Well basically I've had this for a while, Beryl doesn't want to update, more specifically 'beryl-plugins' doesn't want to update. Below is the output from Konsole. Does anyone know what's going on? I'm probably doing something wrong, what with being a n00b and all. Code: matt@Lucifer:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

The beryl-dbus package is no longer used. It has been integrated into Beryl-plugins. Just issue: Code: sudo apt-get remove beryl-dbus && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
BTW, that Beryl SVN repository is dead now. Worse still, it doesn't include Aquamarine which is the new KDE window decorator. You are using Emerald, whilst pretty good for GNOME users, doesn't fit in well with KDE. You might want to install the latest SVN snapshot, in which case you can download it here. Download the one from the 8/3/7 because it is now installed via a wizard! You will want to pick option 3. Oh and by the way, you should uninstall all of Beryl before you do this, because the version you have is completely incompatible with this version
