Ubuntu

12.10 and GetDeb

Asked by Janno2

After many hours of trying to get Entangle working,
I did chose to switch from Ubutu 12.04 tot 12.10.
After that I went to www.getdeb.net.
And I installed getdeb-repositiry 0.1-1 getdeb1.
Which deemed to work, the screen tolf me that the installatin was succesfull.

I went to www.get.net/updates/ubunto/12.10, scrolled down tot Entangle 0.5.1-1 ~ getdeb1
and clicked the button:"Install this now"
However: I got "not found in existing software sources".

Uding Y PPA manager I did not see the getdeb repository.

Why am I informed that the installtion of GetDeb was succesfull, but is the PPA not found in Y PPA manager

 The answer is:

janno@HP:~$ apt-cache policy entangle; lsb_release -a

N: Kan pakket entangle niet vinden

LSB Version:
core-2.0-ia32:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-ia32:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Description: Ubuntu 12.10

Release: 12.10

Codename: quantal

janno@HP:~$

First: I'm a newbie, switching from Windows to Ubuntu.
Went well, up to now.

The Dutch sentence after the N: says: "cannot find package entangle"

Which is correct, since Entangle is not installed.

I tried to, these are the steps a took:

Upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10
Used www.getdeb.net
Installed getdeb-repository 0.1.-1getdeb1
Seemed to work.

Went to www.getdeb.net/updates/ubunto/12.10
Looked fot Entangle
Found it at www.getdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/12.10/page=5

Got "not found in existing software sources".

Used Y PPA manager
No getdeb ppa found.

Regards

Jan

Did you actually add the getdeb repo by installing the deb to add it?

I guess not.

I did install the GetDeb repository configuration package.
It reads: this package creates a configuration entry for the getdeb repository,

However: no configuration entry found by me.

So next newbie-question: how to configure the repository, in order to be able to
install Entangle and all dependencies?
