I'm trying to download http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/v-mobile-broadband from firefox on Ubuntu 14.04, but it give me a prompt that says choose the application to open the downloaded file, so I don't know what I should choose and why when installing other things from other websites it start download normally?

  • choose software-center from `/usr/bin` – Avinash Raj Jun 10 '14 at 06:43
  • I choose it but it give me : 'There isn’t a software package called “v-mobile-broadband” in your current software sources' – user281814 Jun 10 '14 at 06:45
  • v-mobile-broadband has been removed from 14.04. It is the reason. Try with the Launchpad repository given you earlier. –  Jun 10 '14 at 06:56

    Visit [This](http://askubuntu.com/questions/380650/in-ubuntu-is-there-an-application-like-huawei-mobile-partner-for-broadband-co) for installing such app. Alternatively install `modem-manager-gui` by [apt-link](https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/modem-manager-gui/) – Pandya Jun 10 '14 at 07:01

V Mobile Broadband is not in default Ubuntu Software Center repositary currenlty. You will have to install it from PPA. To add the PPA, run next commands in console:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:crass/v-mobile-broadband
sudo apt-get update

then run 

sudo apt-get install v-mobile-broadband

or open your link above with software-center from /usr/bin/.

  • it must be here `http://ppa.launchpad.net/crass/v-mobile-broadband/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages` not in `http://ppa.launchpad.net/crass/v-mobile-broadband/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages` so it is `trusty` not `saucy`, thinking how add/fix it. – Ruslan Gerasimov Jun 10 '14 at 07:53
