Therefore it's not finding the right repository to check (hence the 404 not found) for the version of Ubuntu you have. So you will need to either find someone who has put this program into a different PPA for you, find someone with it packaged up into a deb you can install or try and do what you can to get the 11.10 version installed. My personal preference would be to find a program that does what you need from within the already supported sources so you don't continue to have these issues into the future. I use PPAs extremely sparingly for this reason, there's no "after sales" support in most instances. </div> <div class="gmail_extra"><div> </div>-- Regards, Jared Norris <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris</a> </div></div>
