Hi! I am new to Kubuntu but not linux (mandrake & redhat for 3 yrs.),<br>and I can't seem to get proprietary stuff (opera, extra xine codecs,<br>etc.) to work from adept without installing a bunch of stuff for ubuntu<br>
(synaptic, the 'software properties' thing, etc.). It see it under adept<br>when I check off the 'unsupported' and 'proprietary' boxes, but the<br>selection is gray and can't be checked. What do I do? Thanks!<br>-Steven</blockquote>
<div><br><br>Have you enabled all of your repos such as multiverse, universe and those things ? Opera has its own repo that I get the latest packages from.<br><br>deb <a href="http://deb.opera.com/opera">http://deb.opera.com/opera
</a> etch non-free<br><br>Add that to your /etc/apt/sources.list file then do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install opera from a terminal and you should get Opera.<br><br>Here is info on enabling all your repos: The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See
<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu</a><br><br>Hopefully that should get you going. I don't use any GUI package managers as I find the package manager from CLI just simply works best.
