Installation in Linux Operating System

edit the file sources.list in /etc/apt/sources.list

With Ubuntu installed, we need to add couple lines to the file sources.list

user@iolabs::/var/www/src/fileadmin$ locate sources.list
/usr/share/man/man5/sources.list.5.gz
/usr/share/man/es/man5/sources.list.5.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man5/sources.list.5.gz
/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list
/usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample/sources.list_upgradehoarytobreezy
/usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample/sources.list_extrarepositories
/usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample/sources.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d
/etc/apt/sources.list
user@iolabs::/var/www/src/fileadmin$

type locate sources.list to look the file if it's not in the default location.

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

add these two lines to the bottom of the file, this tells the installer to check these location for freevo installation file
deb http://ubuntu.geole.info/ gutsy universe multiverse
deb-src http://ubuntu.geole.info/ gutsy universe multiverse

the file "sources.list" will look something like below.

## or updates from the Ubuntu security team.
# deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
# deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

Error Message while starting Freevo
user@iolabs:/etc/freevo$ freevo
You are not part of the group 'freevo', you cannot exploit shared resources (such as the cache). Your data will be saved in /home/tvpc/.freevo

If you are using 8.04 ubuntu like me, you'll probably run into error while starting freevo which is documented here
