Backtrack 5 repositories in Ubuntu/Ubuntu repositories in Backtrack 5

Instead of install backtrack repositories in Ubuntu I highly recommend installing Backtrack 5 and activating Ubuntu repositories in it, and here is how you do it (thanks to boodoo of Ubuntu community)

  1. Change the password if you have not already done so
  2. apt-get install synaptic
  3. In synaptic select the ubuntu 10.04 repositories
  4. apt-get update
  5. apt-get upgrade
  6. And done, you now have Ubuntu 10.04 repositories in your Backtrack 5 installation. How ever you have to remember since Backtrack 5 is build on Ubuntu 10.04 you won't be getting unity or anything else introduced in Ubuntu 11.04
  • If you so choose you can install software-center to help with application installation.
