New SmartQ V7 -- apt-get usage
My new v7 is loaded up with the latest standard ubuntu firmware (5.3), and is pointing at the karmic repositories:
user@SmartQ:~$ more /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ports.ubuntu.com karmic main universe restricted multiverse user@SmartQ:~$ I see a lot of references to different repositories to use, whether or not you should do an apt-get upgrade, whether or not you should even do an apt-get update, but the posts all seem to be pre-karmic release, or right as karmic was released. Am I safe using the standard karmic repositories? Are there any other repositories I should add in, or even replace the karmic ones with? BTW, I'm an experienced ubuntu user, so I'm not scared of it, the command line, or anything linux related, really... What I am afraid of is screwing up my new SmartQ ![]() |

p.s. You should google "linux apt-get" to find a mountain of useful information that will help you get the best out of your device. |
