Hi all, The short story: after too much messing around with my Slimserver installation on Ubuntu Dapper, it will let me neither install or remove the slimserver package.
$ sudo apt-get remove slimserver Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Package slimserver is not installed, so not removed 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. $ sudo apt-get install slimserver Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Package slimserver is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package slimserver has no installation candidate The long story: I first installed Slimserver 6.5b1 on Ubuntu Breezy using the deb package, all went fine. When the problem with empty left panel appeared (as reported in http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=113156), I decided to wait for a post confirming that the problem was fixed. In the mean time, I upgraded my system to Dapper. Then I got impatient and decided to try to get a stable 6.2.2 running. First I tried Alien on the RPM, but failed, then I downloaded the sources and after a bit of fiddling I got it working. Two days ago I came across a post announcing a stable 6.5b1 deb, but installing it gave the above error. Moreover, my source perl installation stopped working too. Does anyone know how I can start from a clean slate again? Thanks a lot, Greg -- gdude ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5615 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24989 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
