Did you try to find it on synaptic?
Sorry for not really answering your question, but if MozBackup is for backing up your firefox or thunderbird settings, that can be easily done by backing up (= copying somewhere) your /home/<yourusername>/.mozilla folder.
Just could you tell me the contents of the file.
I sthere any .deb file or something like .sh
for example installer.sh
"Those Who Can, Will Finish It.
Those Who Can't Will Justify/Complain the reasons."
Done it, I tried to copy my profile folders for Firefox and Thunderbird and paste them, but it doesn't work. For some reason, the system acts like the file was pasted there, but I see nothing.
The name of the install file is "MozBackup-1.4.8EN.exe" (w/out quotations).
The version its only for linux,
From the web
"This program is freeware and works on Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista"
Ubuntu doesnt know a valid formate as .exe.
its a windows installation file.
The best way for you is to go with synaptic package manager.
see here for more detailswww.winehq.org/Code:you cant install any exe files in ubuntu. You should use some emulator like Wine to install exe files in ubuntu
"Those Who Can, Will Finish It.
Those Who Can't Will Justify/Complain the reasons."
To install wineCode:Note: Not all windows softwares can be emulated using wine.
open terminal
It will ask for your password.Code:Applications-->administration-->terminal
Enter it.
Now type
in terminalCode:sudo apt-get install wine
"Those Who Can, Will Finish It.
Those Who Can't Will Justify/Complain the reasons."
Didn't understand what you mean, sorry for my english..
MAYBE it's because it's a "hidden" file. Open nautilus in your /home/yourusername/ folder, press Ctrl+H and you'll see it.
Actually that's the way I keep backups of my settings and emails from firefox and thunderbird and it works fine.
I find it simpler than messing with wine.
Just
Code:cp -a /home/yourusername/.mozilla /home/yourusername/mozilla_BACKUP
I'll try that later, I seem to have lost my Thunderbird profile, so I'll hold off till I get it back. Thanks everyone for the help.
