i am taking xubuntu for a test run b4 studio test run. ok, so here is windows->linux newb ques.
i dl some files for music program (aldrin), it just saved to desktop. i can select the folder in Synaptic, but thats all. when i right click & try gdebi its missing dependencies. ha. well i know there should be an option to dl them if possible (python & zzlib were some, popular i know). so what steps do i need for a package manager, or whatever, to install them and their dependants?
oh, and where is the desktop cd iso for ubuntustudio? i may have to install that via wubi also, it dont show up in synaptic search.
LONG LIVE
A N Y T H I N G
(just need something to shout about after getting linux going)
edit-also if you pick something in the package manager and it needs such and such dependant, do you need to manually enter all of them. i tried something and one would upgrade, but it said
Depends: python-gtk2 (>=2.12) but 2.10.4-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
Depends: libzzub0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-zzub but it is not going to be installed
and still need to know how-to for rest of post (install d/l'ed vs repository), thx
