[SOLVED] Cannot install open-ssh server - suggestions?

[douglerner]

I just installed Ubuntu 9.1 Desktop. I have the network setup ok and can see out with FireFox and can ping the machine from outside.

But I can't install openssh-server.

When I try

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

I get a "Package openssh-server is not available" error .

Any suggestions what I can try next?

Thanks,

doug

Hi and welcome! Did you do:

sudo apt-get update

Before attempting to install? Also, try:

sudo apt-get install ssh

Thank you, Dan. I hadn't done apt-get update. After doing that it worked.

Thanks!
