Submitted by chadm on Mon, 2011-05-02 08:22. News | ubuntuWith the recent launch Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) I have added a links for those versions to any app contained in the natty repositories.

Ubuntu Karmic Koala Repositories Added
Submitted by chadm on Sun, 2009-07-26 06:31. Blogs | repository | ubuntuUbuntu's Karmic Koala repositories have now been added. I haven't run a complete database update because it takes ages, but any new or updated apps will have the latest links. Install Now will work regardless of what is shown on the screen because it looks for what is in your local repositories.
Medibuntu's Karmic repositories have also been added.

They include Ubuntu hardy-backports, Ubuntu hardy-partner, Medibuntu hardy, and OpenSuse 11.0.

I'll be adding the Ubuntu intrepid repositories in the near future and looking at some others as well.

Ubuntu's Missing Link
Submitted by chadm on Wed, 2006-11-15 15:56. Blogs | freedesktop | menu | ubuntuUbuntu has a program installation problem. To be fair, nearly all Linux distributions have the same issue, but I'll pick on Ubuntu because its popular and is the choice for many users switching from Windows. The problem I am referring to is the missing menu link after many graphical apps are installed. If you spend any time browsing Ubuntu Forums it won't take long to run across the post of a frustrated user who doesn't know how to launch the application they just installed. While Ubuntu can't control what isn't in the repositories, I'd like to see them put a greater focus on getting all programs in the repositories to include menu entries.
