While trying to install these packages: elementry-desktop, xubuntu-desktop & synaptic my shotwell got removed. Why? Will there be any conflict if I try to install shotwell again? Please help, I really like shotwell.

This is what happened:

  • Note: you can install more than one package at a time - e.g. sudo apt-get install elementary-desktop xubuntu-desktop synaptic. Does sudo apt-get install shotwell shotwell-common do anything?

  • Output: i.imgur.com/zmnXaQB.jpg I guess, that's safe to install?

You can use this command to reinstall those packages:

sudo apt-get install shotwell shotwell-common

Unless is says it will remove half the system, it should be fine to install it.

As for the elementary OS desktop, you may need to add one of the PPAs from here (stable versions are usually best if you want something that just works) to install it, and then you need to select the Pantheon desktop environment from the login screen.

  • Does synaptic work? I would suggest googling for an answer, and if that doesn't work, post a new question.

  • You can post a new question if you need to - bear in mind there is a difference between error messages and it just telling you stuff :-)
