The installer and snapshot tools worked on up-to-date Xubuntu in December. I don't know if anyone has tried on the latest Ubuntu. Try installing what's missing, or else install gdebi and use that to install the debs. If you're using refractasnapshot 9.0.2*, you'll need to change the work_dir in the config file to somewhere that has more space than /tmp. If you're still having trouble, post the error messages you get.

Live config 3.0~a22-1ubuntu1 is in the Repo but i don't think refracta supports it, and can't install the older ones.

9.0.5* works with live-config-3.0~a43-1 in debian wheezy (testing). I'll have to download an ubuntu iso and try it.

Edit: ubuntu-12.04, not 10.04.
I booted ubuntu-12.04 iso in virtualbox, ran apt-get update, and I can't find the necessary packages to install. Can't find live-config, live-boot or the others. Universe is enabled. I tried it on command line and then tried it in the software center.
There is a listing for live-magic in the software center, but when I click on it and then click on "More info," I'm told that the package doesn't exist. If I install the refracta debs with dpkg and then run apt-get -f install, refractasnapshot gets removed, and I learn that sysvinit is not available. It's possible I'm doing something wrong. I always have trouble figuring out how to do stuff in ubuntu, because I expect it to act like debian.
Both scripts worked with Xubuntu in December. I don't know what has changed in ubuntu since then.
