sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-session-flashback
That worked and I was able to edit it too. But, I got this in terminal
Code:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:/var/cache/apt/archives$ editdeb '/var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb'
** (gedit:2918): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-TXTT1FsTwZ: Connection refused
Not modfied.
I had to "save as" gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb in my home directory.
Then trying to install the deb I got this:
Code:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ sudo dpkg -i gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb
dpkg-deb: error: `gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb' is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$
Thinking is is a permissions or ownership issue I chmod and chown them to be the same root:
Code:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb /home/cavsfan/gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1271 Aug 3 14:43 /home/cavsfan/gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71026 Jun 21 00:35 /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-session-flashback_1%3a3.6.2-0ubuntu11_all.deb
Yet I still get the same error.
Thanks for you help and patience!
