Update Issues

Just install the kubuntu desktop:

$ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-destktop

I an new to ubuntu it i know it's low level but really appreciated the help. How do go about doing so. Is it through the Synaptic Package or a wiki page?

Thanks peter i was able to find the kubuntu-destktop in the synaptic package. When i tried to insall i got this error messages

E: emifreq-applet: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: clvm: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3
E: redhat-cluster-suite: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

It aslo now on exiting the OS it hangs up and stops at " STOPPING CLUSTER SERVICES MANAGER" for around a min or so then it exits out of the OS.
The Kubuntu didn't install only the splash screen had changed during reboot after insall.

If anyone could help with these issues i would appreciated it.

Thank You.....

Can you install via the command line and post all output here?

Do this using the command given earlier.

I tried via the command line and Synaptic Package this what i get.

Thanks

I made an error in my command. Please use:

$ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop

instead of

$ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-destktop

Thanks Peter i figured it was a typo and typed the command $Sudo aptitude install kubunt-desktop. I see the Cluster Manager has also cluster to fail in the exit OS. and insalled of other symathic Package to fail with error also. This is still the error am getting either by way of command or Symatick Package. ..........................>

Forget about Synaptic. Work on the command line for this.

Do you actually use clvm and redhat-cluster-suite?

If not, can you remove them?

I don't really use Clvm redhat-cluster suite Can i just remove them from the Synaptic Package or is there an other way to remove them by command line. I really don't even know how to do so.

Once again Peter thanks for all your help..

I tried to remove both Clvm & Readhat-cluster Suite from the synaptic package, but it failed and did not remove it. i really don't know what folder they these programs sit in. here is the error that i got when i tried to remove them. I still tried to insall the Kubuntu by command line but it did the same error as before. Once again thanks for all your help ..

Why did you install the redhat-cluster-suite package? Where did it come from?

 I don't NO the only installed i have done are form the Synaptic package in ubuntu administration drop down. Is there a another way to remove this it seem to be causing the OS on exit to freeze and goto a command line exit and then exits out. and i get some error that related to Cluster stop type. I think i may have installed it from the synptic package the OS is running good but on some installs of programs and removal of them this Clvm causes them to crash and not install or remove. I tried to remove it from the Synaptic Package but it failed i really do know how it even go there just wold like to be able to uninstall it or remove it so i could ugrade to Kubuntu. Thanks once again ..

Somehow your system has broken packages.

Provide the output of this command:

$ grep ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list

Thanks Peter I just back up all my data and reinstalled Ubuntu . I was able to install the Kubuntu-desktop from the command line it completed. But now am just confused about the only thing. the only thing that changed was the log on and log of splash screens. Wasn't the desktop icons and layout was to supose to change also. I am just confused about it now. I really apprecied all the help u gave me. That is what i love about open source and Ubuntu people like u who gone out their way to help others.. That what makes it great . THANKS...

When you boot the system and the kdm window manager comes up you need to choose KDE as session type. There is an option for this to the left of where you enter you username and password.

Thanks Peter i got it all is working good i just have one last question how do i enable the Desktop Effects in Kdm and how can i put Icons on the desk top like my file systems or computer icon. In order to see the other hard drive in my computer.

I'm glad you got it to work.

For your other questions, please open a new ticket.

thanks
