Enabling universe and multiverse repositories

From Erlands Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The first thing I usually do after the installation is to enable the universe and multiverse repositories. My experience is that these are needed as soon as you wan’t to follow any “howto” instruction on the internet so its best to enable them directly so you don’t have to do it later.

  • 1. sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
  • 2. Find the following two lines: 
#deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe
#deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe
  • 3. Uncomment the lines and add multiverse at the end: 
deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
  • 4. Save and exit
  • 5. Run: sudo apt-get update
