Can't Install from Playdeb
« on: July 26, 2011, 04:10:25 pm »
Hi All
<--- Linux noob

Trying to install from Playdeb on Ubuntu 11.04

I get this message in Ubuntu Software Center:
Not Found
There isn't a software package called "Ufoai" in your current software sources

I have gone in to Synaptic and allowed "Everything", still no joy.

i have trolled the forum but not yet found a fix besides compiling it (absolutely no idea how to even start that, even with a tutorial)

Is there *Anywhere* else that i can get the download-able install-able Ubuntu version?

And before you jump, i have gone through the sourceforge and other links on this and playdeb sites

i play this game on windows but have migrated to Ubuntu at work, now looking to get the guys in the office in on the game

You needto install the playdeb package.

http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb

Download that and run it with 'ubuntu software centere' or other package manager

After that you can get games from playdeb.

I'm having the same problem. The solution in post #2 did not work.

PlayDeb *does* appear in my list of Software Sources.

Ubuntu 11.10

They are back online now.
