Well i know its an old thread...but:

 

You are running ubuntu which handles with .deb based packages. You try to install an Autodesk product which is natively available in .rpm based packages.

 

RPM based packages are built for Linux systems like openSUSE or RedHat for example.

 

Ubuntu cant handle them (well it can but that would be a bit to complicated based on your knowledge about ubuntu <-> redhat and deb <-> rpm). You will need to convert the rpm to a deb and then try to install the deb file instead of your rpm.

 

If you go that way you will need to install it on your own, because the setup.sh shipping with your Autodesk product will search and install .rpm files! Thats what you can see in the error dialog box.

 

Ask almighty google about ".rpm and .deb" "how to install .deb packages using dpkg". After that try to google "alien ubuntu" and "install maya on ubuntu"

 

So far, good luck

screenshot2.pngI'm using Ubuntu Studio  14.04, and yes, you can Install Mudbox on Ubuntu.

First of All, unfortunatelly Autodesk don't give support to Debian distributions (Bad autodesk), but, Linux Users are Power users, so our knowledge is from internet.

First. If you have installed Maya rencently, the following certain instructions will help to do this.

sudo mv /usr/bin/rpm_backup /usr/bin/rpm

This is a movement you have to do if you want to make correctly a deb. Alien uses deb to convert the package into deb. That is something I was getting wrong. If not, so, you're ready for the following instructions.

 

Open terminal, copy and paste, enter.

 

#01 if clean install, then . . . maybe you need some libraries

 

sudo apt-get install lsb-core gamin libtiff4 csh tcsh libglw1-mesa libglw1-mesa-dev mesa-utils libaudiofile-dev elfutils gamin libxp6 libxpm4 libxt6 libxp6 libxmu6 libxau6 libxinerama1 xfs xfstt ttf-liberation ttf-mscorefonts-installer xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi alien libssl0.9.8 libjpeg62

 

#02


mkdir /home/$HOMEUSER/mudbox2015_setup

 

#03


cd ~./mudbox2015_setup

 

#04 Make cd and drag the folder to the terminal where the tgz is, is just simple as that

 

tar -zxvf Autodesk_Mudbox_2015_EFGJ_Linux64.tgz

 

#05 change permitions to write on the directory

 

chmod a+x *

 

#06 Create tmp directory

 

sudo mkdir /usr/tmp

 

#07 Give full permitions to the dir

 

sudo chmod 777 /usr/tmp

 

#08 Convert RPM Packages

 

for i in *.rpm; do sudo alien -cv $i; done

 

#09 CHECK, if you have installed Maya already, you'll have to do this step. Maya and Mudbox share certain libs

 

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite mudbox2014-5-64_2014.5-234_amd64.deb

 

#10 if  clean install,just Install the package

 sudo dpkg -i mudbox2015-0-64_2015.0-986_amd6.deb

 

#11 Move to the install dir 

 

cd ~./mudbox2015_setup

 

 

#12 creat a document

 

gedit mudboxinstall.c

 

# it will pop up gedit window, copy and paste the following

 

int main (void) {return 0;}

 

# save it, and close, then compile it with the following

 

gcc mudboxinstall.c

 

 

#13 Return rpm where it belongs

sudo mv /usr/bin/rpm /usr/bin/rpm_backup

# then

sudo cp a.out /usr/bin/rpm

#14 Run the setup file

chmod +x ./setup

 

#

 

sudo ./setup

# Follow the GUI, then put your SN, and data, Next, and close.

#15 Run with sudo the first time to activate

 

sudo mudbox 

 

The origial tutorial is in certain site, I can pass you the page in a PM

Package xfs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Package libtiff4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libtiff4' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'xfs' has no installation candidate

os:ubuntu 14.04.1

add saucy repo to install libtiff4 and xfs

 

 

sudo su


echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy main universe' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra.list


apt-get update
