software installation - How can I install brasero in Ubuntu 16.04?


As Brasero dropped out of the core apps in 16.04, I tried to install brasero via APT but with no luck


sudo apt-get install brasero

The response tells me that there is no package brasero.


Brasero isn't found in the new Gnome Software either :-(


Do I need a specific PPA or this just because 16.04 is still beta?


EDIT:
For some reason the universe repository was not ticked in Applications & Updates. See answer below for the solution.



It's probably repository issue, Your /etc/apt/sources.list doesn't contain what is needed.


sudo echo "deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install brasero

For more informations You can check this article:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/brasero




Edit:


If you're using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Live CD, you can check the Universe checkbox in "Software & Updates" (second one in screenshot) from the "show applications" menu.
