Failed update

[sunwatt]

I got the message about broken packages when I tried to update with update manager.

So I used this in terminal, which has worked for me in the past..........

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It ran and most updates were done, at the end I got this message.

------------------------------------------------
xserver-xorg-video-mach64 (1:6.8.1~git20080301.56a1c9f0-1) experimental; urgency=low

* The mach64 submodule isn't included in ati anymore.
If your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains Driver "ati", you need to keep
xserver-xorg-video-ati installed, or switch to Driver "mach64".

Update manager says I have 2 more updates, kdenlive-data and kdenlive total of 3mb.

How can I fix this?

thanks

Jim

I got this warning as well, I think everyone did. There is nothing wrong with this, unless you are using this particular driver, just ignore it.

As for the remaining two programs they are possibly being held back due to some conflict or other. Not being a KDE user I couldn't tell you for sure.

Run

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install -s kdenlive

It will tell you what the problem is and what you can do about it.

[sunwatt]

Ok, I ran that
sudo aptitude install -s kdenlive

This is the output

I use kdenlive.. and it works but has a problem when it starts up, and then I make it work.

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

[viking777]

So it is what I said, a dependency issue.

Wait for it to be resolved.

[sunwatt]

Thanks, I'll wait and see

At that point I was told to TYPE "Q" and install continued and installed the remaining 2
worked fine .
