I totally understand that. well... before you get yourself fired, and I get hunted by your ninja wife, maybe it's better to compile the thing from source smile

If you need a password to execute a sudo command, it is asking for the admin password on your machine.

nope, it's for the above link

One thing I've learned in the 10 years of being a Linux user, compiling things from source will usually take a lot of time and leave you with a program that doesn't work, because something went wrong. I've stopped using software that is not available in repositories or at least as a .deb package.
So if you want my 2c, keep windows on a separate partition, dual boot with GRUB (the Ubuntu installer will do that automatically) and use the good old EMS flasher app for windows.

I guess I sort of regret and feel bad about being condescending about OP's linux inexperience. Thinking back to my early linux days, I was probably in the same boat

Jeez guys, give Sesska a break

yep, cheers...
Linux is pretty new for me as a concept, which does not mean that i don't want to do the ''linux way'' or read the reamefiles.. oO

I know how to open console, putting very basic commands into it, but still not quite get the overall ''logic''... basically when everything goes fine... everything's fine... if something mess up... i'm screwed, as error messages are another language to me.

then... I got something like 1/2h a day access to my own PC, being at work / out of house most of the time... (this was the ''poor little thing'' minute)

then type "make". If this goes through without errors, you can then type "sudo make install" to install.

will retry this evening, something messed up yesterday, cheers²

That was a ninja edit. Try this out and see if it works for you. The program is still command line though.

and i agree on people who doesnt even read a readme smile

btw sorry for the off topic SESSKA

Sesska, you're gonna have to get used to doing things the Linux way, I'm afraid. Which means you gotta learn to compile things yourself. In this case, it should be easy - just open a console, navigate to the directory where the EMS flasher sources are sitting (use "cd" to change directories, like on DOS/Windows command prompt), then type "make". If this goes through without errors, you can then type "sudo make install" to install.
If you get errors, post the output of the console here (copy it with Ctrl+Shift+C) and post it here, I'll try to help you.

Edit: And yes, I have to agree with others on one point: READMEs are there for reading. Especially on Linux.

By 'transparent' do you mean 'easy to use'? If so, I don't think it is. Early on (2004), maybe the goal was to be usable by anyone, but at that point I think usable meant that you didn't have to have a CS degree to install it on your machine. Anybody who thinks they'll be able to use any linux distro as their daily driver and not have to use a shell at some point is misguided in my opinion.

Having said that, I guess I sort of regret and feel bad about being condescending about OP's linux inexperience. Thinking back to my early linux days, I was probably in the same boat. However, I felt like OP's attitude came across like he couldn't be bothered to spend 10 seconds compiling an otherwise extremely useful and well developed program. So I think my response should have been more along the lines of "What business do you have using linux if you can't even bother to read a readme?"
