Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and Zimbra desktop

[badaveil]

I did not get much help from Zimbra forum so I'm trying my luck here:

1. I downloaded zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh
2. Under terminal I typed "sudo install /zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh"
3. I am requested and enter administrator password and get reply "install: missing destination file operand after `/zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh'"

I'm lost. What do I do now?

assuming that is an install shell script, try this:

sudo ./zdesktop-etc-etc-press-TAB-key to avoid typing all this

note the ".". dot slash means current directory, where as what you typed, slash, refers to the root.

Well, I got this:

user@pc:~$ sudo ./zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh
[sudo] password for user:
sudo: ./zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh: command not found
user@pc:~$

[P4man]

That command only works in the directory where you put that file in. If you downloaded it to, say, /home/yourname/Downloads then you have to change directoty there first

cd Downloads

you can list the files in your current directory by typing

ls

Also note everything in linux is case sensitive. If that file, or the folder you downloaded it to has an UPPERCASE somewehere, you must type it as such

I don't understand something and understand something:

1. The file is at /home/user/downloads/zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh

But to change the directory from there to where? I'm confused here.

2. I terminal-ed the "ls" and got the following:

user@pc:~$ ls
Administraton examples.desktop macgdi Templates
Desktop googleearth Music ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso
Documents google-earth Pictures Videos
Downloads GoogleEarthLinux.bin Public
user@pc:~$

Right, next step please.

The little squiggle tells you that you are in your home (/home/yourusername/) so all you have to do is:

cd Downloads

Please note that Linux considers "d" and "D" two different letters.
Hope this helps a bit.

1. The file is at /home/user/downloads/zdesktop_1_0_4_build_1833_linux_i686.sh

But to change the directory from there to where? I'm confused here.

When you open a terminal, your current directory is your home directory. The full path of that is

/home/yourusername

(since your username seems to be "user" that is /home/user)

Since this is quite an often used directory, there is a shorthand for it, the tilde (~).

You see that in the prompt:
user@pc:~$

The installer you downloaded is in a subfolder of your homefolder called Downloads. As mentioned above, its case sensitive.

So either you change the current directory and then execute the command, or you give the instruction with the full path. BTW, I think I forgot to mention you need to add "sh" to execute the script in a (root) shell.

So first change the current directory:

cd Downloads

You should see the prompt change to

user@pc:~/Downloads$

then execute the script in a shell as root (administrator)

sudo sh ./zdesktop-etc-etc

Please note you dont have to type all that. Type the first few characters of a file name or directory name, and hit the TAB key to complete the namee. If there are more than one matches for the letters you typed, hit tab again and you will see a list of matching file and directory names. That also ensures you make no typing error.

Note two. The "./" in front of the filename may make you wonder why its needed. dot slash (./) denotes the current directory. Strange as it may seem, if you run a command in the shell, the interpreter will look in all directories in your path (you remember that from Dos?) but it will not look in the currect directory unless you specify it. The current directory is not in the search path. took me a while before I figured that out, so I thought Id mention

Firstly, thank you very much for your help. I have never done this cd Downloads thing before in my life and my own errors were staring me in the face for some time. I must have been mentally blind but after doing a fresh terminal, got the results below. A new problem has arisen is that the Zimbra icon surprisingly does not appear anyway under the Main menu,sub-folders or sub-sub folders but that is a different issue I ought not to bother you with. Thanking you again for your help.

Well, if no icon is created, its because the install script doesnt do it. Have to keep in mind the primary way to install software in ubuntu is the software center. unfortunately, zimbra isnt available there, and nor can I find an ubuntu package for it, so you are left with a generic installer that requires a command line and might not even work becuase of dependency issues..

assuming the app actually works when you launch it from the command line (does it?), you can create your own launcher easily though. Just right click the main menu, edit menu's and create a new item. Or create a launcher on your desktop or panel, whereever you want it. Do feel free to ask, we're here to help

[P4man]

btw, it seems to setup the app for user "root", not for your user. Are you sure you need to run the install script as root (using sudo?). You may try running it again without sudo. It looks like a java app, it may not need root privileges to install.
