So .. everytime I try to update the sytem

Kpackage kit says: Sorry An Unknown Error happened

Any ideas?

Re: So .. everytime I try to update the sytem

Open a console and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If you get any errors, copy and paste them in your reply.

Re: So .. everytime I try to update the sytem

Well...

I got no errors whatsoever with those two commands, but, when I tried to reboot it would not go anywhere except dropping to the command line.

(It did take over an hour to run the dist-upgrade)

I really had done nothing except load Kdevelop 4. I had tried to use an online tutorial for Kdevelop but I'm not sure it was 4 it was probably Kdevelop 3. Anyway since there was no real data there I just downloaded another .iso image and reformatted my Kubuntu partition.

Thanks for the help. (I would be cautious about using Kdevelop 4 for now ...)

Re: So .. everytime I try to update the sytem

I have been running lucid/kde-4.5 beta for a while now, and I booted my older 4.4 system and noticed a large number of updates. I didn't do it -- good thing, by looking at the messages posted about it.

Kdevelop probably had nothing to do with it, more than likely the massive update itself.

Go to the console, and try:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a

See if that gives any error messages.

Other thing to try (from the console):

sudo service kdm stop
sudo service kdm start

Note any error messages emitted.

If you are using a proprietary video driver, you may need to reinstall it, often after large upgrades.

On the other hand, it really could be Kdevelop4. If you want to write GUI apps, I'd recommend Qtcreator as your IDE. It's in the repos. KDE is built with Qt, but Qt apps can also be built for other venues (like windoze).
