I can't seem to install applications using xterm.

I have the Rootsh programming and start with sudo gainroot.

Problem is, even using the correct structure it just tells me that the directory is not found, I don't get it....
msg back with the exact thing that you are typing into xterminal.

Hi,

First, please allow me to remind you that installing .debs directly is not recommended. You do not know what the source is, and as a general rule, installing a .deb is like running an unknown executable on Windows; only do it when you trust the source.

That being said, you can open the X-Terminal, and type:

dpkg -i <filename>.

For example:

dpkg -i /home/user/Downloads/example.deb

Hope this helps,
I type sudo gainroot then dp -i /home/user/Downloads/example.deb
but it says cannot access archive: No such file or directory.
altho the file is already there.

It's dpkg, not dp and it's unlikely to be in /home/user/Downloads - either /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads would be more likely.

Hey guys, I downloaded ScummV .deb-File and want to install it. I will install it by typing dpkg -i scummvm_1.1.0-maemo_armel.deb, correct?

Also, after I have installed it will I be able to remove it using the App messenger? If yes, will that completely remove it or will bits remain?

Thanks in advance!

That's correct, yes.

Yes, you can remove it via App Manager. That'll remove all the application files, but leave behind configuration files (as with any other application you uninstall).

What happens with dependecies? I'd like to install https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa..._1.1.6_all.deb but it requires some newer package dependencies. Is it enough using dpkg -i command?
Thanks.

No. You'll have to do something like:
Code:
apt-get install -f
. I don't remember the exact command.

Alternatively, if you install aptly from extras-testing, you can just do "aptly install <deb file>" and it will install dependencies for you. The only dependency for aptly is python, so if you have that installed, you could technically just "dpkg -i aptly-*.deb"
