Kubuntu/Avanceret

Avanceret

Du kan tilpasse din installation af Kubuntu yderligere ved at tilføje nye softwarepakker. Herunder finder du forskellige metoder til at installere nye pakker (software).

Håndtering af software

Der er flere måder at håndtere programmer i Kubuntu. En bekvem måde at tilføje og fjerne programmer er med en pakkehåndtering.

Grafiske klienter

Som standard følger en virkelig god pakkehåndtering kaldet Muon med Kubuntu. Muon er et avancedret program med en grafisk brugerflade (GUI) til at installere og fjerne programmer. Den vil automatisk gøre dig opmærksom på optaderinger (i det nederste højre hjørne), men du kan bruge den når som helst til at installere nye pakker ved at åbne KickOff -> Computer -> Muon Discover eller ved at skrive Muon i søgefeltet øverst i programstarteren KickOff. Vælg Muon Discover blandt resultaterne. Hvis du foretrækker et "Software-center" i Ubuntu-stil, så skal du installere det fra Muon.

Begge pakkehåndteringsprogrammer oplyser måske, at der er påkrævede afhængigheder; disse er andre pakker (programmer), som det stykke software du vil installere behøver for at kunne køres. Når den information er godkendt vil de påkrævede pakker begynde at blive downloadet. Når installationen er afsluttet vil softwaren være klar til at bruges. Det er sjældent, at det er nødvendigt at genstarte systemet efter installation eller opdatering af software. Når det er, så vil systemet advare dig og give dige en ikon til at genstarte når det passer dig.

Muon also provides an easy method to remove software that is no longer needed.

Tip

Start Muon Software Center with Kickoff Application Launcher (K menu), click on 'Installed Software' and find the application you want to remove. Click 'Remove' and Muon Software Center will remove the application.

Tip

You can search for applications with the search box on the top and the filters on the left side of the window. The application information will be displayed in the large white space below the search area. Click on the application title to be installed. Click the 'Install' button to start the installation process.

Repositories

Thousands of programs are freely available to install in Kubuntu. These programs are stored in software archives ("repositories") and are made available for installation over the Internet. Installing new programs in Kubuntu is quick, reliable, and secure because each program is built specifically for Kubuntu and is checked thoroughly before it is made available. Kubuntu repositories are categorized into four groups:

• Main
• Restricted
• Universe
• Multiverse

Two factors are used to determine categories:

• The level of support provided for a program by its software development teams.
• The level of compliance the program has to the Ubuntu Free Software Philosophy

More information about the Repositories is available on the Ubuntu Community Help Wiki on Repositories website.

The standard Kubuntu LiveDVD contains some software from the "Main" and "Restricted" categories. Once a system has information about the Internet-based locations for these repositories, more programs are available for installation. Using the software package management tools installed by default, it is possible to discover, install, and update any piece of software directly over the internet without the need for the LiveDVD.

PPAs (Personal Package Archive)

Personal Package Archives allow any person in the Ubuntu community who has committed to observe the Ubuntu Code of Conduct to upload Ubuntu source packages to be built and published as an apt repository by Launchpad. Software from Launchpad's Personal Package Archive (PPA) requires a GnuPG (GPG) key so your system can verify that it's getting the packages from the correct source and that the packages have not been interfered with since they were built. GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage.

Warning

The contents of Personal Package Archives are not checked or monitored. You install software from them at your own risk.

For more information about PPAs, see Managing Personal Package Archives.

Install/Uninstall .deb files

The package files associated with Kubuntu have the ".deb" suffix because of Kubuntu's close relationship with the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. Individual ".deb" files can be downloaded and installed. Humble Bundles, for instance, distribute debs. Administrative privileges are required.

Tip

Simply left-click on the ".deb" file to initiate the installation process. A prompt will appear for a password associated with the necessary administrative privilege.

Install from Source

Files with the .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 suffix are package files known as "tarballs" or "source" packages. These are widely used in Linux. If there is no native Kubuntu package available in any of the repositories, it may be possible to compile and install the package from source. For tips on compiling software, look at the Compiling Software page on the Ubuntu Wiki.
