Title: sudo language
Post by: Crazy Larry on July 05, 2015, 11:06:53 AM

I'm trying to install a package I downloaded...it's  K3b-2.0.3a.tar.xz         It's located in  /home/crazylarry/downloads
  I typed in the terminal  sudo apt-get install K3b-2.0.3a.tar.xz    but all I got was a message that it couldn't find it   so do I need to include the path in the command or do I need to do something different?
Thanks to anyone who can help.    This is my first time at the rodeo.
Larry

Hi,

Not sure how to install the latest, but a version of K3b is available by going into:
Menu > System > Install/Remove Software
Then use search for k3b and then right click, mark for install

It looks like it will install a huge amount of dependencies and bloat your install.

Somebody might suggest a "Lite(er)" option.

Just a friendly hint. Get out of the Windows/Mac download software mindset.

Yes. A whole lot for K3b the way you want to install it. Google install source file in Ubuntu.

Easy way to install K3b.

Menu>System>Install Packages. Password. In synaptic. Look for K3b.

I don't use it because xfburn suffices for me.

Code: [Select]

harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$ apt search k3b

Hello!

Seems like ANYTHING 'K' installs a boatload of KDE dependencies...

You guys are right.....I don't really need that heavy bloated stuff.   After I marked everything to download I decided not to install it.
  So thanks again.
