Package: rhythmbox Version: 0.11.6-1 If you do "apt-get install rhythmbox" on a Lenny box with KDE installed it will basically install a gnome desktop and replace the KDE desktop for all users on the system. This caused my wife to nearly kill me yesterday because she has gotten used to KDE and doesn't know how to use gnome, and various bits of her "new" desktop were broken anyway.
However if you do "apt-get install --no-install-recommends rhythmbox" then the program will install and run correctly without trampling all over KDE. in my package manager looking at rhythmbox I see this recommends scrollkeeper, yelp, avahi-daemon, sound-juicer, gnome-volume-manager, hal, notification-daemon, gnome-control-center (>= 2.15.90), libgnomevfs2-extra, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gnome-app-install, python-gst0.10 I think that the problem is probably gnome-control-center but I'm sorry I know little about gnome. As the default option appears to be to install all "recommends" it seems to me a bit dangerous to put something in there that will trash all kde desktops on the system if it isn't really necessary. to reproduce problem do a minimum lenny install then "apt-get install xorg kdm kde alsa-base alsa-utils" once it's all finished and working do "apt-get install rhythmbox" thanks, Philip -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
