Hey all,

I'm trying to install Hulu desktop since Hulu doesn't playback properly in iceweasel at fullscreen. The problem is it comes as a .deb as does the flash installer for that matter. Any help?

In the directory where the .deb is open a terminal(Roxterm) and su to root then:

Code: Select all

dpkg -i <nameofdeb>
Afterwards, to make sure all is well:

Code: Select all

apt-get -f install
This will bring in dependencies. You can also just type the first few characters of the name and then <tab> to auto complete.

Can you provide a link to the software your speaking of?
