[14:12] <taxxter> hello everyone I have an unmet packages error in my ubuntu i need help can seem to get it fixed
[14:15] <taxloss> I have an unmet dependencies problem with libreoffice any help please?
[14:20] <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?
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <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/
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <taxloss> i just did a partial upgrade would that help?
[14:25] <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?
[14:26] <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?
[14:27] <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
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <zequence> sudo apt-get install -f
[14:29] <taxloss> got :Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[14:31] <zequence> no suggestion on what to do?
[14:31] <zequence> for which package?
[14:32] <taxloss> let me check
[15:07] <Gan|a> haters
[15:07] <cfhowlett> Gan|a, do you have an ubuntu question?
[15:08] <Gan|a> do i need to?
[15:09] <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?
[15:10] <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
[15:11] <zequence> or: man apt-get
[15:11] <zequence> No
[15:12] <Gan|a> i mean if when you install the program apt-get pulls dependencies will they also be removed?
[15:12] <Gan|a> bummer
[15:13] <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
[15:17] <Gan|a> its... complicated
[15:17] <Gan|a> confusing even
[15:23] <Gan|a> and ou also have obsoletes
[15:27] <Gan|a> seems like they add a bunch of haddock features as they go along
[15:27] <Gan|a> with out consolidating
[15:56] <modulistic> hi people, anybody using some kind of replacement for "band in a box"?
