Upgrading K9Copy
Hi all, by default Mint installs version 1.0.beta and it has a problem where it simply won't open.
I've manually downloaded 1.1.3 which works fine.
How do I replace the installed version with the version sitting on my desktop?
Cheers

Unless I miss something that should be simple. Open Synaptics and uninstall the installed one and after that install the downloaded one. If it is a .deb package just double click it and it will install and also end up in synaptics.
As you find the beta in Synaptics you will most likely have/find a .deb package.

No it's not a *.deb, it's just a folder with the programmes files in it. If you click the k9copy icon in the folder the programme runs, it's just that the folder is sitting on the desktop and I don't know what to do with it?
There is a "readme" called install in the folder but it may as well be in Greek, full of command lines, arguements, compile and "make this" that and the other.

There is no downloadable .deb package?
I suspect you've downloaded a tarball (.tar mostly .tar.gz)
There is an instruction on how to proceed in this page:
http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html
but then we're into what makes people dislike Linux
Installing a .deb is a piece of cake, that is more like fabricating the oven first before you bake the cake.

OK, this is what I get when I ad any of the deb repository mirrors from the k9copy site:
W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.linux.kiev.ua stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907
This is the web page: http://www.debian-multimedia.org/mirrors.html
I'm adding the ftp address into "Software sources" > 3rd party
Any ideas?

Sorry for the delay - but we have to work to get the money to spend on computers - don't we?
Sorry but I'm missing something, I do not understand your statement. As for money I donate to mint several times and continue to do so.
As for the error message there is no link to follow, try for yourself.

I am truly sorry for typing something you completely misunderstand.
You should find instructions on the home page of K9copy for the key issue - but not.
Here's a link:
http://flavor8.com/index.php/2006/04/08 ... ubuntu-ii/
If you change the repos mentioned in the link to those that you have and want to work hopefully you should be in the clear.
That was just a joke about how we all have to earn our living - and some of us (probably us here) spend some of our money on computers....Sorry for the delay - but we have to work to get the money to spend on computers - don't we?

Hi there, the first option came up with "no such command" the second did not work either, this is the output:

If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
different instances of the same file when making changes.
Quit, or continue with caution.
(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r /etc/apt/sources.list"
to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
If you did this already, delete the swap file "/etc/apt/.sources.list.swp"
to avoid this message.

Nothing else is using terminal and I even tried rebooting and running it from a clean boo9t.
Thanks anyway.

OK, update. I hit enter after the last screen and get the list. Here's the problem. You CANNOT paste the entry (from you link) in to the list. When I try the cursor just jumps to a different spot and does not paste the text.
Another bug?

P.S. as much as I like playing with Linux this is a great example of why Linux is not more popular, think about it, this should be so simple but it is not.
All I am trying to do is download and install a programme, something so easy on Windows and Mac, impossible on Linux.

You have to sudo the editor to do that (file permissions). A bit irritating perhaps, but also one of the reasons why Linux is safe.
If k9copy had a .deb package all you would have to do is double click..
Yes, sort of If the program is in the repos, it's MUCH simpler than in Windows, but when it isn't and you don't find a package for your distro (deb for Debian based RPM for Red hat....) it is not easyP.S. as much as I like playing with Linux this is a great example of why Linux is not more popular, think about it, this should be so simple but it is not.

Take a look at this thread in the forum:

If you've downloaded a rpm or tgz you could use that method. I've seen it before but marked as beta so my mind sorted it into the do_not_use section of the brain.
