Experiences with Cairo Dock

And if you run..

sudo apt install cairo-dock-plug-ins

???

Please post the entire terminal output of this command, include everything in the terminal window from the command itself downwards:

apt install -s cairo-dock-plug-ins

EDIT: Echo...

Right, see if cairo-dock-impulse-plug-in installs or produces an error message that might tell you what's conflicting with a Debian stable install, and so on after each error message. The problem is with your system, not with jessie.

-edit- Make sure you're fully upgraded first...

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

You can test this by installing the latest jessie or BunsenLab ISOs to a testing partition or a VM, cairo-dock will install without error.

Missed your EDIT

Hmmm, looks like my backporting advice may have caused a bit of trouble here

Try uninstalling TLP and then run `sudo apt-get install -f`

It appears that the linrunner repositories are for jessie after all, humble apologies for my silly mistake :8

@hhh Yes, indeed. Bottom line is that there is something fishy with the system here.

@Head_on_a_Stick Now I noticed it too, but it does not seem that tlp is the culprit (or backporting).

I removed tlp and even made a restart -> it's still the same, cairo-dock-plug-ins will not install. It goes back to cairo-dock-impulse-plug-in and this goes back to pulseaudio (see post where I wrote that cairo-dock-core installed).

I'm not sure if it's relevant but I had problems with audio on #bĺ and this helped me to fix it:

sudo alsactl init

At the moment audio is working. However after upgrade I noticed that I could not use headphones anymore.

OK, time to break out the big guns:

sudo aptitude -u

Why aptitude?

martix · 2016-05-01 21:21:23

At least aptitude installed without issues

I also tried some other software and everything seems to be all right. Pulseaudio does not install (aptitude started fine).

Cairo dock working?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2016-05-01 21:25:10

What does the aptitude(8) ncurses interface have to say about your broken packages?

martix · 2016-05-01 21:31:35

@ostrolek Not yet, however it seems that it goes back to pulseaudio, which is missing (otherwise cairo-dock would install fine).

@Head_on_a_Stick There is something called liblognorm2 (if you meant "search" and "find broken").

hhh · 2016-05-01 21:36:33

@matrix, back up your data and reinstall the latest BunsenLabs Stable Release, your sources will automatically be set up correctly by our new installer.

You can keep troubleshooting the way we're doing, but it seems you may have Broken BunsenLabs and that can be very tough to fix if it is fixable.

Try removing it.

^ That package is in jessie-backports/stretch/sid, if you search in them in particular

Head_on_a_Stick · 2016-05-01 21:40:46

^ It's OK, the package is in jessie-backports too.

martix · 2016-05-01 21:42:33

@hhh Yes, indeed, I see.

I'm not sure about the "aptitude(8) ncurses interface". aptitude -u starts fine. What is meant by the ncurses interface?

As seen here:
https://screenshots.debian.net/package/aptitude

The interface is very powerful and probably the best tool for fixing broken systems but it does have a learning curve

So you installed it from a .deb then?

Can you remove the package?
