You have lost me there . If you are referring to the `muon` package manager the system won`t let me install it due to broken packages.

Readout from : sudo apt-get install muon

reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$ sudo apt-get install muon

Do the same with Synaptic then.

Lost me there , do what with Synaptic , reinstall ?

Update : Terminal saying that Synaptic is already the latest version after reinstall.

[Snowhog]

No. Use Synaptic to identify any 'pinned' packages.

Settings > Filters and click the New button, click the Deselect All button and check the Pinned box. Change the name of the filter from New Filter 1 to Pinned. Click the OK button.

You now have a filter that will show all Pinned packages, if there are any.

kdeuser, you will have to reboot for the polkit thing to take effect.

Completed these commands , below is a print :



1 broken package showing i.e. kubuntu-desktop , however, just installed an image convertor package and performed those same commands only changing from `pinned` to `pinned2` - nothing broken. Probably because kubuntu-desktop was not selected , i think.

Thanks for that , switched the pc back on this morning.

@kdeuser Is the device your trying to "upgrade" anything like this?

[kdeuser]

@NickStone,

The htpc i`m using is this :

The video is in German i`m afraid , as the machine was built there. My Reelbox is version 2 , the video is showing version 3 but both are practically identical , barring software differences.

[kdeuser]

Stumbled on this post just now about removing Gnome from Ubuntu-desktop.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/49863...-desktop-14-04

Maybe it is a dependancy/package in Gnome which is confusing the os. Although , logic says that kde is built on Gnome - ( please correct me here if i`m wrong ) and shouldn`t be causing the dependancy errors.

Therefore, remove Gnome and enter kde . Would this work , this time i will definitely wait for some wisdom here. Don`t want to reinstall BM2LTS again.

if you had just installed kubuntu you could have installed your dvb stuff 100x over by now...

Probably could on a normal install . I have installed Kubuntu in Reelbox , it works fine but i lose the dvb part of the htpc.

Last night installed a beta version of BM2LTS V2.48N RC5 as the guys at Reelbox4you suggested i do then `sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop`.

They were confident that would solve the issue but still no kde.

[sithlord48]

since they are using bastardized *buntu and mostly *buntu packages im sure the software to make your dvb work is availble on stock *buntu .
