I always said kde was like vista, a big bloated POS
KCalc wants 100 megs of space!
Take a look at this:
I was expecting to download a megabyte tops.Code:root@bt:~# apt-get install kcalc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

What's up with it?!
Ask questions on the open forums, that way everybody benefits from the solution, and everybody can be corrected when they make mistakes. Don't send me private messages asking questions that should be asked on the open forums, I won't respond. I decline all "Friend Requests".

Since Kate, KTip, KJobViewer, etc., are already installed and running fine, I would have thought that KCalc already had all the stuff it needed.
I wonder would it be a case of apt-get being incorrectly configured and not knowing exactly what's already installed on BT4? Possibly. . . ?
I'm gonna get a copy of the KCalc binary from somewhere and see if it runs on BT4 without installing 100 megs of crap. My guess is that it will work.

You did t read this...
apt-get install kcalc-kde3
The best information security training, period.
Thanks for that.
...but something really funky's going on. Firstly I do the following:
OK so that appeared to work fine.Code:root@bt:~# apt-get install kcalc-kde3 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: kcalc-kde3 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 139 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/202kB of archives. After this operation, 754kB of additional disk space will be used. WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! kcalc-kde3 Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y Selecting previously deselected package kcalc-kde3. (Reading database ... 130776 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking kcalc-kde3 (from .../kcalc-kde3_4%3a3.5.10-0ubuntu1~intrepid4_i386.deb ) ... Processing triggers for menu ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Setting up kcalc-kde3 (4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~intrepid4) ... Processing triggers for menu ... root@bt:~#
Next I do the following:
So of course, my next thought is to do:Code:root@bt:~# kcalc & [1] 6474 root@bt:~# The program 'kcalc' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install kcalc bash: kcalc: command not found
...at which point the terminal abruptly disappears without a trace. So I open a new terminal and type kcalc-kde3 again, but again the terminal disappears. I try it a third time and get this:Code:kcalc-kde3 &
So then as a last resort I do the both of these and get no response:Code:root@bt:~# kcalc-kde3 & [1] 6504 root@bt:~# bash: kcalc-kde3: command not found [1]+ Exit 127 kcalc-kde3 root@bt:~#
As a last resort, I navigate to /usr/kde3/bin, but kcalc is nowhere to be found.Code:root@bt:~# which kcalc root@bt:~# which kcalc-kde3 root@bt:~#
(I'm writing all this just to let you know there's a problem... if I really wanted kcalc so badly I'd just whip the exectuable file from somewhere)
did you check in the menu? tab completion? "whereis kcalc"?
To see what files came out of that package:
dpkg -L kcalc-kde3
Hope i'm not pointing out the obvious but BT4beta already has a calculator in the form of xcalc.
Is kcalc that much better?
Sorry if i've mis-understood.
