    Install Ubuntu from Kubuntu/Adept

    when I run...
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
    I get...
    Code:
    E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop
    I've learned that this happens when I don't have the correct repositories enabled, but I can't seem to find a place where anyone says "if you want to install [xxxx] application, enable [yyyy] repository"

    what repository (and public key?) do I need to enable in order to install ubuntu?

        Wow, that wasn't very helpful now, was it! I suppose it does tell us that the package ubuntu-desktop actually exists and that you haven't got it installed...

        Can you install other packages? Methinks that perhaps your /etc/apt/sources.list needs tweaking followed by a
        Code:
        sudo apt-get update

          The contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list...
          I tried enabling the Ubuntu-desktop disc I have, in Adept, hence that entry. I do not understand why so many verifications failed, perhaps therein lies the issue?

            Thank you. I take it you have no issues getting onto the internet and that you have a flatrate. If so, please carry on...

            I'd uncomment all the CD entries (simply put a # in the first position of all cdrom lines). Now do
            Code:
            sudo apt-get update
            Do you get any error messages? If so, please post them. If not, you should now be able to install the ubuntu-desktop package.

              Re: Install Ubuntu from Kubuntu/Adept

              Okay, I ran
              Code:
              sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
              Commented out the lines pertaining to the CDROM
              Then I ran the update and installed.

              I came back and my computer was off... I may have not plugged in the laptop's power supply all the way. Anyway, when I rebooted I got to the login screen, selected Gnome and it only went as far as loading the background. no mas.

              Any thoughts on the issue? I ran the install command again and it printed:
              ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
              0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

              Is there a way to look over the log/verify the install completed... maybe it didn't finish?

                  I dunno, maybe it just needed to reboot one more time, Everything is working. I am writing this post from Firefox in Gnome Kubuntu!

                  Thanks for all the help Toad!!
