Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package webmin


I am using this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-webmin-on-ubuntu-16-04 and have tried it multiple times, any ideas? Oh I also have little to know understanding of things ubuntu. Thanks

    Welcome to AskUbuntu. I had a look at the instructions, it said to add a repo to your sources; the repo was for Debian 3.1 (Sarge) [download.webmin.com/download/repository/dists/] which is really old. I liked webmin when I first found it, but lost interest in it [very quickly] when I realized it didn't respect the .conf file (it deleted all instructions/comments making it much harder to document & use anything else esp. modern features). Did you get any errors with prior commands (adding keys [apt-key], updating software-lists [apt-get update])?

    if you want/need it in a hurry; download.webmin.com/download/repository/pool/contrib/w/webmin is where the package is. you can wget http://download.webmin.com/download/repository/pool/contrib/w/webmin/webmin_1.880_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.880_all.deb then continue with later steps. This however doesn't fix your issue (why webmin wasn't found in repo's, and any updates to webmin won't be found so its no fix) [fyi: wget downloads the file, dpkg -i does the install step ('apt-get install' does both); the '&&' means dpkg is only run IF download was complete

    can you also please re-run sudo apt-get update and copy/paste (into the question) the lines around download.webmin.com/down... as I'm stuck at thinking that is the issue (I browsed the file structure quickly & nothing stood out as wrong). What Ubuntu are you using too please?

    The 16 server. lemme finish this in the morning or the afternoon since I have school early in the morning. Oh and little to no, my grammar is currently lacking. I added the download.webmin part to the end of the list. Then the two parts after that work fine.

    Please fix the formatting of your answer. Also, wget is default to any Ubuntu I know of. And you could add the source of your information --> webmin.com/deb.html. Also, if you read the instructions OP followed, you will see that it's basically the same information.

Mouse cursor on multiple screens with different PPI

Image
24 6 I'm using a 4K display along with a Full HD display with both almost the same physical size and it brings some mouse cursor problems to me working with it on the default Windows settings. As the mouse movement speed depends on the pixels, it's very slow on the 4K display and very fast on the Full HD display. Is there a windows setting or application to move the mouse depending on the visible distance and not the pixels? Another problem is the virtual wall between the screens I can't move the cursor from the upper half of the 4K screen to the Full HD screen: How is it possible to virtually stretch the cursor transition area of the Full HD screen to the one of the 4K monitor? The smallest problem, nevertheless painful, is the cursor size which varies between the screens. Is there a way ...
