How can I install brasero in Ubuntu 16.04?

rated 0 times [ 7] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 61068 / 2 Years ago, fri, february 4, 2022, 10:16:50

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.
