Hello, William L. Bahn írta:
Any help from anyone would be appreciated. Below is an exchange with David that may give a clue for someone else.Thanks. David Tisza wrote:William L. Bahn írta:When I try the following, I get that neither command is found. $> sudo updatedb $> locate gnuradio | lesswhat do you mean they're not found?This is what happens: address@hidden:/$ sudo updatedb [sudo] password for wbahn: sudo: updatedb: command not found address@hidden:/$ locate gnuradio | lessI get a cleared screen with (END) in the upper left corner and I can't scroll at all. After hitting 'q' I'm back to the above with the next line being:bash: locate: command not found
As I said in my original message:
This happens because neither the locate nor the updatedb command is not installed to your system (they are in one package) The "locate" is not connected to gnuradio at all, but rather a useful tool in linux systems. If you read the link above, and I'm sure you did, it is clear to you that the "updatedb" makes a hash database of your files in your system where are they etc, and the command "locate" uses the database made by the "updatedb" to find patterns in filenames. So the command "$> sudo updatedb" creates or refreshes the database (you need to run it with admin privileges) and the command "$>locate gnuradio" finds all filenames which contains the term gnuradio. I'm pretty sure that you know what a pipe is and the "cleared screen with (END) in the upper left corner" is made by the program less, because it did not receive anything from the command "locate gnuradio" so it displays an empty string.if they are not installed to your system, I mean locate, then try running the synaptic package manager and find the package locate(more info: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/findutils/ )
So this suggestion was just only to help you find your gnuradio files on your system, it is not connected to gnuradio by any means.
when I try to load this url from a browser, it sais to me that it don't exist. the closest path which exist is http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/Here's some more information that might help someone help me: First, the O/S is Ubuntu 8.04 When I run $ sudo apt-get update I get the following errors:W: Failed to fetch http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/binary-lpia/Packages.gzbut it has only 3 directories as you say further down.[DIR] binary-amd64/ <http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/> 23-Aug-2008 21:17 - [DIR] binary-i386/ <http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/> 23-Aug-2008 21:14 - [DIR] source/ <http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu/dists/stable/main/source/> 23-Aug-2008 21:17 -404 Not FoundW: Failed to fetch http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu/dists/stable/contrib/binary-lpia/Packages.gz 404 Not FoundWhen I explore the url paths manually, I see that the directories underneathcould you send the relevant lines from /etc/apt/sources.list maybe you are using a wrong or obsolate address there._______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list address@hidden http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
