Installing "lcdproc" in FileServer Package
Hello,
yesterday i started the first installation of the file server package and i have to say that this package is very nice. After installing and making the first tests, i wanted to install a new module:
the "lcdproc" addon to show system informations on a lcd display
I tried to use the APT manager, but while installing the module i get an error, that some dependencies are not installed.
Is here anyone, who have installed this package without problems and could give me some informations?
Regards,
hahni

Reply 1Looks like you need to enable the Universe repo
Reply 2I'm not familiar with that module, but a quick look on Ubuntu Package Search (scroll down to 'search package directories' > select 'lucid' from the distro drop down and click search) shows that the dependancy the install is complaining about should be available via the universe repository (see here - note '[universe]' after the title of the package).
So to enable that repo using the commandline (probably possible via Webmin but I don't know how OTTOMH):
nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/source.list
And remove the '#' from the start of the lines that end in 'universe'; save and exit (<Ctrl><X>). Then update your package lists (apt-get update) and try again.
i will try it and quickly
Reply 3i will try it and quickly wrote my feedback here. thanks a lot
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of lcdproc: lcdproc depends on libg15daemon-client1; however: Package libg15daemon-client1 is not installed. lcdproc depends on libg15render1; however: Package libg15render1 is not installed. dpkg: error processing lcdproc (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: lcdproc Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... lcdproc is already the newest version. You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: lcdproc: Depends: libg15daemon-client1 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libg15render1 but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)... install failed!
