I can't get anything new to install. Here is what I get when I try to install

mike1edwards@Lighthouse:~/yahootemp$ ./ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb
bash: ./ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb: Permission denied
mike1edwards@Lighthouse:~/yahootemp$

Can anyone help me with this

you need to be root....and then:

Code: Select all

dpkg -i ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb

A word of warning... I've seen the official yahoo client for Linux cause some very odd issues with X... the most notorious being X crashing on login. If you have troubles after installing the client, remove it and you'll be able to get back in.

Thats one of the problems, I'm not sure how to login as root either

just type su(in terminal(konsole or whatever are you using)) and type in the password for root

You should probably make a new post, showing how you are trying to install it, and what error messages you are getting.

sstone, i did as you suggested and got this error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ymessenger:
ymessenger depends on libgdk-pixbuf2 (>= 0.13.0); however:
Package libgdk-pixbuf2 is not installed.
ymessenger depends on libssl0.9.6; however:
Package libssl0.9.6 is not installed.

So what happens when you try to install libgdk-pixbuf2 and libssl0.9.6?
