Just got my server and I'm new to the linux. I was following the guide in:

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-seedbox-discussion-154/t-naqs-complete-setup-guide-linux-seedboxes-fedora-corecentosdebianubuntu-281331

I was in
# apt-get install vncserver wine xterm fluxbox vsftpd firefox vnstat
# update-menus part but it gives me the error
"Package vncserver is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package vncserver has no installation candidate" anybody know how to fix this one or can point me to a guide? (Can't post in that thread because of the 30day rule.)

in ubuntu i believe its called vnc4server. you can also search for packages from the command line


apt-cache search "name of package or app"

replace "name of package or app" with what your looking for.

hope this helps.
