apt-get: Command not found.
apt-get: Command not found.
I am a newbie to linux. I recently installed Debian on a computer
that sits in a closet
So I ssh in. I got Samba working fine, after tinkering with the
/etc/samba/smb.conf file to read:
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
netbios name = linux
security = share
[shareRW]
path = /home/james/Documents/sharedRW
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
and manually starting the daemons with
nmbd -D
smbd -D
All was well
But then I wanted it to automatically start the daemons on reboot, and
I had no idea how to do that.
So I said to myself, "well, surely Debian knows how to do that", so
attempted to type
apt-get update
apt-get install samba smbclient
Only to get the surprising message: apt-get: Command not found.
(Which might be a good thing, for all I know this is a really stupid
way to install the daemons to be launched on startup.
I conjecture that apt-get has been replaced with some cool gui based
configuration tool, and apt-get is no longer on the path.
I recollect that when I access the computer with keyboard and monitor,
(which requires me to haul the computer out of the cupboard) I get
some stuff about updates, but when I access the KDE gui through vnc
and vncserver, I get a rather sparse screen that does not have that
update stuff on it.
I suppose there is some command I can give in the KDE gui that will
bring up some tool for updating and configuring debian or enable
apt-get? But I may have bring up the real kdegui, instead of the
curiously limited one I get from VNC server
my .vnc/xstartup file is
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
startkde &
Maybe there is something I can add to that file so my startup screen
is a bit more helpful?
Of failing that, maybe I should know how to startup daemons in linux
on bootup?
