kastrolog

[marbles]

does anyone know if this will be available in the repositories for kubuntu.
I've played around with astrolog but would really like to use something with a gui.
I'm still very new to linux so I'm not about to try compiling or installing anything outside of the rpm's.

run the command

apt-cache search kastrolog

if it return with some results you can install kastrolog via apt-get from the repositories

if the only remaining option to install the program from rpm
download the .rpm file

sudo apt-get install alien
sudo alien --to-deb kastrolog*.rpm
sudo dpkg -i kastrolog*.deb

marbles@marbles-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install alien
W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock

no big deal if i don't get this

I would first add a debian repository to the sources.list file (this is the file which Apt checks for the package repository servers). You can find them via Google, it is advisable to use those which are nearby. Then run apt-get update so apt notices the new sources.list file, followed by an apt-get install kastrolog.

Oh, and since you are using Kubuntu, make sure to sudo before each command

ok I updte my repository and was able to instal alien rom the comand line but I still can't install.
I looked around in the kastrolog directory after i unpacked it and I don't see any .rpm files. There are how every some .xpm files. Would it do good to change the command to inclued those.

ok tried this a couple times now to no avail.
The kastrolog icon shows up in my K menu under lost and found
but doesn't load when clicked on
so I try to access it from the terminal
marbles@marbles-desktop:~$ sudo kastrolog
