| taxxter | hello everyone I have an unmet packages error in my ubuntu i need help can seem to get it fixed | 14:12 |
|---|---|---|
| taxloss | I have an unmet dependencies problem with libreoffice any help please? | 14:15 |
| taxloss | already hate libre office | 14:20 |
| zequence | taxloss: That's not Ubuntu Studio specific, so you should be able to get help in #ubuntu, but let me ask you first, have you added PPAs? | 14:20 |
| taxloss | yes | 14:21 |
| zequence | When you do that, you change the system | 14:21 |
| zequence | It's not strictly speaking Ubuntu anymore | 14:21 |
| zequence | Could be the dependencies that libre office needs are not available, since some of them have been replaced | 14:21 |
| zequence | taxloss: Which release are you on? | 14:21 |
| taxloss | 12.04 | 14:21 |
| zequence | which PPAs have you added? | 14:22 |
| taxloss | i cant remember really | 14:22 |
| taxloss | let me try and check | 14:22 |
| taxloss | this one: add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa | 14:22 |
| zequence | you can do this in a terminal to get a list of files: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 14:22 |
| zequence | ok, so there's probably a problem with that PPA | 14:23 |
| zequence | it's not the version of libre office supported by Ubuntu | 14:23 |
| zequence | You should ask the maintainers of that PPA | 14:23 |
| zequence | ..for help, that is | 14:23 |
| taxloss | i just did a partial upgrade would that help? | 14:24 |
| zequence | Not really | 14:25 |
| zequence | But, if you want, you could try to do a full upgrade of your system | 14:25 |
| zequence | do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:25 |
| zequence | That will upgrade all the components in your system | 14:25 |
| taxloss | what does that mean? | 14:25 |
| taxloss | no loss of data? | 14:25 |
| zequence | There's never loss in data, when you upgrade the systemÂ. User files are untouched | 14:26 |
| taxloss | user setting also remain the same? | 14:26 |
| zequence | Yes. Always | 14:26 |
| taxloss | so that would fix it right? | 14:26 |
| zequence | I didn't say that | 14:27 |
| zequence | I said it would upgrade all the components in your system | 14:27 |
| zequence | It's a good start | 14:27 |
| taxloss | ok I'll give it a try | 14:27 |
| zequence | If the upgrade fails, read the error message. If it says, do: sudo apt-get install -f | 14:27 |
| zequence | ..then try that | 14:27 |
| zequence | the -f flag is for attempting to fix dependency issues | 14:28 |
| taxloss | i got a: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f | 14:28 |
| zequence | Yeah, try that | 14:28 |
| zequence | sudo apt-get install -f | 14:29 |
| taxloss | got :Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 14:29 |
| zequence | no suggestion on what to do? | 14:31 |
| zequence | for which package? | 14:31 |
| taxloss | let me check | 14:32 |
| Gan|a | haters | 15:07 |
| cfhowlett | Gan|a, do you have an ubuntu question? | 15:07 |
| Gan|a | do i need to? | 15:08 |
| taxloss | ? | 15:09 |
| Gan|a | ok if it makes you happy whats the difrence between apt-get remove and -purg and can i use -purge instead of remove? | 15:09 |
| zequence | purge also removes system-wide configuration files most often found in /etc/ | 15:10 |
| Gan|a | does it removes dependencies? | 15:10 |
| zequence | you can read more about it by doing: apt-get --help | 15:10 |
| zequence | or: man apt-get | 15:11 |
| zequence | No | 15:11 |
| Gan|a | i mean if when you install the program apt-get pulls dependencies will they also be removed? | 15:12 |
| Gan|a | bummer | 15:12 |
| Gan|a | maybe i need to use orphaned to remove unused dependencies? | 15:13 |
| zequence | you can remove unused dependencies with: sudo apt-get autoremove | 15:13 |
| Gan|a | its... complicated | 15:17 |
| Gan|a | confusing even | 15:17 |
| Gan|a | and ou also have obsoletes | 15:23 |
| Gan|a | seems like they add a bunch of haddock features as they go along | 15:27 |
| Gan|a | with out consolidating | 15:27 |
| modulistic | hi people, anybody using some kind of replacement for "band in a box"? | 15:56 |
