install no-ip using command line

[lil_niles]

I have scoured the forums and I haven't found a solution to my problem yet. I am remotely using SSH to add no-ip onto my file server.

This is what i type:

sudo apt-get install no-ip

the output is this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package no-ip


Next i try this:

sudo apt-get update

and i get this:

then when i try to install again, i get the same message as before saying it can't find the package. This is odd because on my laptop (not my file server) i can find the package using the GUI.

thanks

I think the package is now called noip2.

no-ip is in the universe repositories.
to enable the repo edit the source.list:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.listun-comment the univers repos.
(remove the #)
example:

## universe WILL NOT receive any review or updates from the Ubuntu security
## team.
#deb http://XY (http://%3Ci%3EXY%3C/i%3E).archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gusty universe
#deb-src http://XY (http://%3Ci%3EXY%3C/i%3E).archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gusty universe
#deb http://XY (http://%3Ci%3EXY%3C/i%3E).archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gusty-updates universe
#deb-src http://XY (http://%3Ci%3EXY%3C/i%3E).archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gusty-updates universe

Ctrl+o = save

then try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install no-ip
