How do you run .deb files?
 
I just downloaded a .deb file. Does anyone know how to run this bugger? Or is it just an archive, and not like the wonderful and userfriendly .rpm format?

dpkg -i filename.deb

You're my hero, MrCheeks! Thanks a lot.

Is there a way I could also do this from the GUI?

You could install kpackage and use it to install software.

Time to turn Ubuntu into Kubuntu, I guess. :) Thanks again.

ubuntu software center
 
i always easily just double click it, and ubuntu software center will appear (as default program for deb files). then click "install" button. that's it ^_^
