Unable to locate package

Not sure about their availability in the default installation media.

You can try this command to bring up your NIC for time being.

dhclient eth0

Where eth0 is your network interface.

"unable to locate package" i met the same problem.
and i tried the "apt-get update"
then "apt-get install xxx" worked.

it seems u should update the apt-get at first.

Do you always need to run apt-get update prior to the install option moving forward or is it a one time thing?

Thanks,

Great insight and reminded me of some of the command line options. Far as the Op mentioned, was seeing the same thing after a unetbootin install of ubuntu 10.10.

Using dhclIent had me reconnected and once that was complete, was able to get all I needed. Also it seems any of the alternate versions found via cdimages.ubuntu.com are able to install what is needed w/o having a valid internet cinnection.

hi

I have the same problem, but I updated the packege repo, using apt-get update or apt-get aptitude. After updating successfully then you can install the packages.

I hope this will help you.....
cheers...

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ethtool

I have been trying unsuccessfully for two days to install joomla 1.6. I download all the files to my desktop as instructed on another site, and I manually pulled each file on the desktop into its own folder entitled "joomla".

I went to the terminal and typed in : sudo apt-get install joomla ...and it tells me it can't find it! I then put in sudo apt-get install desktop joomla and it tells me it still can't find it!

Can anyone help me here? I did download the LAMP, in preparation for installing the joomla, and I think that is installed?? I did get apache to verify "IT WORKS" on the net, but I can't seem to do the same for phpMyAdmin.....thats another one I can't seem to load or get installed.

HELP PLEASE!! ...

Using a pendrive of Ubuntu 11.10 (if this matters, let me know)

I have tried to use the sudo apt-get update command and then the sudo apt-get install belier.
I then tried the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install belier command.

Neither worked.

here is my output from cat /etc/apt/sources.list

# /etc/apt/sources.list

deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release i386 (20111012)]/ oneiric main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-security main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates main restricted

I first typed bel at the CLI, then the following appeared underneath that line
The program 'bel' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install belier
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'

How do I enable 'universe'?

Does anyone have an answer to this?
