[ubuntu-za] Updating

[William Walter Kinghorn]

Hi Jan,

Have not used the below, so can't advise on them

Install synaptic  ( open a terminal, type sudo apt-get install synaptic )

Start synaptic

hit the search button

search for nokia

There are a few apps to try
gnokii
gammu ( CLI version )
wammu ( GTK version - uses gammu libs )
gmobilemedia ( also uses gammu libs )


If you have a BlackBerries, you can try :
search in synaptic for barry
install barrybackup-gui

Hope this helps
William

Hi Jan,

This repo has not been created for 14.04 ( latest is 12.04 precise )

What you can do is try precise in the sources.list file ( 12.04 instead of trusty 14.04 )

This ppa might not work, as it might expect some packages that are not in 14.04

William
