Now that you have xubuntu installed, you should be able to open a terminal and post the results of the apt commands you issued. The reason for doing that is that a bug report may need to be filed so that those who maintain the apt repositories can fix either the dependencies or the version number of the programs. <div>On 8/15/06, Nigel Ridley <<a href="mailto:nigel@rmk.co.il">nigel@rmk.co.il</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Roshan Mansinghani wrote: > Please post the results of the apt commands that you issued. That's a little bit difficult as the problem is with my laptop but the gist of it is that since I wasn't getting anywhere with trying to 'dist-upgrade', using various kde versions (3.5.3 and 3.5.4) in the end I did a sudo apt-get --purge remove kde*' thinking "I will start afresh". After removing and purging kde* I then tried to install kde-core - no joy; kdebase - no joy and finally kubuntu-desktop - no joy! They all failed on unmet dependencies regarding ksysguard - something to the effect of: ksysguard can't be installed because it needs a different version number but it's not going to be installed. So I installed xubuntu-desktop for just now until I can figure out how to get KDE back without having to do a reinstall.
