Re: [libreoffice-users] 3.4 install errors

Hi :)
Good point.  I hadn't noticed Xubuntu in large friendly letters at the top but 
just noticed the tiny mention of "winamp" which i didn't think worked even using 
Wine.  


Xubuntu has a boot-menu that includes 2 lines for each kernel.  The 2nd ones 
have "recovery mode" at the end of their line.  Choosing that option should get 
you to a disturbingly blue screen of helpful things like "fix broken packages", 
"clear some space" and finally "continue with normal reboot".  


You could also try accessing the "Fix broken packages" through Synaptic
Applications(?) - System - Administration - Synaptic
and then look in Synaptic's "Edit" menu.

There might also be a "Computer Janitor" or "Janitor" somewhere above Synaptic 
in the same menu that should do about the same as "Clear some space".

Regards from
Tom :)
