Re: Some packages aren't available
No I didn't I looked for it in synaptic and they weren't there. I am not home right now so I can't try to use apt-get, but I am sure since they arent in synaptic they wont be there.Originally posted by Rog131Kubuntu 9.04<br /><br /><br />http://www.kubuntucomputergeeks.comComment

Re: Some packages aren't available
The first thing I did after installing Jaunty was to open the Kpackagekit and look to see what was in the repository. I found nothing. Kpackagekit didn't seem to want to display anything!
So, I opened a Kconsole and entered:
That brought me up to KDE 4.2.1 and everything seemed to work after that, except for FF3, which still leaves a live zombie.sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
