ushare

[Brudus]

Does anyone have any experience with ushare. I added their repository to the list and when I go to install ushare I get this

ushare:
 Depends: libavcodec1d (>=0.cvs20070307) but it is not installable
 Depends: libavformat1d (>=0.cvs20070307) but it is not installable
 Depends: libavutil1d (>=0.cvs20070307) but it is not installable
  Depends: libc6 (>=2.6-1) but 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 is to be installed
 Depends: libdlna0 but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libupnp2  but it is not installable

The reason why you're getting those errors is probably because those packages aren't in Etch's repositories. What you need to do is edit your repositories (if you don't know how, open the file /etc/apt/sources.list), and add 'sid', without the quotes, to the end of your main repository entries. Sid is the next version of Debian, so the packages are typically less stable and aren't included with Etch. However, in this case these packages are prerequisites for ushare, so you have to get it from sid (or compile it yourself).

Now run apt-get update to load up the new settings, and you should be able to install ushare without any problems.

Thanks that did the trick. Now I have another problem with ushare. When I try to set a directory to share I get this.

Interface eth0 is down.
Recheck uShare's configuration and try again !

Now I know eth0 isn't down otherwise I wouldn't be making this post. After that it just sits there. I doesn't give me a prompt either where I could issue more commands.

Well, I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about uShare, but have you checked uShare's configuration like it says in the error message?

I did find the configuration file and input the directory I want to share. I run it still tells me eth0 is down.
