I'm not really good with solving problems on ubuntu but just try making a new directory using the mkdir command, and have a look on the ubuntuforums for a thread :)

[embracethespam]

Sorry you feel that way, I found that if you full screened the video it would be better, I did make this video on a slow spec machime so I could't make a hd video

[ProManUnitedFan]

It says "Unable to find source package for filename". What should I do?

[embracethespam]

@ProManUnitedFan saddly dude, I've never had this problem.. However, I can point you in the direction of some awsome people in the ubuntu community.

if you've ever used IRC before be sure to check out either of these rooms: #ubuntu-uk and #ubuntu-cym all amazing people in there, check out ubuntuforums[dot]org too

I will have a google around as well and see if i can find a solution for you and pm you. JUST DONT GIVE UP :)

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

what do I do?

[Blaklite101]

@MegaTrancy the prefix "./" means to unix that you are referring to a file or folder. try just "configure" or "bash configure" or something to that effect. might help



[Blaklite101]

@embracethespam so its "sudo build-dep" instead of "sudo apt-get install"?

@ProManUnitedFan It means that the directory for that file already exists. meaning you should skip the moving step and continue
