I just installed ubuntu warty on my PowerBook G4 and I'm trying to install KDE, but I'm have problems.

# apt-get install kde
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde: Depends: kde-core but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kde-amusements but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdeaddons but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdeadmin but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdeartwork but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdegraphics but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdemultimedia but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdenetwork but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdepim but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdeutils but it is not going to be installed
Depends: quanta but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

My source.list is:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe
deb http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/debian ./
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty-security main restricted

What should I do?

As far as I know, KDE on UBUNTU PPC doesn't work for failed dependencies.
I asked in the forum few days ago, and the answers I got confirm this.

Sorry

Yes it appears to be a bug hopefully this will be fixed soon. I like Gnome but there are some KDE apps I just can't do without.

i was able to install kde on ubuntu, just inserting the debian sid repositories inside /eta/apt/sources.list

then apt-get install kdebase

it works fine here, then you can also remove the above-mentioned repositories if you like ;) :p

ciao!

Moly82,
I am new in this.
I am trying to make KDE work in Ubuntu. I managed to install it but I don't know how can I run it.
Also, do you know how to change GNOME for KDE at start up?
