Cannot add additional s/w

[aecaudel]

I have just installed Kubuntu 7.10. Everything went fine but I cannot add any new software. After I click the "Add/remove Software" item, it runs and asks for my password. It then opens but all programs are grayed out except those that were installed at installation and are already checked. This sounds like a permissions problem but I'm using the correct p/w ( Mine! - The one I log in with)

How do I get past this.

For Gutsy Installations:

Open Adept Manager (K Menu | System | Adept Manger) and click on Adept | Manage Repositories. On the first tab, check all items (you don't need the last item checked unless you intend to download source files for compiling). On the Third-Party Software tab uncheck/delete the cdrom repository entry. Close the window. If Adept doesn't automatically fetch updates, click on Fetch Updates. You will now have access to the thousands of available packages. If you still have problems, open a console and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Thanks Snowhog. Unchecking the CDROM repository fixed it.

Very good. Welcome to Linux and the Kubuntu Forums!
