I can't install IceCat on ubuntu 12.04
I want to install IceCat on Terminal but it doesn't work.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnuzilla-team/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install icecat -y
Cannot access PPA (https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~gnuzilla-team/+archive/ppa) to get PPA information, please check your internet connection.
You can install pacage icecat
from Trisquel's main repository:
sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel/ toutatis-updates main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install icecat
Warning: I suggested toutatis version of Trisquel because It's based on Ubuntu 12.04 (As you mentioned in question). So sudo apt-get upgrade
aftre adding repository cause add/remove/upgrade packages in current system
Hence,
Alternatively you may directly download deb from https://packages.trisquel.info : i386 or amd64 or choose appropriate release and package from Main page.
Extending @Pandya-s answer.
As mentioned, you can install icecat
from Trisquel's main repository. This line adds the repository to your debian/ubuntu system:
echo "deb http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel/ belenos-updates main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trisquel.list
Now you need to set up some trust for the repo (GPG keys). Trisquel signing keys can be seen here: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/download-trisquel You should not trust me and should check the numbers on the official page, but I used this:
sudo gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 0xE6C27099CA21965B734AEA31B4EFB9F38D8AEBF1
sudo gpg2 --export --armor B4EFB9F38D8AEBF1 | sudo apt-key add -
You have set up the repo. Theoretically, you're ready to install icecat
. The trisquel repo is large though, you may want to limit packages that would be automatically installed. Use something like this:
sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/trisquel
package: *
Pin: origin "mirror.fsf.org"
Pin-Priority: 100
Now you're ready to go!
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install icecat
