For systems installed via liveCD or other means you'll need to manually add the freegeek repository and keyring in order to install freegeek-extras

From the GUI

  1. Go to System >> Ubuntu Software Center >> Edit >> Software Sources...
  2. Select the Other Software tab
  3. Click Add and type the following: deb http://apt.freegeek.org/ubuntu precise main
  4. Add the Free Geek keyring
  5. Go to System >> Ubuntu Software Center and search for freegeek-extras and install it
  6. Go to System >> Administration >> Update Manager and click Check, then Install Updates

From the CLI

Enter the following into a terminal (cut-and-paste for accuracy!):

sudo su -c 'echo "deb http://apt.freegeek.org/ubuntu precise main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fg.list'
sudo wget http://apt.freegeek.org/freegeek-archive-keyring.gpg
sudo apt-key add freegeek-archive-keyring.gpg
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install freegeek-extras
sudo apt-get upgrade
