directory and all that crap which they say everyone knows.

I am a novice user and I am trying to install Oracle Java. The process calls for me to access /usr/local/java, but here is the problem. I get as far as /usr/local, then this is the message I get:  leonard@leonard-MT6452:/usr/local$ dir bin  etc  games  include  java  lib  man  sbin  share  src  leonard@leonard-MT6452:/usr/local$ cd /java/ bash: cd: /java/: No such file or directory  leonard@leonard-MT6452:/usr/local$ rm -r ~/java rm: cannot remove ‘/home/leonard/java’: No such file or directory   Help?

I accidentally moved all folders from root to a subfolder. (/bin, /etc, /home, /lib, /usr... all moved) The only ones that were not moved, since they were in use, are  /bak, /boot, /dev, /proc, /sys.  Now, any command that I try to execute will simply not happen. I constantly get "No such file or directory".  I am connected through ssh and through ftp, but I cannot move files through ftp, as direct SU login is disabled. I also have access to the actual server if I need to do something directly from there.  I'm assuming I would need to edit a configuration file in order to tell it where to find the /bin folder and that would help me get access again, but I don't know which file that would be or how to do it (since I can't even run chmod to change permissions).  Is there any way out of this other than re-installing?  I am working on an old version of CentOS.  I'm extremely new to the world of Linux, hence this action and the question...

This should be a simple thing.  I followed the instruction on "" to install "Go" on Ubuntu.   Downloaded it Unzipped it to "usr/local" Added the path in "/etc/profile" (export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin)   But when I type in "go" it says "The program 'go' is currently not installed".  What should I do?

I wanted to try out rsh (or rshell?) - the old, insecure way of logging in remotely.   On my Ubuntu 11.04, it turns out an rsh command exists:  $ which rsh /usr/bin/rsh   ... however, it turns out it is a mere symlink for ssh:  $ ls -la `which rsh` lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2011-03-25 16:07 /usr/bin/rsh -&gt; /etc/alternatives/rsh  $ ls -la $(readlink -f `which rsh`) -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 391580 2011-04-02 12:16 /usr/bin/ssh   Does this "old" rsh exist in Ubuntu repositories - and if so, how do I install it? Also, is rsh also split in client and server packages - and if so, which packages are those?
