    How do you install Wunderlist

    Sorry, I am still new to Linux. I am trying, I learn something new everyday. I am trying to install Wunderlist. I went to the website and downloaded the .tgz file, extracted it, used file manager to open the file. It asks me which program to use. Help. How do I do "run" this file?
    Thanks,
    Ernie

    Re: How do you install Wunderlist

    Hi, I went and downloaded the file but I could not extract it because it is for 32 bit and I am running 64 bit ubuntu.

    You need to look at the read me file it will tell you how to install it.
    Thank you

    ernestj,

    I was able to easily run Wunderlist on my Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit. Download the file "wunderlist-1.2.4-linux-64.tgz from Wunderlist website. Link: http://www.6wunderkinder.com/downloa...4-linux-64.tgz

    Once download right lick on the file and select extract here or double click to open the file in the archive manager. Extract the contents of the file and you will now have a folder called "Wunderlist-1.2.4. Go into the folder and look for the file name "Wunderlist" and just double click and the Wunderlist application will open.

    Hope this helps.

    I was having similar trouble. The issue seems to be with permissions. The trick is to first make sure that the "Wunderlist" launcher file is executable using chmod +x and then enter root mode and launch it from the shell. For the uninitiated, open shell and change to the Wunderlist directory and run following commands :

    Code:
    $ chmod +x Wunderlist
    $ sudo -s   <enter password on prompt>
    # ./Wunderlist

    FWIW I came across something recently that may be useful to you. While it is a bit old the information is pretty general (but technical too). While it may not address your specific issue, the information it contains may help you figure out what to do to solve the problem. In any case it's not a huge read. Take a peek if think it might help.

    I'm finding that I can only run Wunderlist using sudo and this (of course) is unacceptable.

    Hmmm . . .

    I've never run into a situation like that before but the first thing I thought when I read that is 'permissions' and wundered if user space applications are supposed to be owned by root or by the user. I did a

    Code:
    ls -la /usr/bin
    (from my home directory) only to discover that all the apps in that directory are, in fact, owned by root. There are also some programs that install to a different directory (such as thunderbird, which installs to your home directory as a hidden file). So, just to check it out, I also did a

    Code:
    ls -la
    (while in my home directory of course). What I saw was that all the apps installed there (and there are a considerable number of them) are owned by me, the user.

    This makes me wunder about your wunderlist . Where is it installed and who owns it? Who is supposed to own it? If it is owned by root, is it possible that doing a

    Code:
    chown uname:groupname
    to change the ownership to your uname and groupname would solve your problem?

    Be careful with chown. Make sure you use it right if you are going to use it. It can bite you if you don't.

    Re: How do you install Wunderlist

    ClientAlive: I've tried installing it in /opt (and running chown -R me:me) on it; and in my home folder. Same results each time.

    Run with sudo, the first time it runs it puts up a licence agreement window and thereafter it remembers it. Run without sudo, it always shows the licence agreement window and then crashes. I'm pretty sure this means it's writing its config data to some location that a regular user does not have access to, but so far I have not been able to find out what it is (no clues from find ... -mmin -5).

    Re: How do you install Wunderlist

    Maybe it has something to do with the folder location where it was extracted to. Myself, I downloaded it and extracted it to the system DOWNLOADS folder and it works just fine from there... I even created a launcher on the system panel and it works.

    and maybe it has nothing to do with that - but just trying to help...!
