cannot use apt-get anymore

nicbit · 03-21-2014, 08:43 PM

Today I received that god forsaken message "you have 350 mB left" from kali; in my infinite wisdom, I decided to run

Code:

sudo apt-get autoremove

to remove ~250 mB... Unfortunately I was using gnome... My compute decided it was high time to make my life hell, and uninstalled gnome

and network-manager

. I proceeded to spend the next several hours attempting to dig up a linux live cd. After it FINALLY loaded, I decided to chroot into my kali system and attempt to install gnome again. Unfortunately, when I booted up into Kali, it lacked wifi access

but at least had the GUI. So, I started up the CD drive again and booted into ubuntu... Upon entering I chrooted into Kali again, but, when I attempted to install network-manager, I was presented by a daunting message... To understand why this message occurred you must know that earlier today, again in my most infinite of wisdom, decided, due to the EXTREME differences between Iceweasel and firefox such as ..., to uninstall iceweasel and install the ubuntu version of firefox (of course) in my debian system. This daunting error message complained about iceweasel and firefox contradicting each other, as one stated my system was Ubuntu, and the other stated it was Debian (which I thought were extremely related to each other). I, in due time (2 hrs) fixed this problem by uninstalling firefox using dpkg among other things... After this, I decided to, again my my most infinite wisdom, reinstall gnome. Unfortunately I have been presented with the same error over and over again. Below is the error message when I now run

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnome

thanks in advance!
TL;DR Version:
I keep on getting the following error when I attempt to use apt-get:

Code:

insserv: Starting netglub-master depends on rmnologin and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!

Try as sudo or root terminal

Code:

apt-get clean

then

Code:

apt-get update

then

Code:

apt-get -f install

Because I have kinda sorta been through worse

Though if apt-get is broken because of a inserv warning.

It's been years since I dealt with that.

I probably use different script tools than you do in Kali.
You might be better off using the live cd to grab what you can keep and reinstall Kali.
It'll probably be less time consuming. I oughta know. I break stuff on a regular basis.
It is how I learn.

PS

Ya wanna google

Quote:

Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

instead for Kali I guess. That is the real important error message.

Unfortently, I still keep on getting the same error

Not sure how desperate you are since you got no joy at Linuxforumsorg with the same post.

I know my 1st link is 4 pages long but I go into great detail on the last post on how I decided to risk all and install aptitude and wajig along side with apt-get and read the man pages on wajig before fixing my errors on installing. This while running Debian Sid repos though.

But, it is your call. All I know is mine still works without a re-install yet.
Maybe I'll take a stab at getting wallpaper.py to work instead of wallpaper.sh
in the control center with Daves suggestion.

Why don't you just get a bigger drive so you don't get the "you have 350 mB left" messages any more and you won't have to use dangerous commands like "apt-get autoremove"? Hard drives are extremely cheap these days (less than $100 for 1TB) and you could have saved yourself a lot of time/aggravation.
