Re: Installing Debian Packages

If you are trying to install a .deb package, right-click on it then select Kubuntu Package Menu > Install Package.

You can do a similar thing in Konsole by going to the directory where the .deb is located and typing:

sudo dpkg -i <.deb filename>

Btw, if you're trying to install a program, try looking in the repositories first if it's available there. It will save you a lot of effort if you install from the repositories.
