lmms help? please..

[jitup]

hey I am trying to get lmms .4.3 from launchpad https://launchpad.net/~tobydox/+archive/ppa and I can not get the openPGP key! is the key server down? if you have it, can you email it to me at jhleba@gmail.com
thank you

you can still get it without the key, just asks you to confirm you want to carry on even though its unverified, alternatively you could just go here http://ppa.launchpad.net/tobydox/ppa/ub ... in/l/lmms/
and get the deb file.

ok, I downloaded the .deb from the site. put it on my desktop and double clicked. it supposedly was installed, but when I go to open the program it says something about there not bieng any files or information or something. it has a red circle with a white line going through it over to the left of the text. Am I supposed to download something else as well? what do I need? thank you

Is the program added to the menu ? if yes then the program has been installed but has some problem.. run lmms from the command line you'll get more information of what is happening. If not then it could be an installation problem possibly due to you must be root in order to install a .deb package and I'm not sure whether you are asked to introduce a password to become root when you double-click on a .deb package from desktop.

the program is on the drop down menue. I don't really know how to use command line that efficiently, can some one give me some link or info about learning command line? I cant get it using the software sources because I can't find an option to let me install without the key! I can't find it? Do I have to do it through command line? thanks

victory is mine! I have finally got it to work! I am going to post a how to for linux ignorant people such as myself, but I'm learning!

this guide is for ubuntu I did it in 8.10 with Gnome, I imagine other verrsions and desktops have a similar process
first go here https://launchpad.net/~tobydox/+archive/ppa
select your version of ubuntu from the drop down list
copy the .deb code
ex for ibex, if you are using intrepid or 8.10 you can just copy the below


deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tobydox/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tobydox/ppa/ubuntuintrepid main

next open system, go admin, then open software systems
go to third party software and click add
then paste the above in the link. after that it will ask you to refresh, click yes and it probably won't let you install due to no openpgp key, so close that window
next go to system, go admin, than open synaptic package manager
in the search type lmms, version .4.3 or the most current at the time should appear
check both files, and it will ask you to mark them for instillation due to no openpgp key, do it
install and enjoy!
