Accidentally damaged my freshly installed Ubuntu desktop: remove UbuntuStudio-desktop
OMG -now!- you wont believe what IVE DONE!!!?
ok, I reinstalled my whole OS today, took me 5 hrs to back up, reinstall, unpack the backups, install all my programs, remake my playlists, etcetcetc
Sooo, after all of that like a big dummy, I did this:
http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2014/02...or-ubuntu.html
That what I did was add UbuntuStudio-Desktop flavor to my computer, but my system is now faulty.
Getting error, etc, when I restart, volume not displaying correctly, and BIG RED circle at the top with a white line down the middle.
Code:
An error occured, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in the terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount > 0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies
Ugh, is there ANYWAY, I can fix this without having to reinstall my whole OS again?
Im running Ubuntu 13.10. I believe the link I used was for UbuntuStudio 14.04.
My MoBo is UEFI no secure boot, so I am forced to use Ubuntu 13.10 as of now. Making GPT is too advanced for me I have to do it manually.
This is the best info Ive found to remove UbuntuStudio
http://askubuntu.com/questions/18642...esktop-package
But it did not work for me. It tells me it is not installed but as soon as I installed many of the packages there was an error, and now my computer is getting errors as the one I posted above says.
...
When I post "apt-get" there is literally no useful information, and I do not see Package Manager right-clicking the desktop.
Please please please can anyone save me from another marathon reinstalling and etcetc please? |

EDIT (discard this post - read posts below)..
Sources.list is a file not a folder and opens up Software Manager... nothing where I see code..
...
...
...
Apparently "sources.list" should look something like this:
(Provided in the link above.)
Code:
# sources.list
#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 13.10 _Saucy Salamander_ - Release i386 (20131016.1)]/ saucy main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy main restricted
deb-src http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy main restricted
#...
...
...
This link explains how to open "sources.list" but I am not advanced enough to completely understand :/
http://blog.ubuntu-tweak.com/guide/h...rce-list-files
My results from their intructions:
"$ deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy main restricted"
Quote:
No command 'deb' found, did you mean:
Command 'derb' from package 'libicu-dev' (main)
Command 'dwb' from package 'dwb' (universe)
Command 'debi' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'xdeb' from package 'xdeb' (universe)
Command 'debc' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'dab' from package 'bsdgames' (universe)
deb: command not found

We'll need yours.

EDIT: It is missing^^

Ahh, (quote below is the issue of missing Sources.list).
That makes sense, but will I lose my added repositories? Do I have added repositories?

Note: If you have lost and want to recreate your /etc/apt/sources.list file, please use the Ubuntu Source Generator, with the appropriate choices. Warning: any custom repositories you added to your old sources.list (but not PPAs) will be lost.

but it only opens up this: Software Updater

In the post #7 it shows that you have a sources.list
Quote:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

The above is quoted from one of your earlier posts and if you go to the Ubuntu site below, you will see why you are having problems. 13.10 support ended in July, 2014. The standard methods of updating with apt-get and the Software Center won't work as you will need to try to find archives if there are any. Best to either install 12.04 or 14.04 and bookmark the site below so you know how long each version is supported.

Yes but I cannot use 12.04 or 14.04 because my UEFI system does not have Secure Boot option so I cannot boot anything without Microsoft key, which 12.04 used to have but no longer will it install. I did try yesterday when reinstalling 13.10.
I was having ZERO problems until the exact moment I tried installing UbuntuStudio-desktop. Which I believe was UbuntuStudio-desktop 14.04.. Maybe its the 14.04 flavor that is the problem, but the system runs fine until I did that and I would just like to get back before the error occured without having to completely reinstall and do everything over. I mean it took me literally 5 hrs to get done and I really do not want to go through that all over again....! Isnt there a way to just erase the UbuntuStudio-desktop flavor comletely as the system was before it was there? |
