I'm planning on giving Kubuntu a shot soon. The disks that I ordered God knows how long ago arrived recently in the post (which was a great surprise to me). XD

Ok, question. how do i install opera? XD

[travis]

Lmao, everyone is using linux!
First:
$ Sudo apt-get install synaptic

Then

$ sudo synaptic

Enable all repositories

then reload...

$ sudo reload

then

$ sudo apt-get install opera

Also, I suggest Automatix:

Why?

[travis]

did you do
Sudo apt-get install synaptic
first?

And if synaptic opens, don't worry about what else it says

[Gargar]

yep,
but when i put
Sudo apt-get install synaptic
it says sudo command not found so i got rid of that and just did apt-get install synaptic and it went through it all.


Bleh, ok yeah it did open up. XD

Ok so the window opens up am i saposed to go in there and through setting check all the repositories then click the reload button?

Another error. XD

CODE

root@steve-desktop:/home/steve# apt-get install opera
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package opera 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 opera has no installation candidate

I'm so confused. XD

Travis' instructions were good but I think somewhere along the line, he was wrong. Let me try

These are Simon's instructions to me, altered slightly:
$ sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
Add at the bottom and save:
deb http://www.beerorkid.com/automatix/apt dapper main

$ wget http://www.beerorkid...apt/key.gpg.asc
$ gpg --import key.gpg.asc
$ gpg --export --armor 521A9C7C | sudo apt-key add -

$ sudo apt-get install synaptic
$ sudo synaptic

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install automatix
$ automatix

A program will launch with a bunch of programs listed. Select the ones you want and then press ok. Opera will be in there.

[Gargar]

When i try to open up sources.list it doesn't open right or something, its just a blank page. -_-

ger now it worked. XD

ok now i get to the sudo apt-get update part and i put it in and it dosn't do anything...
ok now i got it to open but i don't see opera on there. XD

It should reload all of your repositories...but if it doesnt, just do this instead:

$ sudo apt-get install synaptic
$ sudo synaptic

click reload in the top left. click search and search for automatix. in the search results, right click automatix and mark for install. click apply. back in the terminal type

$ automatix

and continue from there

Got what to open?

The window with all the programs. Went through everything now and i have the window with the list of programs open but opera isn't in there.

[Hydrogen]

opera is definately in automatix...look harder . its alphabetical

[Gargar]

Lol its not, the list isn't that big.
I think i know why.

In the part where you said to put
deb http://www.beerorkid.com/automatix/apt dapper main
at the bottom of the file and save it wont save...

The document could not be saved it was not possible to write to...

how did you get automatix to run without being able to save that into your sources.list ...

and did you add sudo before you did kate /etc/sources.list?

the command should look like this:
$ sudo kate /etc/sources.list

[Gargar]

Yes thats when it opens it up and its gives me an error that says cannot talk to Klauncher. then its just blank and theres nothing there.

ok...i dont know lol

you can download opera here. remember to select the correct distribution: http://www.opera.com...?platform=linux

if you dont download as a .tar.gz, it comes as a .deb file. use this command to install it
$ dpkg -i <package_name>.deb

[113]

Ok... Why do you bother with synaptic?
Can't you just do apt-get update? And if you want to search for a package, why don't you use use apt-cache search <name>?

*gawd*, honestly...


BTW smart ftw

dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege

Add a sudo at the start of the line...

And if you really have to use apt-get repositories, use aptitude (instead of apt-get)... It handles dependencies alot better :)

now it asks for a password but it wont let me type anything. -_-
