    spacer
  3. Once the Ubuntu Software Center is opened, unmaximize it by right-clicking the Ubuntu Software Center Icon in the top bar.
  4. Accept to setup TI OMAP Public PPA as a repository
  5. Click on the "Install" button for "ubuntu-omap4-extras".
    NOTE: Some debconf dialogs may seem to be hidden. For example, license agreements windows asking the user to confirm. If the user does not notice the window in the top bar, it seems as if the installation of the packages is "stalled" (but this is not the case). More information is available here.
Installing OMAP4 addons through command line will solve this issue.

In case you have a proxy server, please do this:

  1. export http_proxy='xyz.com:port#'
  2. export https_proxy='xyz.com:port#'

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras

This may take a couple of hours to complete. Afterwards a restart is required.

[edit] Installing OMAP4 Addons via Command Line

The desktop icon is not present if you use the Ubuntu Desktop session type, and you must use the command line. Also, the command line is better for you, so don't feel bad.

Enable Universe and Multiverse Repositories on your PandaBoard

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the deb lines which contain reference to universe and multiverse.

Use with caution:

sudo sed --in-place=.bak -e 's/^# \(deb.*\)/\1/' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
Install the OMAP4 development PPA
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiomap-dev/release
sudo apt-get update
Installing OMAP4 addons
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras
Grab a sandwich

Make it two. It's going to be a while.
