Re: source code?

Post by emorrp1 »

Hi, yes you do need to add the source URIs:

1 - GUI)
Synaptic package manager --> Settings --> Repositories
Check all the lines you want with "deb-src" in the type column (you probably don't want the "romeo" section)

2 - Terminal)
edit /etc/apt/sources.list uncommenting all the deb-src lines

3 - Auto, run in terminal as root)

Code: Select all

cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
sed -i /^#\ deb/s/^#\ // /etc/apt/sources.list
sed -i /romeo/s/^d/#d/ /etc/apt/sources.list
These three commands take a copy of you software sources, enable all, then disable romeo.
