Install an Ubuntu app in Jolicloud
I understand Jolicloud is based on Ubuntu, I'm new at Linux so I need help. I want to install a package for Ubuntu in order to use my blackberry as modem, but I don't find how to get to the system software sources to install the package. Any idea?
By the way I installed Jolicloud in a Toshiba and worked fine.

Inappropriate?velvor, you can either use Synaptic Package Manager as root from the command line:
sudo synaptic
You can add repositories directy in SPM.
Or, you can use APT, also from the command line:
sudo apt-get install <package name="true">
Or, if the package is available as a .deb file, you can open it with the gDebi Package Manager.
If you provide us with more details of the Blackberry modem application, we could guide you through the process.
I could also give you some links to some online "Linux for Dummies"-type manuals :-)

Inappropriate?I invoked SPM from the command line and can install apps successfully, went to add a repository and selected the Settings==>Repositories and the menu to manage repositories never appears. The errors below appear in terminal:

Any ideas?</module> -
