Re: Intrepid Upgrade Issues
Thanks to those who responded to my post upgrade issues with Intrepid. I finally got Gnome back but I had to remove the package "rarian-compat" to get apt-get working. This removed a whole heap of other applications, including synaptic which I had to install from a .deb, that I am now attempting to isolate and reinstall. Thanks again.

"-f" is short for "--fix-broken", which 9 times out of 10 does as advertised. The 1/10 times it doesn't is usually when your packages within the repos are out of sync, as typically happens during development/beta phases. In which case the solution is to wait a few days for the right packages to make it into the repos and try again. -Dan -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: Intrepid Upgrade Issues
OK, I attempted to reinstall ubuntu-desktop etc. like suggested but I'm now getting the following error: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I'm pretty sure that this is being caused by the ubuntu-desktop package. I'll attach the output from my terminal -- this is pretty long, sorry -- in the hope that someone can point me in the correct direction. Thanks. Simon. Reading package lists...

Re: Intrepid Upgrade Issues
Intrepid is still in Beta at the moment. If you aren't familiar with troubleshooting broken Ubuntu/Debian systems, it's not recommended that you use it until it's officially released, and the "update-manager" and "update-manager-core" applications work with it to solve any upgrade-time dependency issues. With that out of the way... Ubuntu installs GNOME by default via the "ubuntu-desktop" metapackage (as opposed to "kubuntu-desktop" for KDE). Try and reinstall it, and it should bring with it all of the dependencies necessary for gnome. When done and in GNOME, you can remove the "kubuntu-desktop" package and clean a few things up if you like. -Dan Simon Ives wrote: > Hi all. > > This morning I decided to upgrade to intrepid on my notebook.

You upgraded at a bad time - for a few hours an upload of mine would have caused things to be removed. Install ubuntu-desktop and xserver-xorg-input-all, and things should be fine again. -- William Grant -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Intrepid Upgrade Issues
Hi all. This morning I decided to upgrade to intrepid on my notebook. The upgrade went fine and reported no errors. Upon boot, however, the system entered into KDE rather than Gnome (strange seen as I'd never previously installed KDE). A logged out and changed the session to Gnome and when the system had finished loading nothing but my wallpaper is present. I can't even alt+F2 to launch an application. I rebooted into KDE and opened up Synaptic to see if there was a gnome package missing. Synaptic reported that Gnome wasn't installed at all, although it also reported the same for KDE. I selected the Gnome and KDE packages and their dependencies, installed them, rebooted, and still no Gnome (although KDE seems to have a few extras now). Can anyone help on getting my Gnome desktop back? I've no idea where to look. And while I don't mind KDE (which seems quite nice, I haven't used it since RH7) I would really like Gnome back.
