I'm trying to add terminology to my enlightment/ubuntu 12.04 system. I added the key for terminology using "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn", which adds the key successfully. then I run "sudo apt-get update" to update it, and then "sudo apt-get install terminology", but it doesn't locate the package. Does anybody know what im doing wrong? :confused:
 
does 'terminology' exist in /var/lib/apt/lists/whatever-the-heck-the-list-is ?

grep terminology /var/lib/apt/lists/*

There will be some hits by default, which aren't what you want.
 
Try...

sudo apt-cache search terminology

It might come up with the correct package name.
 
"sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn" Does anybody know what im doing wrong? :confused:

the correct command should be sudo add-apt-repository

you can also install synaptic for easier package management

Alright, thanks guys. I haven't had much time to fool around with it much since this post, but I will try that, and post on here any results. Thanks!
