installing kompozer

Asked by gufghur

Hi all,

I'm trying to install kompozer on ubuntu 11.10. I found a partial answer through:

    118446: How do I install Kompozer? (Answered)
    posted on 2010-07-21 in “kompozer” package in Ubuntu

But since i'm an absolute rooky on ubuntu (every consideration is highly appreciated), I'm afraid of just trying to work my way through with that answer, since my version is 11.10

Just run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install kompozer

That will install the package.

Thanks!!

I've just promised myself to dig a bit into using the terminal so you guys can devote your time to other things.

Type:

kompozer

in full, does it appear?

no, at first it didn't, but since I did a manual search via home folder, the dash now comes up with 2 results, a read-me file about mozilla and the original download folder of kompozer. But none of these start up the app offcourse.

Can you give the output of:

gedit /usr/share/applications/kompozer.desktop

Thanks

output is:

** (gedit:3744) : WARNING **: Could not load theme icon gtk-home: Icon 'gtk-home' not present in theme

... and also gedit opened, but nothing was there.

ok, use tab to complete the kompozer.desktop filename, I may be slightly off as I don't use the app. You get the idea.

Basically as far as I remember the app will only appear in KDE, so you will need to tweak the file to appear in all desktops.

I'm sorry, but your last answer is completely chinese to me ... use tab? >What is tab, and how do i complete kompozer.desktop filename?

ls /usr/share/applications | grep -i kom

Thanks

try:

grep -i kom /usr/share/applications/*

This outputs a small bucket-full of information, wherein <kom> is printed in red. But none of those red printed kom's appear to be from kompozer.

Seems its not there, if you run:

kompozer

Does it run ok?

it is there!!

I typed kompozer in the terminal and it said that kompozer was not installed, and asked to type:

sudo apt-get install kompozer

which I did, and terminal came into action. And, it is listed in the dash.
Although, it's strange, since that syntax is part of what you suggested in your first answer:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install kompozer

Which I typed just like that, but maybe I should not have used the ";" and the sentences had to be fed to terminal one by one?
