…submitted by Ken… Here’s the actual question: How do I enable the Universe in <Ubuntu> Feisty using the command line? My graphics suck so I don\u2019t have a gui.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Well, as long as Feisty still uses the same configuration that Edgy used (I’ll verify this later), and as long as you’re into using “apt-get<\/code>” (if you’re not you’re apt-screwed), then it’s easy. Just edit:<\/p>\n

vi \/etc\/apt\/sources.list<\/code><\/p>\n

…and follow the instructions right in the file. You’ll simply uncomment (remove the hash mark at the beginning of) the lines that end in “universe<\/code>“. The next time you use apt-get update<\/code> you will have many more options available to you. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Or if you’re really adventurous, you could uncomment the lines that end in “multiverse<\/code>“. By the way, “Multiverse” is a great song by one of my all-time favorite bands, VoiVod<\/a>. Now you *really*<\/em> learned something today, didn’t you? <\/p>\n

And while you’re in there, be sure to comment-out the line about the cdrom as a source. It’s one of the first lines in the file. You don’t want to be popping the cdrom in there ever time you want to add a package when it’s all available via the web, right?<\/p>\n
