how to install tar.gz file in linux

as root

Code:

tar -zxvf nameof.tar.gz

this command above is the equivalent of unzip in windows (it uncompresses an archive)

then usually (but always read INSTALL file or README etc)

Code:

./configure
make
make install

you usually can do configure and make as a regular user and make install as root. But these are very generic questions and the INSTALL file or whatever it is called in each particular case will give detailed instructions and if you still don't know then ask.

How do I install a .bin file?

Go into a terminal and issue the following command in the directory where the bin file is:

Code:

chmod a+x name_of_file.bin

Then run it by writing:

Code:

sudo ./name_of_file.bin

Setting modem smart evdo di ubuntu 9.10 dengan pon

1. cek USB ID

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1058:1003 Western Digital Technologies, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 19d2:fff1
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

catatan : 19d2:fff1 itu berati modemnya sudah terdeteksi, klo yang keluar itu id 19d2:fff5 artinya usb storage yang terdeteksi, ini perlu diubah dengan menggunakan bantuan "USB_ModeSwitch".

2. USB_ModeSwitch
Edit config /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf:

########################################################
# /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
#
# Smart ZTE AC2726 (EVDO)
#
DefaultVendor= 0x19d2
DefaultProduct= 0xfff5
TargetVendor= 0x19d2
TargetProduct= 0xfff1
MessageContent="5553424312345678c00000008000069f030000000000000000000000000000"

4. Bikin berkas baru etc/udev/rules.d/99-zte-ac2726.rules untuk udev:

########################################################
# /etc/udev/rules.d/99-zte-ac2726.rules
#
# Smart ZTE AC2726 (EVDO)
#
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", SYSFS{idProduct}=="fff1", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch --default-vendor 0x19d2 --default-product 0xfff1 --message-content 5553424312345678c00000008000069f030000000000000000000000000000"

5. Cabut dan colok ulang usb modemnya lalu jalankan lsusb, harus dapat 19d2:fff1, lalu jalankan modprobe:

$ sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x15eb product=0x0001

6. Bikin berkas baru /etc/ppp/peers/evdo untuk koneksi menggunakan pon:

#
# /etc/ppp/peers/evdo
#
hide-password
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/evdo"
debug
ttyUSB0
921600
defaultroute
noipdefault
user "smart"
remotename smart
ipparam smart
crtscts
lock
usepeerdns

7. Tambah password:

#
# /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
#
smart * smart

8. Bikin berkas baru /etc/chatscripts/evdo:

#
# /etc/chatscripts/evdo
#
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT DELAYED
