Thought this would make a good informational post.
I wanted to add the latest OOO and VLC to Ubunt 10.04 64 via PPA so I could
set and forget.
I found that you can now do this via ONE command line:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openoffice-pkgs/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc
The first one adds the OpenOffice PPA the second one adds the VLC PPA
Thus just "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade" and now BANG! you
have the latest and greatest versions!
What is so great about this method is that it configures the PPA correctly
getting keys etc:
gnu...@morpheus:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openoffice-pkgs/ppa
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring
--secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg
--keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg
--keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv
D2BB86E0EBD0F0A43D4DB3A760D11217247D1CFF
gpg: requesting key 247D1CFF from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 247D1CFF: public key "Launchpad PPA for OpenOffice.org Scribblers"
imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
gnu...@morpheus:~$
Now you can install from the command line: ( remember to do a "sudo apt-get
update" )
Install VLC
sudo apt-get install vlc mozilla-plugin-vlc
Install OpenOffice on Gnome:
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org openoffice.org-gnome
Install OpenOffice on KDE:
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org openoffice.org-kde
So please share your fav PPA's
Joe
