I've been a good boy and tried to find the solution all by my little onezies. Fail.
I followed the instructions on this page http://kivy.org/docs/installation/in...essie-or-newer
to install kivy.
Trouble is that when I type 'apt-get install python-kivy' I get the following output.
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-kivy : Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) but it is not installable
Depends: python-kivy-bin (= 1.8.0-stable0+201409160726~dailypkg43~ubuntu14.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
The main thing that comes up here (for me at least) is the last line "...broken packages"
So looking around I found out there was a "Fix Broken Packages" button in synaptic. Sounds good. Press that button and synaptic says "Successfully fixed dependancy problems." Sounds even better. That's what we like to hear.
Fail.
As far as I can tell (and my knowledge of the subject is minimal) the problem seems to be when looking for the python dependancy. But Python works just fine as far as I can see. I also can not 'apt-get install python3-kivy'.
I've plowed through forum posts but not really come up with anything I can understand or that applies to me directly. Would love some suggestions because I really want to use the kivy library. It's cool.
