Instead of creating a .sh script you can just install kmenugnome for KDE (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=31025).
It will create a submenu for the GNOME applications - really nice and useful.
apt-get install netspeed
# synful.info 18:00:53 yeah the fact taht something else breaks because you installed some other software is annoying
# Taggy 18:01:34 yeah ! but ubuntu can help fixing them by sudo apt-get -f install
Hi,
there is a debian package available from the same page. just download it and install using "dpkg -i kmenu-gnome_0.5-1_all.deb" . Ubuntu is based on Debian, so all debian packages can be installed on it. aptitude itself is the debian package manager. Anyway the link is
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/search.php?search=1&name=k%20menu%20gnome
. Make sure you download the deb package. As an aside, you can also install rpms on Ubuntu too, just install rpm-build package using apt-get, and you can use rpm from command line. You dont need that script anyway once you install kmenu-gnome.
For your last problem, you can try apt-get clean/purge. The problem is that your last package install did not complete and apt goes berserk after that.
build-essential is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
If you remember the package name you installed before build-essential, just reinstall it again, that should work. It may be due to reverse dependency too, which is when you install package A and B was installed as a dependency of A, removing it will remove B too but if package C requires B too, you get a failed dependency problem. Long story short, did you uninstall anything?
