Welcome to the forums!! :)

Well even though somethings aren't "made" for lucid it will still work oftentimes. You never know until you try.

If it does have any errors please post them.

http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Installing_TinyOS_2.1.1#Two-step_install_on_your_host_OS_with_Debian_packages

[ccsi]

thank you
:)

but I found this
ubuntu@ubuntu-MM061:~$ sudo apt-get install tinyos
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package tinyos


after : sudo apt-get install tinyos command

Note: I did not do first command : 1) Remove any old tinyos repository from /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following:
Supported distributions are (edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy, jaunty, karmic, lucid)

because I do not have TinyOs before

[Kirboosy]

Run this command in your terminal


deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid main

I know you are using Maverick but it should still work.

[ccsi]

12 hour left in order to find solution for that error

No command 'deb' found, did you mean:
Command 'debc' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'derb' from package 'libicu-dev' (main)
Command 'dab' from package 'bsdgames' (universe)
Command 'debi' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'xdeb' from package 'xdeb' (universe)
deb: command not found

when i tried running previous command :(

can you help me please ?!

[Kirboosy]

Oh I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking clearly when I posted that...

Navigate to System-->Admin-->Software Sources

Then click the Other "Software Tab"

Hit the "Add" button and paste

deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid main

[ccsi]

thanx

but ...:oops:


I did not find " Software source" in Administration !!

I know that I bother you :oops:

[Kirboosy]

Are you using Gnome (http://www.gnome.org/) as your default Window Manager?


Ok lets try this...

Run this command in a Terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid mainThen run

sudo apt-get updatethen...

sudo apt-get install tinyosYou aren't a bother, we all started as beginners at one point in time. :smile:

[ccsi]

I use Ubuntu as an independent OS not as partition on C:/ or D:/
" i did not understand what dose you mean by " GNOME" and how I Know
why ? is there wrong in my OS since there is no Software sources ??

any way i tried your command i found this message

Error: need a repository as argument

?!

I hope that i find worked solution because i spent a lot of time without result ....but still i have a hope since you guide me :)

[Kirboosy]

Gnome is the interface. The look of Ubuntu... Does your screen (for the most part) look like this? (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=SoftwareSources.png)

[ccsi]

yes it is

but no such icon !!!

[ccsi]

i found that :

http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Getting_started_using_Ubuntu_9.10_and_TelosB_motes

what do you think ?
i found how to open that file and add dep......etc command but i put your command rather :

deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu hardy mainam I on the right side ?

note: I choose tinyos 2.1.1 ..

also i faced a window about java6-jer ..... but i could not press OK !!!!

[Kirboosy]

Do you have java (http://www.java.com/) installed on the computer? If not I can walk you through that as well. :)

[uRock]

Software sources is not in System> Administration by default in 10.10. You have to go to Applications> Ubuntu Software Center, then click Edit and select Software Sources.

I think i do not have java i will install it ,,,

and i will keep following you ...

Caboose885 (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=900617)

do you prefer to start from that step

" software sources" ?

>> after uRock (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1018339) told me how to find it

[ccsi]

finally i disabled the faced problem >>are there any command that tell me if TinyOS installed correctly > still Iam not sure :oops:

but when i started the tutorial in this page

http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Getting_Started_with_TinyOS

after
tos-check-env


i found a lot of warning that asked to update is it OK to ignore them ?

if not, how do i update them ?

[Kirboosy]

Well just open up the software sources and add it like I instructed you before...

Click the Other "Software Tab"

Hit the "Add" button and paste


deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid main


Then run

sudo apt-get update
then...

sudo apt-get install tinyos

[ccsi]

^^
I got this statement in my terminal : Setting up for TinyOS 2.1.1

at the top , I think Tinyos is installed correctly , is not it ?
-----------
thank you so much my friend you give me help full guide you are the best ,I will not hesitate to ask your opinion when i need .

your site totally help me and i will be Active member just like you.

[Kirboosy]

Yes! I would say that everything installed correctly! :D

Glad to help. I used to have very few beans until I decided to start helping out the community. I hope you enjoy using Ubuntu. :)


Now if you would mark the thread as solved that would be great. (Under Thread Tools)

[ccsi]

Caboose and ccsi,

I followed all your advice and i am still stuck at the installation of tinyos...

I installed and update java6 then i try to add these many line in the Sources.liste :

deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu <distribution> main
deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid main
deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu <ubuntu_release> main

And executed the command :

sudo apt-get install tinyos-2.1.1
sudo apt-get install tinyos

I always get this error (cf end)

Oups by trying again to get the error it works! Crazy story...
I let this post to give hope for people how try like all the option, at the end it could work xD

Anyway thank you for all the advices I learn some new tips on ubuntu!

Cheers,

Damien

first of all you have to know that the problems faced you may no body else had faced, and it is OK
also may the proposed solutions that worked with some one not work with you , and also it is OK.

but try to follow this

with what Mr. Caboose support us with

for every error faced, try to search on google and it will help.

I am still beginner , but i will help you as possible i can , also the other here will

[Kirboosy]

Remove all of the other repositories you added except for this one


deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu lucid main

then run in the terminal
sudo apt-get update

then run
sudo apt-get install tinyos

open synaptic manager and type 'tinyos'. you'll find a list of files.

select tinyos-2.1.1 (which automatically select other bunch of files) and mark for installation.

that should work.
