greetings all,
I made a booboo.
I was attempting to install firefox3 and upgrade from orca2.20.0 to orca2.21.4
on my new installation of ubuntu gutsy gibbon. my ubuntu machine is not
connected to the internet so I had to track downa mess of deb files and carry
them over. I'm not sure what happened, I must have missed one. Ubuntu told me
I couldn't install firefox; then I got a message that I had an unresolved
broken package on my system. Ubuntu recommended "sudo apt-get install -f". I
did this, and now when I login, an error message pops up saying at-spi is being
requested, but can't be found (I got this from sighted assistance).
I tried to clan out the folder whre I stored teh deb files then did "sudo
apt-get clean". I made sure the ubuntu CD was in the tray and did "sudo ap-get
update".
Now I can't get orca to install. Ubuntu says at-spi can't install because it
needs gnome-mag and gnome-mag is uninstallable possibly because it's an
impossible configuration.
My next step was to try and re-install ubuntu, but I can't figure out how to
install only over the existing ubuntu partitian. When I installed the first
time, I had ubuntu partitian my windowsXP harddrive and only use two-thirds.
Now when I go to the live cd I can use the entire 32 gigs of the harddrive or
if I chose the next option down, there's a slider bar and when I slide it to
100% it says something like 8 gigs. To e it sounds like t's trying to add
another partitian along side my broken ubuntu installation.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get orca up and running again; short of
wiping the disk and starting from scratch (yes I have everything backed up, I
could do it; it just feels to much like giving up to me)?
Thank you
-Paul
