Installing Lenses and Scopes in Ubuntu 12.04 error

Question

When I am going to download a lens or scope in terminal using the codes from http://www.noobslab.com/2012/01/install-important-lenses-in-ubuntu.html my computer says could not locate package

I want Contacts Lens Tomboy Lens YouTube Lens Books Lens and grooveshark lens

This is what comes in the terminal:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package unity-lens-books

I have copied the codes in – Harris Rubin yesterday and these were the results – Harris Rubin yesterday

Answer 1

Well, it looks like the PPA ppa:jsevi83/unity is not available anymore.

Before you follow the instructions, make sure you know what it means to play around in the /etc/apt/sources.list file: (Wiki.Debian: SourcesList, Help.Ubuntu: Repositories/CommandLine, Help.Ubuntu: Repositories/Ubuntu). You'll have to install the Lenses you are looking for from different sources:

1. For the Contact Lens

   • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/lenses
   • sudo apt-get update
   • sudo apt-get install scope-contacts-google
   • sudo apt-get install lens-contacts

2. The PPA for Tomboy Lens (Webupd8: Unity Tomboy Lens) is not available for 12.04. Add the follwing lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list (open with su privileges).

   • deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/remi.rerolle/unity-lens-tomboy/ubuntu oneiric main
   • deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/remi.rerolle/unity-lens-tomboy/ubuntu oneiric main
   • sudo apt-get update
   • sudo apt-get install unity-lens-tomboy This may not work as you expect as it installs a version of the Lens that is not tested for 12.04, but it was the only version I was able to find.

3. YouTube Lens (OMG!Ubuntu!: Unity YouTube Lens Updates with Browser Free Video Playback)

   • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/lenses
   • sudo apt-get update
   • sudo apt-get install lens-video scope-youtube

4. I could not find a Books Lens for 12.04. You could try to add the ppa manually (note that you'll add the version for Oneiric 11.10). Add the follwing lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list (open with su privileges).

   • deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/davidc3/books-lens/ubuntu oneiric main

   • deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/davidc3/books-lens/ubuntu oneiric main

   • And then:

   • sudo apt-get update

   • sudo apt-get install unity-lens-books

This might or might not work.

1. Grooveshark Lens (OMG!Ubuntu!: Search Grooveshark Tracks From the Unity Music Lens)
   • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:scopes-packagers/ppa
   • sudo apt-get update
   • sudo apt-get install unity-scope-grooveshark
