Re: KPackageKit installing deb packages problem

ok. In the folder that you have rhythmbox_0.12.4-1~getdeb1_i386.deb saved...

sudo dpkg -i rhythmbox_0.12.4-1~getdeb1_i386.deb && sudo apt-get -f install

But I see that you try to install it... Can you tell me how to fix my DEB GUI installator ?

Re: KPackageKit installing deb packages problem

westony@DeltaCore:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i rhythmbox_0.12.4-1~getdeb1_i386.deb

You missed half the line that you were to enter.

It was supposed to be:

sudo dpkg -i rhythmbox_0.12.4-1~getdeb1_i386.deb && sudo apt-get -f install

just run "sudo apt-get -f install" again now and it should work

I have no idea how to correct the GUI error. I've wondered why there isn't a "fix dependencies" button when that error shows up.

Re: KPackageKit installing deb packages problem

ok this is fixed but for test i tried other .deb file and got same error ... mb I should reinstall it ...

Re: KPackageKit installing deb packages problem

When installing DEB files that are not from the repository the GUI installer cannot resolve the software dependencies unfortunately and will continue to give that error if additional software is required from the repository to complete the install.

I install all outside DEB files, like the ones from GetDeb with the above commands.

Maybe someone else will have a better solution for you.

Re: KPackageKit installing deb packages problem

This problem is unlikely to have occurred had you installed the version of rhythmnbox that is in the repos. These should always be your first port of call, as the package managers also fulfil the task of resolving dependencies. Downloading packages from websites should be a very rare task.

Unfortunately the default package manager (kpackagekit) is not great at the moment. Synaptic (the ubuntu default) or even adept (the Kubuntu 8.04 default) are both superior - at least they show you all the packages!

Open a terminal and type

sudo apt-get update

Return
On the prompt enter password then return

To update the package list

Then

sudo apt-get install synaptic

or

sudo apt-get install adept

Then hit return and the packages will be downloaded and installed for you.

Try using gdebi to install from a .deb file
