Comment 5 for bug 979535

It's been a while since my last attempt to install a downloaded .deb
package. I'm a newbee in Linux. So my behavior as a user still looks very
"Windowslike". I definitely tried to install by using the package directly.
The same way I installed several other packages. But somehow this
installation method became useless. It just doesn't work.

So I make my compromises.
Do you have any suggestions?
