Can't install mpv on Ubuntu 20.04.3 due to dependent packages are "not installable" [duplicate]
How do I get to the Universe Repository in supported versions of Ubuntu?
If you want in one command and not use Software source ticking then in terminal put:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
On older versions of Ubuntu, you might have to use a full source line:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"
To enable all Ubuntu software (main universe restricted multiverse
) repositories use
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main universe restricted multiverse"
you can add also partner
repository with different link (see difference is ubuntu to canonical)
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
Then update the package list:
sudo apt-get update
p.s.
$(lsb_release -sc)
checks your Ubuntu version and puts its name in the source link. Since 12.04 is called precise
, you can test in a terminal that lsb_release -sc
gives precise
. That adds the precise name of your Ubuntu release in Software sources. Wrong word and nothing will work.
For all differences in repositories read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
First, open software center. Click on 'edit' and then 'software sources' to open the software sources window. Once that is open, check the box that says, "Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe)."
Now, all the universe packages should show up in software center just like all the other ones.
