VUTRAX Downloads: Linux Trouble Shooting

Checking the Downloads

Once you have the files correct, Vutrax installation is usually trouble free. The installer and install files are self checking, but some corruptions may make the installation crash or hang before a sensible error message can be produced.

By far the most common problem is that one or more file downloads stopped before the end.
The exact size of each of the main download files is tabulated in File Sizes (best printed for reference). Your first action should be to check these sizes against those of the files you downloaded.

Linux Graphical interfaces will list only approximate sizes, with K signifying 1024 bytes. To view the exact sizes:-

    Start a Terminal/Shell/Bash text window and use command
    ls  -l  <Download Directory Path Name>
            (the option is minus and lower case L)
    To print the list instead of displaying it use ls  -l  path  >  lpr

In all cases if there are spaces in the download directory path name include the whole path name in double quotes.

Compare the file sizes of your downloaded files against those on the web site, and fetch again any that are of the wrong length

If you are still having trouble, or your installed system is not working or there are no icons for it, have a look at Software Advice Notice (SAN) 203

If your problem is to do with installing downloaded files across a local network, the techniques required are described in Installation ReadMe file which can be fetched from the Installation page.
