Jordi,
 
Please try it yourself and you will see what I mean. And why I need to install packages in Home directory if I need them in active Octave directory as it arranged in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
And another question. Why Octave has to install F-pkgs differently in different releases of Ubuntu? I am simple user of application and do not know much about different Linux OS structures. 
Would be nice if you show me how to install package directly from Octave terminal in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or 10.10 for example so loading it will not end up with message  “package is not installed”
Thanks
Alexander

Sigh, really? Debian recently worked really hard to make packages for
those, but I guess Ubuntu's release schedule didn't match up with
Debian's and now we will have to wait 6 more months for Ubuntu to get
the Debian packages.

However, I do see some Octave-Forge packages in Ubuntu, e.g.

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/octave-image
    http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/octave-control

Which Octave-Forge package do you want?

If you want to install the packages from Octave-Forge and not use the
Ubuntu packaging, try e. g.

    pkg install -forge control

Because Octave can install packages to your homedir without needing
admin privileges. I'm not sure what are you doing exactly that is
causing Octave to fail due to not having admin privileges.
