First of all I have to apologise, my knowledge on ubuntu is extremely low but i'm trying to expand and learn with it so bare with me :)
RIGHT, well I'm trying to install songbird from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird
I've followed what it told me to do with the script, sounds easy right? so I copied it into my terminal and it started working away and I thought "great! easy!"
It got to the end of it all and said the following
james@james-desktop:/tmp$ zenity --info --text="After you refresh your menus, Songbird should be available as an application within the menus. If not, the launcher for Songbird should use the command Songbird (with a capital S). \n \nEnjoy!"bash: !": event not foundse the command Songbird (with a capital S). \n \nEnjoy!
It didn't install anything like the link I gave you above told me to, songbird appeared in my list of applications but when I try to open it it says
Failed to execute child process "Songbird" (No such file or directory)
Which should seem pretty simple, but I thought it was going to install it all.
I mean there's also a "install using .deb but i've read a bit about that and it just confuses me.
sorry if this has already been covered in another thread. Like I say i've only just started and i'm tryin to learn. Thanks :)
