hiya guys, what is the best way to update kunbuntu, surely you just run Adept, what else do i need to do ?
So I guess this means you got it installed OK? The first thing you need to do is add some repositories: Code: kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list Delete everything in that file, then copy and paste my repositories below: Code: #deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted #deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the ## distribution. #deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted universe multiverse #deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted universe multiverse ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe' ## repository. ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team, and may not be under a free licence. Please satisfy yourself as to ## your rights to use the software.

Then enter the command: Code: sudo apt-get update Then Code: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Also, you might want to upgrade to a better kernel. The default kernel is 386, but if you have a Pentium 3 or above, you should install the 686 kernel. Code: sudo apt-get install linux-686 But do this AFTER you have added the repositories
yeah, got it installed, with no help from unbuntuforums.org just deleted original partitions with acronis patition expert 2k3, then installed to unpartitioned space (continuos free space) right, guess what, yep, you got it, problems, what else from me ! entered Code: kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list got this (not very nice) reply Code: dave@dave-desktop:~$ su Password: root@dave-desktop:/home/dave# kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified kdesu: cannot connect to X server :0.0 root@dave-desktop:/home/dave# i think i'll stick with the current kernal for now, thanks anyway, and my sound card working, is the least of my worries
also manually tried copying it from /home/dave/sources.list (your list saved to desktop) and tried to overight it in /etc/apt/ (with konsole) but my konsole skills are not up to my DOS skills will try new kernal, see if that does owt funny, of just doesn't work (as ususal, for me) EDIT: my CPU's a celly 1700 Willamette
Okay, well type: Code: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list And follow the same instructions as above EDIT: Don't type it as root! Type it as your normal user
why, is that bad, i just did it without thinking, and it wasn't until after i saved it and brought Opera back up, and saw "Don't type it as root"
Because the command I gave you, kdesu or sudo, will ask you for the root password anyway! Also, kdesu is a graphical program, and Kubuntu will not allow you to launch a graphical program from the command line whilst logged in as root - hence that error message you got.
good i thought i'd been a naughty boy, but it turns out that i wasn't, thanks, you've saved my ass again, thanks BTW think i'll try those codecs now, yes i am a masikist
LOL Did you manage to add the repositories and run sudo apt-get update ? Only then, can you download mp3, mpeg codecs
