    Hi guys,
    This is an excellent tutorial. but i’m getting some problem on my ubuntu box. i have just installed ubuntu 8.04. and I’m getting following error

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    beryl-settings-bindings: Depends: python (< 2.5) but 2.5.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed

    Ubuntu 8.04 has python 2.5.2 installed by default. Now how do i downgrade my python version. and i have one more doubt. If i do so, it may brake my existing package, may be based upon python 2.5.

    Any reliable sulution.

    Hi,

    I am stuck at the part where I need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list file, when I enter sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list it comes up with an error:

    E325: ATTENTION
    Found a swap file by the name “/etc/apt/.sources.list.swp”
    owned by: root dated: Mon Mar 16 17:10:36 2009
    file name: /etc/apt/sources.list
    modified: YES
    user name: root host name: ubuntu
    process ID: 7277
    While opening file “/etc/apt/sources.list”
    dated: Mon Mar 16 11:15:21 2009

    (1) Another program may be editing the same file.
    If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
    different instances of the same file when making changes.
    Quit, or continue with caution.

    (2) An edit session for this file crashed.
    If this is the case, use “:recover” or “vim -r /etc/apt/sources.list”
    to recover the changes (see “:help recovery”).
    If you did this already, delete the swap file “/etc/apt/.sources.list.swp”
    to avoid this message.
    “/etc/apt/sources.list” 59 lines, 3402 characters

    when I hit enter it comes up with something but I am not sure how to add anything to it? What am I doing wrong?

    Some help would be greatly appreciated

  12. admin says:

    try to do the following command

    sudo rm /etc/apt/.sources.list.swp

    Now you try to edit your file and check
