So far i've had nothing but problems with the 9.10 to 10.04 upgrade. Anyways here's my problems.
1. With Karmic i had been using avernard repos for updated nvidia drivers. When i upgraded i wanted to stop using the repos so i removed the source and apt-removed the drivers. But when i attempted to reinstall the nvidia-glx-195 i would get an error about broken packages. (the 195 and 190 drivers and any mention of them have since disappeared from my sources list. :confused: ) So i back tracked it to this
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-96: Depends: dkms but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
I also tried installing the drivers manually and their installer said it was successful but it failed.
Can anyone help?
2. Apt-get is going apt-insane
In my attempt to get my audio working i removed pulseaudio. But when i tried to reinstall them i get these messages.
Package pulseaudio is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package pulseaudio has no installation candidate
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and i got the same message:
Package ubuntu-desktop is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ubuntu-desktop has no installation candidate
I've tried several other things and apt-get seems to just be bugging out for some reason. Can anyone help?
EDIT: Got it working. Had to grab another person who is using 10.04 sources.list
