unable to install gnome

  • 772

Hey! I have ubuntu server 10.10. I am trying to install gui. I have installed these packages: xserver-xorg xinit

I tried installing gnome but I always get this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnome : Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (>= 1:2.28+1ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed Depends: epiphany-extensions but it is not going to be installed

I can't seem to find the epiphany-extensions. This is my source.list file:

What can I do to correct this? How can I find a source url that has the package I need??

gnome server dependencies

  1. If you what you want is basic GNOME, you probably should try:

    sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment --no-install-recommends

    IF you want a desktop just like you would have if you installed the Desktop Edition, try:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

  2. If the instructions by Leon Nardella does not work, you could try to use a different server in sources.list.
