Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid IbexHOWTO: Enabling the Universe APT repository
First open a terminal window and enter:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Look for the following lines:
Change them to look like:
Save the file and then run:
sudo apt-get update
This will update your repository and include all the files available in the universe.
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Look for the following lines:

Re: How do I enable the Universe APT repository?
If I include 'Universal' in my repository will there be any conflicts? True, I just installed Ubuntu and haven't done much with it but still the thought of conflicts does come up. Any problems downloading software from Universal? One other thing, is Universal packages straight from the Debian resorces? Thanks.

Re: How do I enable the Universe APT repository?
I should mention that the lines to alter are already there. Just uncomment them.

Re: HOWTO: How do I enable the Universe APT repository?
I have followed the steps above and downloaded prismstumbler, I ran synaptic and installed the package but when I try and run prismstumbler I get the error /usr/bin/pst is missing
Have I correctly installed the package looking at the above?

Re: HOWTO: Enabling the Universe APT repositoryI've run into a rather interesting problem after adding Universe - Synaptic now doesn't display any packages! It shows categories, but the actual packages and their descriptions are missing. Any ideas?

did you only uncomment the universe lines or did something else?

Re: HOWTO: Enabling the Universe APT repositoryI fixed the problem by deleting all .synaptic.conf files in my home directory. Apparently, it is a bug with that version of Synaptic.

Re: HOWTO: Enabling the Universe APT repository
I have tried both this process and the one outlined in the wiki. Both, however, generate the same response:
404 directory doesn't exist
Is the universal directory off-line? Been moved?
thanks

A 404 error means you typed something wrong.
