    Question Trying to understand how to install mobloquer

    Hi
    Ive been trying to install mobloquer now for nearly 2 months.
    Ive been looking though hundreds web pages saying that its easy
    but because ive been a windows user for nearly 10 years plus im
    finding it very very hard to install.Ie it always says this that
    and the other is missing.When try to find the missing this that
    and the other I can never find what im looking for.
    Ive kept the os (8.0.4 LTS) upto date.
    Some how ive managed to install Moblock.Which I think works ok
    done all the "sudo moblock-control what ever" tests.But I cannot
    install the Mobloquer GUI for this program.
    Is there an very easy way of installing this GUI.

    Thanks

    Re: Trying to understand how to install mobloquer

    First, add some repositories, edit your sources.list file. From a terminal:
    Code:
    gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    Add this to the end of the file:
    Code:
    deb http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian hardy main
    deb-src http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian hardy main
    Save and close gedit, back to the terminal, add the gpg key for the moblock repository and update apt
    Code:
    gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv 9072870B
    gpg --export --armor 9072870B | sudo apt-key add -
    sudo apt-get update
    now install the packages
    Code:
    sudo aptitude install moblock
    sudo aptitude install mobloquer
    Found the instructions here:

    Re: Trying to understand how to install mobloquer

    Did you do the
    Code:
    sudo aptitude update
    ?

    If yes and you still have the problem please post your /etc/apt/sources.list,
    /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/preferences (if they exist).

    Do you find mobloquer in the graphical software installer (synaptic or something like that. Some Ubuntu guy has to tell how to get there)?

    Many thanks jre

    But I gave up on this one far to much messing around and found another ip blocker.It worked almost right away with all the packages and Debian installer all ready to go.It gets the iplists from the same place as moblock.
    Or so ive been led to belive.The app its self is called IPblock from sorceforge.Plus the GTK bittorent client (Deluge Writen in Python and C++) im using also has an ipblocker built in.
    But any way thank you for time.

    Yes, I know IPBlock. Indeed it does the same as MoBlock and also uses lists from bluetack, so you will be fine.
