Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

So I did a "aptitude install kubuntu-desktop", and at the end, it gives me the following:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdebase-runtime: Depends: libstreamanalyzer0 (>= 0.6.3) but 0.5.11-1ubuntu2 is installed.
Depends: libstreams0 (>= 0.6.3) but 0.5.11-1ubuntu2 is installed.

kdepim-strigi-plugins: Depends: libstreamanalyzer0 (>= 0.6.3) but 0.5.11-1ubuntu2 is installed.
kopete: Depends: libmsn0.1 which is a virtual package.

Any idea how to meet these "unmet dependencies"?

Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

Ah, this seems to be the same issue as Bug #354927 from the "kdelibs" package. And there doesn't seem to be an easy resolution atm. Fantastic.

Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

Try
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude -f install kubuntu-desktop
If this still does not work check you sources to see if you have some that might not work well with others, such a ppa.

Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

Just a reminder: When the update process tells you to reboot, do NOT put it off. Reboot immediately after the update is compete.

This msg about the need to reboot is usually because a new kernel has been installed, along with programs used by the system that require the new kernel in order to work correctly. If the kernel is the active OS then trouble may result.

When you continue working the still running OLD OS calls on those programs (their names haven't changed) but those programs expect to see functions or conditions in the kernel space that are not there. Trouble results.

Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

Well kde is up and running (mostly)... I've noticed a couple of keyboard shortcuts that aren't working. Alt+tab, Alt+F2, neither work. Those are the two I normally use. If there are other, it's entirely possible they don't work either. Any ideas how to fix this?

**flarson** · Apr 19, 2009, 09:43 PM

Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

System Settings->General->Keyboars&Mouse->Global Keyboard Shortcuts.
In Kwin Walk through Windows is what has ALT-TAB for me. That is probably what you want. You can set it there. Select Run Command Interface as component and set Run Command to ALT-F2 if it is not.

**gs3user007** · Apr 20, 2009, 02:08 AM

Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

When I click on "Keyboard Shortcuts", a prompt comes up that says the following:

Failed to contact the KDE global shortcuts daemon
Message: No such object path '/KdedGlobalAccel'
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject

So now what?

**flarson** · Apr 20, 2009, 06:58 AM

Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

I expect the dependencies of kubuntu-desktop are such that they do not include this. I am pretty sure that
sudo aptitude -f install kde
will install what you want, and it will probably install much more. YOu could probably be more selective if you want to research it, or maybe someone else here can provide guidance on being more selective.

**gs3user007** · Apr 21, 2009, 12:33 PM

Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

Okay, I did a "sudo aptitude -f install kde". It did go ahead and install a ton of stuff for me, but keyboard shortcuts still don't work, and when I try and go look at them in the settings I get the same message as before:

Failed to contact the KDE global shortcuts daemon
Message: No such object path '/KdedGlobalAccel'
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject

Next idea?

Re: package update failed, need help reinstalling kde

I think we need a Dbus expert. It seems that your kde is not establishing dbus properly. You can try to run
kcmshell4 keys
kcmshell4 keyboard
kcmshell4 keyboard_layout
but I expect you will see the same error. You are using KDM are you not?
