| 854311 | 2010-02-02 02:34:00 | Can you look at the bottom of the synaptic window and see if it lists any broken packages? | KarameaDave (15222) | ||

| 854314 | 2010-02-02 02:39:00 | I'm sorry Joe, I am going to have to suggest that either someone else on here with more knowledge than me tries to help or you go to the PCLinuxOS Forums and try there, my system works and I am no expert and I think that's what you need at this point. www.pclinuxos.com |

As it is right now - and I still like PCLOS - those Linux forums are very unfriendly to underlings and there's a total "clique" that won't help nor let you in on their secret handshake. |

| 854316 | 2010-02-02 03:02:00 | I see, haven't been there myself. Have you got one or more than one repository enabled? You could just try upgrading Firefox for now and see if it will do that My synaptic doesn't list KDE4 packages at all you see. |

| 854317 | 2010-02-02 03:16:00 | Are any of these Linux User Groups nearby to you? www.linux.org it may be easier to go along to one of them for some basic know-how face to face. |

You could just try upgrading Firefox for now and see if it will do that My synaptic doesn't list KDE4 packages at all you see. I tried multiple and singular repositories - but they all fail in one way or another. Right now I am running Firefox 2.0.0.3, and I know it's outdated. So - a few months ago I went and got a Firefox update -= but it's a tarball.bz. --> firefox-3.5.6(7).tar.bz2 -------and that's where all this update request started - but like I said - it's a purely vertical learning curve if no-one wants to teach one how to do it. All I get is jargon and cryptic answers. I've said it b4 - Linux geeks /are just unfriendly. I appreciate your help - as I know I pushed the envelop hard and you were being dragged into unfamiliar territory by me - my bad. So you have been a godsend. UN-fortunately my experience with L-things is so totally limited that I doubt seriously that I'll ever be anything more than a web-surfer with it, as it's insides are mysterious and full of beasties and dragons. I went to the Lake Elsinore group a couple of times - but obviously my ineptness and all the questions I asked marked me as someone unfit for enlightenment. Too bad for them as I was gonna buy the whole group (22 members that night) coffee and Danish at a Starbucks for them afterwards. They lost, I feel - not me. |

| 854319 | 2010-02-02 05:09:00 | So none of the repositories work? Did you try the one I mentioned earlier? The Freebsd one. This is strange as it works OK here. is the computer connected to the internet? (stupid question I know but I have to ask) |

| 854320 | 2010-02-02 05:49:00 | If you want / need to upgrade or install anything, just use Synaptic (if you don't like apt-get). If you have the patience to do the upgrades one at a time, things go much easier than via the tarball route, also if you DO strike any grief, the messages do not come so thick and fast, and they tend to make more sense if there is only a single upgrade going on. |
