MultiSystem on Ubuntu 14.04 - linux

I've been trying to install the MultiSystem script on my Ubuntu 14.04 x64 machine and i am in trouble since it does not find my pendrives due their mount points: all the removable media is mounted under /media/username in this distro and it seems the script is looking for memory sticks under /media simply.
I tried three instalation methods:
1) adding the packages gtkdialog_0.8.3-1_amd64.deb and multisystem_1.0293_all.deb with dpkg;
2) using the install-depot-multisystem.sh script, downloaded from here;
3) using the method described on this tutorial. None of these worked fine.
Did anybody have the same problem and could fix it?
Thanks in advance

To install multisystem
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main'
wget -q http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot/multisystem.asc -O- |sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install multisystem
If multisystem doesn't find USB is becouse the USB format isn't FAT32

Never mind. For some reason, after a reboot, everything is set. Unfortunately, I am not sure about which approach was the good one. :/

Error with swift command in terminal in ubuntu 15.04

I installed the open sourced version of Swift from swift.org for Ubuntu 15.10, but I am running Ubuntu 15.04 in my machine. Now when I executed the swift command in the terminal it raising the following error.
swift/usr/bin/repl_swift:error while loading shared libraries:
libicuuc.so.55: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
error: failed to stop process at REPL breakpoint
I ran the following command to ensure libicu52 is installed.
sudo apt-get install libicu52
Please help me to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Try this one
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu55_55.1-7_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libicu55_55.1-7_amd64.deb
It worked for me
For newer versions where it complains about libicuuc.so.57: cannot open shared object file (version 57), use the following:
sudo wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu57_57.1-6ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libicu57_57.1-6ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb
In general, you can search here for the version you need.
I tried this as well
apt-get install libicu-dev
It worked for me
You don't need libicu-dev unless you are building Swift from source. The problem is that, as pointed out by gengisdave, libicu52 is installed on the machine, but libicu55 is required. A few things you might try:
See if apt-get install libicu55 is going to install the needed version.
Install the binary distribution intended for Ubuntu 14.04. That one requires libicu52, which you do have on the system. This may or may not work, and if it does at first, it may break unexpectedly later depending on what you are doing.
This is even worse, but you might try it if you are just experimenting. Use dpkg -L libicu52 to find out where libicuuc.so.52 is located and create a symlink to it, named libicuuc.so.55, in the same directory.
Before the 8th of December this used to work
echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main" | sudo tee --
append /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libicu55

How to access the NTFS filesystem on CentOS?

i tried:
mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdc1
but command not found, and the locate command shows nothing for mkfs.ntfs.
I tried gparted but the ntfs is hidden...Can anybody help to me?
sudo yum install ntfsprogs
sudo yum install ntfs-3g
- EPEL repository
yum -y install epel-release
- Install ntfs-3g
yum -y install ntfs-3g
- Update Grub
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
The issue is not really a format disk problem - it is more of a "how to I access nfs".
Assuming that you are using Ubuntu or Debian then you simple need to add the nfs file system options - which are not installed by default.
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
At this point - your mkfs should work as well as gparted
I hope this works well for you.

How to install jpegrescan on Centos 6?

Id like to use jpegrescan on my Centos 6 linux install, both on its own and as part of Picopt.
Unfortunately I can't seem to get it work with either. The Picopt instructions just vaguely say it needs to be "in path" though I'm not sure where that is?
I've tried dropping in various places such as /usr/bin /usr/local/bin - but I don't get the jpegrescan command, and nor does picopt find it to use...
Can anyone advise?
After getting the jpegrescan Perl script and making it executable, you also need to install the File::Slurp Perl module like so:
yum install perl-File-Slurp
In Ubuntu, the command needed was:
apt-get -y install libfile-slurp-perl
So complete installation sequence in Ubuntu would be:
sudo apt-get -y install libfile-slurp-perl
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kud/jpegrescan/master/jpegrescan -O /usr/local/bin/jpegrescan
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/jpegrescan

how to install viber in Ubuntu?

is it possible to install Viber VoIP client in Ubuntu ? So that I can call people from my Ubuntu system. I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
I followed these many steps :
Downloaded :
wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/Viber.zip
Then unzipped it :
unzip Viber.zip
cd Viber
~/Viber/Viber.sh
But still it is not working. Giving error like "word unexpected" & "invalid encoding". If someone has installed, please suggest me.
Thank you.
You have to use wine to get the Viber working with wizard on ubuntu.
sudo apt-get install wine
wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/windows/ViberSetup.exe
wine ViberSetup.exe
You can see the steps with screenshots on: http://www.unixmen.com/install-viber-in-linux-using-wine/
Well, you dont need to install viber through Wine anymore.
Viber now released Debian binary: www.viber.com/products/linux/‎
You must have 64bit version of Ubuntu, Debian, Mint or ZorinOS to be able to install this though.
Installing Viber on Ubuntu:(without wine)
For 64-bit Systems Only:
Open terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T then run the following commands,
wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/Viber.zip
unzip Viber.zip
cd Viber
./Viber.sh
In .deb method
wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/viber.deb
sudo apt-get install gdebi
sudo gdebi viber.deb
Or
wget -O viber64-NoobsLab.com.deb http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/viber.deb
sudo dpkg -i viber64-NoobsLab.com.deb
Direct download of .deb
Download from Viber.com
cd /viber_download_location/
sudo dpkg -i viber.deb
For 32-bit Systems:
You can use sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i viber.deb command, but use of wine is advisable.
For anyone else looking, go to Viber's official page and download the latest version of the distro you are running. Currently, only Ubuntu and Fedora are supported.
Installation can be easily completed through a Software installer or manually.

How do I remove Xen from Ubuntu?

I was trying to install VM software on my Ubuntu system. Since I'm not very familiar with linux I followed a guide on the official Ubuntu site. Now I am running Ubuntu in a Xen environment, but I don't want to use Xen to make my virtual machines.
I installed Virtualbox in order to create my VM's, but Virtualbox doesn't run in a Xen environment.
I have tried googling for a way to remove Xen from my system, but I am unable to do it. This is what I've tried so far:
Editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg set default="Xen 4.1-amd64" to set default=1 which was recommended by a tutorial. It made my laptop start up in recovery mode and I had to generate a new grub config file which put the default back to xen.
Editing /boot/grub/menu.lst but I don't have any files called that on my system
user#BEL-8WF4XW1:~$ sudo find / -name menu.lst
user#BEL-8WF4XW1:~$
Looking through software center, but I couldn't find anything about Xen
The command make uninstall but I didn't use the source code.
I also tried to install yum and do sudo yum install kernel followed by sudo yum remove xen kernel-xen libvirt but that also didn't work.
I'm quite lost to be honest. Can anyone help me to get my Ubuntu back to how it was before I tried to follow that guide?
I'm no expert but I've executed
sudo apt-get purge xen*
and it worked for me.
You can just try
sudo apt-get remove xen-hypervisor-amd64
or
dpkg -i xen-hypervisor-amd64
to see which xen files have been installed in your machine
