error after install backport

[bubuzzz]

Hi all,

I just switch to Kubuntu and pretty new with it. Yesterday, when i added http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu karmic main and http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu karmic main and started to update, i got the error message

Is there anyone getting this error? Please help

Re: error after install backport

> FAQ: Repositories

- the PPA repositories are more or less experimental


The "...defaultstyles.xml" is in the two pckages:

- kword-kde4 1:2.0.2-2ubuntu3 (old)
- kword-data-kde4 1:2.1.0-0ubuntu1~karmic1~ppa1 (new)


A possible solution could be:

- Remove the old packages
- Install the new versions

- Remove the old packages
- Install the new versions

Or force the installation of the new packages

bubuzzz, if you're new to Linux maybe it'd be a good idea to wait awhile before using the backports repos unless you've got a solid reason for doing it.

Re: error after install backport

ok, it's me again. there are some problem with the codec and i really don't know where to fix it. I already installed kubuntu-restricted-extras and can play all kinds of music and video. However, when playing online (youtube, for example), i can only watch the video, but cannot hear anything. In Gnome, i never had any funny issue like this . Can anyone have suggestion, please?
