How to install ActivInspire in Ubuntu 14.04.2 64bit

I've searched a lot about installing ActivInspire in Ubuntu 14.04.2 64bit until I found this guide, but it needs some small modifications.

- Click on the Launcher (Ubuntu Logo on the top left) and search for Software & Updates.

- Open up Software & Updates and click on Other Software. Click on Add button and add the repository for ActivInspire:

deb http://activsoftware.co.uk/linux/repos/ubuntu precise oss non-oss

 - Close Software & Updates without choosing to update.

- In Terminal, type this:

wget http://activsoftware.co.uk/linux/repos/Promethean.asc
sudo apt-key add Promethean.asc

This will add the key to the repository.



- Then, also in Terminal:

sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib

- Now to install the ia32-lib, in Terminal:

sudo -i
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
echo "deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse" >ia32-libs-raring.list
exit
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs


- After you installed the ia32-libs, the source of Ubuntu 13.04 is no longer needed. So we need to remove it. In Terminal:


sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ia32-libs-raring.list

- Now, we need to creat /usr/local/lib32 directory, in Terminal:

sudo mkdir  /usr/local/lib32

- Then we need to move a file to our newly created directory and correct its name, in Terminal:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.8.0.2 /usr/local/lib32/libjpeg.so.62

- Finally! we got to install now ActivInspire, in Terminal:

sudo apt-get install activinspire

Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal - Just got it installed..

I was so worried that I would have to leave Ubuntu 10.10 with it's default Gnome 2.0 to the new Unity desktop. I downloaded the new release yesterday and it took me about 4 hours with the speed of 512 kbps.

It came to my mind that I should first test the release before using it. I popped the CD in the drive and chose 'Try Ubuntu'.. to my surprise it gave me the save look that I ever wanted! Great! So I backed up my bookmarks and documents and media files and started installation.

The installation was just like version 10.10. Everything went smoothly. When everything was up and running, I followed these steps to make the ultimate experience with my installation:

1. Before I login, I chose 'Ubuntu Classic (with no effects)'
2. I installed 'nVidia' Graphics Card driver.
3. Edited the xorg.conf file just like the 10.04 and 10.10 releases.
4. Rebooted and fixed the resolution.
5. Installed Startup Manager to fix the splash screens resolution.
6. Installed languages and codecs following the guides in this site.

and that's it.

Things to do after installing Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

Every release of Ubuntu needs some configuration to work right. Ubuntu 10.04 is no exception.

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and then I followed all of the old instruction of the post about Ubuntu installation.
Sound
I discovered that there is no sound. So I clicked on the speaker icon and I chose for the sound
"Analog stereo output + Analog mono input". I also cancelled the amplified sound and lowered the volume to 100%..



Picture
I followed this guide to fix my splash screen:
[Lucid][Ubuntu 10.04] High resolution Plymouth & Virtual Terminal for ATI/NVIDIA cards with proprietary/restricted driver

uvesafb is required for the v86d package to be installed. hwinfo package is required for the next step as well.

sudo apt-get install v86d hwinfo

Then I had to add a line in grub menu:
To edit grub menu:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

I add this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"

We also edit the modules file:

sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

I add this line:

uvesafb mode_option=1280x1024-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap

Force the use of framebuffer:

echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash

sudo update-grub
sudo update-grub2
sudo update-initramfs -u

Theme
I discovered that the icons of (minimizing, maximizing and closing a window) in the default theme are on the right. I do this to put the "right" place.

I first change the theme to New wave for the right controls. For Controls and Window Border I choose Ambiance. For the Icons I choose Ubuntu-Mono-Dark.

Can't wait for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS!

It's only four days to go (by the day of this post) to try out Ubuntu 10.04 LTS..
I've been using Ubuntu since 6.10 Edgy Eft.. I'll try to report about the new version once installed and I'll update the configuration of the video card post..
