I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). I want to use wireless Internet on Ubuntu and thus need to install Idea Net Setter(ISP) for the same. In the USB drive I can find some files, one of the files read as below..:
--How to Install----------------------
You need login as root *
Run "tar jxvf linux_install.tar.bz2"
Run
./install
in TERMINAL to install MobilePartner
eg: # bash //install
If you had installed this software in your system before, you will get a prompt: "The software is exist, do you want overwrites? ([Y]/[N])", enter "y" to overwrites or "n" to exit.
If you do not had installed this software in your system before, you will get a prompt: "Please input the install path[/usr/local/Mobile_Partner]:". Then you can input install path(fullpath), or you may using the default path(/usr/local/Mobile_Partner) by press ENTER direct
Finish installing
--How to run--------------------------
* From shortcut in desktop
Run MobilePartner in your install path
eg: # //MobilePartnerPlug in your device, it will run automatically (Not supported in Xandros)
I inserted the USB and tried to change my directory but it didn't work:
vipul@vipul-desktop:~$ cd /
vipul@vipul-desktop:/$ cd media
vipul@vipul-desktop:/media$ ls
Idea Net Setter
vipul@vipul-desktop:/media$ cd Idea Net Setter
bash: cd: Idea: No such file or directory
Then I directly pasted tar jxvf linux_install.tar.bz2 in the terminal and it didn't work:
vipul@vipul-desktop:/media$ tar jxvf linux_install.tar.bz2
tar: linux_install.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Then I copied the whole installation program into my home folder, changed directories, ran it again and still nothing happened:
vipul@vipul-desktop:~$ cd Idea Net Setter
vipul@vipul-desktop:~/Idea$ ls
AutoRun.exe autorun.sh install_linux Startup.ico
AUTORUN.INF Idea Net Setter Linux SysConfig.dat
vipul@vipul-desktop:~/Idea$ tar jxvf linux_install.tar.bz2
tar: linux_install.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
vipul@vipul-desktop:~/Idea$ cd Linux
vipul@vipul-desktop:~/Idea/Linux$ tar jxvf linux_install.tar.bz2
tar: linux_install.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
vipul@vipul-desktop:~/Idea/Linux$ ls
7zr DataCard_Verify MobilePartner.bin SysConfig.dat
data.bin install readme.txt
Please help. I'm clueless and don't know what to do ?
