Installing vuze extreme mod under ubuntu

[SBfreak]

Hello all.
After having so much trouble installing vuze extreme mod in ubuntu I decided to make a extreme noob tutorial edition.
1.First of all you will need java runtime environment installed.
a.One way is to do it is through synaptic package manager
-Go: System-->Administration-->Synaptic Package Manager
-in "quick search enter java "
-install the following packages

java common
sun-java6-bin
sun-java6-jre
sun-java6-plugin
and all their dependencies.

b.The other way to do it is with the help of a tweaking noob friendly software named ubuntu tweak
-after you installed the ubuntu tweak .deb package go to:Applications-->System Tools-->Ubuntu tweak-->Applications-->Add/Remove-->check Ubuntu restricted extras

c.Testing Java Runtime Environment

You’ll want to confirm that your system is configured properly for Sun’s JRE. This is a two-step process.

First, check that the JRE is properly installed by running the following command from a terminal.

java -version

You should get similar output:

java version “1.6.0″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

(optional)Testing Java Plugin for Firefox-open Firefox and typing about:plugins in the address bar and check for java plugin

2.Downloading required files
a.If you don't know what version of ubuntu you have check what Platform says in the Computer option in ubuntu tweak.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/azureus/files/

b.If you have ubuntu x64 you must download the x64 version of vuze.
Right now it's Vuze_4.3.0.0_linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
Otherwise just download vuze for linux from the official site or Vuze_x.x.x.x_linux.tar.bz2 from sourceforge.

c.Downloading Vuze extreme mod from SB-I.

3.Installing
You should now have 2 files.The vuze extreme mod archive and the vuze .tar.gz.
-go to your Home folderlaces-->Home folder.
-copy those two archives,right click on them and chose Extract here
-delete the two archives as you will o longer need them.
-cut the contents of vuze extreme mod folder into the vuze folder.
-delete the empty vuze extreme mod folder.

4.Starting and configuring.
-go to Applications-->Accesories-->Terminal
-type cd vuze
-type ./vuze
-now the vuze torrent client should start.
-go to Tools-->Options-->Interface-->Start
It should look like this.
Now vuze will no longer update by it self.
I suggest you switch to the classic interface.

What are you trying to say?
All members in How I Installed Shu Mod in Linux includes you who helped me find out that I was using a different version of vuze than the one required.

[capito]

works.
don't forget to make a custom desktop icon.
mine is

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Vuze
Comment=Vuze BitTorrent Client
Exec=/home/capito/vuze/vuze
Type=Application
*Icon=/home/capito/.local/share/icons/application-x-magnet.png
Categories=Application;Network;
MimeType=application/x-bittorrent
Terminal=0

type this into your text editor and save it as vuze.desktop into the vuze folder
put your user instead of capito.
drag&drop it into your panel
*you can search the icon later (right clic in the icon in the panel, settings...), and that entry will change acording to your system
now you have vuze one clic ahead.

one could add that this method works for all gnome desktops.

i'm using kde, so it works for both: gnome and kde.

Can not copy to Home folder permission denied

[Instab]

do it as root. example:

su - root
chmod 666 file1 file2
cp file1 file2 ~

you have to replace file1 and file2 with the actual file names of course

[shoulder]

Or type this:

sudo nautilus

This starts the file manager with root permissions.

wenn ich auch sudo nautilus eingebe geht trotzdem nicht

[Instab]

Or type this:

sudo nautilus

This starts the file manager with root permissions.

that's dangerous for rookies. one wrong click happens much faster than one wrong command

wenn ich auch sudo nautilus eingebe geht trotzdem nicht

ah, i see. the root account dösn't have the samba shares folder. one more reason to stick to the simple manual method i posted above.

but in case you'd like to fix that:

su - root
mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/usershares

wie kann ich java version "1.6.0_0" zu jre-6u18 update Ubuntu 9.10

[Instab]

either through ubuntu's software update or install it directly from Download Free Java Software - Sun Microsystems

[supermarrioh]

gksudo nautilus, not sudo nautilus.
gksudo has some extra-functionalities for non-console applications.
