    Installing programs

    I tried Kubuntu 6.06 from a live CD and was able to install Firefox from Add/Delete Programs. However, after I installed Kubuntu to a hard drive Firefox and others e.g. Kpackage were greyed out and couldn't be selected. What do I need to do to be able to select these.

    Re: Installing programs

    <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories

    That's info from the bot on IRC. You need to follow the steps and setup additional repos such as multiverse and universe. Once you have them setup then you can do the following:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install <package>
    You'll want to replace <package> with the actual package you want to install. You do the above command from a terminal of course.
