inssider

[Metalmania31]

Hello all I'm quite the noob to linux mint 12 as I had ubuntu 10.10 prior and even then I don't have a lot of experience with the command line. I've tried to install the current linux version of inssider and have failed. Can some one guide me or point to an how-to here. I'm unfamiliar with all the syntax to install inssider. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[tdockery97]

OK, try this. Go here https://github.com/metageek-llc/inSSIDe ... /downloads and download the inssider file that ends with .deb matching your Mint system (32bit or 64bit). Then go to your downloads folder, right-click the file and select open with gdebi. Click install and it should do it's thing.

[Metalmania31]

Ok, I don't see a 64 bit version and I have linux mint 12 64 bit installed on an Dell E1505. So am I out of luck. I see there's a 64bit, but it has the .rpm extension. I dl that one and it doesn't have an option to select any kind of install. Any other course of action I should take?

[dagon]

A bit down the list you find a 64-bit package that ends with amd64.deb
https://github.com/downloads/metageek-l ... _amd64.deb

[Metalmania31]

I tried that one and it did install but it's not launching. When I try to launch it shows a busy icon in the top left and then disappears and nothing else happens.

[dagon]

Try and launch it from the command line.

Code: Select all

inssider

[Metalmania31]

No go, I get unhandled exception.

[dagon]

Well. It's beta software...
There is a file named inssider_patch that's intended for people who experience problems starting up inssider:
https://github.com/downloads/metageek-l ... 1.0429.zip

Try and download the patch and follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.

[Metalmania31]

How I do I elevate the folder so I can copy those patch files over?

[dagon]

Sorry, I didn't get that. Did you extract the files?
I'm not on Mint 12 / gnome 3.

[Metalmania31]

Yes I extracted to a fold on the desktop but when I try to copy it denies me siting permissions. So I right click the folder and open as admin and try to copy, but then it says this operation is not supported. Do I need to copy it from the command line? If so what's the syntax for that command?

[dagon]

On the command line:
navigate to the inssider patch folder you just extracted with the cd command.

from the INSTALL file:

* Copy attached MetaGeek.inSSIDer.LinuxManager.dll to /usr/share/inssider/Components/
* Copy attached MetaGeek.inSSIDer.Extensions.NewsFeed.dll to /usr/share/inssider/Extensions/

this command will copy named files into the right places:

Code: Select all

sudo cp MetaGeek.inSSIDer.LinuxManager.dll /usr/share/inssider/Components/; sudo cp MetaGeek.inSSIDer.Extensions.NewsFeed.dll /usr/share/inssider/Extensions/

[Metalmania31]

Ok Ill try later today. What happened to the forum this weekend do you know?
Btw, I did manage to copy those files by copy and paste by opening each folder as admin, but still failed to load. I'll try through command line as I said later tonight. Thanks for all the help so far.

[dagon]

What happened to the forum this weekend do you know?

The forum has grown insanely the past year so there has been problems on and off.

Btw, I did manage to copy those files by copy and paste by opening each folder as admin, but still failed to load. I'll try through command line as I said later tonight. Thanks for all the help so far.

No. If you copied them to the correct directive then that should be enough.

Type this on the command line:

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/share/inssider/Components/MetaGeek.inSSIDer.LinuxManager.dll

[Metalmania31]

Well I copied the patch files through the command line and still no go. Here's the result when I type "inssider" in the terminal.

Someone else with problems:
https://github.com/metageek-llc/inSSIDe ... /issues/24

A later version:
https://github.com/metageek-llc/inSSIDe ... b?raw=true

This version is Ubuntu Oneiric specific so I can't try it out. I don't know what next to try out if this wont work for you.

[Metalmania31]

Yeah, that one didn't work either. Ok, thanks for helping. I'm sure there will be someone that'll have a similar issue and it'll get figured out.

[danger89]

I hope so, I also suffer from this problem.

Hi all,

Just wondering did anybody manage to get this wonderful program to run correctly?

I have had the original error of :::

Then after lots of searching i found the error could be caused by the version of mono?
so it was suggested running it as so:::
mono --runtime=v4.0 /usr/share/inssider/inSSIDer.exe

which runs the program, GUI looks good all menus work, but the scan button does not do anything...

Anyways anyone else had more luck (or am i still doing something wrong?

Cheers
