I heard about that..

There is a command that auto installs software for you or something like that..

i forgot what it was.. (something like sudo... not sure) do some searching.

Thanks a lot, i have actually found something good on my own, if anybody want to know how to install something in Ubuntu i actually suggest this site


http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu

It actually answers many of my Ubuntu questions, (but i only know that one works for sure) but next i will try to install emule

Thanks a lot

sudo is actually the command used to give non root users root permissions within a defined scope...it is often used for installations if root permissions are required to install, but it does not install anything itself.

As for Ubuntu, you can get almost anything directly from the Synaptic package manager...it subdivides available software into categories for ease search.

As ubuntu is a debian build, you can also use the apt-get functionality.

Totem Media Player or XMMS play MP3s

i am having problems with the apt-get, it says

E: couldn't find package (then whatever the package)
example

[email protected]:~$ sudo apt-get install amule
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package amule

what does this mean

*EDIT* i got what the actual error was

Does it give you this error for any package? Or just that one?

As for amule, you can try downloading the file directly from here.

videolan is a great media player for all platforms that i use myself, and it plays both video and audio. check it out. http://www.videolan.org/ and this page has the info for all the different os's it runs on http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

did you run

sudo apt-get update

first?



Also it may be in the universe or multiverse trees

ubuntu guide, adding extra repos

[bunced]

I second the fact it's probably something to do with needing to add universe to the respitory

mplayer, hands down. although I haven't actually used it yet, I've just heard. just make sure you have a later 3.x version of GCC. They're really picky about it.

[bunced]

I disagree. MPlayer is clunky and doesn't fit into GNOME (which Ubuntu uses) well at all
