apt-get not working on UDOObunutu

i'm trying to install the dependencies for compiling OpenFrameworks with the latest udoobuntu release
i'm finding that apt-get is not finding any of the packages

i've tried updating and upgrading apt-get, synaptic is installed, and my list of repositories in "/etc/apt/sources.list" has:

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ precise main restricted universe multiverse

nonetheless, trying to install things like "openssl" or "libudev" or "gstreamer-app-0.10" with apt-get is giving me:

"E: Unable to locate package ***"


does anyone see what i'm doing wrong?

Have you checked you have a working internel connection + a dns nameserver and default gateway ?.

log into a terminal and try "ping google.co.uk" and see if it resolves to a ip address

 

i definitely have a working internet connection.
ping works and browser works.

anything else?

 

Have you tried installing via synaptic and see if it will install anything new at all.
Check the /var/logs and see if you are get errors on the sd card or try making a new image.
is it a permissions problem ? , No can`t be that because you are installing as a root user with sudo.

 

having the same problem

batchku, were you able to fix?

 

Hi there all,
you should write the following command to make it work:
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ precise main universe multiverse
Cheers
