Ubuntu – ambiance-dark theme not working on ubuntu 16.04 LTS

16.04ambiancethemes

Back at Ubuntu 14.04, I used ambiance-dark theme, and when I updated to 16.04 I could not install it with the usual way I used to employ in previous versions of Ubuntu, the commands I used are:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes  
sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install ambiance-dark  

And when I used them now it shows me:

sudo apt-get install ambiance-dark

E: Unable to locate package ambiance-dark  

Best Answer

add ppa to the repo as normal, do not update the repo. Go into system settings>software & updates>other software.

There you'll need to edit the ppa both main & source. Where you see Distribution, change it from 'Xenial' to 'Trusty'.

Now in terminal run,

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install ambience-dark

I tried & it worked. Good luck
