Automatix

[Mr Bigman]

I keep getting errors when installing stuff form Automatix.

For example trying to install wine or even google earth and it says there is a problem: A pre based error has ocurred.

What would be cuaing these errors? All im trying to to do is install apps from Automatix.

I have Ubuntu ultimate installed 1.04 and i check for broken packages but nothing.

Is there something im not doing right?

I'm sorry this post doesn't solve your problem, but I just wanted to inform you that Automatix is not a very nice piece of software:

BTW, what makes you think your Automatix-problem is NVIDIA-related? Is there any error messages about NVIDIA?

Good luck finding the source of your problem! (most certainly Automatix itself), and again I'm sorry I couldn't present you a solution..

I didn't cath the general linux choice when looking for this topic. My Bad.

I get stuff like missing and error occured.

I just want to run these apps and use wine but its not installing through automatix.

Agreed. I tried it once and dumped it.

Apt is more than enough for my needs, and a little googling will usually turn up a repository for any app I may want.

Your better off doing it the tried and true way Bigman.

Ive been reading its not all that great.

I like a one stop downlload area for all i need for Ubuntu.

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu and when i go into Automatix, i still get errors when trying to install Google earth and dvd ripper.

Did you enable all the repositories and try synaptic?

If it's not in Ubuntu's try this.

full instructions are there, and if you don't like vi as an editor, try gedit or nano.
