I have tried the following command and its just hanging.

$ cpio -i (Filename)

$ cpio -idmv (file_name)

$ cpio -idcmv (filename)

$ cpio -Hhpodc -idmv (file_name)

None of above commands are working. So try the following command :

$ cat (file_name) | cpio -idmv

This should work fine .

Instructions for Installing RPM Files Using Alien

Installing Alien

You can install alien itself from the Ubuntu Universe repository by adding the repository to your list of sources and doing:

$sudo apt-get update

$sudo apt-get install alien

Installing the .rpm file

To install the .rpm file, you first need to convert it to a .deb file which can be installed on Ubuntu. I assume that you downloaded the package to your Desktop (~/Desktop is the directory). You can convert the .rpm to a .deb by using the following commands.

$cd ~/Desktop

This will change the directory to your desktop, where you have the .rpm file.

$sudo alien -k name-of-rpm-file.rpm

This will convert the .rpm to a .deb. The “-k” will keep the version number. Otherwise alien adds a “1″ to the version number. Tip: Use Smart Tab Completion to avoid mistyping the file names

$sudo dpkg -i name-of-deb-file.deb

This will install the .deb package. Try reading the alien manpage for more details on how to convert other kinds of packages and the options available.

Root user has all the administrator privileges so whenever you need to edit system files or configuration from within Gnome, you will feel the need to login to Ubuntu as a root user. But the question is here is “How to login to Ubuntu as a root user?“

Just follow the steps below:

• Open the terminal and type:

sudo passwd root

• When you see the prompt that says “Enter new UNIX password“, enter the password you want for the root user and confirm it.

• Type:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf

• Locate the line that says “AllowRoot=false“. Change it to “AllowRoot=true“.

• Save the file.

• Exit gedit, logout and then reboot.

However the only issue in this case is that by logging to Ubuntu as root you are making your operating system more vulnerable.

For Ubuntu users it is recommended to use the account which they created on time of install and use the “sudo” command while in terminal to execute commands as root user.

Log into ubuntu as Root

I’m sure there are lots of ways – one is:

cat /proc/version

Another way is:

uname -a

I suggested the “-r” parameter as the original thread question was “How do I check what Kernel im using?” and it was obvious that the kernel type was Linux.

The “-a” parameter will show everything that uname can report which is more than just kernel version.

But now I have a solution.

1. Open Ubuntu.
2. Insert cd linux Ubuntu.
3. Open terminal (Application then chose Accessories then Terminal).
4. Write those commands follows:
   1. sudo apt-cdrom add
   2. sudo apt-get update
   3. sudo apt-get install build-essentil
