I'm new to linux and I'm trying to learn everything still, the problem is my roommates won't show me what they are doing to fix any problem I have. so i don't want to ask them what I am doing wrong so I know what to do next time. I am trying to install a program called automatix but when I use the sudo apt-get install (i think i am doing that right) it looks like this

daniel@daniel-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install automatix
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package automatix

so can you please help me?

p.s. I am using kubuntu

In order to install automatix, you first have to add the automatix repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. You can do that using synaptic (in setup->repositories I believe), or simply following those instructions :

open terminal/konsole, execute this code one by one... machine should be connected to internet.

Code:

wget http://www.getautomatix.com/files/automatix-installer
chmod 755 ~/automatix-installer
./automatix-installer

now, look for Automatix in Menu. if you can't find it, reboot... it should be there now....
click on it and.........install watever you need.........

check this thread too

EDIT: antidrugue... you are fast... as usual...

i tried both ways and it would downlaod and everything with out an error until i would open it and then i got the error about that version only being for edgy

thats strange...... first of all remove automatix

Code:

sudo apt-get remove automatix

now add source for automatix in sources.list

Code:

sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list

add this line in the file

deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt dapper main

Now from terminal do the following:

Code:

wget http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/key.gpg.asc
gpg --import key.gpg.asc
gpg --export --armor 521A9C7C | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install automatix2

Wow there is a mistake in the link I gave you. I'll correct the wiki right now. Thanks for pointing that out. Follow casper instructions to repair it.

ok followed those instructions but automatix is not in the system area of the menu anymore so where do i need to go to get it now?

sorry i know i am annoying but i really thank you guys for helping me
