I've tried following the instructions from,
"http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/11/new-lens-lets-you-search-google-play-from-the- unity-dash".
The first command,
"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:abhshk-btra/rotatingcanvas"
adds the repository and returns successfully.
The second command,
"sudo apt-get update"
fails with,
"W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/abhshk-btra/rotatingcanvas/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
I understand the failure easily enough, there are no files for 'raring'. How to proceed from here? Wait for the ppa to be updated, or is there another way to get the lens installed?
Thank you for taking the time to look at this,
Steven
You can download and install the lens directly.
Download this
enter link description here
and install it by open a terimanl in the folder you downloaded it in and do a:
sudo dpkg -i googleplaylens_12.11_all.deb
After that you might have missing dependencies, so do a:
sudo apt-get install -f
to install missing dependencies. Remember that the package won't get updated itself by this way. When there is an update, you'll have to download the new .deb file and install it the same way.
