I tried the following commands apt-get install gnome gdm menu. I get "couln't find package menu" Then tried "apt-get install gnome" "Broken packages" what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it.
according to your ubuntu version cat /etc/issue you should check the resources at sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list if there isn't any problem then just run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install package_name or simply for upgrade your system sudo apt-get upgrade PS: when everything seems difficult from command line then just try to use synaptic
Still no luck Tried “apt-get install gnome” Systems comes back with “Package gnome is not available, but referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package gnome has no installation candidate” This is the first time I have tried to install the OS and boy not easy
you could search for packages with this : apt-cache search gnome | grep '^gnome' | sort PS: the gnome isn't A package is a graphical environment, but the best way to learn how to install a package from console is to search / find the problem and learn from it
Stll no luck If it's not a package how do you install it. I have tried "apt-get install gnome gdm menu" as well as aptitude install gnome gdm menu" ????????
