The program 'jockey-gtk' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk
And this not only occur with jockey-gtk. I have same problem with synergy(I did not tried with other software). Is it known problem or am I only one? How do I fix it?
jockey-gtk
has been moved to 'Software Sources' in 12.10 Quetzal.
To access it, open the software center. Open 'Edit' --> 'Software Sources'
Then switch to the 'Additional Drivers' tab.
Software will sometimes not have the exact binary name as a package, or a package can contain multiple programs. For example "synergy" doesn't install a binary named synergy
, it installs synergyc
and synergyd
, which you run separately.
I've found that most of the time the program name and the package name match exactly, but not always.
See here for how to find which binaries a program installs:
- How to find the executable file of an app if 'whereis' is not showing it?
Another quick way to do this is I tend to type in the first few letters of the package name and then hit Tab so the full name just autocompletes for me.
This software is not supported anymore for Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal.
You will find the same functions of this application in the Software-Properties.
You can confirm this information with declarations of Nicolas Delvaux:
Jokey-gtk does not exist anymore on Quantal. Its functionalities were merged in software-properties.
So this may rather be a bug in command-not-found: it should not suggest to install the jockey-gtk package.
