Think you can fix it?

Thanks

You need to install the dependencies that are listed on your screen before you can install the packages with dpkg. You could try 'apt-get -f install' (with no packages named) and see if that installs what's needed. Otherwise, you could install the refracta packages with gdebi.
Code:
gdebi refractasnapshot-base_9.0.6_all.deb
and that will pull in the dependencies automatically.

or
Code:
apt-get install live-boot live-config live-boot-initramfs-tools live-config-upstart

NOTE: Replace 'live-config-upstart' with 'live-config-sysvinit' if you're using systemV instead of upstart. I'm not sure which was used in ubuntu-10.04.

Hi all

With Refracta installer Livecd, is possible choice filesystem ext2 instead ext3? :shock:


Thanks :)

Yes, you can choose ext2, ext3 or ext4 in the expert install. It'll ask you what type of filesystem you want after it asks which partition to use.

No more Rebutnu?

Last night, I downloaded Ubuntu 12.10 and fired up the iso in virtualbox. When I tried installing the debs for refracta installer and snapshot, I ran into some problems. The installer debs installed ok, and 'apt-get -f install' added the missing dependencies, but snapshot would not install. It seems that live-config, live-boot, live-config-upstart and any other packages that begin with "live-" are not in the ubuntu repositories, with the exception of live-build, which is not needed for refractasnapshot.

I ran the installer, and it looked like it was working correctly, but the 4GB virtual hard drive got full before the install finished. I'm inclined not to do any more testing with ubuntu, because of other problems, such as the 1-second delay between when I click and when the button I'm clicking begins to respond, and the long delay before anything useful happens. And what's with the windows that slowly fade in and out when they open and close? I noticed that on kde in wheezy, too. Is that supposed to be camouflage for the slow response?(Note: wheezy kde was a little slow, but tolerable. Ubuntu's slowness made me want to kill someone.)

Ubuntu itself is enough to drive one mad with or without the slowness.
