So what if I, possibly, theoretically, by being an impossible noob at computers, managed to fuck up my version of windows, and be out of money at the same time. Then did a wubi install of ubuntu 11.10. And THEN updated to 12.04. Managed to fuck that up, and now nothing works. I can't even install new packages (even though I'm on linux right now).
What works:
-Booting, I can get into Linux, go on the interwebz, no problem.
What doesn't:
-Some packages, And I can't install any new ones, also many packages that should be installed automatically seem to be absent. (Like gparted for instance).
As I said, I'm on a wubi install, I don't know if formatting would work/be a good idea. I also don't have a working cd reader, so any new installation would have to be via USB. I'm all outta money too. Would appreciate help. |

| So basically you just installed several OS on one computer? |

| So... what did you do to fuck up your OS(s) and what's wrong with reinstalling Ubuntu? You've got to be getting some kind of errors to post as well. I'm not sure what kind of help you want specifically. You haven't asked a single request or given us any useful information. |

| What happens when you try to install a new package? Can you give me the error when you install something? |

Seriously, how do you expect us to solve the problem with you don't provide any error message?

| Updating usually works like a charm with Ubuntu. Did you do something special before everything got "fucked up" ? |

What errors are you getting.
I had an issue that is consistent, but without error messages I can't help.Last edit: 2012-07-07 09:57:49 |

The error message I get when I try to install gparted:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

I don't know what to do. I'm on a wubi install of Ubuntu 12.04 (Which means it's in the same partition as windows or something.) After looking it up, apparently, 11.10 supported wubi installs, but 12.04 does not, however, downgrading seems nearly impossible, remember it's Ubuntu and for support, ubuntu sucks. |

One of the packages from a previous install (wine1.5) seems to be corrupted and didn't install correctly, messing up the package structure of your ubuntu.
You should try 'sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get -f install' to replace the corrupted files and hopefully fix your problem.
If it doesn't work, remove wine1.5 altogether for now (sudo apt-get remove wine1.5). You probably shouldn't be using the experimental wine1.5 if you're not familiar with ubuntu anyway, stick with the stable wine1.4 and save yourself a lot of time. |

This is true. It also seems as you have installed software from an non-standard repository or you added a special repository for gparted. If so delete the repo-urls from /etc/sources.list and run "sudo apt-get update". When you install solely from the default repositories those "but is not going to be installed"-errors are very unlikely.

On another note, did you ever have wine correctly installed -- did you get SC2 running? And what's that you need GParted for? I thought it was a weird ubuntu name for GNU parted first, which is a really easy command line based partition editor, which I'd assume have all the same capabilities as GParted.
I'm inclined to believe, as posted above, that you're having a repository conflict, and that you ran add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa at some point. Maybe some modification was done to the wine repository through the update.Last edit: 2012-07-08 09:03:07 |
