    installing gnome

    i've just installed kubuntu i386, trying to get an mp4 codec working for amarok... no luck... failed dependencies...

    i thought the dependency issue was why i was switching from slackware...

    how can i install gnome, the obvious (sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-install) doesn't work bitching about gnome desktop dependencies...

    Re: installing gnome

    It's not a Gnome v. KDE issue.
    It sounds as if your /etc/apt/sources.list is screwed up.
    Can you post it?

      should i be able to install gde from a fresh install?

        Re: installing gnome

        It looks as if you have some duplicate repositories in there. Can you follow these directions and see if you still get the same errors?

          Re: installing gnome

          looking promising, i had to uninstall xmms-mp4 plugin (which didn't work anyway)

          i had no idea what the difference between breezy and hoary were, i just copied the repositories from ubuntuguide.org which had hoary stuff...

          cheers, will update if i have any more problems regarding...

          oh, where are these debians going? what's the best way of getting computers on my lan to get the debians strait off me?

            Re: installing gnome

            hmm...

            u must try out
            Code:
            apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
            and not gnome-desktop-install
            i think this MUST be right AFAIK...
