I have no root access on this machine.  I would like to know if there is a way I can download Ubuntu packages and install them as non-root?  Probably in my ~/bin or ~/usr/share or something like that? Would that work?

This question always bothers me! Last time for 4.9 I tried the commands mentioned in . The same trick doesn't work now:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gcc-5.1 g++-5.1   results in...  E: Unable to locate package gcc-5.1 E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'gcc-5.1' E: Unable to locate package g++-5.1 E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'g++-5.1'   What is the correct command for directly installing the latest g++ in Ubuntu? Is there any magic command which works uniformly for all the updates of g++?  Update:  I found that the correct command to install it is:  sudo apt-get install g++-5   This works now! Though in the , the version is 5.1.

When I type a command not found in a PATH in ubuntu, I get something like this:  $ rdesktop The program 'rdesktop' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install rdesktop   I believe it's a script that looks up the APT archives and suggest an installation package. I'd like to change it so that it offers me to download it at the press of a 'y'. Two questions:  1) Where is the file located?  2) If I just add the install line in the trivial way, it's going to complain that I'm not a root and will fail (because the rdesktop was ran as a mundane user). How do I make it ask for a password and use it to get root access?

I'm seeing people say things like sudo apt-get remove steam and sudo dpkg -r steam but neither are working.   I ran dpkg-query -l *steam* and I get the following:  Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description +++-==============-============-============-================================= un  steam          &lt;none&gt;       &lt;none&gt;       (no description available) rc  steam-launcher 1.0.0.47     all          Launcher for the Steam software d un  steam64        &lt;none&gt;       &lt;none&gt;       (no description available)   Not sure if this helps.  The steam FAQ doesn't seem to help either. I'm pretty sure I didn't do any apt-get install for Steam. I downloaded the steam_latest.deb from the website. Any ideas?   Update: I do have what I believe to be the folder in ~/.steam. What I'm wondering now is, if I remove this folder, what else do I need to remove?

I want to install a package (specifically xlop). I'm using TeXLive on Ubuntu, and I don't really know my way around LaTeX.  Can apt-get install or something similar be used?

If you try to execute a program that is not installed you will get a message  The program 'x' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:  sudo apt-get install x   and instead of offering you to install the program for you, you have to type the actual command. How can this behavior be changed?

After doing a man apt-get and cursory Google search it's not clear how I find new programs to install (from the internet) using apt-get (which is amazingly powerful and simple coming from another Linux distro).  I'm using Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS (an inherited system used for some random work), so no GUI.  Anyone have quick advice here?

Installing something in windows takes a click of a button. But every time I try to install something in linux, which is not found in APT, I get so confused.   You download a zipped folder, then what? If you are lucky there is a README, refering to some documentation, which might help you, if you are lucky.   What is the magic trick when "installing" extensions and applications which aren't found in APT?   I love linux, but this problem haunts me every day.

Can anybody please advice how to recover apt package or install it from start?
