How Do I Install Kmobiletools On Ubuntu 8.04 ?

Asked by taurus

Hey, guys! I downloaded a .deb file called 'kmobiletools_0.5.0-beta3_i386.deb' to my desktop. When I tried to install it, I got the following error, which bewilders the crap out of me:

x@xx:~$ cd /home/x/Desktop
x@xx:~/Desktop$ sudo aptitude install kmobiletools_0.5.0-beta3_i386.deb
Reading package lists... Done

Any ideas as to how to install it properly without any problems?

Apt-get and aptitude will try and find the program on the online repositories to install it. Since you have already downloaded the .deb, you can install it directly with the following command (assuming you are already in the right directory):

sudo dpkg --install ./kmobiletools_0.5.0-beta3_i386.deb
