I was able to recover a Gnome installation with the following: * Reboot to the broken installation, and SSH in.
* Install scrollkeeper (probably unnecessary). This forced removal of rarian and a lot of Gnome. * Purge all of scrollkeeper (aptitude purge ...). * Install rarian-compat. * Install ubuntu-desktop. Can take a while. -- failed to upgrade : "update-xmlcatalog: error: entity already registered" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
