    Ubuntu/Kubuntu Confusion (FIXED)

    I tried to install Flash player into Kubuntu Lucid with:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

    I got no error messages, but I now realize I should have asked for kubuntu-restricted extras instead.

    Did I cause any damage, and is there a way to reverse the installation and get the Kubuntu stuff instead?

    Thanks--

    Sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted extras and then sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras.

      Thanks, Snowhog. This is the second time I've not noticed that I was downloading Ubuntu stuff instead of Kubuntu. Would be nice if apt could check for this mistake. Thanks also to Kubuntu Forum -- I'm really impressed with the help from the community.
