    Adept crashed, please help

    OK, I'm newbie in Kubuntu and I have a problem. I tried to install java with Adept manager, but I didn't know that during installation, when dialog box apears about Terms, that I need to scroll down to the end and then I'll see checkbox "I agree". So I just clicked Next and installation could not be finished, I've got the message "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." Since then every time I run Adept manager I get the message that some other program is using the packaging system database. So I deleted the lock file
    Code:
    /var/lib/dpkg/lock
    but again when I run Adept manager nothing happens, he's only loading and suddenly quit (he doesn't even ask me for a password). And then he makes, again, the lock file and if I run him he would show me the same message as before. But I fixed that in console with command
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    Now I can start Adept manager but when I request something to install and when I click on Apply changes the following screen appears only 0.0000001 second.

    And this is happening for any package I try to install (including java). And now I can start Adept but I can't install anything. Please help me how to fix this.

      OK this solved a problem above (I mean it doesn't bring me the error as soon as I click the Apply changes) but now when I click on Apply changes download isn't starting. It only says "Waiting for headers" and after some time it displays the same error as above.

        allright, let's forget about adept for a while (or do like i did: remove it )
        let's work from command line, so that we know exactly what's going on...
        first off, pls, post the result of the following:
        Code:
        cat /etc/apt/sources.list
        then...
        did the java packages eventually install or not?
        pls, post the result of the following:
        Code:
        sudo dpkg-query -l 'sun-java*' | grep -v ^un
        eventually, let's try and install something and see what happens...
        pls, post the the result of
        Code:
        sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install synaptic
        synaptic is the tool i use in place of adept...

            Re: Adept crashed, please help

            everything seems to be working fine, actually.
            i don't see any errors or anything...
            your apt looks good.
            so, it's either adept itself, or something funny with the java packages.
            try and remove them with apt and then try install them again with adept...
            Code:
            sudo apt-get remove sun-java5-bin sun-java5-jre --purge
            if you still have troubles, have a go with synaptic and see what that says.
            i'd ditch the bloody adept, anyway, though...

              You know I tried to install some package yesterday and it worked fine, so thanks for the help.
              I know that this question doesn't belong here, but which codecs I need to install, so I can watch movies, and which player should I install (which is the best)?

                Re: Adept crashed, please help

                i personally do the following...
                i use synaptic (or apt, from command line) for all the linux specific stuff.
                then i use automatix for all the non linux specific stuff.
                which includes codecs.
                have a go.
                it should be easy.
                automatix will add some repositories to you /etc/apt/sources.list file.
                and it uses apt, of course.
                so the working principles is the same as adept, synaptic...
                it just makes it easier to install all the most popular (non linux specific) applications.

                as for which is the best player...
                for music i use amarok, which drives my ipod, interacts with last.fm, ...
                for video there's mplayer (with different front-end guis), vlc, ...
                i use the xine movie player (though, watching dvds on my pc is something i rarely do).

                hth
                cheers
