    need help with installation of KQEMU

    Hi, ( I'm a terrible newbie at commands in konsole, but slowly getting there with practice, but need more help in compiling)
    I tied to install Qemu for a tar.gz and had problems as I couldn't extract it to the / , as I didn't have permission.
    I did a google and found an earlier Debian version of QEMU and I installed it with the Kubuntu Package menu > install package.
    Then I got a notification in Adept that an update for QEMU was available , so beauty I fluke that!.
    QEMU is successfully installed now. But I don't know how to start it.
    I presume I need the KQEMU to use it .
    But that is wher I'm having trouble installing it.
    I have downloaded the tar.gz for it on my desktop.
    The installations instructions on the web site mention cd /tmp and the like. ??
    Can some on please help me with the codes I need to install it?

    The web site instructions are as follows:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    2. Installation
    2.1 KQEMU Compilation (Linux only)

    First ensure that you have a recent version of QEMU (>= 0.8.1) with the KQEMU support enabled (this is the default).

    Then decompress the KQEMU sources:

    cd /tmp
    tar zxvf kqemu-x.y.z.tar.gz
    cd kqemu-x.y.z

    Then you configure KQEMU and build it (usually no options are needed):

    ./configure
    make

    Then type as root user:

    make install

    to install KQEMU in `/usr/local'.
    ---------------------------------------------------
    My downoaded tar.gz .... kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz is located on my desktop ..... /home/defaultusers/Destop
    Many thanks

    Look no command line!

    A very good source of (K)Ubuntu programs is Linux App Finder at http://linuxappfinder.com/. You can get qemu from here: http://linuxappfinder.com/package/qemu

    Download the relevant package. It will appear as Debian. Right click on it and choose Kubuntu Package Menu>Install Package. It will report that there are Broken
    Packages. Open Synaptic and under Status qemu will appear as a Broken Package. Mark it for reinstallation. This will fix the dependancies. In a terminal type "qemu"

        Kqemu isn't described as a gui, it's described as an accelerator.

        You haven't said which version of Kubuntu you have. Have you seen "Unable to compile kqemu" (which for Edgy) at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=308720

        Have you also seen KQEmu on Ubuntu Community Docs at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KQEmu - the "Automated Installation" doesn't work for me.

          I'm using Edgy .
          I tried the automatic install.
          I get and error that I nned to be root to install script, even though It says I'm Im root in Konsole?

          error script...

          defaultusers@defaultdesktop:~$ sudo su

          -ne \E[31m
          ERROR: You must run this script as root!

          I tried the compiling from source as well and at the last few steps got an error.
          ( I copied and pasted the script)

          Another dumb question if I may, but how do I run QEMU , I type QEMU in the Run command and nothing happens.

            Linux is case sensitive. There is a difference between typing qemu and QEMU (or Qemu etc.)

            Type qemu in the Run Command
            You will see a button marked "Options" - click on it
            You will see a box marked "Run in Terminal Window" - put an X in it
            Click on run

            The next time you type qemu it should recognise that it is to be run in a teminal window and do it automatically

              Thanks for your patience and help arochester.
              It still wouldn't work.
              I did find a post with some installation codes on VMware server and successfully installed that program instead of QEMU.
              It's up and running, good emulation speed , except I don't have sound on it yet.
              cheers, Rovernaut
