[14:12] hello everyone I have an unmet packages error in my ubuntu i need help can seem to get it fixed [14:15] I have an unmet dependencies problem with libreoffice any help please? [14:20] already hate libre office [14:20] 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] yes [14:21] When you do that, you change the system [14:21] It's not strictly speaking Ubuntu anymore [14:21] Could be the dependencies that libre office needs are not available, since some of them have been replaced [14:21] taxloss: Which release are you on? [14:21] 12.04 [14:22] which PPAs have you added? [14:22] i cant remember really [14:22] let me try and check [14:22] this one: add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa [14:22] you can do this in a terminal to get a list of files: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [14:23] ok, so there's probably a problem with that PPA [14:23] it's not the version of libre office supported by Ubuntu [14:23] You should ask the maintainers of that PPA [14:23] ..for help, that is [14:24] i just did a partial upgrade would that help? [14:25] Not really [14:25] But, if you want, you could try to do a full upgrade of your system [14:25] do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:25] That will upgrade all the components in your system [14:25] what does that mean? [14:25] no loss of data? [14:26] There's never loss in data, when you upgrade the systemÂ. User files are untouched [14:26] user setting also remain the same? [14:26] Yes. Always [14:26] so that would fix it right? [14:27] I didn't say that [14:27] I said it would upgrade all the components in your system [14:27] It's a good start [14:27] ok I'll give it a try [14:27] If the upgrade fails, read the error message. If it says, do: sudo apt-get install -f [14:27] ..then try that [14:28] the -f flag is for attempting to fix dependency issues [14:28] i got a: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f [14:28] Yeah, try that [14:29] sudo apt-get install -f [14:29] got :Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [14:31] no suggestion on what to do? [14:31] for which package? [14:32] let me check [15:07] haters [15:07] Gan|a, do you have an ubuntu question? [15:08] do i need to? [15:09] ? [15:09] 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] purge also removes system-wide configuration files most often found in /etc/ [15:10] does it removes dependencies? [15:10] you can read more about it by doing: apt-get --help [15:11] or: man apt-get [15:11] No [15:12] i mean if when you install the program apt-get pulls dependencies will they also be removed? [15:12] bummer [15:13] maybe i need to use orphaned to remove unused dependencies? [15:13] you can remove unused dependencies with: sudo apt-get autoremove [15:17] its... complicated [15:17] confusing even [15:23] and ou also have obsoletes [15:27] seems like they add a bunch of haddock features as they go along [15:27] with out consolidating [15:56] hi people, anybody using some kind of replacement for "band in a box"? === staxx is now known as taxloss [22:19] hello there [22:20] i'm new here soo some questions could looks stupid [22:21] i have one 'presonus inspire 1394' external sound cart [22:21] is there any chance to have it work in ubuntu 13.10 ?
