Ubuntu Installation :: OpenOffice And QuickStarter - Broken Packages

Feb 5, 2011

Update Manager tells me it has updates. So I close what I am doing with VirtualBox and a Windows Client and I tell the Update Manager to go ahead. But it stops, says I've got OpenOffice and QuickStarter both running. Not so, at last not to my knowledge. I try again, and it tells me I have a broken package, and to use the 'Broken' filter to find it. Where is the 'Broken' filter? And even if I work that out, what should I do about a "broken" package? So I look online. Only references to "Broken" packages are with respect to Windows. Windows is a shut down client, and VirtualBox has been shut down.

So I try the recovery mode on a reboot. This reports I have 15 broken packages, all to do with OpenOffice. I select Fix Broken Packages, and it keep stopping to tell me that OpenOffice and QuickStarter are both running, and I need to deal with that. How? A restart and effort to fix broken packages did no good. I look online again, and this time I run down where someone writes you can follow a link, and what you get there will do the trick. Only the link goes nowhere, so it has been moved or deleted.

Ubuntu :: OpenOffice.org Quickstarter Prevents Shutdown?

Jun 18, 2010

Since installing Lucid, I find that the shutdown button doesn't work (does nothing) if the OpenOffice.org quickstarter is running. To shutdown I either have to kill the quickstarter or run shutdown manually from a terminal window. Hibernation doesn't work either, although suspension does.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - OpenOffice QuickStarter Icon (Old Image)

Sep 25, 2010

The OpenOffice Quickstarter icon in the system tray for Ubuntu 10.04 is an old image and does not fit in with the default theme (light grey background). In fact, the same icon used for the Windows version is at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/openofficeorg3-startcenter.png. Where the quickstarter getting this misfitting icon? Perhaps I could simply copy the icon above to the location and file name used by quickstarter.

I've been trying to fix this problem for quite a few days now and have done a lot of searching on these forums, Linux Mint Forums and some others Google lead me to and have has some success, but am now stuck.I have posted a thread on this same topic on the Linux Mint Forums, but have had no success (if you want check it out at:URL...Originally I received error messages when trying to update involving certain repositories which couldn't be accessed (because they either didn't exist or had been moved) and I hunted these down and changed or removed them.

Ubuntu Installation :: Broken Packages In Synaptic

May 7, 2010

During my recent upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04, I got a few error messages concerning the flashplugin-nonfree not installing correctly. A user named carlee helped me get flash working over on the absolute beginner forum, but I've got a related problem still unresolved.Update manager is convinced that my perfectly working flash installation is broken, and insists I update it.However, the update fails every time, telling me E: flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.

Opening synaptic, I cannot select the reinstall option for the plugin. Removal and complete removal are my only options, and both give the above error. More problematic, I cannot de-select the flash plugin entirely. It MUST be part of any other package update through synaptic (if I wanted to re-install avant window navigator, for example). And since the flash removal operation fails, synaptic is effectively non-operational.How can I convince my update manager that my fully operational flash is just fine the way it is?

Ubuntu Installation :: Remove Broken Packages Only Without Affecting Others?

Jun 3, 2011

I was installing some packages using the generate download script in synaptic and 'sudo dpkg -i -R ...' because I don't have my own internet connection at home but somewhere else. I think I got carried away a little and installed some packages that have some dependency issues. Now I have three broken packages that need to be removed, but I don't want them to affect (remove) other packages which would be marked whenever I try to mark them for removal, for fear that their removal might affect other functions. I think my machine was just fine before I started to fumble with individual dependencies; that's why I don't what the other dependencies removed. My question is how do I remove those dependencies only using the terminal without removing the others?

Debian Installation :: Mixed Wheezy With Sid Now Have Broken Packages

May 6, 2015

Without knowing the consequences I added the Sid repository to Wheezy (installed version) in order to install some software. Only much later I discovered that this generated me some mess which does not allow now to install additional software due to library conflicts.

I tried to install some packages needed to build the PhantomJS but here is what I got:

Code: Select allReading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
build-essential is already the newest version.
g++ is already the newest version.
g++ set to manually installed.

[Code] ....

Is there a way to clean up the mess that Sid introduced and revert back to the Wheezy versions?

I have an old backup, so it would take me much more time to reinstall/reconfigure certain software, so I am looking to alternatives.

Is there a way to check all the packages and find all the potential conflicts and then a way to restore the original Wheezy content?

Software :: OpenOffice.org Broken - Can't Access My Spreadsheets

Nov 23, 2010

I installed OOo on Slackware linux 13.1 recently. It worked fine until yesterday when I tried to open up an xls file which I often use, and I was presented with a "filter" dialogue with loads of options but no explanation what they were for. I tried several of them but nothing seemed to make any difference - the file was unopenable. I found a suggestion online that I should try to delete my configuration file ~/.openoffice, which I did. Unfortunately now whenever I open OOo I get a smaller dialogue box with some gibberish in it. It's some crazy wingdings font or something, and I have no idea what it's trying to tell me.

Anyway now I can't access any of my files. I have tried reinstalling OOo and deleting my config file again, neither does anything - i'm always getting the nonsense dialogue box. I have even installed OOo on a virtual WinXP and the same happened there (the 'filter' dialogue not the gibberish font)Has OOo somehow managed to corrupt ALL my files?

Ubuntu Installation :: Erasing Packages - Getting "Software Index Is Broken"

Jan 31, 2010

I was going to install a certain application, and apt-get said I had unsatisfied dependencies. So I typed

Code: sudo apt-get install -f

But the overall size of the packages it was going to install was quite substantial, so I renounced this idea and chose "No". Now I've got problems installing software - I keep getting "Software index is broken" message. I found this thread which suggests I use 'apt-get install -f'. But as I've said, the problem is that I no longer need those tons of packages that would be installed in this case. Is there a way to erase the list of packages marked for installation or maybe there's some other way to fix that?

Debian Multimedia :: OpenOffice Font Anti Aliasing Broken After Upgrade To Lenny

Sep 14, 2010

I'm trying to upgrade a headless terminal server like box from Etch to Lenny. Users log in to this box using a GoGlobal client and use applications such as OpenOffice and Iceweasel. Because of the ended support for Etch we want to upgrade this machine to Debian Lenny as soon as possible and in order to save time we decided to dist-upgrade instead of installing a new machine. I've done this upgrade in a test environment and everything is working as expected except for OpenOffice, which seems broken after the upgrade:

The problem seems to be caused by the anti aliasing features of OpenOffice and disabling these features in the options panel (Extra -> Options -> OpenOffice.org View -> Screen font anti aliasing) fixes the UI somewhat:

However, as can be seen in the last screenshot, disabling anti aliasing makes the whole thing look terrible. I've searches the net for solutions such as this one but so far I've not been able to fix this. Is there anyone who can point me towards what has changed in the way fonts are rendered since Lenny and what might cause this breakage for OpenOffice? Other applications such as Iceweasel work perfectly and look better then before.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Remove Broken Packages / Fix It?

Jul 6, 2010

Last night I was installing gbrainy and while it was installing I started a fullscreen game on accident. Fullscreen games cause crashes on my intel integrated graphics (an unrelated issue) and while gbrainy was in the process of installing my computer crashed. So I had to restart. When I restarted I knew I would see broken packages so I did code...

I've tried just about everything to resolve the broken packages but I can't fix them. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?

Ubuntu :: Following Packages Are Broken - Libmagick10

Jan 15, 2010

I've been getting the following for a few weeks now.

Code:
The following packages are BROKEN:
libmagick10
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 4027kB of archives. After unpacking 65.5kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmagick10: Depends: libdjvulibre21 (>= 3.5.20) which is a virtual package.
Depends: libgraphviz4 (>= 2.20.0) but 2.16-3ubuntu2 is installed.
Depends: libopenexr6 (>= 1.6.1) which is a virtual package.
Running Kubuntu (Hardy Heron, KDE 3.5.10)

I've tried following the suggestion aptitude offered of downgrading it, but it didn't help. I've tried removing it altogether, but some slightly important packages need it (e.g. kubuntu-desktop or dolphin). I've tried installing the missing dependencies, but they weren't in the repository.
