How to enable the universe and multiverse repositories in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy)

Posted by admin on June 4th, 2008 Email This Post

There are thousands of programs available to install on Ubuntu. These programs are stored in software archives (repositories) and are available for installation over the Internet. This makes it very easy to install new programs. It is also very secure, because each program you install is thoroughly tested and built specifically for Ubuntu.

The universe and multiverse repositories are official Ubuntu repositories, with safe, well-tested programs. The only difference between them and the repositories enabled by default is that the universe and multiverse repositories are maintained by the Ubuntu community rather than by paid Ubuntu developers.

There are three ways to enable the universe and multiverse repositories in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron): via the graphical Software Sources tool,via the Synaptic Package Manager or via the command line.
