[Deaf-lug] Ubuntu Rocks!

[Paul Johnston]

Hi again,

Just set up the Evolution app to receive and send my emails....testing
by sending my first email.....

I am having problems installing certain apps like Gnome-Do.

sudo apt-get install...does not seem to work for me for some reason.
Not just for Gnome-Do but other apps e.g. Frozen Bubble as suggested by
this URL

http://thedailyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/02/frozen-bubble-ridiculously-addictive.html

When trying to install Gnome-Do I get the following (similar to Frozen
Bubble)

root at paul-laptop:~# sudo apt-get install gnome-do
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package gnome-do

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

Paul
