[00:43] !ops | noooo waaaaa kline me waaaaaa [08:34] Good morning. [08:34] hi [12:41] Hiyas all [12:45] Hi [12:45] Hey, i made something probably stupid on my machine: upgrade existing 14.04 to utopic [12:45] Now during the update i hit : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/1394391 [12:45] Launchpad bug 1394391 in kde-workspace (Ubuntu) "package kde-window-manager-common 4:4.11.12-0ubuntu1.1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kcontrol/windowspecific/kwin-window-matching.png', which is also in package kde-workspace-data 4:4.11.11-0ubuntu0.2" [Undecided,New] [12:48] That is, apt-get -f install tries to install 'kde-window-manager-common' that tries to overwrite file from 'kde-workspace-data' that cannot be removed due dependency to 'kde-workspace-bin' [12:48] any suggestions ? [12:49] (other than take backups and do fresh install ;) [12:51] susundberg, did you update and upgrade 14.04 before upgrading to 14.10 [12:51] ? [12:52] Umm, no i think this fresh 14.04 [12:53] (-> i ended up doing --force-overwite -- seems to continue, there is rather lots of files conflicting, i guess other package should be going away .. ) [12:54] still needs updating and dist upgrading if it's from an iso [12:54] Oh, sorry i misunderstood your question, no -- actually not sure was it now up to date [12:55] i guess there is no going back at this point .. [12:55] pobly not [12:56] unless you have / and /home partitions [13:03] susundberg, I highly recommend separate / and /home partitions. If something goes wrong one can always just reinstall the OS to / and leave the /home partition untouched which contains your data and config files [13:05] Ya, i agree. Or rather have two '/' so you can always go back to old [13:05] but unfortunately this laptop does not have such luxyry -- not sure why, i guess it was suposed to be temp-installatioin [13:05] use the manual partitioning during the inatallation and reformat / and just make sure you choose the previous /home mountpoint as /home and ext4 or whatever you use3d previously [13:05] ok [13:06] Thanks for the tips anyway :) [13:09] susundberg, try running, sudo dpkg --configure -a , then the -f install command [13:12] I got it running fine with --force-overwrite on the specific package and then followed with apt-get -f install [13:40] susundberg, good [13:42] susundberg, btw this chat is for 15.04 support, the regular ubuntu chat is for all others === Guest43104 is now known as CEnnis91
