Navigate to the linux directory of the iso: You have to replace with the actual path to where you have the LDOCE iso.ģ. Create the directory where you will mount it if you didn't before. Open a terminal: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (on Ubuntu since 10.04 the shortcut is ctrl-alt-T).Ī. You just have to navigate to the linux directory of the CD and execute setup.sh, but if you have a 64bit OS you have to do it from the command line with linux32. Thanks a lotĬan you see it on Nautilus (the file manager)? I got the notice: " no such file or directory" I see the disk LDOCE5, I tried with the command cd LDOCE5 and cd /Computer/LDOCE5 In the When i click on : Places/ Computer To copy some text, select it and press Ctrl-Insert.

A terminal-based installer launched with the message "You are running an x86 machine with glibc-2.1", I pressed OK, then I agreed with the licence and chose the instalation directory. Then I ran ldoce5/linux/setup.sh (after adding execute permission to setup.sh). So I copied the whole cd to the hard disk, and renamed ldoce5/linux/setup.data/bin/Linux/x86/ to ldoce5/linux/setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/.
