    * Ubuntu is Debian based and does not support packages in .rpm format. convert .rpm packages to .deb with alien. alien is available in sources.
    * apt-get downloads and install packages from sources only. Install already downloaded packages with 'dpkg' command.
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i <package_name>
    most of packages are available in sources. i would suggest you to install packages through apt-get or Synaptic only.
    open Synaptic, type package_name in Search box and install it.
    or
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install <package_name>

    Code:
    alien -k <rpm_package>
    it will convert .rpm to .deb format.
    install .deb package with dpkg command.
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i <.deb_package>
