Insert your Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD

Click “Try Ubuntu without any changes to your computer”

Once loaded click Applications > Accessories > Terminal

sudo fdisk -l That’s an L (not caps)

This displays all partitions on your system, in my case the installation of my Ubuntu system was /dev/sda5 so replace this for yours in the rest of the code.

sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda

If all goes successfully you should be done, try rebooting and see if your Ubuntu shows up.

Ingredients:

350g Plain Flour
3 Teaspoons of Baking Powder
1 Tablespoon of White Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
300ml Milk
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons of Melted Butter

1. Mix all dry ingredients
2. Add the Milk and Egg
3. Whisk until thickish and runny
4. Heat a frying pan on around half temp
5. Pour in however much you want
6. Cook until bubbling on the top
7. Turn over and cook for about another 1 minute
8. Enjoy

It works not because it settles the question for you,
but because, in that brief moment when the coin is in the air,
you suddenly know what you are hoping for.”

To fix it simply make sure /usr/local/lib is in your library path by using the following command:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

The libraries I was having trouble with below:
./blobtrack: error while loading shared libraries: libcxcore.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ffmpeg
ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavdevice.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I used the ‘locate’ command to find where the libraries were eg:
locate libcxcore.so.1
This outputted a few locations of where the library was, I decided to use the /usr/local/lib version as both libraries I needed were in there and did the following command to add them to ld.so.conf and reload the dynamic linker:
sh -c 'echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf && ldconfig'

I know I’m a bit late in posting this but before playing this Uncharted 2 would have been top spot maybe followed by Batman: Arkham Asylum but after grabbing a copy of this game less than 48 hours ago I’m pretty sure Dragon Age is the one. It brings back memories of games like Neverwinter Nights mixed with Baldurs Gate and maybe a hint of Mass Effect; all very distinctly BioWare games. The only thing letting it down at the moment for me is the lack of camera zoom and keyboard/mouse support for the PS3 version (all of which wouldn’t be an issue if I had brought the PC version of the game as the sales dude advised.)

This is a simple fix, just grab the libstdc++5 package for your architecture from here:

http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/libstdc++5

sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential

How To Install Player:

Player provides a network interface to a variety of robot and sensor hardware. Player’s client/server model allows robot control programs to be written in any programming language and to run on any computer with a network connection to the robot. Player supports multiple concurrent client connections to devices, creating new possibilities for distributed and collaborative sensing and control.

Download the latest tar (I used player-3.0.0.tar.gz in this guide, if those numbers come up just change them with the version you are using)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/playerstage/files/
Extract
tar zxvf player-3.0.0.tar.gz
cd player-3.0.0
Make a folder to store the build files
mkdir build
cd build
Configure using
cmake ../
Now make and install
make
sudo make install

How To Install Stage:

Stage simulates a population of mobile robots moving in and sensing a two-dimensional bitmapped environment. Various sensor models are provided, including sonar, scanning laser rangefinder, pan-tilt-zoom camera with color blob detection and odometry.

Install some needed libraries:
sudo apt-get install libfltk1.1 pkg-config libtool

You will also need to install openGl:
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev

You will need to download and install fltk-1.1.x and do the usual:
(I used fltk-1.1.10rc3 found here)
tar zxvf fltk-1.1.10rc3-source.tar.gz
cd fltk-1.1.10rc3/
./configure --enable-gl
make
sudo make install

Download and extract Stage (as you can see I used 3.2.2)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/playerstage/files/
tar zxvf Stage-3.2.2-Source.tar.gz
cd Stage-3.2.2
Make somewhere to store the build files
mkdir build
cd build
Configure:
cmake ../
Make and install:
make
sudo make install

Currently this will output the following error:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libstage/stage] Error 1
make[1]: *** [libstage/CMakeFiles/stagebinary.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
I will make an update on this post when I find out how to fix this, comment if you know how!
