    I get the error message "Unable to locate package super-boot-manager" any suggestions?

    • Zinovsky

      Please indicate which OS and which arch 32 or 64 bit. Thanks

      • T Money

        UBUNTU 11.4 Natty 32 Bit

    Most of the buttons are blank.
    This is on a Debian squeeze install.
    Also there isn’t a "add-apt-repository" command in Debian. I found a script online that got me by that problem when installing. Without it the package would fail during installation.

    • Ingalex

      What language have you selected?

      • DSP

        English

        • Ingalex

          Try removing .sbm folder and restarting it:
          sudo rm -rf ~/.sbm

    • Ingalex

      Can you link me this script that you have found?

      • DSP

        I got it from this page.. [url=]http://blog.anantshri.info/howto-add-ppa-in-debian/[/url]
        The ./sbm folder in my home directory was empty. I removed it anyways but it made no difference.

    • DSP

      I have updated this program a couple of times since my first post and the buttons are still blank.
      I did a complete removal and fresh install but the problem persists. Also, can you stop having a duplicate line added to the sources.list file every time this program is updated through Synaptic?

  • T Money

    Sorry about the delay. I’m on UBUNTU 11.4 Natty. 32 Bit

  • DSP

    enter your message here…[quote=Ingalex]Can you link me this script that you have found?[/quote]
    I did and I got a message that the post needed approval. I’ve been checking but it hasn’t appeared yet.

    Get "E: Unable to locate package super-boot-manager" – Running Ubuntu 10.04 on 64 bit architecture. What’s going on?

  • http://enteryoursiteURL... Louka

    Guys if you get error "Unable to locate super-boot-manager" just run once more "sudo apt-get install super-boot-manager" and it works ;).

  • rob

    I get the error message "Unable to locate package super-boot-manager" I have mint 11 64 bit

    • 703

      sudo apt-get install super-boot-manager

      copying and pasting the full sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install super-boot-manager gave me the same error.

      or check your package manager as you have added it!!

  • Guest

    Nice!  thank you, one question… I can’t find any information. How can I remove the recovery Windows icon?  

  • Guest

    I had to install grub-customizer (separate ppa).  Google that, and you can easily remove any GRUB/BURG entries that you don’t want, or rename the ones you do.

      same for me HELP PLEASE :S

  • Gerst

    Tried to run SBM normally, and nothing happened.  Tried it from terminal, and got this message” /usr/bin/buc: 12: /usr/bin/buc: /usr/buc//buc: Permission denied”  What does this mean?

    • Drmgiver

      Same here.  Don’t know what is going on.  Rootkit?  Don’t know.

  • Kasperelkjaer

     I also get ” /usr/bin/buc: 12: /usr/bin/buc: /usr/buc//buc: Permission denied”

    I tried changing owner of all the files and directories from root to my username, but same result…

    Why doesn’t it work?

  • Huertix

    The SBM installation is giving me the following error:
    - Unable to locate package super-boot-manager

    I’ve used the line command as follow:

    - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install super-boot-manager

    ..and it worked….

    Regards.

it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,

it is using strong encryption.

but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI

And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.

You can friend someone if you give him your public Certificate.

both peers must friend each other.

i suggest to not enter a valid e-mail address. it is not necessary, but pgp needs a mail addy. something@something.so fits perfectly… :)

http://redd.it/18vsq5 <– faq, featurelist, todo, howto, useful links to manual wiki etc, …

you can connect to chatservers, which will give you access to chatlobby, where always some people are lurking.

#1 https://www.f2f-fr.net/w2c/en/
#2 http://retrosharechatserver.no-ip.org/w2c/en/

please have a look at this link. it is a FAQ, QuickTip, HowTo, etc etc etc …

If you want to make friends, please use the Chatservers.
#1 https://www.f2f-fr.net/w2c/en/
#2 http://retrosharechatserver.no-ip.org/w2c/en/

if you enter your certificate, the chatserver adds you as his friend and shows his certificate too add him to your friends.

After the connection to the chatservers is established, you can join a few chatrooms where the chatserver is lurking.

in this rooms are other people too help you and make first friends and get into the network.

add friends only with wisdom. if you friend some policeman, it will be problematic like in real life.

best is to add only people you trust in real life or trust from other communitys too. and not to add random unkown strangers.

If you have questions, ask them in the chatlobbys, there is always someone to answer them.

please read http://redd.it/18vsq5

or question me here :)
