Hi! I was just trying to upgrade, but this error message appears: “No se pudo instalar «kubuntu-kde4-desktop» (E:No se pudieron corregir los problemas, usted ha retenido paquetes rotos.)”

That’s something like:
“«kubuntu-kde4-desktop» couldn’t be installed. (E: Problems couldn’t be corrected,you have retained broken packages”.) What could it be?

I uninstalled OpenOffice 2.4 when I installed OpenOffice 3 final.

Now when running the apt-get commands above, apt-get wants to bring back my OpenOffice 2.4. How do I persuade apt-get to NOT re-install OpenOffice 2.4?

Gave it a shot, didn’t work for me. When I tried to get back to Gnome, it wouldn’t boot X.
Oh no! Somehow I got it back and dumped everything KDE on the machine. I’ll stick with Gnome for now.

Toplus:
Yes, that repository should provide updated packages. We’ll be likely to see some improvements when KDE 4.1.1 (the next maintenance release) is released.

Hi Tom,

Can you tell us if the repository that you mentioned to install KDE 4.1 will provide updates available with the rest of the regular updates? It doesn’t look like a regular Ubuntu repository, and since I decided to use KDE 4.1 in a regular basis and there is a lot of stuff that doesn’t work very well, I need to get updates as they come.

Thanks!

Tomas

Tried the KDE 4.1 and eye candy is cool but netwrok does not work. Works fine in Ubuntu/Gnome so I uninstalled and think I’ll stick with it (Gnome/Ubuntu) unless someone has very simple instrution for making the network work
