Lately whenever I use Synaptic Package Manager to install anything I
usually get this feedback:
I seem to have some kind of kdm problem. I wonder what this is & whatCode:Selecting previously deselected package kdebase. (Reading database ... 127539 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking kdebase (from .../kdebase_4%3a3.1.4-1_all.deb) ...

I can do about it.

Thanks for your reply. If this is the answer I don't understand it:

Easy enough now that I have seen the patch open a console window (clam shell Icon on the task bar) then su then enter key type in the root password and enter again you are now root. Now gvim /var/lib/dpkg/info/kdm.config to open the file needed for editing and go down to line 50 and add the || true to the end of the line seperated by a space from the last word and do the same on line 51 and save the file. Now apt-get install --reinstall kdm and it should reinstall with no problems at least it did here. I did get a warning "head: -1: invalid number of lines" but I think that is because I changed the file. The "||" in the || true are two pipe characters they are located on my keyboard above the "\" backslash key so use SHIFT+\ and you get the character.Originally Posted by Max

Thank you very much. Now I just wish I knew what this meant:Code:Update finished - You can close the window now
MaxCode:Debian Configuration Configuring mdadm WARNING! Zero the superblock if you reuse hard disks. WARNING! If you are using hard disks which have a md superblock from an earlier installation, you MUST zero the superblock before activating the autostart feature, Answer 'No' to the next question and zero the superblock (mdadm --zero- superblock /dev/xxx), You can then use 'dpkg-reconfigure mdadm' to activate the autostart feature.
That is the RAID tool mdadm asking you a question it looks like it is not going to autostart but you should remove the package mdadm with either apt-get remove --purge mdadm or synaptic if you are not using a RAID on the system.Originally Posted by Max
Removed mdadm with Synaptic. Thanks for all your help.
