kubuntu?

[tikal26]

hey I would like to try this but as a kubuntu user I read in the page (in french is ther an english one) that support for breezy is comng in the next version. any idea when that is?

Easy Ubuntu now works fine with breezy: http://placelibre.ath.cx/keyes/index.php/2005/11/01/66-easy-ubuntu-24-beta4. If you want use it with Kubuntu you must install the "zenity" and "gnome-sudo" packages before.
You can also take a look to Easy Kubuntu (for Breezy too): http://olwin.free.fr/serendipity/
It's an Easy Ubuntu clone designed for Breezy (using kdialog and adding some dedicated options like gtk-qt and Koffice).

So which one is better to use? The clone or the one were you have to install 'zenity' and 'gnome-sudo' packages before.
Also whats the diffrence between this an Automatix?
Im also slightly confused on what this actually does.
Thanks

If you use Kubuntu please use Easy Kubuntu (created by Olwin and Anbreizh from Ubuntu-fr in collaboration with me, they help me creating Easy Ubuntu and I help them to create Easy Kubuntu, source code is very similar).

Automatix is a fork of Easy Ubuntu written by arnieboy (from ubuntuforums). Automatix is more complicated but have more features than Easy Ubuntu, it's the good choice for advanced users.
Begginers must use Easy Ubuntu, it's a very easy way to set up correctly Multimedia, web and other needed things. Easy Ubuntu is very safe and don't change the default applications and behaviors of Ubuntu.

hi, i installed easy kubuntu onto my system but it fails to update my sources.list and i cant continue to install anything. any ideas on what might have caused that?

thanks

[tikal26]

do you get any error message? or Does it just hangs?

[wishyjr]

well, it gets to 75% then a dialog box appears saying "repository update failed" and thats it. nothing else.
