Installation instructions for Ubuntu are wrong #369

Open ISibboI opened 9 years ago

ISibboI commented 9 years ago

The instructions only work for Ubuntu up to 13.10. >= 14.04 there is no package. This should be written in the README.md.

Hi, I think the instructions for the ppa might be wrong in the README as they don't seem to point to this..

Yes the instructions are wrong. If you follow the steps exactly in unicorn you get a 404 on apt-get update because there is no http://ppa.launchpad.net/finalterm/daily/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/binary-amd64/Packages

EDIT it's no big deal, but you have to edit the line in source list by hand. RE -EDIT : changing the distribution info to devel or saucy leads to broken deps : libcogl, libkeybinder and libmx.

Had to figure this out the hard way. You can use the software sources GUI to change the distribution to saucy. I had no problem installing after that. What's strange, is the finalterm package is available in a few other distributions while the rest of the packages are not.

Documentation is wrong for Ubuntu. Provided ppa doesn't work.
