I shoulda waited beta 2 errors

[bubblecruntz]

ok I thought i'd grab the beta 2, reading the forums seemed everyone was having no problems and the ones that were popping up, were things i didn't have like google earth and stuff. So I did the alt-f2 method found on the kubuntu org link....everything went as it said, it asked for the password, then began to download sources and then files. the problem i think began a few seconds after that. It asked if i wante dot now install the upgrade, I said yes and it began in ernest. then about 2 or 3 seconds later it blanked my screen and went to the login prompt. I assumed this was what was suppose to happen, so I input my password and after everthing loaded back up i got a taskbar icon saying i needed to restart my computer to finish the upgrade or update not sure which word was used. so I restarted, and it did nothing. Now i know enough to know that after all that downloaded there is no way in hell that it install all that in 3 seconds. so i opened Muon Package Manager and it said there is updates, when I checked that it listed what i can only assume is all the files it didn't update. So I said apply changes and the mouse showed the "i'm busy don't bug me" look, and i waited, only to get the error message, this won't be word for word, another program is using apt please close any other programs and try again. Or somthing to that effect. after trynig 2 or 3 times I went to Konsole and tried "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" and the resulting error said to run -f install to fix the problem it listed. So i typed "sudo apt-get -f install" and I get this line...

E: Internal Error, No file name for libapt-pkg4.12
not sure what to do now, so help?
ps i tried "sudo apt-get install libapt-pkg4.12" can't remember the error i got but suffice it to say it didn't work

[SteveRiley]

It would help to know what that final error was.

Various mechanisms can recover situations like this. Let's try this one first:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install -fy
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
sudo dpkg --configure -a

[bubblecruntz]

ok i tried again to get you the error message after i post this i will try your commands

so do I "sudo apt-get upgrade" again or is it all installed now?

[SteveRiley]

Try the entire sequence again. If you still have errors, then:

sudo apt-get update
apt-get -s dist-upgrade

This will run a simulation but not actually do anything. Post the output of that here.

[bubblecruntz]

ok that worked, thank you very much. I shall marked solved

[SteveRiley]

Cool, glad you got it sorted.
