Re: [LUG] Recipes of Ubuntu

 

Hi

I keep getting these errors whilst trying to install Cinnamon:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
Âcinnamon : Depends: nemo (>= 3.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Rich

I am confused here

Are you now running Lubuntu or are you running linux mint - cinnamon or
are you trying to install cinnamon DE on to Lubuntu, ?

Mint just works for the most part, and there is a additional drivers
application that will enable / disable any 3rd party drivers that are
non free. This is handy if say for example the video drivers start
causing issues you can install different drivers,

a good reason to have openssh-server enabled means if there are issues
you can ssh in with X forwarding (read man page on how to do this) and
try and fix from there.
