i need a very simple explanation on how to install ushare, i barely know anything about Linux but i got a libray error (libdlna0) while trying to install....i tried to install the library form the terminal but it was not found. Maybe theres another program i could use to stream .avi to my 360?
thanks for the quick response but i still have a problem the first code installed fine but the second still delivers the libdlna..........am i to run both codes from the terminal?
then i tried the second tutorial on the page and got this error with the first code mike@mike-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install libupnp-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libdlna0: Depends: libavcodec1d (>= 0.cvs20070307) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libavformat1d (>= 0.cvs20070307) but it is not going to be installed libupnp-dev: Depends: libupnp2 but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
This might be wrong as I'm new to linux too but if you enable the repositories for universe, multiverse, main and restricted then try and install it via the synaptics manager I think you can set it to download and install any dependencies that are needed for that program, hope this is of some help and remotely right heh
enable repos from synaptic then do (after closing synaptic): sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get update
none of this seems to be working I have done everything listed wouldn't using a Windows emulator be easier or is the xbox going to have a fit?
I notice from the Ubuntu Forum link that one of the early instructions on the how-to is "Install required libs". Your error message tells you what libs are needed. Try this before installing libupnp-dev:- Code: sudo apt-get install libavcodec1d libavformat1d libupnp2
Read the whole of http://ushare.geexbox.org and at the bottom you'll notice a link to the libupnp0 framework. http://libdlna.geexbox.org/
I think i ended up adding there own repository and then just installed it from there, that should handle the dependences and trouble of that nature. Code: vi /etc/apt/sources from there add this line from ushare.geexbox.org: Code: deb http://www.geexbox.org/debian/ unstable main then load synaptic from the gui.
Just a note on adding extra repositories, as you’re new don’t just go adding repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list willy-nilly as they can contain harmful software. Make sure you check the validity of your sources.
made some progress, thought I was successful until i received this message: mike@mike-laptop:~$ ushare -x Interface eth0 is down.
