getdeb mirror site
For some reason getdeb site is not stable for quite some time so if you want mirror site use the following ones in your sources.list file
deb http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu lucid-getdeb apps
deb-src http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu lucid-getdeb apps
Procedure to follow
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list file
Open terminal and run the following commands
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following lines
deb http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu lucid-getdeb apps
deb-src http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu lucid-getdeb apps
Save and exit the file
update source list
sudo apt-get update
I get this error at the end of the terminal when I go to update:
W: GPG error: http://mirrors.dotsrc.org lucid-getdeb Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A8A515F046D7E7CF
Try this from a terminal session…
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com A8A515F046D7E7CF
sudo apt-key adv –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys A8A515F046D7E7CF
Or you can use this adress to browse all the app in GETDEB.

Enjoy,best regards.
their site goes down…ALOT. all the failures seem to be because they are running the site in a vm-server with other sites and the vm for getdeb runs up to 100% cpu usage. from their blog, they seem to have a unique setup that just seems to crap out-often! they have complained often that the getdeb vm crashing requires a reboot of the entire server.
glad to see someone mirroring their site. the ubuntu/debian community needs this!
Getdeb are a bunch of half-wits. You can tell because they have got Cristoph Korn helping to run things.
I wouldn’t touch their stuff with a barge-pole.
well i don’t know anything about him to comment, but ANY site that helps out the debian/ubuntu community is appreciated. he/they have gone to great pains to give us updated debian packages to useful applications. normally he/they are the first to compile/recompile packages and upload them to the repositories. the work he/they have done with playdeb is just extraordinary. maintaining a website is HARD work—criticizing one is far too easy.

Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Hi pst007x maybe you have fetch because your source have and error in the name of your distro quantal your source say quantel ,ubuntu quantal quetzal
example:go to ubuntu software center and click on edit tab and click to software source then go to other software tab search that source and click edit and chanche the distrubution name to quantal
sorry for my english
This is the correct command for key:
sudo apt-key adv –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys A8A515F046D7E7CF
And, you can use “games” instead or along with “apps”
