First let see if we can solve the depencie errors. Can you give us the
output when you this from a console: sudo apt-get update

Then you should add medibuntu repository http://www.medibuntu.org/ .
Follow the steps under Repository Howto for the version of Kubuntu you
have. Medibuntu will install support for many media formats that is
not available in a default Kubuntu.

And you should also add the backport repository so you get KDE 4.2
it's so much better and more stable.
