| Koganei | yeah, it was Automatix |
| cables | aeropixie, on old hardware, yes. Koganei, don't use that |
| Frog29 | !automatix |
| ubotu | automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe |
| neozen | SirBob1701: and that it couldn't install it b/c it was a virtual package? |
| cables | Koganei, if you nead help with installing stuff, we'll walk you through doing it without Automatix. |
