Problem with Adept!

[mpaluszk]

Everytime I try to remove or add programs that come with the standard repo, Adept spits back:

'There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.'

Anyone got any ideas?

Also, I was able to 'install' the full openoffice suite, but it doesn't show up in any menus. Anyone got any ideas on that one too?

Basically, I need to find some kind of tutorial on how to use Adept (anyone willing to help?)

Re: Problem with Adept!

To fix the first issue, try this: open Konsole and enter the following commands:

sudo aptitude install -f

(will fix broken packages)

and

sudo dpkg --configure -a

(will finish depackaging and installing packages)

For the second issue, restart either your computer or X.org (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) and see if OOo (OpenOffice.org) shows up in your KMenu. If not, right-click the menu and choose the "edit menu" option, click the directory you want it to show up in, and choose "File -> New Item"; enter the name you want to call it and click OK. Click the entry you just made, look in the right column, and click the "Command:" box. Enter the command to run your application (oowriter = Word processor; oodraw = Image editor; ooimpress = Presentation [Power Point]; oocalc = Spreadsheet creator; ooweb = webpage editor; oomath = Equation editor; oobase = Database). Then, click the icon in the top-right, choose what icon you want to use, and click the save button. It should then show up in KMenu
