apt-get install command

[raac]

Hello guys, I have kubuntu 10.10 and I tried to install a driver for wireless card with the apt-get install command and did not work (firmwireb43....) anyway, I got my wireless to work afterwards, but now everytime that I install something through apt-get install command, it would install the program and then show the same errors from the previous installation attempt, how can I make it not to show anymore???


When I install kwrite, it'd show this (I'm installing it for the second time, I did this so you can see the error at the end)...

sudo apt-get install kwrite

//No matter what I installed it'd show the same errors at the end (firmware-b43-installer)

//By the way, I'm still learning linux...I just want it to dissapear

Thanks

give this a try

sudo aptitude autoclean
sudo aptitude clean

[raac]

I'm not sure if I did it right. I did this....

sudo aptitude autoclean
[sudo] password for tony:
sudo: aptitude: command not found


sudo aptitude clean
sudo: aptitude: command not found


What am I doing wrong?

try using

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove

[raac]

This was my output....

Thanks again

firmware-b43-installer has been causing problems for many users recently. Most of them solved by removing it completely.

sudo apt-get remove --purge firmware-b43-installer

Nothing. Aptitude is not installed by default in 10.10. You can safely substitute 'apt-get' for 'aptitude' in the above commands.

Thank you so much guys

the command

sudo apt-get remove --purge firmware-b43-installer
fixed my problem

just realized i like using aptitude over apt-get =P and for that to work you would 1st need to install aptitude ..mental note, use apt-get when replying to post on here!
