gmote - help installing a .sh file

[Remanifest]

I am trying to just get it to run. I used firestarter to open up the ports, I extracted and ran the file in the directory and it comes up and says that it's getting packets from the gphone, but still having problems as I can't access it.

The gphone lets me see it and try to connect to it, but it always says connection problem.

I have another system that has windows and I disabled the firewall and change the IP in my router and instantly I'm having it running.

Any help getting it with Linux

I don't have any experience with the Windows version, but the Linux version must be run from within the directory that Gmote is in. If it's in $HOME, you must run Gmote from $HOME... /path/to/Gmote will not work.

In order for Gmote Server to work, you need to have Sun's Java 6 installed.

sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre

Next, you'll need to set this up as your default Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Once you've done that, you shouldn't have any issues with getting this up and running.

None of that works for me.. I'm running Jaunty.. and when I cd topathoffile and run GmoteServer.sh in the terminal, I get 'command not found':

:~/Desktop/GmoteServerLinux2.0.0$ GmoteServer.sh
bash: GmoteServer.sh: command not found

Is it necessary for you to run this in a terminal?

I was running into the same problem so I gave up and ran it from Graphical instead. Just click the Gmoteserver.sh and chose the "Run" option.

I know that's an unacceptable answer for some people....just throwing it out there.

hahahaha.. lmao IT WORKS!
who would've thought it to be that easy?

thanks zelluloidtraum
ohhh the laziness this will bring

[Remanifest]

The file must be executable to run it directly from command line (chmod +x), or you can run it "with "sh ./file.sh" - this was all stated in my previous post.

that worked for me too. thank you. just right click on the file in nautilus and select run you don't need to mess with this java junk. your right, it brings laziness and we aren't learning what is really going on, but 'we' don't have time for that. thanks for the great answer zelluloidtraum

The following will work if you cd into the correct folder

sh GmoteServer.sh

@Remanifest - Cheers fella, your little script worked a treat - looks like it's working dandy for me - legendary!

Edit: Nevermind, I had messed up a step when following post#18. Now it is working perfectly! Thank you Remanifest.
