Hey Guys =)
so i installed Kali yesterday, and i didnt like the Iceweasel browser, so i installed firefox and chromium and uninstalled iceweasel.
then i decided i don't like gnome-fallback either, and wanted to install gnome 3. I found a nice guide too, and did this:
Code:
root@kali:/home/oxymoronist# apt-get install gnome-core kali-defaults kali-root-login desktop-base
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
desktop-base is already the newest version.
desktop-base set to manually installed.
gnome-core is already the newest version.
kali-defaults is already the newest version.
kali-root-login is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome-core : Depends: iceweasel (>= 10) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
root@kali:/home/oxymoronist# apt-get -f install iceweasel

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libmozjs22d openjdk-7-jre-lib python-apsw xulrunner-22.0
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Suggested packages:

what else can i try? gnome 3 seems to be installed, but does not work - instead gnome-fallback is running. there comes an error message that gnome3 does not work and instead gnome-fallback is running (i LOVE sentences like these).
gnome is dependent on Iceweasel, i guess, but iceweasel is defect. so installing Iceweasel should fix the problem, right? but how? apt-get -f install does not work.
thank you, complAxx
