I am a recent convert to Ubuntu (14.04) and still quite a novice. Looking for a DVD writing software, and dissatisfied with both Brasero and K3b, I downloaded Nero Linux 4. This works pretty well except in one respect: it cannot do multisession writing. I gathered from the Internet that Nero Linux 3 has no such issue, so I downloaded it. But Nero Linux 3 requires installation via command line, with which I am all at sea.
The instruction that accompanies it says:
INSTALLATION NERO LINUX 3.0.5.1
===============================
OPEN TERMINAL IN THIS FOLDER
============================
become root (su or sudo depending on your distro)
tar xzvf nerolinux-3.5.1.0.tgz -C /
nero
This I am unable to execute. I cannot even make out what is meant by "Open Terminal in this folder/ become root" etc. I just tried typing sudo apt-get
and then pasting the rest in Terminal, but this was rejected. I would be immensely grateful if someone could provide a step-by-step how-to-do, preferably with specific reference to the above installation instruction, assuming zero knowledge on my part.
apt-get
got rejected because it is meant for installing applications which are provided by Ubuntu's infrastructure. It is recommended you use this method. I cant compare it to windows as they dont have such a facility at all. Obviously Nero Linux 3 is provided externally. One application worth checking out may be xfburn
