    Looking Glass Desktop Installation

    I get this when I try to install the looking glass desktop environment
    does this mean that xorg is missing? if so, what can I do?


    zach@zach-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install lg3d-core

    also, this is causing big trouble, because It makes me agree to the looking glass license every time i apt-get something I think that it is trying to install looking glass every time

    hey,
    sorry to pop in.
    went to the refered link, and made appropriate changes. on apt-get update got this error:

    E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
    E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

    kcode,
    this message

    E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
    E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

    means that you have something else that manages packages working. this could be another terminal running apt-get or possibly you have synaptic open.

    Pika,
    The file in the repositories does not work on new ubuntu versions (feisty, hardy)
    1. download this file:
    https://lg3d-core.dev.java.net/files...1_dev_i686.deb

    2. then, open synaptic up, and goto settings > repositories and add these (each sepearate) under the third-party tab:
    deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian stable contrib
    deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian testing contrib
    deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian unstable contrib

    3. search synaptic for lg3d, and install ONLY lg3d-jdk and lg3d-java3d

    4. once these are done, install the lg3d-core package you downloaded

    If all goes well, you should have a running copy of lg3d!

    hope this helps guys!

    Re: Looking Glass Desktop Installation

    lg3d-core_1.0.1_dev_i686.deb doesn't work on my amd64 system. Is there any way to get looking glass to work for me?

    edit
    After snooping around the project pages, I'm thinking not.

    Re: Looking Glass Desktop Installation

    I have done the same thing pikabuntu did, did it all correctly and got the same thing (ERROR 1). But, just for the heck of it, I tried loggin out and then changing my session type, the error dialog told me to see the "Looking Glass Dveloper's Guide" to get more info on how to build Looking Glass with x11 support. It looked complicated (especially since I am pretty new to linux).So I found this post and downloadded the package you suggested, but could not find the to packages you also said to install when I did the search in Synaptic.

    Should I try to uninstall all the other ones?

    please help!!

    thanks!
