Trying to install livewallpaper

Question

I have tried everything, installing from the deb (getting the "dependency is not satisfiable" error) as well as from the ppa on the command line. I'd be grateful for any pointers. I'm on Ubuntu 15.10 on an HP Pavillion laptop (64 bit). Thanks in advance, Bernard

Here is the full install history:

Could you please describe in detail what you have already tried and add the exact and full outputs/error messages of those commands to your question? Thank you! — Byte Commander, Dec 01 '15 at 16:42
Thanks for picking this up, here you go (and I apologise for not doing this before, I'm a Ubuntu newbie...). Here you go: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily $ sudo apt-get update — Bernard Farkin, Dec 01 '15 at 17:43
That's not everything I requested. To troubleshoot the error you encounter, we need the full output of sudo apt-get install livewallpaper. Please [edit] your question to provide it, do not post it as comment. It will get an ugly and unreadable formatting otherwise. — Byte Commander, Dec 01 '15 at 17:48
And you are sure you ran the apt-get install command after the add-apt-repository and apt-get update command? Did any of those two others print an error message? — Byte Commander, Dec 01 '15 at 18:04
Yes, I did it in the order as above. I got lots of 404 errors, although the repositories are there (I checked). This only happens with livewallpaper. — Bernard Farkin, Dec 01 '15 at 18:08
Please add the full outputs of the other two commands to your question then as well. We need to troubleshoot those errors then. Was your internet connection working when you ran them? You can also try to run sudo apt-get update again and try the installation once more afterwards. This helps only if a temporarily broken internet connection was the problem though, but it's worth a try. — Byte Commander, Dec 01 '15 at 18:11
I tried to add the full output, but that includes lots of url's and I can't post more than 2 yet. It basically looks like it can't find the repositories. I did download the dep, but then I got "dependency not satisfiable", and yes I did check all the boxes in "update".... — Bernard Farkin, Dec 01 '15 at 18:17
You should be able to post the output if you format it as code. Therefore paste it into the question editor, then select it again and hit CTRL+K or click the {} button. It will indent every line with 4 spaces and mark them as code this way. If that doesn't work either, please upload the output to https://www.pastebin.com and copy the link here. — Byte Commander, Dec 01 '15 at 18:20

You can't install livewallpaper from those PPAs (ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-stable and ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily), because neither of them contains a build for your Ubuntu version (15.10 Wily).

You need to find another PPA which supports the latest Ubuntu version as well.

To remove those two unusable PPAs you added, run the commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-stable
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily

The same problem (no builds for your Ubuntu version 15.10/Wily) also applies on another PPA you have installed (ppa:muscovy/ppa). You should remove it as well:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:muscovy/ppa

Aha! Many many thanks, I can look forward to some sleep now ;) – Bernard Farkin Dec 01 '15 at 18:44
@BernardFarkin Instead of writing "thank you", you should accept the answer to mark your problem as solved. Please make sure you have read the AskUbuntu [tour], where you learn the most important rules and buttons of our site within two minutes. Thanks! – Byte Commander Dec 01 '15 at 18:55
