Installing ITune using PlayOnLinux easy way of installing



Please your feed will be appreciated. Thank you

 

For me see that installing softwares with playonlinux easier that with wine

 

how well does this work on linpus?

 

This work perfectly on linpus, on the installation you have to choose the fedora package to download. if you have problems installing please reported and will help you to reslve it.

 

I can't seem to get the first file to download - the .gpg file. When I follow the link it seems to not be there. I installed the rpm file anyway but it won't open as it says I don't have a lmza program and I can't seem to find it on line for linpus. I am a real linux newbie I am afraid so its likely to be something simple.
Any suggestions?

I did check and i found that playonlinux rpm.gpg signature file was moved from that server, i`m looking what is the problem because coulden1t find the file either.
if you check in their server http://mulx.free.fr/rpm/ you will find that they moved the file from their server.

 

Ok i had a copy on my server try to download it from the link below

Thanks for that.
I have downloaded it and then copied it intto terminal but it didn't like it. Not sure what I am doing wrong - I am a real novice.
after each line of code it says bash: repeats the line and then no such file or directory. Should I be using a command term?
I tried entering cd /home/Desktop in terminal and it didn't like that either. cd /home/ it recognises but can't then find the rpm.

Sorry complete novice as I said.

Got this far:
[user@localhost home]$ cd /home/user/Desktop
[user@localhost Desktop]$ rpm --import rpm.gpg
error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
error: rpm.gpg: import failed.

Please use sudo before the command

also have sure you have this dependency installed : binutils

 

Hi
Thanks sorry I am such a novice.
I still can't get it to work though - lmza needs installed and I can't find a site to download it from.
The other binutils seems to be installed - how could I be sure?
Thanks for your help
Duncan

 

Just check with the command yum install

if is installed will give you the message that is already installed ,if not will install it

Hi
Binutils is running. Still wants lmza. Should I uninstall playonlinux and try again?
If so how do I uninstall it?
