i'm new to kubuntu and cannot figure out how to download and install new software like opera and keepassx. I go to adept and cannot figure out how to do it.

Hello
Being new to Kubuntu here is some good reference guides that will show you how to work with Adept and other info. Hope this helps.

And once you get a hang of Adept (check the links provided in the previous post), you need to add/edit your software repositories for opera and keepassx

Opera (as a commercial product) has been made available from the "commercial" repo and keepassx is available from "universe" (which isn't enabled by default)

Here is a step-by-step guide how to enable universe:

For opera, you need to add a new repository, which you can also do from adept (manage repositories)
the repository line to add is:

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ dapper-commercial main

Remember to click 'Fetch Updates' in Adept after adding/enabling the repos to refresh the package lists.
