Installing UbuntuStudio when you already have Ubuntu installed

So you've got your pc up and running with ubuntu or ubuntu desktop and now you've found out that there is a pretty cool creative suite distribution of ubuntu called ubuntustudio, and you want it because, obviously, you are creative...

Well, lucky for you, upgrading is easy. Just follow the steps below to remove your ubuntudesktop and replace it with, in my opinion, a spiffier ubuntustudio desktop and cool open source programs...

Resolution

first, get on terminal and run these commands:

sudo su -c 'echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list'

sudo wget -q http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

that'll let you access the ubuntustudio project repository...

then, run the following command:

sudo aptitude install package_name_here

replace package_name_here with the following package names: (make sure you only use the package name and not the description!)

  • ardour - Digital audio workstation (graphical gtk2 interface) (This is Ardour 2)
  • ardour-i686 - Digital audio workstation (graphical gtk2 interface) [i686] (This is Ardour 2)
