More Repositories

Roverleffe · 2018-03-10 09:01:21

Please I’m Reading and reading but I don’t understand how to add more programs in the Repositories?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2018-03-10 12:09:11

You can use the synaptic package manager to add new programs:

Openbox main menu → System → Synaptic Package Manager

Is that what you mean?

Roverleffe · 2018-03-10 15:33:43

No the programs I want are not listed in the Package Manager ..like setBfree Ardour etc..

tknomanzr · 2018-03-10 15:36:22

^ If this is a new install, you probably want to run from the terminal:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

This should refresh your package caches for you.

Roverleffe · 2018-03-10 15:50:43

No it wont help still only about 3500 programs listed how to get all 30 000+ to the Package Manager?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2018-03-10 15:52:16

Please post the full output of

apt policy
grep -v '^$\|^#' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}

You appear to be missing the main Debian repositories, did you select a mirror during installation?

To fix this, edit your sources with:

sudo apt edit-sources

This is what the file should look like:

deb http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian-security jessie/updates main contrib non-free

Once the file is saved, update the database:

sudo apt update

Then launch synaptic to install your stuff.

Roverleffe · 2018-03-10 17:05:41

True clever you I received error from mirror during installation! I will try your input

Roverleffe · 2018-03-10 17:18:15

What to do in here?

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot i386 LIVE/INSTALL $

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates non-free contrib main

^ You can use <Ctrl>+k to delete all of the lines then simply type in the three lines I posted above and use <Ctrl>+x to save the file, answer "y" (yes) when it asks if you want to save the buffer.

Or, if you prefer you can use the "File manager as root" menu option and then open the file at /etc/apt/sources.list using a graphical text editor.

Excellent news, glad you got it sorted.

If no mirror is selected (or found) during installation then the main repositories are left out.

As you can see, it is quite easy to fix.

Thanks Leif, have a great weekend from Matthew in London

Please one more thing any way to find a Menu for programs I will install?

Roverleffe · 2018-03-10 20:46:15

BunsenLabs has a "static" menu — this means that new programs must be added manually.

The file you need to edit is ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml

If you prefer you can use the GUI menu editor instead (this is my preference):

obmenu

It is possible to add a "dynamic" (auto-updating) menu in BunsenLabs:
