    Problem Installation

    I have installed Kubuntu and I try to add somethig from Adept and it is not allowed, everythig is gray I can see installed programs only...

    I tried to enter in console for example
    root@aleks-desktop:~# apt-get install vmware-player
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    E: Couldn't find package vmware-player

    What ever I try to download I get message E: Couldn't find package


    then tried to install synaptic and I get this

    root@aleks-desktop:~# sudo apt-get install synaptic
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Package synaptic 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 synaptic has no installation candidate

    Probably a problem with your /etc/apt/sources.list file. If you post it, we can see the trouble.

        Re: Problem Installation

        There is, or has been, some problem with your access to the CS (Serbia & Montenegro) mirror server. See how there are severals cases of this:

        # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
        Maybe the server was down for maintenance, or maybe your ISP had some problem, or something like that. I would open this file with Kate in Super User mode (by doing Alt-F2 "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list") and carefully delete just those lines that read like the one I quoted above, so that your repository sources appear in pairs, e.g. change this:

        Code:
        # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
deb [url]http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] dapper-security main
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
deb-src [url]http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] dapper-security main

        to read like this:


        Code:
        deb [url]http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] dapper-security main
deb-src [url]http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] dapper-security main
        and then save the file before exiting Kate. Leave a blank line between the paired sets of repositories and the other entries in the file, and a blank line after the last entry.

        Also, out of curiosity, what made you pick the Dapper version to install at this time? Dapper was released in June of 2006, as a Long Term Support release, but we're now only 6 weeks from the next LTS release, 8.04 Hardy Heron. There's nothing wrong with Dapper, technically speaking, but I would think you would want to start with 7.10 and then upgrade that to 8.04 when it is released.

        Hope this helps!
