Chromium asks me if I want to open an external application, I click yes and it just opens a new window. I followed all steps on the playdeb-website on how to install games via the website.

You will need to install the playdeb package first:

1) Download it: cd ~/Downloads && wget -c http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb

2) Make it executable: chmod +x ~/Downloads/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb

3) Install: sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb

All in one: cd ~/Downloads && wget -c http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb && chmod +x ./getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i ./getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb

I installed the playdeb package after downloading it from the site. I just double-clicked it. Installing a game didn't work. I then added the repository and the gpg-key. Still doesn't work... – arno May 5 '12 at 19:09
what is the output of which software-center ? – desgua May 5 '12 at 19:21
Nothing :D I installed supertuxcart and assaultcube via synaptic. But I can't install a game via apturl. – arno May 5 '12 at 19:37
I think that is the problem. Install it: sudo apt-get install software-center software-center-aptdaemon-plugins – desgua May 5 '12 at 19:46

You mean the Lubuntu software center doesn't work with apturl? – arno May 5 '12 at 19:50
