Adept Help

[rhthekida]

Hey, I've been trying to install the kde-amusments metapack, and after I hit install, and then commit changes it gives me this error.

"There was an error comitting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages."

Thanks for your help.

Which distro are you using and how are you trying to install it?

[rhthekida]

Sorry, I'm using kubuntu and trying to install it through adept.

[vidd]

try using apt-get.... i have had similar issues with adept
I solved it by firing KDE and installing Ubuntu with gnome

[rhthekida]

yea I tried the apt-get and it's still giving me an error saying the package keeps breaking, I'm wondering if it has to do with my repositories? Any idea what they need to be set at?

[vidd]

Try selecting them all, and removing the one for the cd...
You may also want to check out the KDE web site, and download them directly and install them with ./config, make and make install method

[rhthekida]

I've gone everywhere looking for what my repositories should be set at, and even with that, there is still the problem that it's giving me a BREAK (install) in adept and gives me errors when I try to sudo apt-get and program or updates.

comment these lines (place a # in front of them)
I think the issue is that you are getting incompatable packages
