[KLUG Members] Ubuntu PLF repositories

[Nikolas Reist]

It was my mistake thinking that this repository is not longer in use.  It is but requires a current gpg key.  First you open a terminal windows and type:

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.bak

to create a backup of the original file (all commands may be copied and pasted directly into the terminal box if you prefer).  Then:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

to open the repository file.  Go to the last line of the file to the very end and hit enter twice to double space (just to help with clarity).  Add this all to the end:

## PLF REPOSITORY (Unsupported.  May contain illegal packages.  Use at own risk.)
deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf dapper free non-free
deb-src http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf dapper free non-free
Then when you are finished save the file.  Run this when you return to the terminal:

sudo apt-get update

If it complains about the gpg key here is the next thing you enter:

wget http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/12B83718.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

This will download the key, and automatically add it to apt so it will know to use it when going to PLF.  Run again:

sudo apt-get update

just to verify.  Enjoy.

Nik
