LAMP-SERVER not on Desktop?

Just installed 9.10. Wanted to instal LAMP but sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ returned
barry@barry-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

Also use used this:
barry@barry-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install apache2

Is something wrong or does the desktop distro not come with these packages? I read a couple articles that this should work on desktop.

Oops, sorry folks, thought this meant desktop edition vs. server, but apparently this forum means desktop enviros. I'll repost.

try this:


sudo tasksel install lamp-server

It looks like your machine does not have any of the Ubuntu repositories available (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories) for the package manager or that you are offline or something.

Once the repositories are available, you should be able to see that the package is spelled correctly using apt-cache:



sudo apt-get update
apt-cache search apache2

Have you added the required repositories?
