We are in the process of updating the Ubuntu repository as I am writing this :)
Many driver fixes, as well as a full set of translations.
This new version also supports new architectures:
- lpia, as seen on Dell Minis and other laptops
- amd64 (AMD and Intel 64-bit processors). The 64-bit support is still experimental, and only supported in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), 8.10 (Intrepid) and Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)
Please post 64-bit messages, experiences and questions on the forum as this is still experimental.
The main change is that this repository is signed. Before you can install the updates, you will need to tell Ubuntu who Promethean is ! This is done by downloading a file and adding it to the package management system configuration. You only need to do this once, and there are two ways to do it:
Terminal method
Type
wget http://www.activsoftware.co.uk/linux/repos/Promethean.asc
sudo apt-key add Promethean.asc
If all goes well, the last line you see will be OK
(Make sure you type the text as it is here, in particular the capital P in Promethean)
Point and click GUI method
Start your web browser
Download the file http://www.activsoftware.co.uk/linux/repos/Promethean.asc
(Right click on the link and select "Save Link As")
Start Synaptic Package Manager
In the menu, select Settings | Repositories
Select the Authentication tab
Click on Import Key File and load the Promethean.asc file you just downloaded.
If all goes well, you will see the Promethean key in the list of Trusted Software Providers
