Linix / Terminal Command help

must be doing something wrong:

kencs@Kencs-System:~$ sudo apt-get opera
E: Invalid operation opera

Any step by step advice as I dont understand the advice from the ubuntu forums etc...

thanks
 
It's step by step on the Ubuntu wiki.

Code:
deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free
wget -qO - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opera
 
With no offense intended, .Kencs, you've already got a couple of threads running on the topic of installing software either directly using the .deb or via the apt-get or Synaptic package management interfaces. People have simply ended up re-posting here what has already been linked to or can be readily googled for :(

To expand on what BigglesPiP has just added,

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

Code:
echo deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -qO - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opera

Applications -> Internet -> Opera

Please give yourself a bit more of a chance lest you might find fewer responses in future, especially if an impression is given that advice which leads to the solution has been ignored.
 
Thanks all for replying. I have joined the Ubuntu forums to see if I can read up and learn something :) Its just the commands they seem to put me off a little but im slowly learning :)
 
Managed to get Conky installed on my netbook, when I run it in Netbook edition it is showing along the bottom, when I run in Desktop edition I cant see it.

# Create own window instead of using desktop (required in nautilus)
own_window yes

# If own_window is yes, you may use type normal, desktop or override

# Use pseudo transparency with own_window?
own_window_transparent yes

double_buffer yes

Which part of the code tells it to become a line and not a box? I want it to be a box but everything I have tried to change doesnt work. I have tried googling it and cannot find the answer Im looking for.

Your description is vague, but if I'm understanding your question right, the answer is: "All of it."

Just uninstall conky, it's beyond you for now I would say. You'll find it's a bit clunky even when it's fully set up.

Also, get it out of your head that everything must be done with a command. Most of ubuntu can be managed in the GUI.
