[ILUG] Mixing linux distributions

[essam mansour]

I would like to thank you all.

The good news is that I success in installing gnome-desktop-environment
using apt-get install. I did so, because When I try to install
ubuntu-desktop, but I failed.

Now, the system start on gnome login screen.

Now, when I try run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, I get this msg
====
gnome-core: Depends: nautilus (>= 2.12.2) but it is not going to be
installed
  ubuntu-desktop: Depends: alacarte but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: bluez-cups but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: bluez-pin but it is not going to be installed
                  ...
                  ...
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).

when I run apt-get -f install, I get this msg.
