+From our nightly-builds on Ubuntu Launchpad we regularly copy package to the Launchpad PPA:  **''ppa:x2go/stable''**.
-Please use this PPA for installing X2go on Ubuntu platforms (amd64/i386, lucid/maverick/natty). Use the follwing commands to add the ppa:x2go/stable as a package source to your local system and perform a search for X2go-related packages:
+Before adding X2Go's Launchpad package repository to your APT system, please make sure that you use Ubuntu's ''main'' __and__ ''universe'' repository on your Ubuntu system. The very minimal ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' must look like this. (Of course we recommend to have Ubuntu security updates enabled, explaining how to do this is off-topic here, though.):
+<code>
+deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu <my-ubuntu-version> main universe
+</code>
+===== Add the X2Go repository on Launchpad to APT =====
+Use the following commands to add the ''ppa:x2go/stable'' as a package source to your local system.
+Before doing so, you might like to learn about [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet|apt-get]], [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo|sudo]] and [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#Adding_Launchpad_PPA_Repositories|ppa]]s
+Alternatively you can also use the Ubuntu [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_PPAs | software center]].
 <code>
 $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable
-$ aptitude update
+$ sudo apt-get update
-$ aptitude search x2go
-$ ...
 </code>
-Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2go packages. You may continue by installing x2goserver, x2goclient or pyhoca-gui or any other of the available packages.
+You might have to install ''add-apt-repository'' first using:
+<code>
+$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
+</code>
+The X2Go related packages should now be listed calling:
+<code>
+$ apt-cache search x2go
+</code>
+Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may continue by installing x2goserver, x2goclient or pyhoca-gui or any other of the available packages.
+===== Behind a Proxy? =====
+If you are on a site that uses a HTTP proxy to connect to websites on the internet, make sure you run the following commands first before adding the X2Go PPA to your APT package management system (replace ''my.proxy.server'' and ''my_proxy_port'' with your local site's proxy settings):
+<code>
+$ export http_proxy=http://<my.proxy.server>:<my_proxy_port>/
+$ export https_proxy=http://<my.proxy.server>:<my_proxy_port>/
+</code>
