Guide to software install

[Illusionistik]

I am trying to install a program for auto typing, but I am so inadequeted. I just need someone to try to explain what to do step by step.

This is the link of the install (autotyper):
http://www.garyshood.com/rsclient_linux/

Also in the site, but I will link the 'instructions' to download a requirement(xvkbd) here:
http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato/xvkbd/#download

It says I also need GTS+ 2.x so an explaination for that would be greatly appreciated.

THANK you so much ahead of time.

the package in question is available from the repo. Press "ctrl"+ "alt"+"t" and type:


sudo apt-get install xvkbd

to run check in the program list for "xvkbd" or from the terminal, type


xvkbd

Please do not start multiple threads for the same support request, it dilutes the forum's ability to help.

[Illusionistik]

yeah sorry, about the posting.

Now I installed and ran it but I only get the virtual keyboard, which is nice (because I dont think ubuntu has one). Bu the actual program i was trying to install was the autotyper. and the xvkdb was the requirement, so maybe thats just 1 step.

Again thanks sofar, just need help doing the next (final?) step of installing the actual autotyper at the top of the first link:
http://www.garyshood.com/rsclient_linux/

AKA which one do I install? and how would I do it.

METHOD -1
we need to know about your system first:
give as the result of these command:


uname -a





METHOD-2 (Not suggested)

If you know waht you are doing you can build it from source.
Long way : build from source
always in the terminal , follow these comands: (just copy and paste exactly like here; do not try to type it, you may mistype it)


wget -O autotyper.c "http://www.garyshood.com/rsclient_linux/download.php?d=source"
gcc -Wall -g autotyper.c -o autotyper `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`

the results, and yeah I would prefer going the easier route.

download autotyper-x86.tar.gz
and then type into the terminal


tar xvzf ~/Downloads/autotyper-x86.tar.gz
(###output) autotyper
./autotyper

[fdrake]

you can run the program by typing "~/autotyper". Or just doubloe click it in your home directory.

[Illusionistik]

beast@Beast:~$ tar xvzf ~/Downloads/autotyper-x86.tar.gz
tar (child): /home/beast/Downloads/autotyper-x86.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now



^ what i get when I only type in first cmd. (sorry wasn't sure if you wantd me to copy/paste 1 line or all 3 you gave me)

and this is what i got when I tried to put all commands in:

beast@Beast:~$ tar xvzf ~/Downloads/autotyper-x86.tar.gz (###output) autotyper ./autotyper
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
beast@Beast:~$ tar xvzf ~/Downloads/autotyper-x86.tar.gz
tar (child): /home/beast/Downloads/autotyper-x86.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

maybe I am doing something wrong?

[Illusionistik]

nvm i got it withj your last post, what was with the other commands you wanted me to put in?

THANK YOU by the way!

[Illusionistik]

Well on your last post I did it and the program ran, but it looks like it isn't working, but i posted my errors on my last post, didnt want to edit it incase you wouldnt see this.

I am pretty sure I downloaded it wrong, thats my main thing with linux I don't know how to extract the file or place it into a correct directory? maybe thats what i did wrong for your commands to not be working. Possibly we skipped the install requirement of GTK 2. (?) because the app run just doesnt work.


beast@Beast:~$ ~/autotyper
Process 31312 about to fork a child.
Created child process 31315.
xvkbd -text "2
\r"
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct

what i got when i opened the autotyper with ~/autotyper then tried using it.

It says I also need GTS+ 2.x so an explaination for that would be greatly appreciated.


what is GTS+ 2.x? are you talking about gtk? I am not an expert of this software .. where did you get that info? post link or quote the text.

I do not know why is not working, but you need to give us all the info you can about this program.

^ in the requirements you helped me get the xvkbd software. (check)
then we got the actual app I needed (but it looks like we skipped the other requirement)
its the GTS right under the requirements section, it says its required but no link to a download path. thats probably what I am missing and will try searching for it.

the link says GTK, not GTS!


You will also need GTK+ 2.x. Once you have those two requirements, you can run the auto typer. It will work in any X program, and can be used as an alternative to the Windows Runescape Auto Typer. Future updates will be located here.


check the version that you are using , but still there is no why to be sure that this is the error.


dpkg -l | grep libgtk


probably version 3 is not recognized by the program... have you tried contacting/emailing the developer?

thats what I got ^

and haven't contacted them yet, just wanna see if I can get it working before I have to waste more peoples time like yours =[

edit: another problem that could be wrong is just how I downloaded it. all i did was download it and opened the folder and dragged it to my desktop, could have done something wrong there?

[fdrake]

i will take a look at the source code of "autotyper.c" and see if by changing some values does the trick. BTW they did not put any comments, in the code , it will take some time to figure it out . I'll let you know tonight if I find something....

[Illusionistik]

yeah I am in no rush I will be on for a bit longer also so if you need me to do anything post away.

Look at my earlier post when I pasted what I got from my terminal with your command " tar xvzf ~/Downloads/autotyper-x86.tar.gz "

beast@Beast:~$ tar xvzf ~/Downloads/autotyper-x86.tar.gz

tar (child): /home/beast/Downloads/autotyper-x86.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I am pretty sure that is where the error may lie, just me downloading the file incorrectily or just not putting it in the correct directory?
