..to add-remove software where is software source and how do you install software-sources

Hmm ?

The software sources are text lists of the repositories and they are at the /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list (1)

As those files are text files you could edit them with a text editor but you will need root rights.

(1) man sources

SOURCES.LIST.D
The /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory provides a way to add sources.list entries in
separate files. The format is the same as for the regular sources.list file. File names
need to end with .list and may only contain letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), underscore
(_), hyphen (-) and period (.) characters. Otherwise they will be silently ignored.

There are also editors for the software sources: There should/could be K > Applications > System > Sofware Sources

There are two front-ends:
Package: software-properties-kde

manage the repositories that you install software from

This software provides an abstraction of the used apt repositories. It allows you to easily
manage your distribution and independent software vendor software sources.

This package contains a QT/KDE based graphical interface.

Package: software-properties-gtk

manage the repositories that you install software from

This software provides an abstraction of the used apt repositories. It allows you to easily
manage your distribution and independent software vendor software sources.

This package contains a GTK+ based graphical interface.

sudo apt-get install

sudo aptitude install

I can't install any packages

Could you tell what are you trying to do ??
What kind of output do you get (errors) ?

Re: kubutu-9.04 Software-Sources

Here is Error message I get when trying to install some packages. are these the correct software-sources for Kubuntu ?

And Kde wanted me to report a crash, but when I tried to send report I got another error message which is also below. kdebase-runtime problem.



Download failed.
The list of errors is attached. The recovery for this case is currently not implemented. If you see 404 errors, it might be useful to try fetching package lists (see the Sources tab) and retrying the operation.

The error was:
APT Error. Context:
Package download failed,

Yes, you are using local (us) mirror. I'm using the main server at the alpha stage. I don't know why it says "Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'" When googling with the error message:

Kde wanted me to report a crash, but when I tried to send report I got another error message which is also below. kdebase-runtime problem...

The problem cannot be reported:

You have some obsolete package versions installed.

I think that the apport (1) system will check if there are newer packages and suggest that you will try to upgrade first. They are trying to minimize the number of already solved bug reports.


(1) apport

automatically generate crash reports for debugging

apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.

This package also provides a command line frontend for browsing and
handling the crash reports. For desktops, you should consider
installing the GTK+ or Qt user interface (apport-gtk or apport-qt).

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomatedProblemReports for more
information.

Are you behind a business firewall where you need to use a proxy server to get to the internet?

If not, can you go to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse with the web browser on the machine in question?
