apt-get does't work on Kubuntu
Hi,
I'm currently on Kubuntu. I tried to install software like skype and firefox using apt-get. But the terminal always replies couldn't find the package. And I've downloaded the deb file, but it doesn't work when I double-click on it. Anybody can help me? Henry |
Code:
wget http://home.versateladsl.be/wvermeir/ubuntu/skype_1.2.0.18-1_i386.deb Code:
sudo dpkg -i skype_1.2.0.18-1_i386.deb |
You should set up an FTP/HTTP/CD/DVD repository in the file
/etc/apt/sources.list and then do an Code:
sudo apt-get update Code:
sudo apt-get install program That's the correct way to use apt-get. Otherwise you can install locally downloaded packages using dpkg directly as explained above. |

@odcheck The link is dead - wget http://home.versateladsl.be/wvermeir....18-1_i386.deb .
Skype is available to the *buntus from the Medibuntu Repository. You should add this repository. Have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Me...20Repositories for installing. Note that it has a GPG key. There are therefore two steps - the sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org etc AND the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring etc step. Firefox should, however, be easily available. Have you tried connecting to the internet, opening Konsole Terminal Program and inputting: Quote:

apt-cache search firefox Manually downloaded .deb packages can be installed using Code:
dpkg -i packagename.deb Easiest way of course, if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, is to use the graphical front-end to apt if one is available -- for example Synaptic on Ubuntu or Adept on Kubuntu (found at the menu). Remember to refresh package lists first when the program opens, then search for a package, mark it (or them) to be installed and apply your changes. |

I think the problem was I had changed the sources.list, but I didn't updated it afterwards. |
Btw, how can I check out the dependencies of the package?
