Re: can't install Kplayer or Avidemux

Do have the first 4 repositories all checked, in Adept Manager? Adept>Manage Repositories and look at the "Kubuntu Software" tab. There should be an "x" in each of the top 4 boxes.

Then "Fetch Updates" and then try installing your selected packages again.

Re: can't install Kplayer or Avidemux

Thanks. I had also added the repository

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable main

as Kplayer was not in the others. I have now unchecked this one and AVidemux installs OK. But of course there is no option for Kplayer. I suppose I must get that from another repository as the other was not working properly?

I have solved it by installing on older version of Kplayer. I think the latest was for KDE4 but I'm with 3.5.9.

Good! I knew it was some problem with repos and/or versions. You gotta be careful with mix 'n match versions of the OS.

My main and most reliable system is Kubuntu Hardy Heron with KDE4, and I stay with the standard Kubuntu repos, except for medibuntu. But, if you are interested in another Debian/KDE OS, as a backup system, perhaps, I can recommend sidux 2008-01. It is a little more "on the edge", but that team does a marvelous job of keeping the sidux users away from the broken parts of Sid. On that one, the only extra repo that I added was Shames Compiz-Fusion, so I could get the compiz stuff for Debian Sid. It is also a very stable system, and KDE3.5.9 works just fine on it.
