PLEASE HELP!
I have zesty... i believe its Ubuntu budgie 17.04 with the kodi interface (17.3) and I need to change ASAP! I'm still a newbie to Linux; last year someone put Budgie on for me (16.04 I believe) and I loved it but wanted a new flavour, so I'd left it upgrading a month ago and was shocked to see that kodi had taken over my laptop! (as a media server I guess) I can't get to my desktop, or apps/progs, so I can't get online, nor access my writing or write! I must say though...All of my entertainment media is available and organized haha...PLEASE HELP ME I would LOVE to get rid of kodi, so I entered the command line "sudo apt-get remove kodi --auto-remove", to which it responds its not installed (wtf? How's that? It runs my pc! Kodi Krypton!) So I tell it to upgrade and it's unable to b/c zesty isn't supported anymore! I just ran: sudo apt-get upgrade and it says "unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt get update or --fix missing " no longer has release file

  • For the time being Ubuntu 16.04 has long time support till 2021. Zesty is not supported anymore. You just need to logout and pick up the budgie desktop in the display manager. – kenn Jan 30 '18 at 20:11
  • 17.04 is EOL (since 13-Jan-2018 when its 9 months of support ended), and to me putting Budgie on it would mean adding the Budgie desktop to your 17.04 machine (you can install multiple desktops on a machine which you select at login). For 17.04 the mentions of archive.ubuntu.com in sources.list files need to be changed to old-releases.ubuntu.com (where post-EOL releases get placed). My next comment will provide a link for more info. Stick to LTS (long-term-support) releases if you want/need a longer life. – guiverc Jan 31 '18 at 00:05
  • I haven't used Kodi in years (it was called 'xbmc' back then as i recall) but I used to exit/logout, then at the login screen select a normal DEsktop (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, ...) and my normal gui would be run. You MAY be able to do the same.. – guiverc Jan 31 '18 at 00:10
  • Thank you everyone! OK so now I got it to update then upgrade to artful...but kodi is still running the system it seems...posting pic in new question – TyphSniftR Jan 31 '18 at 01:41
