> greetings fellow campcasters. i have just loaded ubuntu onto a pc and wiped "windows" off the HDD completely. great feeling. after i installed ubuntu, i tried to follow the directions to get campcaster up and running. i have failed miserably. first, i downloaded all 12 files that i saw under the download section on "source forge" is it? i then tried to install or extract these files, but no clue what was going on. then, i tried to follow directions to get things going using the "terminal" and various commands. nada.

Hi,

The easiest way of installing is using Synaptic (System ->
Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager).

* First you add the Campware repository to your list of sources; here
is how:
http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/wiki/CheatSheet#AddingtheCampcasterrepositorytoSynaptic

* click the Reload button;

* click the Search button, and enter "campcaster"; wait until the 3
campcaster packages show up;

* click the box next to "campcaster-studio", select "Mark for
Installation", and click the Mark button in the window which pops up;

* click the Apply button; wait until the packages are installed;

* close Synaptic.

This is also how you can install any other packaged software, so it's a
good thing to learn. The sourgeforge files are for advanced users.
