I am in the process of building a social site using Drupal and realized I didn’t have GD support for PHP5 installed on my server. I’m sure this is a common roadblock for people new to installing Drupal or even just PHP so here is what you need to do:
Open terminal and type in the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install php5-gd
Now restart Apache
# sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
There you go, you now have GD Support for PHP5 in Ubuntu. Get your Drupal on!
For those of you who are having troubles with updating the Avant Windows Navigator for Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon - I hope this helps.
After installing AWN you add these repositories to your source.list:
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator
And when you sudo apt-get update you get this error:
W: GPG error: http://download.tuxfamily.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public
key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3E231AC7F4ECF181
To fix this, please run the following commands:
$ wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/reacocard.asc
$ sudo apt-key add reacocard.asc
$ rm reacocard.asc
Now run
$ sudo apt-get update
No more errors!
