I have just installed Fluxbuntu on an old laptop which seems to have gone ok. I want to try to run Slim Server in Fluxbuntu but I am having trouble installing it.

I have SS working on another machine running Ubuntu 7.04 but I cant remember how I installed it (still new to Linux) :confused:

If anyone can help me I would be grateful. I have answered the question on the Slim Server forums as well so if I get an answer there and it works I will post it here.

Thanks for your help,

Graham

Just figured out where how to get to the Synaptic manager so hopefully it will work

it looks like it's in the repos, so you should be able to bring it up in synaptic

As suggested I have moved this question from the other thread I started.

OK, I got Fluxbuntu working and I have installed Slim Server. Now I cant seem to get it to recognise the USB hard disk I have just plugged in.

Any ideas ??

sorry to be a muppet but what next? I have run the command you suggested so how do I browse to a directory on the usb hard drive now?

that will make it so that rox will automount usb drives, now just go to /media/your-drive

in fluxbuntu, there is a known bug... this is posted in the fluxbuntu home page, under distro index:There are a number of known issues for 7.10 RC

1. Ivman does not run (thus automounting appearing it does not work)

To fix this:

joejaxx@fluxbuntu:~$ mkdir ~/.ivman
that means you just need to make that dir to your home dir...

hope this helps... ivman is already installed, but just this folder needs to be created!
